Quill frowned as looked at the petite figure running away from his sight. He didn't have tto react.
Vera quickly ran upstairs and hid in her room; her heart was beating fast.
"What's going on?" Quill walked towards her and if she was not mistaken as to where he was looking at, he had stared at her lips.
Could it be that... He wanted to talk to her about how she had suddenly kissed him that day? Thinking of this, Vera quickly reached out and placed her hands on her chest. "What are you jumping for? How could you be so disappointing?" After thinking about it, she regretted it a little. Why did she run away when Quill took the initiative to approach her just now? She should have taken that great opportunity to tease him again, shouldn't she? For example, she could ambush him and kiss him again? What a good idea! But... She had wasted such a great opportunity.
"Sob..." Vera covered her cheeks with her hands and started to cry.
In the hospital...
By the tMinerva arrived at the hospital with the thermos, it had already been more than an hour. When she entered the ward, there was a flash of joy in Maddox's dark eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sadness. He sat there with a gloomy face and he didn't greet her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMinerva didn't bother to talk to him also. She placed the thermos on the table and opened the lid.
As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of food wafted out, and it soon filled the entire ward.
Maddox had waited for a long time. Furthermore, he had rushed over to her without even having a meal when he received her call. His stomach was empty now. As such, when he smelled the aroma of food, it felt as if his stomach was feeling restless inside.
He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "This woman..." Thinking of this, his throat moved, but he didn't say a word in the end.
Minerva placed the soup into a bowl. Considering that it was inconvenient for him as he was injured, she specially brought the food right in front of him.
"Eat it." Maddox did not take it. Instead, he stared at her unhappily.
Minerva raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?" "You askedto wait for you for only an hour." "That's right." Minerva nodded and said, "Is there a problem with that?" Maddox did not speak and stared at her closely. After a while, he said in a complaining tone.
"You were late for thirty minutes." Minerva said, "So what? Because I was late, you don't want to eat anymore?" She then waved the bowl in her hand at him.
Maddox said, "Coax me." Minerva was puzzled.
Maddox, "I am a patient." Minerva was silent and she resisted the urge to smash his head into pieces. A cold, wicked smile appeared on her red lips as she said, "Are you serious?" Maddox nodded, "Yes." Then he sat in front of her and his breath mingled with hers. "If you don't coax me, then I won't eat. If I don't eat, then it will be difficult for the wound to heal. This was the wound suffered on your behalf. The doctor said that it will leave a scar in the future." Minerva glanced at him. Was this person deliberately using his wound to take advantage of her? It was very obvious that he was.
"And I have to do reconstructive surgery because of it. How could you bear to not leteat?" Hearing this, Minerva laughed coldly. Then, she put the bowl on the table next to him and made a clear sound. "Eat it if you want to. It won't bewho starved to death anyway." Then, she stood up and walked over to the side of the thermos. She packed her things in and her movements paused. She looked at Maddox from the comer of her eyes. That b*stard had actually laid back on the bed on his back. There was still a wound on his back! Thinking of this, Minerva's face changed instantly. She turned around and rushed over.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that your back is injured? Why are you lying on your back?" Maddox was lying there, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
"No one cares aboutanyway. It's better forto die." "What's wrong with this kid's tone?" Minerva was stunned. She finally cto the realization that Maddox's temperament and attitude towards her had changed. He was even more shameless now.
He didn't care that he was the President of the Yardley Corporation and he didn't care about his own image at all. How could there... be such a person? Although Minerva was very angry, there was nothing else she could do as she thought of the shocking wounds. He had truly been badly injured by the sulfuric acid. There was no way the skin on his back could heal completely in the future. There would definitely be a scar left on his back. Furthermore, if it had been an ordinary person, that person would have collapsed long ago, being injured like that. However, he still could use the wounds to make her stay by his side.
Forget it; she couldn't do anything if he hadn't recovered.
Minerva closed her eyes and tried to suppress the other emotions in her heart. Finally, she opened her eyes and lifted the bowl on the table. "I'm begging you, Maddox. Get up and eat something. Your health is the most important thing to care about. If you lose your life, then you'll have nothing." She began to nag at him like an old woman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaddox's expression changed slightly as he looked at her.
"Is this coaxing me?" She naturally nodded, "Isn't that so?" Maddox slightly lifted the corner of his pale lips and said, "No, I still don't want to eat it." Minerva really lost her temper and asked, "Then what do you want?" Maddox raised his hand and pointed to the corner of his mouth. His meaning was obvious. Minerva's pupils shrank when she looked at him.
She thought, "This shameless b*stard."
"Impossible. I can coax you to eat but I can't do anything else more than that. Maddox, if you don't want to eat, then I'll just throw away the soup ↑ cooked by myself. Then, I'll call Sam to cover and ask him to take care of you. As for your injuries, I'll pay for all the medical expenses incurred." After speaking, Minerva took out her phone and acted as if she wanted to call Sam. However, in the next second, Maddox suddenly sat up from the bed. He moved so quickly that Minerva was startled.
Before she could react, Maddox grabbed hold of her wrist which was holding the phone.
"Did you just say that you made all this yourself?" Maddox didn't care about the others. He only cared about this.
Minerva saw his sudden actions. This kind of violent action would certainly ound, so pull the wound, so she immediately forgot that she had to make the call and went directly to his back to check his wound. However, Maddox was still grabbing her wrist tightly. "Answer me!" "Yes, I prepared all of this myself, so do you want to eat or not?" "Yes." Maddox stared at her and stretched out his hands to her and said, "I was wrong just now. I'll eat now." Minerva was speechless.
She placed the bowl in front of him and said, "Eat it quickly, otherwise it'll get cold in a while."
"Okay." Maddox nodded obediently.
Then, he ate the soup that she had cooked personally, with his head lowered ered down. He took a sip and frowned in disgust. "Why does it taste so bland?" "What else? You are already injured. Are you still expecting a feast full of delicious food?" Maddox was speechless.
Maddox's lips twitched when he saw how cold her eyes were. He then said, "No, this is quite good." X
