But obviously, Maddox did not believe her.
Just as he was about to say something, Minerva stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom." Then, she stayed in the bathroom for a long time. It was not until the delivery guy called her that Minerva cout of the bathroom. After she cout, Maddox gazed at her deeply. She went to the door of the ward to receive the delivery.
As soon as she went out, the delivery man immediately saw her and then delivered the food to her.
It was already midnight so the delivery man gestured to Minerva to be careful and said, "Beautiful lady, I wish you a pleasant meal. Remember to givea 'Like' if you're free." Minerva nodded her head in a stiff manner.
As soon as she nodded her head, she felt a murderous gaze coming from behind her.
It turned out that Maddox's eyes had swept over to them.
The delivery man probably noticed Maddox's murderous expression, so he quickly smiled at Minerva and then left.
Minerva closed the door of the ward with one hand and then turned around to put the food on the table.
The reviews and packaging of the restaurant she chose were very good. The packaging box was also of good quality. It was definitely not the kind of take-out shop that did not even have a single seat on the street. Minerva had also gone to this restaurant before and felt that it was not bad.
She took the soup out to cool it down. Then, she moved it to the table in front of Maddox.

Maddox sat there and looked at her with a pale face. "Feed me." Minerva was confused.
She thought she had heard it wrong.
"My stomach hurts. I don't have any strength." "You're not joking, are you?" She asked.
"I waited outside for too long. I feel so awful now that I can't even lift my hand." Minerva didn't pity him. Instead, she gave him a deadpan smile. "Are you sure you don't have the strength?" Her smile looked as though in the next second, she would lift the bowl of soup and cover his head with it. After Maddox thought for a while, he feigned innocence and lifted his hand, deliberately lifting the spoor with much difficulty.
Minerva, who was standing in front of him, simply put her hands on her chest and looked at him with a serious face. She said, "Eat properly, don't shake your hands. If you shake them, then don't even think about eating anything tonight. I'll leave immediately." She was most definitely threatening him.
But what could Maddox do? In order to make her stay, his movements were steady, and not a drop of soup spilled.
After reaching the bottom of the bowl, Minerva even looked at him with a fake smile and said coldly, "You're quite strong, aren't you?" Maddox thought for a moment and his gaze fell on her delicate facial features. He suddenly leaned close to her and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Minerva, it's not good to be too smart." Their lips were only two to three centimeters away. Minerva's eyelashes fluttered. She could touch Maddox's lips with just a slight movement. For sreason, she thought of the hot kiss they had shared when she was pressed against the tree trunk at the hospital entrance earlier.
Thinking of this, Minerva's face heated up and she suddenly took a few steps back.
"You've already finished your soup. Sit down and rest for a while." After that, she packed up the things on the table and threw them into the trash can outside.
While washing her hands, Minerva stared at her own reflection in the mirror in a daze.
She had clearly made up her mind to not care about him anymore, but why did she still run over when she saw the text message he sent her? Minerva.
"Look at what you're doing now," she thought to herself.
She was in her pajamas with only a coat thrown over. Her hair was also thrown into a cap.
She looked like a pitiful wretch.
"Don't you remember the hurt you suffered five years ago? Now he is kind to you, and he says a few soft words. He cracks a few jokes and you'll be soft-hearted?" She thought again. Minerva closed her eyes and felt that there was no cure for her at that moment. She could only comfort herself.
She went there in the middle of the night because he hurt himself to protect her.
She just needed to wait for him to recover fully, then she would no longer pay attention to him.
The cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Minerva took out her phone to take a look and found that it was Vera who called her.
"Hello?" Due to the fact that she was in the washroom, Minerva's voice was rather low.
She turned around to look at the door of the washroom. Should she shut the door? Maddox would not be able to hear her say anything, would he? While she was thinking about it, there was a thunderous sound of Vera exploding in the phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Minerva Hanover, what's wrong with you? Where are you in the middle of the night? Do you know that Beanie suddenly cto my place? D*mn it! Where are you now? Are you trying to scareto death?" Minerva answered, "Calm down, I'm in the hospital." "The hospital? What happened to you? What are you doing at the hospital?" Probably because she was in a daze from sleep, Vera had forgotten what she was doing in the hospital.
Minerva thought for a moment and lowered her voice. "I'm a little occupied. You know it too. Don't tell Beanie." Vera was stunned for a long time, probably having realized what she was doing in the hospital.
"Oh, I see. You are going to the hospital to find Ma..." "Vera!" Vera said, "Okay,I won't tell him, but Beanie is very worried about you now. He wants to talk to you to confirm your safety." "Give him the phone." Later, Minerva heard a rustling sound from the other side, then she heard Beanie's soft voice.
"Mommy!" Upon hearing his voice, the corners of Minerva's mouth unconsciously lifted into a sincere smile.
"Beanie, it's late at night. Why aren't you sleeping?" "Hey, where did you go in the middle of the night? I saw that you were not in the room!"
"Something happened all of a sudden, so I cout. I saw that you Q were sleeping soundly, so I couldn't bear to wake you up. You won't blme, will you?" "Oh, if it's a very important thing, I won't blyou. Mommy, take good care of yourself and don't catch a cold." Minerva was so moved by her son's sweet words that she nodded vigorously, "Don't worry!" After the mother and son exchanged a few more words, they hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Minerva looked at the screen and smiled om dotingly. She then kept the phone in her pocket and turned around to walk outside. Just as she turned around, the smile on Minerva's face froze. She looked at the person who stood in front of her with a dazed look.
Maddox Yardley...
Why was he there? Minerva was very concerned about that question. When did he come? Did he hear what she had just said? Thinking of this, Minerva's bright expression on her face turned pale.
Maddox's gaze was as sharp as a sword, locking onto her eyes. He said coldly, "Who were you talking to just now?" Minerva bit her lower lip and her heart began to beat violently.
Did he hear everything? Then would he...
"You were really intimate with them, huh?" Maddox narrowed his eyesn dangerously, and his tall body histal squeezed in, occupying the not-so-wide bathroom. X
