As for Maddox, it was hard enough for him to endure the pain in his head while maintaining an unchanged expression. Minerva seemed to have noticed something when he agreed to head over to the back garden with her. She hurriedly walked over to him and wrapping her arms around his.
It seemed like she was offering him support rather than urging him to go to the backyard. As if she was afraid that he would fall over.
Maddox's brows furrowed further when he noticed that she was offering him support.
It turned out that she knew all along.
She just did not expose him.
He did not want her to see him in pain, only because he did not want her to worry. It was obvious that she knew what he was thinking. She accepted his way of doing things but discreetly turned things around by doing it her way.
How well-intentioned.
His woman.
Maddox suddenly stopped in his tracks at the thought of this.
Minerva was stunned a second before she said, "Why don't you wait for me here? I'll check out the garden by myself. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Although she deliberately changed the topic, she knew that he was trying hard to suppress the pain. If she remained by his side, he would keep pretending that everything was fine.
At this moment, Maddox's pale lips twitched as he lowered his head to look at her.
"I am somewhat in pain."
Minerva's smile froze for a moment as she looked at Maddox dumbfoundedly. She had not expected him to suddenly confess to her. She did not know how to react and merely stared at him blankly.
"Don't go? Please?"
He lowered his body and buried his face in her neck. When he smelled the fragrance on her body, he felt as if his headache subsided a little. Minerva did not expect him to suddenly confess and tell her not to leave him. When she finally came back to her senses, she could only reach out and hug him.
"Alright then, I won't go. Then I... Why don't we go into the room and sit for a while."
"Okay."
In the end, Minerva helped him into the room. After she sat him down, she noticed his complexion still looked very poor. She turned around and said, "I'll go and get you a glass of water."
Maddox lifted his head to look at her while his head throbbed with pain. When he saw her left in such a hurry, he could not help but frown and wanted to say something to her, then the scene in front of him changed. He leaned against the sofa weakly.
Although Minerva was in a hurry, her steps were steady. She reminded herself that she was pregnant, so she had to always be careful. She quickly made her way to the kitchen downstairs. Just as she was about to pour a glass of water, she realized there was no boiled water because no one had been living here for a long while.
Moreover, the kettle had been kept away. Minerva searched through the cabinets for a long time before finally finding the kettle. She then washed it and boiled one round of water before boiling another round.
She was worried that something might go wrong since the kettle hadn't been used for so many years after all.
Minerva decided to head back upstairs while waiting for the water to boil.
Just as she walked to the kitchen door, she turned around, picked up the kettle as well as a cup, and brought it upstairs.
Maddox laid on the sofa with his eyes closed. His eyelashes fluttered gently in the air.
Ever since the last time he and Jeremy tried to reenact the scene to stimulate his memory, his mental state seemed to have gotten worse with each passing day. He could still carry out his daily life properly.
However, as long as his memory was stimulated even by a little, then his mind would have to bear great destruction.
