David immediately stood up as he was shocked.
"You didn't hurt yourself, did you?" He asked in concern.
Minerva looked at her scalded hand as her heart was violently thumping.
She had a very bad premonition.
She was at a blind spot. She couldn't see what was happening on the second floor. As such, she didn't know what was going on.
"What's going on on the second floor?" She asked.
David was attracted by the voice as well. It's just that Minerva spilled the tea over herself before he had the chance to find out what was going on. As such, his focus was drawn towards her.
Mrs. Yardley was just sitting in front of him. What should he do if she had hurt herself in his daughter's restaurant?
He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Perhaps something happened. I'll go and have a look later. What about your hand... Why don't you go inside to rinse it with water first? I'll ask Vera to buy you medicine," he said.
"I'm fine," she replied.
Minerva could feel her heart beating fast. Even though Maddox didn't look any different, she was still worried. David was the same as her and didn't know what had happened. She couldn't be at ease. She stood up while ignoring her scalded hand.
"Mr. Zais, I'm going to check out the situation. Please sit here for a while," she said.
Upon realizing that her complexion had turned bad, he immediately got up and said, "Well, I'll go there with you."
"Sure."
However, just as they got up and walked towards the stairs, they heard a girl shouting.
"Help! There's a guy here who just fainted," she cried.
Those words immediately struck Minerva's heart. She was startled and quickly walked over. She froze when she saw the situation in front of her.
"Mr... Mr. Yardley? What's going on?" David was so nervous that he began to stammer. His face started to turn pale.
Just when Vera came out to serve the food, she also happened to hear the commotion. "What happened?" She asked.
Her face turned pale as well when she saw the situation. She quickly looked at Minerva while trying to reach her phone.
"Minerva, don't worry, I'll call the ambulance this instant," Vera said.
Minerva stopped her and looked at her. "Calling for the ambulance is too slow. Get Sam to come out. We'll go to the hospital immediately," she said.
"Okay, I'll go and call Sam right away," Vera quickly went.
After Minerva finished making arrangements with Vera, she quickly walked up the stairs to help Maddox.
When the girl who held him saw Minerva, she seemed to doubtfully look at her.
"Thank you for taking care of him. Let me handle him." She went forward and crouched down to hold Maddox. His face was now deathly pale and his entire body was covered in sweat. His brows were tightly knitted together. One could tell that he was suffering a lot from his current expression.
She silently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and calmly waited.
Even though she was extremely terrified, she tried to remain calm.
The girl who wanted to chat with him silently watched Minerva and immediately understood their relationship.
