As soon as she finished speaking, Minerva immediately ran out of the ward.
Maddox laid in bed and was waiting to drink some water. He was speechless and had no idea what's going on.
After a brief moment, the doctor came. He was surprised to see Maddox awake. He performed a check-up on Maddox and ensured he was alright before he left.
As soon as the doctor left, Minerva poured a cup of warm water for Maddox and helped him up.
"Have some water," Minerva said.
Maddox did not move; he stared at her motionlessly.
His gaze was intense, and Minerva felt awkward. "What... what's wrong?" Minerva uttered.
Maddox pursed his lips and wanted to argue with her. However, his voice cracked when he spoke. His eyebrows tightened and had no choice but to grab the cup of water. He took a few sips of water to soothe his throat.
At this moment, Minerva took out her phone to send some messages to everyone.
She wanted to tell them that Maddox was awake.
For convenience's sake, Minerva made a group chat and sent the news there.
As soon as she was done with the message, Maddox quickly snatched her phone just as she was about to make a post on her profile.
"I just woke up, and you choose to look at your phone instead of me?" He questioned.
Minerva raised her head in shock. She lightly bit her lower lip and shook her head.
"That's not it. Everyone has been worried sick ever since you've been in a coma. Now that you're awake, I have to inform everyone." Minerva explained.
"Well, you're done with it," Maddox said as he put her phone under his pillow. He obviously didn't want Minerva to touch her phone again.
Minerva didn't know what he meant. She thought for a while and took that he didn't want her to be on her phone. So, she didn't insist.
"The doctor just did a check-up on you. Are you feeling any discomfort at the moment? Or do you want to have some more water? Are you hungry? How about I call for some..." Minerva anxiously asked.
She asked one question after another. All of them were concerns for Maddox.
He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Minerva looked up at him as she fell into his embrace.
"What are you doing?" Minerva asked.
Maddox held her chin. A dangerous aura emanated from his eyes.
"Who was the one who just said that she didn't want me anymore?" Maddox asked.
Minerva blinked her eyes and looked at him helplessly.
It was the third time he had asked this. She could tell that he was really bothered by it. She failed to avoid the topic after being asked twice earlier, perhaps he wasn't going to let her off the hook this time either.
"Hmm?" Maddox sounded.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Maddox asked again. This time, his tone deepened even more. It was as if he wouldn't let her go until he got an answer.
"Alright, I did. But it was only to see if I could get some reaction from you. Why did you have to remain in a coma? As soon as I said that, you woke up. Isn't it great?" Minerva explained.
Maddox narrowed his eyes warningly. "Great?"
"What I'm trying to say is that it's great that you're awake now. What I said earlier... was only to get you to wake up. If I really didn't want you anymore, would I still be here by your side?" Minerva explained.
Maddox was stunned as soon as he heard her explanation.
That was true. How could she not want him anymore?
Even in the past, when he got into an accident and disappeared from the face of Earth, she didn't even know if he was still alive. However, as soon as she found him and realized that he'd lost his memory, she survived through all of that alone.
At the thought of this, Maddox slowly approached her and breathed some warm air onto her face.
Minerva's eyes subconsciously widened when she saw him lean close towards her. She immediately pushed him away and said in an urgent tone.
