When Minerva came out, Maddox was still waiting by the door.
She walked to her bed, frowning. She then saw the phone on the table and picked it up. After a glance, she found that someone had cracked the password of her phone.
She turned around to look at her suspect. 'Are you the one who did this?"
Maddox clearly knew about it but didn't plan to answer her. He went to her and took her phone. "Are you hungry? Breakfast is ready. You..."
"Maddox! Did you peek at my phone? And you cracked my password as well? Do you know that it's immoral to do that? Why did you do that? I can sue you!"
Minerva pushed him away forcefully and snatched her phone over. Then, she took a few steps back and pressed her back against the wall while venting her anger on Maddox.
"Sue me?"
Maddox frowned when he saw her behaving in such a manner. After a while, he laughed mockingly. "I watched over you for a whole night, yet this is what I get in return? Woman, are you that ruthless?"
Minerva fell silent and glared at him.
Maddox chuckled. "If I don't crack the password of your phone, how am I supposed to send a message to Vera to send you something to eat? Or do you think of me as the kind of person who only wants to spy on the secrets in your phone? I am not such a jerk."
Minerva made no reply, but deep down, she was touched by his act.
She was mad at him for cracking her phone's password. She jumped to a conclusion without careful consideration. After listening to Maddox's words, she felt as if she was being unreasonable.
However... she wasn't in the wrong either. Maddox was already married, but he had spent a night with her in the ward.
Even if he was not bothered about it, Minerva could not accept it.
Thinking of this, she did not speak further and called Vera right away.
"Minerva?"
"Come pick me up at the hospital and help me with the discharge documents. By the way, bring a set of clothes for me."
Vera sensed a hint of coldness in her voice and immediately nodded without further questions. "Okay, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Minerva walked out of the ward, bypassing Maddox. She thought that she would handle the discharge papers on her own before Vera's arrival.
Never did she expect Maddox to catch up with her as soon as she got to the door. He frowned, "What are you doing?"
Minerva continued pacing forward without answering him.
"Ha," Maddox laughed callously. He continued, "Even if you are in such a hurry to leave, shouldn't you put on your shoes before leaving?"
Hearing his words, Minerva paused. She lowered her head and realized that she wasn't wearing shoes. At this moment, she was standing barefoot on the floor.
When she was in a daze, she had been swept off her feet by Maddox. He held her in his arms and walked back. Minerva was stunned for a moment and reacted at once, "Let me go!"
Maddox had on a poker face. He carried her to the bed and put her down. Then, he brought her shoes in front of her.
"Wear them."
Minerva bit her lip and looked up at him with hatred in her eyes. This b*stard was really annoying.
Although she was glaring at him, her gaze sent both love and hate down Maddox's heart.
He could not hold it in any longer. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pressed her against the bed.
"Why are you looking at me in such a way? Didn't anyone tell you that a man would go crazy just for your gaze?"
He did not kiss her, but he was extremely close to her; she could even feel his breath. It did not cause Minerva to blush, but she felt even more humiliated.
Minerva closed her eyes, her lips trembling slightly.
"Maddox Yardley."
