After Maddox finished eating, Minerva packed her things and washed the thermos. She then placed it on the hospital table afterwards, and started looking at her phone.
It was already past eight o'clock. Looking out of the window, it was already completely dark.
Before coming here, Vera had promised Minerva that she would pick Beanie up and told her not to worry about him.
Maddox frowned when he saw her holding her phone. "Are you going back now?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva put away her phone. Then, she pursed her lips and said, "I'll be here to accompany you. Don't worry."
Maddox raised his eyebrows in surprise. He did not expect her to stay back for him voluntarily. He had thought... that he had to use his unique skill again.
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking." Minerva timely cut off his thoughts, as if she had seen right through him. "Isn't it just that same trick? You never get tired of it. Anyway, you're the one who got injured on my behalf. You know that I can't do anything to you now, so go ahead and take advantage of the fact that you still have that wound to use."
After saying that, Minerva sat down on a chair beside him. Perhaps she was bored, so she took out her mobile phone again and he didn't know who she was texting.
Maddox was exposed by her on the spot. However, he was not annoyed nor did he feel ashamed.
So what if she did see through him?
He knew that he was very despicable, but... as long as he could keep her by his side, how would it matter?
As long as the result was what he wanted, he was satisfied.
The emotion in Maddox's eyes deepened when he thought of that.
Although Minerva stayed, she did not pay him any attention, let alone look at him. She also didn't ask if his wounds hurt or not.
She just looked at her phone while Maddox looked at her.
Maddox felt displeased as he looked on.
"Was his presence that undetectable?" As Maddox thought about this, he suddenly gave a muffled snort.
Minerva heard a muffled snort and she raised her head subconsciously. When she saw Maddox's pale face and cold sweat, she was so frightened that she quickly put down her phone and ran over to him.
"What's wrong with you? Are your wounds hurting more? I'll call the doctor right away!"
After that, Minerva wanted to turn around and call for the doctor, but Maddox stopped her and said, "No."
Minerva turned around and said, "Aren't you in pain? Why can't I call the doctor? We don't know what's going on with the wound. Let the doctor come and take care of it."
She didn't give him the chance to refuse. She quickly went out of the ward and then called the doctor to come over.
His wound was indeed very serious. When the doctor heard that he might have had other symptoms, he quickly followed up and examined Maddox. Then, he frowned and said, "What happened? Didn't your wound get treated well before? Why did it suddenly get worse again? What did you all do?"
Minerva's expression changed after hearing those words. She recalled what Maddox had done earlier. Sure enough, those actions he did just now had caused his wounds to worsen yet again. However, the b*stard's expression was calm. It was as if he didn't take his injury seriously at all.
Seeing that they did not speak, the doctor looked around and said, "I'll treat it again, but he'll have to lay face down at night to avoid touching the wound again. Also, don't do anything that will lead to further tearing of the wound or else it will get worse. The wound is very severe so he really needs to rest. If this happens repeatedly and causes the wound to get worse, then don't blame me for telling you both this now."
The doctor had already explained everything so clearly. How could Minerva not understand what was going on? She nodded and said, "Alright, doctor, I've memorized everything. I'll make sure that he pays attention to it in the future."
Later, when the doctor treated his wound, he saw that Maddox's eyes had been fixed on Minerva and did not move away. Thus, he mistakenly thought that they were a young couple. Before leaving, he said, "Take good care of your husband. The injury could be even more serious. If the wound is not cured entirely, it will be very troublesome in the future."
