Maddox's hand movements paused. Then, he lifted his eyes and looked at her face. His thin lips curled up slightly.
"It doesn't really matter. I've leaned on you all night so repaying you like this isn't going to trouble me much."
Minerva was speechless. She was frozen for a few seconds before shifting his hand away. "This isn't about how much it is going to trouble you but it is about your wound."
After saying that, she stood up and added, "See, my legs feel fine now and I can stand up. You should hurry up and sit properly."
When she was about to go to the bathroom, she was still limping a little. After all, her legs had just recovered, so it was not a particularly smooth walk for her. However, Minerva still entered the bathroom under his gaze.
When she came out of the bathroom, she realised that there was another person in the ward. It was Sam.
Minerva was stunned for a moment after seeing him. She then took out a piece of tissue to dry her hands while walking over.
"Why are you here so early?" She asked very naturally. Even Sam could not react in time. He could only nod his head lightly.
"You should go back and have a rest today, then come back again in the evening," Maddox said as he looked at Minerva.
Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped walking and her gaze fixated at his face. "Come back again in the evening?"
Maddox pursed his thin lips and frowned slightly. "Why, you're not willing to?"
Minerva didn't answer.
How could she be unwilling to? She just thought that she had to take care of him 24 hours a day. She didn't expect that he would ask Sam to come over to cover her for a while.
At least he still had some conscience in him.
"Then I'll come back again in the evening and bring along some food for you. I'll go back and have a rest first."
After all, she had sat in the chair all night and her whole body was sore. In addition to that, she still had to go back to the company to deal with some issues as well.
"Okay, I'll wait for you tonight."
When Minerva was about to leave, she heard Maddox's words. Somehow, it felt very ambiguous to her. She glanced at Sam and saw that he was also looking at her too.
Minerva's face turned warm and she quickly left the hospital.
Of course, when she left, she did not forget to take away the thermos that she had brought along with her the previous night.
After she left, Sam's face turned cold.
"Young Master Yardley, you were too impulsive this time. How are you going to explain yourself to Auntie Stark for getting injured so badly?"
Maddox said nonchalantly, "Who said I should explain it to her?" After Minerva left, he subconsciously wanted to lay back down. However, as soon as his back touched the bed, he sat up immediately because of the pain. He had been expressionless when she was there, but now he gritted his teeth and grimaced.
He acted differently from the previous night, where he could still complain to her while lying on his back.
"If I don't tell Auntie Stark, what should I do if she asks?" Sam's face and eyes were a little depressed. "Young Master Yardley, this is not just an ordinary injury, and Auntie Stark is a doctor... She would be able to recognize it at one glance. If she knows that you got injured in order to save Miss Hanover, then she would definitely..."
"Why are you addressing her as Miss Hanover?" Maddox suddenly interrupted him and said with an unhappy frown, "Call her Young Madam."
Sam uttered, "Young Master Yardley."
"Why?" Maddox's thin lips curved into a cold smile as he said, "Is it that my words are not of much importance anymore now that I am injured?"
Sam immediately lowered his eyes and gloomily said, "That's not true, but... As Young Master Yardley's injuries are so serious. I think next time..."
"Is it now your turn to teach me what to do?" Before he could finish his words, Maddox interrupted him coldly.
"Young Master Yardley, it's been five years already. You..."
"Get out." Maddox suddenly got angry and ordered.
