"Minerva hadn't eaten anything all day?"

Maddox furrowed his brows as he looked at the unconscious woman. No wonder she was in so much pain; she had little regard for her health.

As soon as the words escaped Vera's lips, she instantly clammed her mouth shut. She had revealed too much.

She then hastily asked, "Mr. Yardley, could you let me know which hospital she is in? I'd like to go see her."

"That wouldn't be convenient."

He hung up immediately after finishing his sentence.

Vera was left with the empty sounds of her phone's dial tone.

Deep in thought, Vera pursed her lips. Although she found Maddox an annoyance, he did however, sound evidently distressed, like he had a dismal cloud hung over his head during their brief conversation.

He must be rather worried about Minerva. He had not mentioned that he was not in the hospital, so she assumed that he was.

In the end, Vera, unable to shake the worry off, decided to send out a text.
