"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.

"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.

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