After some time, Minerva said softly, "You're injured and I'm not a doctor. What's the point of me being here."

"Who said that there's no point?" Maddox looked up and straight at her. He slightly opened his thin lips and said, "Come here."

Although he looked terrible, he looked much better than before. Minerva did not move forward. Instead, she stood on the spot and said softly, "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. I can hear you from here."

"Really?" Maddox sneered, "But I can't. Come here."

Minerva said, "Don't be insatiably greedy!"

"Fine, then I'll move." After that, Maddox really wanted to get up and walk towards her.

He had just moved a little and Minerva's expression changed drastically. Without much thought, she walked over to him and pressed him back down onto the bed. "Don't mess around. The doctor has just treated your wounds, hasn't he? Why are you..."

Minerva's last words were drowned away by his embrace. He held Minerva in his embrace as she looked a little dazed. Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment. Every breath she took belonged to the man.

Despite... this being a hospital.

Minerva's eyelashes fluttered and she asked hesitatingly, "Wh-what are you doing?"

Maddox breathed greedily on her neck. His voice was muffled and he said, "I just wanted to confirm that you are safe and sound."

Minerva was speechless.

"I'm fine. Hurry up and let go of me," Minerva said as she tried to push him away.

"Mm..." Maddox groaned in pain and this successfully made Minerva stop struggling. She had seen his wounds with her own eyes for a long time. How could she not know how terrifying those wounds were? Hence, when he shouted in pain this time, it must have been really painful. After all, she couldn't even stand just seeing it.

"You're fine but I'm not." There was a hint of grievance in Maddox's voice. All the heat that he exhaled lingered on Minerva's neck. He was especially sad and said, "Are you going to push me away even if it's just a hug?"

Minerva blinked her eyes. Why did she feel that this man was taking advantage of her by using his injuries?

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
