His gaze was burning hot and the back of Minerva's head felt numb from his stare. She could only reply curtly, "If you don't have anything else to do today, you can rest. I'll go back first." "So early?" Maddox looked at the time and said, "Please stay with me for a while."

Such a natural tone made Minerva anxious.

Just a second ago, he had a serious look on his face as he questioned her. And just a moment later, he became relaxed, as though he had become a completely different person. How could he change his mood so quickly?

Minerva quietly muttered a few words in her heart. After which, she said, "That won't do. I have some matters to attend to this afternoon. I need to return first."

"What is it?" Maddox asked, but Minerva's heart skipped a beat.

She promised to pick Beanie up from school that afternoon. When Minerva thought of Beanie, she felt that his face was almost identical with Maddox's.

Thinking of this, Minerva coughed lightly and said, "It's not a big deal but I still have to go. You take care of yourself in the hospital first. I'll come and see you tomorrow when I'm free."

"What about my dinner? If you don't come, won't you even give me dinner?" His question was laced with grievance.

Minerva thought for a moment. There didn't seem to be anyone in his house who could cook. It wasn't practical to ask Sam to bring him food. A big man like Sam would probably only know how to buy bread? No, that's not right, Minerva thought as she shook her head.

How could she confuse herself? Maddox came from a prestigious family and there was a first-class chef at home. How could he worry that there wouldn't be anything to eat?

Thinking of this, Minerva said, "Let me think about it first. If I'm free, I'll bring you some food."

She then picked up her bag, turned around, and left quickly.

After leaving the ward, Minerva heaved a long sigh of relief.
