In front of her, even though Maddox gave her a pleading look, he was still so strong.

However, if he said it out loud, he would look petty.

He didn't look like himself at all.

Was it because of her?

Minerva closed her eyes and felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart. Finally, with her eyes quivering, she extended her arms and tried to hug Maddox.

Ten minutes later.

The two of them returned to the ward together.

It was warm in the ward. Minerva led Maddox to the bed and then turned around to fetch some water. Yet, as soon as she turned around, Maddox grabbed her hand and asked, "Where are you going?" There was a trace of anxiety in his voice and he stared at her with a frown.

Minerva gave him a helpless expression. "Your hands are cold. I'll pour you a glass of water."

"You won't leave?"

It seemed as though he didn't believe her so he had to ask just to make sure.

Minerva shook her head. "I'm not leaving."

"You're already acting this way. If I leave, won't you just stay out in the cold again?" She thought to herself.

Of course, she did not speak this aloud.

"Let go, now." Minerva pushed his hand away but Maddox didn't want to let go. Minerva said angrily, "You don't want to let go, do you? Then stand up and go with me to get some water." Upon hearing this, Maddox pursed his lips and released his grip on her.
