Minerva was shocked and her ears turned red instantly. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Maddox curled his lips and said, "If you really feel sorry for me, then stay with me and have nothing to do with that person."

Upon hearing this, Minerva furrowed her brows. She realized that something was wrong. "A-Are you saying this just to make me feel bad for you?"

"I'm telling the truth. So what if you feel sorry for me?" He laughed softly and said, "Sit down and eat. The food on the plane isn't going to be nice." She was stunned. The food on the plane, in fact, was going to be terrible. If she didn't eat now, she definitely would not eat on the plane later.

However, after listening to what he said, she lost her appetite.

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

"Forget it. I've lost my appetite now and I don't want to eat."

Maddox was silent for two seconds before he followed her and stood up. "Then, let's pay the bill. We'll eat on the plane."

She silently nodded.

Later, he took her to the cashier to pay the bill and they went out of the restaurant together.

"What a waste. We only ate two mouthfuls of the food we ordered," Minerva couldn't help but sigh after coming out of the restaurant.

Upon hearing this, Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go back and pack them?"

She kept quiet.

She pretended that she hadn't said anything.

The two of them returned to the boarding gate to wait for their plane. Not long after they sat down, Minerva could not help but ask, "Was your leg injured before?"

"Back then, how did you get hurt? Was it... very serious?"

When she asked this question, she didn't dare to look at him, fearing that she would touch his sore spot.
