Minerva led the way while Geoffrey helped Maddox in.

The journey was short, but Maddox's reasoning had been completely consumed by the effect of the medication. He did not say anything the whole ride. Instead, he sat with his eyes closed and pursed his lips, trying his best to resist the urge that threatened to break out of his body.

After hearing the familiar voice, Maddox opened his eyes and saw Minerva walking in front. She looked to be in a hurry, but more importantly, she was only wearing pajamas.

Maddox frowned.

They reached the bathroom very quickly. As soon as Maddox entered, Geoffrey said, "Minerva, please stay out for a while."

Minerva didn't know what had happened, but she believed that Geoffrey wouldn't hurt Maddox. Therefore, she obediently walked out and stood at the door of the bathroom.

The next moment, she saw Geoffrey turning on the shower and directed it at Maddox.

Minerva widened her eyes and stopped Geoffrey from continuing as soon as she saw that.

"What are you doing?"

Geoffrey paused and looked at Minerva, who was standing at the door. Seeing that she was somewhat upset, he opened his mouth but didn't know how to explain to her. "Minerva, I..."

Maddox, who had been silent all this while, looked up. His deep gaze fell on Minerva's slender body; he asked in a low voice, "Where's your coat?"

"Huh?" Minerva did not understand why he would suddenly ask such a question. She lowered her head and looked at the pajamas she was wearing. Maddox continued, "Go wear a coat, don't catch a cold."

As he was speaking, beads of cold sweat appeared on Maddox's forehead again. He looked to be in tremendous pain.

Minerva's nose felt a little sour, but she still listened to him and went to put on her jacket.

Geoffrey, who was standing off to the side, said sourly, "Well good for you, Sebastian, you're still caring about your woman wearing too little even when you're already in this state?"

He was really speechless. Even though Maddox had been drugged and tormented the whole journey, Geoffrey thought he would explode any moment. But to his surprise, he still had the mood to ask Minerva to wear a coat so as not to catch a cold.

Geoffrey didn't receive any response so he looked at Maddox. This b*stard had closed his eyes again and pursed his thin lips tightly; he was still in a bad state.
