Seeing Maddox like this, it would be a lie for Minerva to say that she was not distressed. Her expression changed drastically. She charged in and turned off the shower.

Minerva bent down and touched Maddox's shoulder, only to find that his whole body was cold. After being under the cold water for such a long time, coupled with the drug's effect, he must be in great pain. His clothes stuck to his. body; Minerva could only clumsily unbutton him. She took off the coat that had become heavier after being soaked in water.

It would still be alright if he kept drenching himself in cold water, however, he would have to stay there until the next morning.

It was winter, and if he decided to continue on until the next morning, he would be frozen to death.

"Take off your coat and try to move your body," The soaked jacket was very heavy; it took Minerva great effort to move Maddox's shoulder.

Maddox, who had been motionless this whole time, finally opened his eyes. He looked at her dully and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come in?" He sounded weak and a little shaky.

Minerva didn't even have to raise her head to feel that his gaze was as deep as a wolf hiding in the dark. She didn't look into his eyes but repeated her words.

However, Maddox still did not move; He slowly raised his hand and clasped her wrist. "Do you know how hard I had been trying to endure?" He said in a hoarse voice.

Minerva raised her head in shock, "I-I know..."

Of course, she knew.

She had been drugged in the past so she naturally knew how painful it was to endure and because of that, she didn't want him to suffer alone.

"You know?" Maddox squinted his eyes; a dangerous glint emerged. He tugged on her wrist with some force and Minerva uncontrollably fell onto his chest, "Since you know, why did you still come in?" Minerva nervously blinked her eyes a few times, bit her lower lip, and said, "I'm worried about you."

After that, she lowered her eyes and pursed her thin lips as if she was making a major decision. After a while, she raised her head again and looked at him, "I want to help you."

Maddox's breathing turned heavy when he heard that. He gritted his teeth and looked at her, "What did you say? Say it again!"

He looked terrifying that moment as if his gaze alone could swallow her whole. Minerva subconsciously tucked her neck, but when she saw his pale, thin lips and restrained expression, she could only suppress her fear and take the initiative to approach him.

"I know you're uncomfortable, but it's winter now. You'll get sick if you soak yourself in cold water the whole night." She said.
