After being taken into the room, Maddox brought Minerva to wash her hands at the sink. Only then did she realize that there was a wound on her hand.

She squatted down to pick up the pieces and had accidentally scratched them.

At that time, she was stunned and then stood up. She couldn't understand how things had turned out like this.

She looked at the wound and asked, "How did you find such a small wound?"

He didn't know how to respond to her.

He pursed his thin lips in a displeased way and then put her injured part into his mouth and gently sucked it.

"You!" She was anxious. Her face was red, and she wanted to pull her hand back.

However, he was too powerful. He held her hand all the time and didn't let her go until a long time later. He said coldly, "Don't do these things anymore. Call the nanny back."

She curled her lips and said, "It was just an accident. I've always done well in the past, but..."

She hesitated for a moment and was still curious about what Abigail had said to Maddox in the living room. She hid her hands behind her back and asked, "Did my aunt say anything to you?" He looked at her and did not answer.

She became anxious when she saw him like this. She reached out to grab his sleeve and said, "Tell me about it."

"What are you rushing for?"

He said in a low and pleasant voice, with a smile hidden in his dark eyes, "Is this the accident you were talking about?"

"No!" After a moment of silence, Minerva shook her head.

"Don't worry."

When he saw she seemed to have calmed down, Maddox put his hands down to grab her hand and took hold of her fair palm.

"As for Grandpa, I will handle it. If it doesn't work, I still have an option to elope with you, don't I?"
