On the other side, Minerva finally coaxed Maddox to sleep.

It was hard to imagine that a grown man like him would also need to be coaxed to sleep.

Maddox hadn't been able to sleep well for the past few days. Probably because he was attacked and tortured mentally, it became difficult for him to fall asleep. Moreover, even if he managed to fall asleep, he would wake up from his nightmares at any time.

His condition was, in fact, quite serious. It wouldn't be a big deal if it only lasted a few days.

However, it would be detrimental to his mental state if this kept on.

Knowing what Maddox was going through, Minerva felt both annoyed and distressed.

What annoyed her was that he had done those things without informing her. What distressed her was that he was so mentally beaten up. He was such a strong man, but he still ended up like this. She could only imagine what he had gone through to arrive at such a state.

Therefore, the only thing Minerva could do was to coax him. However, the rascal had taken advantage of the situation and touched her waist on and off. Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "I miss you. I can only sleep if you kiss me."

Minerva didn't say anything.

She really wanted to slap him on the face and ask when he had become so shameless.

But when she saw his pale face and thin lips, Minerva didn't have the heart to do so. She only lowered her head obediently and kissed him.

Minerva originally intended to only give him a peck on his lips to comfort him.

However, as soon as her lips touched his, Maddox immediately became bold. He put his hand on the back of her head and kissed her.

"Oh."

Minerva's eyes widened. She did not expect him to be so shameless, so she pushed him away. Maddox let out a muffled groan and let out a sound from between his lips.

"I'm a patient now. How do you have the heart to push me?" Maddox asked.

A patient? Minerva snickered in her heart.

Would there be a patient as strong as him? However, his thin lips were slightly cold and dry. Furthermore, Minerva had also missed him during this time, so she wasn't able to refuse him.
