He suggested taking a rest and she didn't dare to go against him. She carefully helped him back to his room to rest.

Maddox was truly exhausted. Although he was alone with Minerva, he didn't have the energy to do anything. Furthermore, she was taking great care of him. After he got into bed, she lightly covered the blanket over him, with a serious expression on her face as if she was taking care of a child.

As he watched her, he swallowed hard and grabbed her hand before she could turn around. "Come here," He said in a husky voice.

She looked at him in shock as he gripped her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Let's sleep together."

She froze for a moment. Then, she started blushing and glared at him.

"How could you still be in the mood for that at a time like this?"

She pushed Maddox away furiously and swung his hand off her.

Suddenly, he started coughing. Minerva's expression instantly turned solemn again. She leaned over and asked him, "Are you okay?"

He noticed the nervous expression on her face. He slowly reached out his hand and caressed her cheek with a faint smile on his face. "I'm asking you to get some sleep with me. What are you thinking about at a time like this?" He asked..

"Didn't you mean... That?" She muttered.

"What do you mean?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. "Madam, please explain yourself."

She felt her face burning up and she felt that she had fallen into his trap. She gave him an angry glare.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you? Do you enjoy making fun of me? How could you be making jokes in this condition?" She cried.

He noticed a tear stain at the corner of her eye. "Lean closer to me," he said in a hoarse voice.

"What are you trying to do?" Minerva replied in a rough voice. "Are you trying to trick me again? I'm not going to fall for it."

She was furious. She was anxious about what had happened to him earlier and now, he was playing games with her. She couldn't take it anymore.
