Minerva was about to leave, but she stopped when she heard Vera's voice. She turned around.

She walked towards the door again and lifted her hand to knock, but she thought about what Vera said about wanting to be left alone and what Maddox had told her earlier.

In the end, she put her hand back down.

Perhaps, it might be best for Vera to be alone for now so that she could reorganize her thoughts.

Hopefully, she would be able to come up with an answer the next day.

There were many instances in life where you should choose to let go despite how hard it was.

If Vera's feelings towards Quill made her suffer and even made her lose her identity, perhaps this was the chance for her to put an end to her feelings towards him. It might not be a bad thing for her.

As she thought about this, she said softly, "Alright then. Have some time alone to clear out your thoughts and when you do, drop me a message. I'll go back and rest for now."

Minerva returned to the room. Her trip took about

ten minutes.

She thought that Maddox would still be awake but when she returned to the room, he was already fast asleep, breathing steadily as he laid on the bed.

When she walked over to the bed, he did not notice it at all.

It seemed that he had been truly exhausted for the past few days.

After that, she went to take a bath and tiptoed to the bed. She was afraid of waking him up, so she laid down on the other side of the bed. After lying down for a while, she felt a pair of warm hands on her waist cuddling her before she could react.

Her heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to turn her head, she heard a low, hoarse voice.

"Don't you want to lay down nearer to me? What if you feel cold in the middle of the night just because you're sleeping so far away from me?"

"Weren't you asleep? How come..."

Was he pretending to be asleep? It couldn't be, his breathing was so steady and...

Maddox had indeed been asleep, but he was woken up by the sound of water from the bathroom. He was tired but after hearing the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, he felt aroused and he couldn't control his desires.

By the time Minerva got out of her bath, her body had a nice aroma, and her skin felt moisturized from the bath. He laid there with his eyes closed, hoping that she would lean over and sleep by his side. Who would have thought that this woman would lie down at the other end of the bed.
