Whatever, he should let her deal with it herself.

The woman he loved was definitely capable of handling her own matters.

Although he didn't want her to wear herself out, he knew Minerva could be very stubborn. If he were to force her, she would do the opposite of what he wanted.

Therefore, if Maddox wanted to help her ease her burden, he could only do it behind her back.

After getting into the car, Minerva put on her seatbelt and fell into silence.

Although she kept finding excuses for herself, she was still haunted by Sylvia's incident the entire afternoon.

One shouldn't make someone else suffer for their mistakes.

If the person involved had not been Sylvia, Minerva would have found the girl to be incredibly pitiful as it was not her debts but her father who had made the mistakes.

Although Sylvia was the one who had tricked the man into paying her debts but to her, there was no better solution. She could only make use of her own body.

The image of Sylvia getting tortured by multiple men flashed in Minerva's mind and she felt a headache at the back of her head.

All of a sudden, she had trouble breathing.

The car stopped at the side of the road then a hand reached out and covered her forehead. "Are you okay?"

The hand was wide and warm as if it had pulled her out of the darkness and back into the light.

Minerva suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his hand as hard as she could as if her life depended on it. "Maddox!"

She called out Maddox's name and turned to look at him.

He was looking at her worriedly. His dark eyes were filled with concern and anxiety, nothing else.

Minerva did not know what she was thinking at this moment. But she blurted out as if her brain was not in control of her mouth.
