As soon as she finished speaking, Minerva immediately ran out of the ward.

Maddox laid in bed and was waiting to drink some water. He was speechless and had no idea what's going on.

After a brief moment, the doctor came. He was surprised to see Maddox awake. He performed a check-up on Maddox and ensured he was alright before he left.

As soon as the doctor left, Minerva poured a cup of warm water for Maddox and helped him up.

"Have some water," Minerva said.

Maddox did not move; he stared at her motionlessly.

His gaze was intense, and Minerva felt awkward. "What... what's wrong?" Minerva uttered.

Maddox pursed his lips and wanted to argue with her. However, his voice cracked when he spoke. His eyebrows tightened and had no choice but to grab the cup of water. He took a few sips of water to soothe his throat.

At this moment, Minerva took out her phone to send some messages to everyone.

She wanted to tell them that Maddox was awake.

For convenience's sake, Minerva made a group chat and sent the news there.

As soon as she was done with the message, Maddox quickly snatched her phone just as she was about to make a post on her profile.

"I just woke up, and you choose to look at your phone instead of me?" He questioned.

Minerva raised her head in shock. She lightly bit her lower lip and shook her head.

"That's not it. Everyone has been worried sick ever since you've been in a coma. Now that you're awake, I have to inform everyone." Minerva explained.

"Well, you're done with it," Maddox said as he put her phone under his pillow. He obviously didn't want Minerva to touch her phone again.

Minerva didn't know what he meant. She thought for a while and took that he didn't want her to be on her phone. So, she didn't insist.

"The doctor just did a check-up on you. Are you feeling any discomfort at the moment? Or do you want to have some more water? Are you hungry? How about I call for some..." Minerva anxiously asked. She asked one question after another. All of them were concerns for Maddox.

He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Minerva looked up at him as she fell into his embrace.

"What are you doing?" Minerva asked.

Maddox held her chin. A dangerous aura emanated from his eyes.

"Who was the one who just said that she didn't want me anymore?" Maddox asked.

Minerva blinked her eyes and looked at him helplessly.

It was the third time he had asked this. She could tell that he was really bothered by it. She failed to avoid the topic after being asked twice earlier, perhaps he wasn't going to let her off the hook this time either. "Hmm?" Maddox sounded.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Maddox asked again. This time, his tone deepened even more. It was as if he wouldn't let her go until he got an answer.

"Alright, I did. But it was only to see if I could get some reaction from you. Why did you have to remain in a coma? As soon as I said that, you woke up. Isn't it great?" Minerva explained.

Maddox narrowed his eyes warningly. "Great?"

"What I'm trying to say is that it's great that you're awake now. What I said earlier... was only to get you to wake up. If I really didn't want you anymore, would I still be here by your side?" Minerva explained. Maddox was stunned as soon as he heard her explanation.

That was true. How could she not want him anymore?

Even in the past, when he got into an accident and disappeared from the face of Earth, she didn't even know if he was still alive. However, as soon as she found him and realized that he'd lost his memory, she survived through all of that alone.

At the thought of this, Maddox slowly approached her and breathed some warm air onto her face.

Minerva's eyes subconsciously widened when she saw him lean close towards her. She immediately pushed him away and said in an urgent tone.

"You're a patient who had just woken up from a coma. You shouldn't act recklessly!" Minerva urged.

As soon as she finished her words, Maddox bent down and hugged her. Minerva was stunned and felt his hand tighten around her waist. However, he suddenly let go of her waist as if he'd remembered something. At that moment, he gently held her waist.

"Even if you don't want me anymore, I won't let you leave me. You'll forever be mine in this life." Maddox assured.

Maddox spoke in a tone of seriousness. Minerva moved her lips and wanted to say something. However, she felt that it was best not to say anything at all. The corner of her lips lifted into a smile. They embraced each other in silence in the ward and enjoyed their time of serenity.

However, at that moment, a phone suddenly rang.

Both of them paused for a moment. It was the phone Maddox had placed under the pillow.

Before Maddox even had enough of hugging his wife, the call disturbed them. He frowned and placed the

phone in silent mode. After that, he placed it back under his pillow and continued to hug his wife.

Minerva was speechless.

"Are you sure it's okay that I don't pick up the call?" Minerva reminded in a soft tone.

"What's the big deal? Didn't you inform them that I was awake?" Maddox said in a low voice. "You've already informed them once, and it's enough."

What he said was reasonable, and she didn't have a reason to argue.

Abigail was the first to arrive at the hospital. It was also the first time she called Minerva. However, Abigail grew anxious after her multiple calls to Minerva were not answered. Hadn't Maddox just woken up from his coma? Why wasn't she answering her phone?

Therefore, she instantly left Jarold and rushed to the hospital.

In the end, as soon as she pushed the door of the ward open, she saw the couple hugging each other. The scene was serene and beautiful. Was the reason she didn't pickup her, calls because they were hugging the entire time?

Abigail felt as if she was being blinded by their love.

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you guys done hugging?" Abigail intruded.

Although Abigail knew that she shouldn't have disturbed their alone time, she still knocked on the door to check on them.

In actuality, Maddox knew that Abigail had arrived. However, he shamelessly ignored her.

As soon as Minerva heard Abigail's voice, she was shocked and instantly pushed Maddox away. She turned to look at Abigail with a blushed face.

"Auntie Stark..." Minerva anxiously spoke.

Abigail slowly walked over in her high heels.

"How are you feeling after just waking up from a coma?" Abigail asked.

Maddox glanced at Abigail and withdrew his gaze. He looked at Minerva and fixed his gaze on her.

Abigail couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sight of it.

"I say, you just woke up, and you're already clinging to each other," Abigail added.

Although he was very upset to be interrupted, Abigail was still his elder. Moreover, Minerva was flustered by her sudden appearance. Maddox put on a serious look and spoke. "Nothing's serious. I can be discharged from the hospital today," Maddox explained.

"Discharged? Are you joking? You've been in a coma for days and you want to leave the hospital today? What if something else happens?" Abigail yelled.

These words made Maddox frown even more. He obviously didn't want to stay in the hospital as he didn't feel comfortable here. Additionally, he had been lying in bed for so many days. Minerva spoke just at the right moment.

"How about we consult the doctor later? If the doctor agrees for Maddox to be discharged, then we'll leave the hospital for now and come back for follow-up appointments," Minerva explained. Since Maddox disliked staying here, she would try her best to satisfy him. After all, he was a patient for now.

Minerva worried about what might happen to him again in the future.

What if he passed out again?
