Somewhere in her dazed state, Minerva could hear Maddox's voice. She struggled to open her eyes and looked at him. As expected, she vaguely saw Maddox's handsome face. However, at this moment, his handsome face was filled with anger and worry.

She looked at him with uncertainty. After a long while, she asked, "Maddox? You... Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to leave?"

As she spoke, even Minerva's breath was boiling hot.

Maddox suppressed the anger in his heart and placed his arm around her. Then, he entered the house and closed the door behind him.

Minerva was unhappy to see him come in. She pushed him away.

"What are you doing here? Get out!"

Maddox did not reply to her. Instead, he held her in his arms with a cold expression and walked in. Just by holding her like that, he could feel how warm her body was. "Get out, get out!" Minerva shouted.

"Stop it!" Maddox retorted. He lowered his head and looked at her with sharp eyes.

Minerva was stunned. She was probably shocked by the look in his eyes just then. She only came back to her senses after a long while. Then, she started to make a bigger fuss.

"Maddox, what gives you the right to do this? Didn't I ask you to leave? Why did you come back? Do you think that I will forgive what you did to me that time so long as you pursue me like this?"

Minerva shouted those words with all her might. After shouting, she got so tired that she started to pant. She had already lost all her strength.

However, she still wanted to push Maddox away.

Maddox was annoyed by her so he directly picked her up and walked inside.

Minerva continued to struggle in his embrace, but how could her strength match Maddox's? He carried her upstairs and then placed her on her large and soft bed.

Then, Maddox straightened up and looked around. After that, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

Initially, he wanted to soak a towel in cold water to cool Minerva down first. However, the moment he entered the bathroom, he saw Minerva's clothes that she wore from the night before in the laundry basket. A set of red lace lingerie was on the top of the laundry. Maddox could see it at first glance as he entered the bathroom.

Then... He suddenly felt his blood boiling.

He still remembered that he had unhooked that bra with his own hands the night before, and right then...

No, he couldn't think like that!

Maddox suddenly came to his senses. Minerva was having a fever; what was he thinking?

After coming to his senses, Maddox quickly wet the towel with cold water and wrung it dry. When he went out, he saw that Minerva had stood up. She was about to walk out of the room.

Maddox's expression changed. He went up to her and pulled her back.

"Where are you going?"

Minerva's mind was in a mess from her fever, so she said, "I do not want to be in the same room as you."

Maddox's expression immediately hardened when he heard that. He looked at her gloomily. Perhaps the fever was getting to her too much that she spoke so hurtfully. After a moment, he softened his voice and said, "Even if you want to leave, leave when your fever is gone, okay?"

Minerva turned her head and looked at him in confusion.

"You will let me go once my fever is gone?" She asked.

"Let's talk about it after you have recovered from the fever," Maddox replied.

Before she could react, Maddox pulled her to the bed again. After helping her lay down, he put the cool towel on her forehead.

Later, Maddox called and asked Sam to send a doctor immediately.

Sam was still eating at the company when Maddox called to give him instructions.

He suddenly felt that he was going to die from overworking. Maddox gave him a lot of orders in the past two days, and he had been fulfilling Maddox's orders with all his might too.

However, Maddox seemed to think that he was a robot as he kept giving him orders.

Sam was a little unhappy and protested directly, "Young Master Yardley, I came to the company early in the morning after handling the matter last night. I finally had time to sit down and have a meal after starving for a whole day. Can you let me finish my meal first?"

After hearing that, Maddox fell silent.

The line on the other end was dead silent.

Sam could almost feel the coldness coming through the phone. He took the phone away and looked at the name of the person who called on the screen; "Boss" was written on it. A wave of terror overwhelmed him.

Was there something wrong with him?

How could he say something like that to Maddox?

Sam placed the phone back to his ear; his hand was trembling. He adjusted his attitude and spoke again.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Yardley. Please forgive me for my idiotic outburst just now. I'll arrange for a doctor and send him over right away."

Click...

After making sure Sam had received his orders, Maddox hung up the phone.

On the other end, Sam heard the sound of the call ending and he clicked it shut with anger. He placed the mobile phone back into his pocket and looked at his unfinished meal. He so wanted to finish his food but he couldn't, so at last he just took a few more bites and left.

Fifteen minutes later, Sam brought the doctor to Minerva's house and rang the doorbell.

Maddox had a grave expression on his face when he opened the door. He asked pointedly, "Why were you so slow?"

Sam's face changed slightly and he said bitterly, "Sir, I came here as soon as possible."

Maddox pursed his lips and didn't complain anymore. He then turned around and brought Sam and the doctor upstairs.

Sam followed behind as he quietly observed the interior of the room.

Was this the house that Young Madam purchased with her own money? It was a duplex too. Moreover, the design and decoration of the house looked pretty good.

It seemed that over the past five years, Young Madam had indeed changed quite a bit.

After entering the room, the doctor immediately started to treat Minerva.

Before that, she still had the energy to bicker with Maddox. However, after Maddox's gentle coaxing and in addition to the fever she had, she fell asleep again.

The doctor first measured Minerva's temperature, then frowned and said, "Her fever is too high. I will give her an infusion right away. Her brain will be damaged if this goes on."

"Sorry to trouble you, doctor. Please try to save her," Sam said.

Maddox's face was dark the whole time. His arms were crossed in front of his chest as he leaned against the wall. When he saw the doctor prick a needle into Minerva's delicate white wrist, his heart jumped a little.

Minerva, who was asleep, probably felt the pain too. She frowned slightly but did not wake up.

Maddox felt distressed. He could not help but clear his throat and spoke.

"Be gentle."

The doctor was surprised for a moment, then he realized that Maddox was talking to him. The doctor laughed, "You sure love your girlfriend, young man, but an injection is like this. I can't be any more gentle. She still needs to get the infusion to recover."

Finally, he placed the infusion drip in Minerva. Maddox stood beside her and looked after her. Seeing that, Sam sent the doctor off.

"Doctor, how is Young Madam?" Sam asked.

"She will be fine once the fever goes

down," the doctor replied.
