Chapter 488

Maddox's hand movements paused. Then, he lifted his eyes and looked at her face. His thin lipscurled up slightly.

"It doesn't really matter. I've leaned on you all night so repaying you like this isn't going to troubleme much."

Minerva was speechless. She was frozen for a few seconds before shifting his hand away. "Thisisn't about how much it is going to trouble you but it is about your wound."

After saying that, she stood up and added, "See, my legs feel fine now and I can stand up. Youshould hurry up and sit properly."

When she was about to go to the bathroom, she was still limping a little. After all, her legs had justrecovered, so it was not a particularly smooth walk for her. However, Minerva still entered thebathroom under his gaze.

When she came out of the bathroom, she realised that there was another person in the ward. It wasSam.

Minerva was stunned for a moment after seeing him. She then took out a piece of tissue to dry herhands while walking over.

"Why are you here so early?" She asked very naturally. Even Sam could not react in time. He couldonly nod his head lightly.

"You should go back and have a rest today, then come back again in the evening," Maddox said ashe looked at Minerva.

Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped walking and her gaze fixated at his face. "Come back again inthe evening?"

Maddox pursed his thin lips and frowned slightly. "Why, you're not willing to?"

Minerva didn't answer.

How could she be unwilling to? She just thought that she had to take care of him 24 hours a day.She didn't expect that he would ask Sam to come over to cover her for a while.

At least he still had some conscience in him.

"Then I'll come back again in the evening and bring along some food for you. I'll go back and have arest first."

After all, she had sat in the chair all night and her whole body was sore. In addition to that, she stillhad to go back to the company to deal with some issues as well.

"Okay, I'll wait for you tonight."

When Minerva was about to leave, she heard Maddox's words. Somehow, it felt very ambiguous toher. She glanced at Sam and saw that he was also looking at her too.

Minerva's face turned warm and she quickly left the hospital.

Of course, when she left, she did not forget to take away the thermos that she had brought alongwith her the previous night.

After she left, Sam's face turned cold.

"Young Master Yardley, you were too impulsive this time. How are you going to explain yourself toAuntie Stark for getting injured so badly?"

Maddox said nonchalantly, "Who said I should explain it to her?" After Minerva left, hesubconsciously wanted to lay back down. However, as soon as his back touched the bed, he sat up

immediately because of the pain. He had been expressionless when she was there, but now hegritted his teeth and grimaced.

He acted differently from the previous night, where he could still complain to her while lying on hisback.

"If I don't tell Auntie Stark, what should I do if she asks?" Sam's face and eyes were a littledepressed. "Young Master Yardley, this is not just an ordinary injury, and Auntie Stark is a doctor...She would be able to recognize it at one glance. If she knows that you got injured in order to saveMiss Hanover, then she would definitely..."

"Why are you addressing her as Miss Hanover?" Maddox suddenly interrupted him and said with anunhappy frown, "Call her Young Madam."

Sam uttered, "Young Master Yardley."

"Why?" Maddox's thin lips curved into a cold smile as he said, "Is it that my words are not of muchimportance anymore now that I am injured?"

Sam immediately lowered his eyes and gloomily said, "That's not true, but... As Young MasterYardley's injuries are so serious. I think next time..."

"Is it now your turn to teach me what to do?" Before he could finish his words, Maddox interruptedhim coldly.

"Young Master Yardley, it's been five years already. You..."

"Get out." Maddox suddenly got angry and ordered.

Sam kept quiet.

He could only shut up about it and then leave the ward as instructed.

He didn't want Maddox and Minerva to repeat the same mistakes. He knew exactly what happenedfive years ago, better than anyone else. He also knew what Minerva was to Maddox.

However, at that moment, seeing how badly Maddox was injured, Sam still felt sorry for him.

That's right, although he felt that Minerva was not bad for him...

But Maddox had been his superior for so long and he already treated him like his brother.

He was already hurt so badly this time. If anything happened again the next time, would YoungMaster Yardley put his life on the line again?

No one could be sure.

Alas...

Sam couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Then he took out his mobile phone but then resisted theimpulse to call Auntie Stark.

In the company...

Although Minerva's body was aching, she did not go home right away. Instead, she went back to thecompany to check things out.

All the employees in the company had heard about what had happened the day before. Althoughthere was no one at the scene at the time, Kelly had asked Vera about the situation and had wentback to inform everyone else. Upon hearing this, everyone was worried about their immediatesuperior.

Therefore, when Minerva arrived at the company, she was instantly surrounded by a group ofpeople.

"Miss Minerva, I heard that someone had come to the office and caused trouble yesterday. Are youalright? Why didn't you call us? We have a lot of people on our end. We wouldn't have let themharm you."

"Yes, those people were arrogant. They bullied you because you were the minority."

Minerva looked at the designers surrounding her and she felt quite surprised.

Previously, most of them had repulsed against her, but now... They were standing in front of her andcaring about her.

She felt warm in her heart. She smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine. The matter has already beendealt with and is almost settled."

"What else do you need us to help with? I heard that the troublemakers were our clients. Whatactually happened?"

"Hey!" Kelly stood up in the middle, with her arms crossed in front of her chest and saiddiscontentedly, "I told you guys not to start gossip, okay? Can't you see that Minerva isn't feelingwell?

Everyone go back to your desks now and leave Minerva alone for a while.¹' "Kelly, we are justconcerned for Miss Minerva. What do you mean by saying that? Do you want to keep Miss Minervaall to yourself?"

"F**k!" Kelly looked at Yasmine in disbelief. "You're such a toxic person, aren't you? She's a womanand I'm also a woman too. Why would I keep her for myself?"

Upon seeing this, Minerva, who stayed in the hospital for a whole night, only felt her head hurt evenmore.novelbin

"All of you, stop arguing. I just want to rest for a while."

After saying that, Minerva turned around and walked towards the elevator.

The others glanced at each other and returned to their own desks.

Kelly, who was standing on the spot, was stunned. She thought for a while and then quickly followedafter Minerva. Since she witnessed the thing between her and Maddox at the press conference,Kelly felt that she was much closer to her.

Furthermore, as such an outstanding person, Kelly had admired her.

Kelly certainly would not let go of the opportunity to get to know her idol.

"Minerva, wait for me." Kelly quickly caught up with Minerva and entered the elevator with her.

Minerva moved to the side to give her some space. Kelly smiled with satisfaction and said, "By theway, Minerva, you weren't injured from yesterday, were you?"
