Minerva led the way while Geoffrey helped Maddox in.
The journey was short, but Maddox's reasoning had been completely consumed by the effect of the medication. He did not say anything the whole ride. Instead, he sat with his eyes closed and pursed his lips, trying his best to resist the urge that threatened to break out of his body.
After hearing the familiar voice, Maddox opened his eyes and saw Minerva walking in front. She looked to be in a hurry, but more importantly, she was only wearing pajamas.
Maddox frowned.
They reached the bathroom very quickly. As soon as Maddox entered, Geoffrey said, "Minerva, please stay out for a while." Minerva didn't know what had happened, but she believed that Geoffrey wouldn't hurt Maddox. Therefore, she obediently walked out and stood at the door of the bathroom.
The next moment, she saw Geoffrey turning on the shower and directed it at Maddox.
Minerva widened her eyes and stopped Geoffrey from continuing as soon as she saw that.
"What are you doing?" Geoffrey paused and looked at Minerva, who was standing at the door. Seeing that she was somewhat upset, he opened his mouth but didn't know how to explain to her. "Minerva, I..." Maddox, who had been silent all this while, looked up. His deep gaze fell on Minerva's slender body; he asked in a low voice, "Where's your coat?" "Huh?" Minerva did not understand why he would suddenly ask such a question. She lowered her head and looked at the pajamas she was wearing. Maddox continued, "Go wear a coat, don't catch a cold." As he was speaking, beads of cold sweat appeared on Maddox's forehead again. He looked to be in tremendous pain.
Minerva's nose felt a little sour, but she still listened to him and went to put on her jacket.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGeoffrey, who was standing off to the side, said sourly, "Well good for you, Sebastian, you're still caring about your woman wearing too little even when you're already in this state?" He was really speechless. Even though Maddox had been drugged and tormented the whole journey, Geoffrey thought he would explode any moment. But to his surprise, he still had the mood to ask Minerva to wear a coat so as not to catch a cold.
Geoffrey didn't receive any response so he looked at Maddox. This b*stard had closed his eyes again and pursed his thin lips tightly; he was still in a bad state.
Geoffrey began to doubt if the person who had spoken to Minerva just now was Sebastian.
"You're too biased. I took you all the way here but you wouldn't even look at me. You've hurt my feelings." Geoffrey said.
He couldn't help but complain.
Probably because he was too noisy, Maddox pursed his thin lips and said unhappily, "Are you done?" "Hmm?" Maddox continued, "Get out if you are." Geoffrey said, "Gosh, I really want to crack that skull of yours to see if there are only women in your head. How can you only think of her when I was the one who brought you back? I've just saved you from trouble and now you're going to throwaside before I'm even done helping you?" Just then, Minerva had already put on her coat and returned. She held her phone in her hand and stood at the bathroom door again.
"Geoffrey, what happened? What's wrong with him? Is he injured? Do I need to call an ambulance?" She asked. Looking at Minerva's anxious expression, Geoffrey felt that if he was still too embarrassed to explain, she might really call an ambulance. But how could he explain it? After thinking for a while, Geoffrey decided not to hide any longer since the situation had escalated to this. He should've just got straight to the point.
Thinking of this, Geoffrey looked at Minerva and said, "Well, Sebastian is actually..." Just then, a cold voice interrupted him.
"No need to call the ambulance. I'm fine." Upon hearing this, both of them looked at Maddox.
He raised his eyes with difficulty, and his gaze fell on Minerva's face, which was filled with worry and anxiety. "I'm fine," he said.
Geoffrey was speechless.
He called his bluff.
Judging from his appearance, the philter was potent. Only someone with great self-control like Sebastian hadn't lost his mind.
If it were someone else, they would probably already have...
But it seemed that Maddox didn't intend to tell Minerva. Why? Was he afraid of scaring her? Minerva's thoughts were similar to Geoffrey's; he looked to be in a bad state yet he still dared to say he was fine. What was he trying to hide from her? Minerva began to observe Maddox carefully.
From the moment he cin, she hadn't seen any wounds on his body; if he was injured, she would definitely smell blood; she didn't. Maddox also didn't intend to call an ambulance, so she speculated it wasn't superficial wounds.
If it was not that, then....
In combination with Maddox's reaction and Geoffrey's hesitancy to speak, Minerva had a hunch.
To confirm her guess, Minerva put down her phone; looked at Maddox, and said, "It's fine as long as you're soaked in cold water, right?" Her soft voice was like an ant crawling into Maddox's ears, making him almost unbearable.
Minerva saw the cold sweat on Maddox's forehead accumulated even more.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed exactly as she had guessed.
Maddox had been drugged.
"Minerva..." Geoffrey didn't know what to do with the showerhead in But he his hand. When he first cin, he n he wanted to use it on Maddox, didn't do it because of Minerva's intervention. Minerva raised her head and looked at Geoffrey's face. In a soft voice, she said, "Geoffrey, thank you for tonight. Why don't you go back first?" Geoffrey was silent.
After hearing Minerva's words, he subconsciously glanced at Maddox.
Maddox's eyes were still tightly shut; it seemed that his consciousness had been gnawed. There was only one thought left in his mind.
"Minerva, I..." Geoffrey wasn't sure if he should leave.
Minerva smiled faintly, "What's wrong?" He put back the showerhead, then shook his head and said, "Nothing. Since you said so, then... I'll go back first." He knew what she meant.
The reason Monica gave Maddox the drug was to take the opportunity to seduce him, wasn't it? But in the end, she failed.
Based on Sebastian and Minerva's relationship, there was no need for t him to do any unnecessary moves. Geoffrey thought to himself that Minerva was simply too smart. She understood even without his explanation. "Then... I'll go back first. Callif you need anything," Geoffrey said.
Minerva nodded and saw Geoffrey to the door. When the door was about to close, Geoffrey pressed it with a tangled expression and looked at Minerva seriously. X "Minerva, although I know that you've had a relationship with Sebastian in the past, the effect of this drug is very strong. You have to be careful." Minerva was speechless.
Even if she had been calm before, Minerva's face couldn't help but blush when she heard Geoffrey's serious warning.
