As the words were about to cout of her mouth, Maddox suddenly stood up. "You just woke up. I'll pour you a glass of water." Then, he got up and went to get swater.
Looking at his back, Minerva was stunned. She had almost told him, but he suddenly stood up and said that he was going to pour her swater.
Was it her illusion? She felt that he seemed to be avoiding it deliberately.
Up to this point, she lowered her eyes and pursed her pale lips tightly.
If he was avoiding it deliberately, did that mean that he already knew about it? That was right. This was a hospital. How could she hide it? A single word from the doctor, and the thing that she had been hiding for so long would be exposed.
Soon, Maddox poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Minerva took the cup and silently drank the warm water, but her mind was in a mess. She didn't know what to say.
Just then, Abigail knocked on the ward's door. She pushed the door and entered the ward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe saw this scene in the ward, she put the bag on the table and whispered, "Minerva, are you awake?" "Auntie." Maddox also turned around and greeted her. Then, he got up and gave the seat to her. Abigail sat down at the edge of the bed and looked back at him. "I'll go make a phone call." He probably knew that they had something to talk about, so he said this directly. He took out his cell phone, turned around, and went out of the ward. Abigail watched as Maddox left the ward. She got up and walked to the door. After making sure that he had left, she turned around and walked back to Minerva.
"Auntie!" Minerva placed the cup in her hand on the table beside her and called out to her anxiously, "Maddox, he..." "I know what you want to ask, and I'm thinking about it." Abigail saw her anxious face, so she went straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned. "Aunt, you too..." "Yes." Abigail nodded.
It turned out that Abigail was the sas her. They were not sure whether Maddox know or not? "What do you think in your heart? If you are going to test him, you should be ready to tell him everything and prepare to bear all the consequences. Have you... thought about all these?" Minerva lowered her eyes. "I... I didn't think that such a thing would happen before. It's too sudden." "Then you haven't thought about it yet. In fact, things are simple. There are only two possibilities. The first is that he may have heard about the news from the doctor, but he just didn't show it. As for what he will do, we don't know. However, you know Maddox's character better than me, so to that, I won't say much. The second is that he doesn't know this matter yet. You can continue to hide it, but no one knows how long you need to hide it for. Anyway, you should figure it out by yourself," Abigail analyzed.
The two of them fell into silence after they finished talking.
If Maddox had not suddenly gotten up to pour her swater, she might have let the matter out.
If she had told him just now, everything would be alright, but she didn't.
Therefore, if she was asked to tell him again, she might not have the courage.
Indeed, sthings had to be done as soon as they had been decided. However, after that time, it would be tough for her to gather her courage.
After finishing the call, Maddox cback with a bag in his hand. There were stoiletries that the servants had prepared.
Minerva watched him place things one by one. When he cover and saw that she had drunk half of the cup of water, he asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need a doctor to check on you?" Abigail was too embarrassed to stay here all the time. She stood up and said, "Since Minerva is fine, I'll go back first. Maddox, I'll entrust you with taking care of her." "Alright," he replied.
After Abigail left, there were only Minerva and Maddox left in the ward.
There was a strange silence in the ward. She felt that she should say something to ease the tense atmosphere. After thinking for a while, she looked up at him. "Well, that..." His eyelids twitched. He walked over and sat down by the bed. "Hm?" "Monica, she..." Back when they were in the hotel, she still remembered that she had made an agreement with Monica, but afterward, Monica seemed to have gone back on her word and pushed her down the stairs.
In the agreement between the two of them, Monica had violated the agreement. Thus... She should not have to keep those promises that she had made before. It's just that Minerva didn't know how she was doing.
"I'll hand this matter over to Geoffrey." Maddox briefly explained and stepped forward to cover her quilt. "You just need to have a good rest. Don't worry about these things. I won't let you suffer these inexplicable injuries in the future." After covering the quilt for her, he subconsciously stretched his hand to her cheeks and helped her to tuck her hair behind her ear. His movements were so gentle. She felt the warmth of his palm and subconsciously reached out her hand to grab hold of him. She then leaned her face against his palm.
His body stiffened. He looked at Minerva, who was closing her eyes, and the look in his eyes darkened.
He went to see the doctor again. He couldn't believe it, so he asked the doctor again.
The doctor told him with absolute certainty that Minerva was indeed pregnant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoreover, the baby was already three months old.
Three months old...
From the moment she appeared until now, they had only been together for slightly more than a month. Minerva suddenly felt as if her hand was empty. She opened her eyes and noticed that he had pulled her hand back. She was shocked. "What's wrong?" He said quietly, "My hand is a little cold, and it'll freeze you."
Because he had just gone out and had been holding something in his hand, the temperature of his hand was indeed not that high, but she did not mind at all. She shook her head. "I'm fine." "The doctor said that you should rest more and you should close your eyes and sleep quickly," he said.
He prepared the pillow for her, then let her lie down and covered her with the quilt.
Minerva felt that his behavior was strange, but there was nothing wrong with his eyes and expression. It seemed that he had always been like this. Perhaps she was thinking too much? Just as he was about to get up, Minerva suddenly grabbed his wrist. "What would you do if one day, you discover something you can't accept?" These words were obviously meant to sound him out.
After saying that, her heart began to beat fast. There was no rhythm at all.
At the stime, she was still looking at his eyes nervously. Shewanted to catch something from his eyes, but she saw a trace of doubt in his eyes. Then he squatted down and said, "Something unacceptable?" Then, he raised his eyebrows and curved his thin lips slightly. "What's unacceptable? Do you have another man?" Minerva didn't know how to respond.
"Or do you not loveanymore?"
