Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 152

Benedict was puzzled. He was stunned for a while before he got out of the car and caught up with her.

"Erica?"

Benedict blocked her path and looked at her, confused. "What's wrong?"

Kimberly had an awful expression on her face as she said, "Brother Yardley, the company is not far. I can walk. Also, I don't need to go to the hospital. Thanks for today."

After that, she stepped away from Benedict and walked away.

Benedict didn't chase after her. He stood there and watched her walk away.

Kimberly walked for a long time. When she arrived at the company, there were not many people there. She went to the top of the building alone.

The documents on her table were still piled up, just like the day before. As she wanted to move the documents, she noticed that the ointment on her hand was inconveniencing her.

In the end, she could only arrange the documents with one hand. When the heat on her hand dissipated, she got up and went to the bathroom to wash the ointment off.

Fortunately, it was only a bowl of soup and her burn wound was not that serious. After just an hour, her hand was already much better. When Kimberly returned to work, she bumped into Maddox, who was just coming to work.

Just like the previous day, he was indifferent to her and did not even glance at her.

Sam pushed him into the office.

Kimberly returned to her seat and continued to sort out the documents. However, perhaps because she didn't rest well for the past two days, she soon fell asleep on her desk.

She didn't know how long she had slept. Suddenly, she felt someone poking her shoulder and calling her name.

"Kimberly, why are you still sleeping? It's break time now," Vera was poking her shoulder as she said. She had waited in the canteen downstairs for a long time and did not see Kimberly, so she came upstairs to find her.

Unexpectedly, she found her sleeping on the table. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Kimberly heard someone calling her name and opened her eyes slowly, "Vera?"

"Why are you sleeping here? Let's go down to eat. There will be no food left if we are late," Vera urged while pulling her up.

"Okay." Kimberly also wanted to eat so she allowed Vera to drag her up.

After taking two steps, dizziness overwhelmed her as her vision turned blurry and she collapsed.

Vera exclaimed anxiously, "Ah! What's wrong? Don't fall on me, don't fall on the ground either... Forget it, you'd better fall on me instead." Vera tugged her up with a strong force. Finally, Kimberly collapsed on Vera's body. Vera looked down at her speechlessly and realized that Kimberly's eyes were closed.

"Kimberly? Kimberly?" Vera called.

Seeing that Kimberly gave no response, Vera panicked, "Oh no, did you just faint? What's wrong with you? Am I supposed to take you to the hospital now?"

Vera looked around. There was nobody around to help, so she sighed helplessly.

She took Kimberly's hand and carried her on her back, and then she tried her best to walk forward.

When she arrived at the elevator, there was a sudden noise coming from behind her

It sounded like the office door had opened. Vera looked behind her and saw Sam pushing Maddox out of the office.

Their gazes met each other for a few seconds, Maddox saw Kimberly on her back and his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Vera remembered the rumors that were circulating in the company so she explained, "Young Master Yardley... I came to look for Kimberly to have lunch, but she suddenly fainted. I'm taking her to the hospital now."

Sam's eyes widened, "Fainted? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Vera coughed softly and replied, "I don't know, but her face is very pale, and her hands are very cold..."

As she spoke, she looked at Maddox like she was saying those for him to listen.

Sure enough, Maddox frowned a little more. After a while, he said indifferently, "Give her to me."

"What?" asked Vera.

Sam answered, "Young Master Yardley meant that he will take Assistant Shell to the hospital himself."

Vera finally realized what was going on. She slowly carried Kimberly forward. However, Maddox was too impatient and he rolled his wheelchair towards Vera. Before Vera could react, his big hand

was already on Kimberly's waist, pulling her towards him.

By the time Vera came to her senses, Kimberly was already in Maddox's arms.

Vera was stunned and looked at the scene in surprise.

Although Maddox was disabled and sitting in a wheelchair, he was cold and indifferent to everyone. He held Kimberly's delicate figure in his arms, and his actions clearly showed that he cared for her.

Vera blinked and thought of a phrase.

The soft could sometimes conquer the hard.

She asked again, "Young Master Yardley, so you will send Kimberly to the hospital?"

Maddox ignored her and didn't even glance at her. He straightaway left with Kimberly in his arms.

Sam was stunned for a few seconds and quickly followed up as he told Vera, "Thank you for your help. We will leave first."

After thinking for a while, Vera caught up with him before the elevator doors closed. She said, "Urn, can I follow you? I can help you if something comes up."

Sam looked at Maddox and asked for his opinion. Maddox's face was still impassive, but he did not object. Sam nodded and said to Vera, "Okay, come with us."

Vera followed them into the elevator excitedly.

She thought that Kimberly really did have a good relationship with Young Master Yardley.

Young Master Yardley obviously still cared for her, how sweet.

Who said that Kimberly was out of favor? He clearly looked distressed, wasn't he?

"Hehe, who knows, Kimberly might become the president's wife," Vera thought happily in her heart.

She didn't know how long she fainted, but Kimberly finally woke up. As she opened her eyes, she saw a white background, white walls, and white beds. The smell of disinfectant filled her nose. She frowned and couldn't help moving her hand.

"You're awake!" She heard a brisk female voice from her left. Kimberly turned her head and saw Vera's lovely face.

"Vera?" She asked in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, I'll pour you a glass of water." Vera quickly got up and poured her a glass of water, then fed it to her. After finishing the water, Kimberly asked aloud, "Why am I here?" Vera blinked mischievously and replied, "You passed out. The doctor said that your body is too weak and you're in poor health. You're on an IV drip now. And... Kimberly, you're malnourished. Do you not eat every day?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Vera suddenly leaned over and whispered, "What's the relationship between you and Young Master Yardley?"

Hearing this, Kimberly slightly frowned and asked back, "What's wrong?"

Vera snorted, "Just asking. The rumors clearly say that you're Young Master Yardley's lover. But Young Master Yardley has abandoned you recently, so everyone is gloating. But now, there clearly is a plot twist. Just now, Young Master Yardley carried you out of the company in front of everyone."
