Chapter 153
Maddox carried her out of the company...
Hearing this, Kimberly furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. Did Maddox send her to the hospital?
In the past few days, their relationship was on the rocks. He always looked at her with hatred and disgust. Why would he send her to the hospital?
Kimberly did not speak, but something bothered her.
It was a weird feeling.
Kimberly closed her eyes in despair. She was beginning to lose control of her emotions.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Kimberly's was pale and she was silent, Vera thought that she was uncomfortable again.
Kimberly shook her head and whispered, "I'm fine. What about the others?"
"They left." Vera held her cheek and said softly, "The doctor said that you will be fine. They just told me to stay here and take care of you before they left."
Kimberly smiled, "Well, thank you." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"What for? Do you think I'm here to help you? I am sorry to disappoint you then. I'm here to take a look at Young Master Yardley's elegant figure!" Vera began to recall as she spoke, "Do you know how cool he was when he took you from me? It was like he was a superhero from those Hollywood movies. Kimberly, you are lucky enough to be chosen by Young Master Yardley. Just look at yourself, do you think that you're better than me?"
Kimberly was speechless.
Did she say that Maddox took her from Vera?
Vera continued, "But to be honest, what's the relationship between you two? Why is he so anxious about you? If you are just one of his lovers, it doesn't make sense for him to care for you so much, right?"
Was Maddox anxious about her?
Kimberly shook her head, "You may be wrong. I don't have any special relationship with Young Master Yardley. I'm just an ordinary subordinate."
Vera was not convinced, "Humph, I don't believe it! His eyes were full of adoration when he looked at you. He cared for you. Maybe he likes you!"
Her words sent shock waves through Kimberly's heart.
Maddox... l-liked her?
That was impossible!
Kimberly felt her heart beating faster. Vera was still talking to herself, "You will be the president's wife in the future. Don't forget that I saved you today. Remember to help me get a promotion..."
Vera stayed in the hospital and took care of her until the evening. However, Kimberly was starting to feel bored and wanted to be discharged.
Vera held her down and said, "You can't leave the hospital. Your body is too weak." Kimberly frowned slightly and replied, "I should be fine now. It's not a big problem. I can't stay here forever!"
Vera was resolute in making her stay, "Stop. Young Master Yardley told me to keep an eye on you. You are not allowed to leave before he comes back."
Kimberly wanted to get off the bed, but suddenly, the door of the ward flung open.
Maddox appeared in the ward with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Young Master Yardley!" Vera jumped up the moment she saw him, like she had seen the savior. She pointed to Kimberly and said, "Kimberly wants to be discharged, but I didn't agree. I tried my best to stop her!"
Kimberly was at a loss of words upon hearing her.
Maddox stared at Kimberly with his icy gaze, the stare was sharp and deep.
"You want to be discharged?" he asked.
Kimberly was stunned for a while.
Maddox's thin lips opened slightly again, "In your dreams."
Kimberly retorted, "But I don't think there's anything wrong with me. Can't I rest at home instead?"
Maddox didn't say anything. Beside him, Sam smiled and waved at Vera, saying, "Thank you for your hard work today. You should go back to rest."
Vera uttered a dejected "Oh" and looked at Maddox reluctantly. She was still secretly admiring his stunning face and wanted to stay a little longer.
Maddox felt her intense loving gaze on him and glanced at her with his deep eyes, warning her to leave. Vera sensed his immense presence and immediately said, "I got it. I'll leave right away."
She then turned to Kimberly, "Kimberly, I will visit you again tomorrow!"
After that, she scurried away and disappeared out of sight.
Kimberly found the scene somewhat hilarious. Vera wanted to stay, but now she was hurrying away from the hospital. Kimberly really liked Vera's personality. The girl was straightforward and although her words were too direct and could sometimes be heart-wrenching, she would just let everything out without hiding any deep thoughts or put on a facade.
Kimberly found having Vera as a friend was pretty pleasant.
Sam coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to send her off."
He then turned around and left the ward.
He left Maddox and Kimberly alone in the ward.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Kimberly looked at Maddox, but he obviously didn't want to look at her. He pushed the wheelchair to the table next to him. Sam's briefcase was on the table.
He took out a laptop and some files with his slender fingers and began to work in the quiet ward.
Kimberly lay on the bed, speechless. Did he come here to work?
How long was he going to work? Kimberly wondered inwardly while staring at his back in a daze.
Suddenly, Kimberly thought about Benedict again.
Her hands unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
Sylvia was her good friend, and she would definitely not lie to her.
If the child really belonged to Benedict, what should Kimberly do in the future?
"If you're not feeling well, close your eyes and get some rest."
She suddenly heard Maddox's voice. Kimberly came to her senses and noticed that he was staring at her fiercely.
She looked into his eyes and paused for a moment. Then, she said, "You should go back."
Hearing this, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"It's not suitable for you to do work here," she explained.
She didn't want to see him for the time being. Her mind was in a mess.
However, Maddox sneered and said, "You're used to seeing other men's faces. Now, you don't even want to see mine?"
Kimberly's face fell instantly.
Here he goes again!
Maddox added, "Kimberly, do you believe that I can find that person and punish him now?"
"You've misunderstood!" Kimberly bit his lower lip and explained, "I just don't think this is an appropriate place for you to do your work."
"Is that so?" He put down the things in his hand and then rolled the wheelchair closer to her. Seeing this, Kimberly couldn't help but flinch.
Was he going to declare his sovereignty over her again?
Maddox arrived in front of her and pinched her chin with his slender fingers. He lowered his head and slammed his lips on hers forcefully.
Kimberly widened her eyes.
The kiss came without warning. Kimberly's teeth were pushed open, and she felt the soft tip of his tongue poking into her mouth, entangling with her tongue.
Her lips were a little dry, but his lips were wet and cold. Maddox kissed her hard, his hand pressing against the back of her head, and the overbearing masculinity covered Kimberly's petite figure.
Kimberly was forced to tilt her head up to meet his kiss. Her slender, white neck looked even longer and her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly. He could tell that she liked the kiss.
Maddox suddenly withdrew his mouth, but he was not in a hurry to retreat. He pressed his thin lips on hers and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Do you like me kissing you like this?"
Kimberly nodded in a daze. There was a hint of joy sparkling in his dark eyes. He lifted his thin lips slightly and used his big hand to touch every part of her body.
"What about me? Do you like me?" asked Maddox.
