Chapter 17
Maddox did not take it seriously at all. He thought she was just pretending to pass out. He sneered,
"Stop pretending to be pitiful. I won''t buy it."
However, Kimberly, who was lying on the ground did not move.
Maddox raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you done?"
Kimberly still didn''t move. Maddox narrowed his eyes and approached her.
Only then did he see that Kimberly''s face and lips were extremely pale.
Upon seeing this, Maddox''s heart ached.
Twenty minutester, in the corridor of the hospital.
Maddox sat in the wheelchair with a gloomy face. He looked at Sam Sorrento, who was busy the
whole time. Sam approached Maddox after he had settled everything.
"What''s wrong with her?" Maddox asked in an unpleasant tone.
Sam pursed his lip and said, "The doctor said that she was suffering from anemia. Also, she''s sick
now and her body is exhausted. That''s why she fainted."
Maddox raised his eyebrows after hearing what Sam said. Then, he sneered and said in disdain, "Is
she pretending to be pitiful? How could someone faint so easily?" Sam said, "Young Master Yardley,
Miss Shell''s face is really pale. Also, this is the diagnosis from the doctor."
Upon hearing this, Maddox looked at Sam coldly. Sam cleared his throat and said, "Well, there must
be some mistakes in the diagnosis. Young Master Yardley, what are you going to do next?"
Maddox remembered that he had not achieved his goal yet. Kimberly had vomited out the pill that
he had forced her to eat. Thinking about this, he said in a serious tone, "Please ask the doctor to
prepare for an operation."
''Hah! Do you think you can keep the baby by pretending to be sick? That''s impossible!'' Maddox
thought.
"What? Miss Shell has yet to abort the child?" Sam said in shock. Then, he nodded his head and
said immediately, "I''ll ask the doctor to prepare for it now."
Maddox wheeled himself into the ward quietly after Sam left.
Kimberly, who was petite, was lying on the bed. Both her hands were ced on her chest.
She looked like she was at ease. Apart from her pale face and lips, she did not look like she was ill.
Instead, it looked as if she had fallen asleep.
''She''s just a scheming woman. Why does she look so weak?'' Maddox thought.
Maddox moved his wheelchair closer to the bed.
He stared at her. His heart was filled withplicated emotions. ''She must be pretending, right?
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that she fainted at that time? Did she think that I will let
her keep this b*stard just by doing so?1 He thought.
Maddox forced himself to look away and pushed the wheelchair out of the ward.
A disgusting disinfectant smell wafted into Kimberly''s nose when she woke up. She opened her
eyes and realized that she was lying in the operating room.
Kimberly struggled to get up when she spotted the doctors holding the instruments. She pulled out
the infusion needle in her hand. Then, she pushed the nurses, who were standing beside her, and
ran out.
"Doctor Smith, the patient is running away!"
"Bring her back!"
Kimberly pushed the door open and saw that there were three bodyguards standing in front of the
operating room. It was obvious that they were there to prevent her from escaping.
"Let me go! I don''t want to undergo the operation!"
Sam said, "Miss Shell, please just be obedient. You''ll not suffer that much if you listen to us.
Otherwise..." Sam cast a meaningful look at the bodyguards before he finished his sentence. Then,
the bodyguards grabbed Kimberly firmly.
"You are all killers! I''m the only one who can decide whether I should get an abortion or not!"
Kimberly shouted. She tried to punch and kick the men in ck but to no avail. She screamed her
lungs out, "Let me go!" Kimberly looked as if she was a crazy person. She was emotionally
overwhelmed. Also, her body was weak. Therefore, she passed out again.
"Young Master Yardley, she... seems to have fainted again."
Maddox was watching her all the time. He sneered, "It''s useless to y the same trick for the
second time. Take her away!"
Sam nodded his head and instructed those people to take Kimberly back to the operating room.
Kimberly''s body was lifted up. Her long and soft hair was in a mess. Her cor tilted to one side,
revealing her snow-white shoulder.
Upon seeing this, Maddox was unhappy. He blurted out, "Let her go."
The bodyguards were shocked. ''Was Young Master Yardley the one who spoke just now?'' They
thought.
"Are you all deaf?"
Sam couldn''t understand the situation as well. He asked, "What''s wrong, Young Master Yardley?"
Maddox moved his wheelchair forward and held Kimberly, who was still unconscious. He reached
out his hand and buttoned her shirt. Her shirt had unbuttoned because she was struggling hard just
now.

After realizing what he had just done, he pulled his hand back.
He looked up and smiled evilly. He said, "No matter what, she is my woman. I will make you suffer if
any of you see what you shouldn''t see or touch what you shouldn''t touch." The men came back to
their senses and nodded their heads. They said, "Affirmative, Young Master Yardley."
Kimberly was in despair when she woke up again.
She realized that her limbs had been tied to the operating table. She struggled hard but it was futile.
The cold liquid was slowly dripping into Kimberly''s body via the injection tube. She shouted in a
hoarse voice, "Let me go! I don''t want to get an abortion!"
The nurse increased the infusion rate of the medicine and said, "Miss Shell, please sleep now. It''s
going to be over soon."
The anesthetic slowly took effect, as her consciousness wavered gradually.
She could feel her legs being separated before she passed out. A piece of cold medical equipment
was being inserted into her body. She gathered every ounce of her strength and shouted, "I hate
you, Maddox Yardley!" Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
The door of the operating theatre was being kicked open the moment she cked out...
