Chapter 154


    Kimberly continued to nod her head in confusion.


    After nodding, she felt there was something amiss with his questions.


    Then, her eyesight became clearer and she slowly saw Maddox in front of her.


    What... did he just ask?


    Maddox got the two answers that he wanted. Even though he did not want to admit it, he was in a


    very good mood. His thin lips curved into a beautiful smile as he said, "Miss-Married-Twice, you are


    in love."


    Kimberly suddenly widened her eyes and pushed him away.


    She eximed, "Don''t talk nonsense!"


    Being pushed, Maddox fell back into his wheelchair.


    He smirked, "Oh, nonsense? You can''t hide your feelings, Miss-Married-Twice. You like me."


    Kimberly covered her ears and yelled angrily, "I don''t like you. Stop being so arrogant. How can I


    ever like someone like you?"


    Maddox pursed his lips, "Is that so? So, who was it that admitted just now that she liked me?"


    Kimberly retorted, "You were just taking advantage of the situation!"


    Maddox shrugged, "Was I taking? Or can you not control your own feelings? Or..."


    "Stop talking!" Kimberly blurted anxiously, "How can I like a disabled person like you?"


    The mischievous smile on Maddox''s face vanished instantly once he heard that. A dark current


    surged through his eyes like a violent storm, making huge waves in the ocean.


    Kimberly also felt that the surroundings became incredibly cold.


    She finally realized what she had said.


    She stammered anxiously, "Urn... What I just said, I did not..."


    Mean it.


    Maddox''s eyes were as dark as a ck-hole. There was a thick darkness in them, one that wouldn''t


    go away.


    He stared deadly at her.


    He uttered after a while, "Turns out, you are the same as the rest of them."


    Kimberly bit her lower lip and shook her head forcefully.


    She didn''t. She had never thought of hurting him.


    She had even tried to protect him when other people were teasing him. How could she possibly


    think of hurting him by saying he was disabled? However... his legs were disabled and he was


    sitting in a wheelchair.


    This was the one pain in his heart, but she had just blurted such hurtful words at him. Maddox


    continued, "Oh, Miss-Married-Twice, is that why you always didn''t want me to touch you?"


    "No!" Kimberly panicked as she understood that she had identally hurt him. She regretted saying


    that and wanted to exin everything to him, "Will you listen to my exnation? I was a little


    anxious just now, so I spoke without thinking."


    "This is the truth." Maddox said firmly with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Didn''t the Shell


    family ask you to marry on behalf of your sister? Do you feel wronged? After all, if you marry


    someone who is disabled, the rest of your life will be ruined. Is that why you want to run away with


    Big Brother for a better future?"


    Kimberly shook her head in denial. She was already very anxious and she tried again, "Maddox,


    don''t say that. I''ve never thought that before."


    Maddox remained sneering. He obviously did not believe her exnation.


    Ever since she said those words, his perspective towards Kimberly had changed.


    Usually, women always secretly despised him because he was bound to a wheelchair. Although


    they always approached him, it was obvious that they just wanted a piece of the Yardley family''s


    property. They couldn''t even hide the despise in their eyes.


    Kimberly was different. She would argue and get into fights just because someone had teased him.


    Then and there. Maddox had suddenly felt that... there was a chance that she was different from the


    others. But he didn''t expect that she would say those words herself on this day.


    His heart was confused. Maddox felt like the ward was suffocating him.


    He rolled the wheelchair away, a nk expression on his face.


    Behind him came the anxious cry of a woman. She sounded very nervous.


    "Maddox,e back. Please listen to me. What I said just now, it was unintentional!"


    Unintentional?


    Well, even if it was unintentional...


    It was what she thought in her heart.


    Otherwise, how could she blurt it out?


    Maddox made his decision and left the ward quickly. In the ward, Kimberly was gasping anxiously.


    She called Maddox''s name for a long time, but he ignored her.


    Kimberly lowered her eyes and stared at the white sheets in a daze.


    She regretted it.


    She shouldn''t have said that, but she didn''t know what was happening. When she saw his vicious


    smile, she knew that he was up to no good again.


    If he knew her thoughts, he would keep making fun of her.


    Kimberly didn''t want to beughed at any more, so... she said it out of impulse.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    That''s right, Kimberly finally could not restrain herself. She had fallen in love with him.


    For so many years, Maddox was the first person that could reach Kimberly''s heart.


    Of course, she had liked Jonathan before. But at that time, she thought Jonathan was good in all


    aspects and should be a caring husband, so she agreed to get married to him.


    But it turned out to be a in marriage. The conflicts only started when they were filing for divorce.


    However, ever since she married into the Yardley family, Maddox had done a lot of things for her.


    He had protected her from harm and would stand up to fight for her against others.


    Although she knew he did all that just to save his face... she still couldn''t control her emotions.


    Kimberlyy back on the quilt, desperate tears rolling down her cheeks.


    She was not qualified to be with him.


    She was a divorced woman with another man''s child in her belly.


    Even Kimberly despised herself for being so impure.


    But why couldn''t she control her feelings?


    Maddox didn''t show upter that night. He did not evene back the next day. She was left alone


    in the empty ward. Kimberly''s face and lips were very pale. The doctor came to check on her and


    asked about her family members.


    Kimberly didn''t say anything either. The doctor had no choice but to make a phone call. After a


    while, Vera came.


    "What''s going on? When I leftst night, you were still fine. Why did you suddenly..." Seeing her


    pale face, Vera was scared. She asked worriedly, "You didn''t get worse, did you?"


    "I''m fine." Kimberly shook her head and said, "Can I get discharged today? I don''t like staying in the


    hospital."


    It was immensely boring, and there was no one to keep herpany.


    She felt a strong sense of destion.


    More importantly, she wanted to exin to Maddox about what she had saidst night.


    Kimberly said, "Vera, can you apany me to sign the forms?"


    "But your body..." Vera asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"


    Kimberly assured her, "If there''s something wrong with me, I''ll tell you... Don''t worry."


    "Well... okay." Finally, Vera couldn''t refuse her pleas. She apanied Kimberly to go through the


    discharge formalities, and then they went their separate ways.


    Kimberly went straight back to the Yardley family. She knew that Maddox usually wouldn''t have


    gone to thepany yet around this hour. If she could find him, she could exin and tell him


    about her thoughts.
