Chapter 189


    Kimberly sniffled as she added, "I didn''t want to be here. I was drugged. You saw what happened."


    Maddox was confused by her unexpected behavior.


    He realized that she was trying to exin everything to him.


    After she had finished talking, Kimberly didn''t stay any longer. Instead, she walked past Maddox.


    Sam asked her hurriedly, "Miss Shell, where are you going?"


    Kimberly ignored him and continued forward.


    Benedict clenched his fists as he tried to stop himself from going after Kimberly.


    He held back because he knew Kimberly was too stubborn. If he went after her, all her efforts would


    be in vain.


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    The most bewildered ones were Agnes and Lydia.


    The two of them had witnessed Kimberly''s demotion. All along, they had been trying all kinds of


    tricks to frame her, but they never seeded. But now, they finally managed to make her so


    miserable.


    In the end... she turned out to be... Maddox''s wife! Kimberly was his wife!


    No one would have thought of this! They knew they were done for. Vera stood frozen as if someone


    had cast a spell on her.


    After a while, something came into her mind. Without saying a word, she ran out of the room after


    Kimberly.


    "Sam," uttered Maddox.


    Sam finally came to his senses. He then quickly pushed Maddox''s wheelchair towards where


    Kimberly had walked away and immediately caught up with her.


    Kimberly tried her very best to walk by supporting herself against the wall. She was seeing double.


    Her vision was blurry as she tried to keep herself standing.


    "Kimberly!"


    Vera sprinted towards her and held her up, asking worriedly, "Hey, are you okay?"


    "Vera?" When Kimberly heard her voice, she mumbled an apology, "I''m so sorry for tonight... I didn''t


    get to take photos for you."


    "We don''t have time for this." Vera grabbed her arm and was shocked. "You are burning. I can''t


    believe Lincoln dared to drug you. Let''s get you to the hospital right away, okay?"


    "Okay..." Kimberly nodded, shifting her weight onto Vera. Vera had juste from the pool, and her


    skin was cold andfortable to lean on.


    Kimberly felt a little better and she said, "Thank you."


    Vera could feel Kimberly''s rming body temperature. Although she was a little awkward, she felt


    distressed and replied, "No worries. Let''s


    ^ ^ ii


    go.


    "Wait a minute," someone suddenly said.


    After they had walked a short distance, Sam and Maddox caught up to them.


    Sam said, "Miss Shell, let me take you to the hospital."


    When Kimberly nced at them, she noticed that Maddox was still cold and expressionless. So,


    she ignored them.


    "Stop," Maddox finally opened his mouth andmanded.


    Kimberly simply kept walking, but Vera had to stop.


    She had no other choice, she couldn''t defy Maddox after all.


    Vera said helplessly, "Kimberly, let Young Master Yardley take you to the hospital!"


    "No." Kimberly shook her head and replied, "Let''s


    ^ ^ ii


    go.


    Sam then said, "Take a look at Vera. I''m afraid her outfit is a little too inappropriate for her to


    apany you to the hospital."


    Only then did Kimberly notice Vera was wearing a bikini. Indeed, it would be weird if Vera had


    shown up at the hospital like this.


    Vera was stunned and she quickly said, "Oh my, I was in such a hurry that I forgot my clothes! Give


    me a minute, I''ll be back soon!"


    After that, Vera shifted Kimberly away from her and hurried away. As soon as Kimberly lost her


    support, she could barely stand still. Although she leaned against the wall, her body still slid slowly


    towards the ground.


    Maddox pushed his wheelchair forward and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Let''s go to the hospital."


    Maddox''s hand felt cool as he held Kimberly''s burning wrist. Suddenly, his hand was thrown off.


    Kimberly was so p*ssed that she red at Maddox.


    "It''s none of your business," she said.


    Maddox frowned and stared at her unhappily.


    "What are you doing?" Maddox asked, still in a daze.


    Slowly, Kimberly slid down onto the ground. She no longer had the strength to support her own


    weight, and her eyelids were heavy.


    She repeated, "I said, it''s none of your business. You don''t believe my words anyway."


    He should just leave her here and let her die on her own.


    Maddox knitted his brows, adrenaline pulsing through his veins. Kimberly must not have realized


    just how seductive she was right now. Her eyes were half- closed, and her body was flushed.


    Besides, the ripped red dress she was wearing would make any man go crazy.


    "Get up." Maddox ordered coldly, "I''ll take you to the hospital."


    Kimberly ignored him still. Maddox then tried to drag her away, but Kimberly did not budge. With


    one big tug, he dragged her up forcefully, and Kimberly''s slender body fell straight into his arms.


    She resisted, "Keep your hands off me! Leave me alone. Vera will be here for me."


    "Sam, get the car." As soon as he barked out the order, Sam nodded and went to get their car over.


    Maddox held onto Kimberly''s waist with one hand and pushed his wheelchair forward with the other.


    He said, "You''d better listen to me, or I''ll take you back to the hall. Do you want people to see how


    dumb you look right now?"


    Kimberly''s pupils shrank and she seethed, "How dare you!"


    The next second, Maddox held the back of her head and pressed her face into his chest, saying,


    "Shut up."


    He sped up as he moved along the hallway. When Vera finally came back with her clothes, no one


    was there.


    She stood there, feeling confused and scratched her head.


    She muttered, "Maybe... Young Master Yardley brought her to the hospital."


    "Since... both of them are husband and wife, I guess I''ll let them be."


    Kimberly was forcefully flung into the car. Maddox held her burning body tightly. She couldn''t


    struggle anymore, and could barely move. The scent of Maddox''s cologne made Kimberly want to


    hold onto him even tighter.


    Kimberly knew that she did... have feelings for the man who was holding her.


    They had been spending time with each other day and night.


    Although he had a sharp tongue and his words were capable of destroying her dignity... He was


    indeed good towards her.


    No one had ever treated her so well.


    She didn''t expect to be moved by his actions. It was at that time, she started to have feelings for


    him.


    Love was blind, and love could sprout out of nowhere.

    The feeling was budding and flowering in the depths of her heart...


    And now, it was deeply rooted.


    "Boohoo..." After the car door was closed, Maddox suddenly heard a sobbing noise.


    He felt his heart ache as he looked down at Kimberly. He let go of her and lifted her chin, noticing


    that Kimberly was crying.


    He was instantly agitated.


    "What are you crying for?" he asked as he reached out his hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.


    The force he produced made the skin around her eyes turn red.
