Chapter 317


    A thousand voices sounded in Kimberly''s mind. "I''m pregnant with his child, but you''re pregnant with


    an illegitimate child. Do you think he would choose you over me?"


    "He doesn''t want to see you and you can never step into this door again. From now on, you will no


    longer be the Young Ma''dam. Please leave."


    "This is a divorce contract. If you sign it, we will cut ties with each other forever."


    "You''re married to the Yardley family. If Erica hadn''t given you this chance, would you have qualified


    to be the second mistress of the Yardley family? What''s wrong with me asking you to help me pay


    off some gambling debts? Isn''t it the right I have for raising you?"


    "Look at your ugly face. Do you think there''s any man who would like you? Your own husband didn''t


    even touch you for two years. Didn''t you figure out why?"


    "Get lost. Get out of my house and nevere back."


    "No, don''t do that..." Kimberly pleaded in her mind.


    All the memories from the past shed across her mind one by one, seizing the weakness in her


    heart and attacking her with full force.


    "Don''t... Don''t throw me out, please..." She pleaded again. Benedict, who was staying by Kimberly''s


    bed, had already heard her countless murmurs that evening. "Don''t, don''t send me away..." She


    cried repeatedly.


    Benedict sighed as he heard that. His eyes were full of grievance.


    Since he took Kimberly back to the hospital, she had a high fever, and it hadn''t subsided. As she


    was pregnant, she couldn''t take certain medicine, but only physical cooling.


    Benedict had stayed with her for a long time. After more than an hour, her fever didn''t get better but


    grew worse instead.


    The nurse had been taking care of her. At this time, she couldn''t help looking at Benedict and


    reminded him, "Sir, you have been staying here for more than an hour. Your body won''t be able to


    take it. You''d better go have some rest. I''ll be guarding her here."


    "I''m fine." Benedict pursed his thin lips and shook his head. "I can''t rest assured if her fever doesn''t


    get better."


    "I''ll be taking care of her. She will definitely be fine. It''s not a good idea for you to stay here like this.


    If you continue to stay here, your body will not be able to stand it."


    Benedict did not speak again. His gaze had not left Kimberly for even a moment. He had been


    changing the wet cloth for her and applying it to her forehead.


    The young nurse felt helpless. This man was too stubborn to listen to her. This duo was already


    injured and yet they ran out together. Furthermore, when they came back, both of them were


    soaked. The woman had a high fever and fainted, while the man''s wounds were infected. However,


    he did not want to have them treated. Instead, he had been calmly doing physical cooling for the


    woman, giving the nurse a headache.


    "Sir, don''t me me for saying something unpleasant. You''re covered in wounds from head to toe,


    and you''re drenched. If your wounds get infectedter, you''ll also get a high fever. When that


    happens, do you think you won''t infect her with your own sickness? Don''t forget she''s pregnant," the


    nurse said.


    Hearing what she said, Benedict paused. He seemed to be moved by her words.


    Seeing this, the nurse quickly advised, "Sir, please leave it to me. I will take good care of her. You


    should have your wounds taken care of first."


    Only then did Benedict nod his head and pass her the handkerchief.


    The nurse finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the patient she was assigned to. She would feel


    sorry if something really went wrong with him.


    Benedict didn''t go far. Both of them were in the same ward, and he was on the bed next to hers.


    The nurse found a doctor to treat his wounds, and she took care of Kimberly herself.


    Although someone had treated Benedict''s wounds, he still kept his eyes on Kimberly.


    "You should lie down and have a rest. You''re having a fever now." The doctor patted him on the


    shoulder and motioned for him to lie down.


    Benedict couldn''t be at ease and continued to stare at Kimberly. "If you don''t take your treatment


    seriously and fall illter, who will keep an eye on her? Therefore, you need to get well soon. You


    are in good health and will not faint as long as you receive proper treatment," the doctor added.


    Only then did Benedict ept the fact that he needed to rest.


    After all this, the doctor finally treated the wounds on Benedict''s body, and Kimberly''s fever also


    slowly subsided. However, she seemed to have been in a nightmare the whole while and kept on


    talking in her sleep. Her forehead was sweating profusely.


    Another nurse was assigned to the ward soon after. She got together with the first nurse who talked


    to Benedict earlier and left the room, chatting away as they left.


    "Oh my, this man is really affectionate and has great perseverance. He hasn''t fallen down even


    though he''s injured like that. Just how strong is his will? I couldn''t possibly bear it if it was me," the


    second nurse said.


    "Hey, you don''t understand. Some men can really give up their lives for their loved ones. The way


    he looked at that girl was so deep that I almost had a crush on him. Howe I can''t meet such a


    man? He''s so affectionate and handsome," answered the first nurse.


    "Well, let''s stop talking about this. If the head nurse hears us, we''ll be in trouble," the second nurse


    replied.


    "Ah, I wasn''t gossiping. I was just sighing."


    "Not even that. The head nurse will use you of having nothing to do. Let''s go."


    They walked away as they spoke.


    It was already early in the morning. The hospital corridor was still very quiet. In addition to the


    sound of medical equipment, there was only the sound of the patients'' breathing.


    Benedict was lying on his side on the bed, looking at Kimberly who was not far from him. She was


    in the bed opposite his.


    He was really tired after the eventful night. He felt extremely drowsy especially after taking all the


    medicine the doctor gave him and his eyelids were as heavy as lead.

    The moment he realized he was about to fall asleep, Benedict immediately forced opened his eyes.


    "No, I can''t sleep yet. Who will look after Kimberly if I fall asleep? What if she wakes up and runs


    away again?" He thought.


    It was still raining outside. She already had a high fever and her body couldn''t take any more


    injuries.


    "I''ll just force myself to stay awake for now," he thought.


    Benedict wanted to call his secretary Valeria, but his phone was out of power. He had no choice but


    to borrow a phone from the nurse when she came to check the room.


    Although it was early in the morning, Valeria rushed over as soon as she received his phone call.


    "Vice President Yardley, what is going on?" Valeria was shocked when she saw this scene. Both of


    them were still enjoying their meal in the restaurant when she went there to drop off some


    documents, and now they were both sick and injured over the course of just one night.


    "It''s quiteplicated. Anyway, I need your help now," Benedict said.


    Valeria nodded immediately. "Just tell me what to do. I''m here at your service."


    "I''m sorry. I know this is not your working hour but I really need your help now," Benedict


    apologized.
