Chapter 319


    Of course, Kimberly knew all the things Benedict did were out of his own will.


    However, he didn''t ask her if she was willing to ept it.


    "Of course, I don''t think Vice President Yardley will ask for anything in return for what he did for you.


    After all... he is a gentleman. Miss Shell, don''t feel pressured. He won''t force you," Valeria said.


    Kimberly was speechless.


    It was true she was being too cautious of him before, but she didn''t think of him that way throughout


    all the things that had happened.


    "I understand." She nodded and did not talk to Valeria anymore.


    Valeria conveyed her message and did not bother Kimberly any longer.


    When the nurse came to check on Kimberly afterward, she breathed a sigh of relief after she


    finished examining her.


    "You are really lucky. You were soaked in the rain for so long, and you had such a high fever. You


    even had a car ident before that, but your child was safe. This child is a lucky dog," the nurse


    said.


    "We all are worried about your condition, but it seems you are well now. As long as you have a good


    rest for the next two days, there should be no further problem," said the doctor who came with the


    nurse.


    "Thank you," Kimberly thanked him with a pale face. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "May I


    know, how is he doing?"


    The doctor was stunned and knew who she was referring to. He calmed down and said, "His


    condition is much worse than yours. He suffered more serious injuries than you in that car ident.


    Although they are all superficial injuries, those wounds cover arge area of his body. What''s more,


    he got caught in the rain and then didn''t allow us to treat his wounds. He insisted on hanging on to


    take care of you. That''s why he had a high fever."


    Hearing this, Kimberly''s face became paler. "So he..."


    "He''s alright now. Don''t worry. He''s physically strong, and he has a strong will. He should be waking


    up soon," the doctor assured her.


    Kimberly was slightly relieved, and then she thought of Maddox.


    One night had passed, and she still didn''t know what was going on with him. "I don''t know if he still


    mes me and whether he is still angry with me. Does he still refuse to see me?" She thought.


    However, Benedict was still not awake, so Kimberly did not leave and could only lie in the hospital


    bed.


    After the high fever, her limbs were weak and she felt very tired.


    At noon, Valeria asked her mother, Brenna, to make some soup and then personally served them to


    Kimberly. Valeria''s mother was a very kind woman. Seeing Kimberly''s condition, she kept telling her


    to take care of herself.


    Valeria could not help saying, "Mom, I just asked you to send me soup. Don''t be a busybody. It''s


    annoying."


    Brenna said with a smile, "I hope you don''t mind, youngdy. I''m just this kind of person. I felt like


    doting on you since you''re about the same age as my daughter."


    Kimberly felt warm in her heart, and she couldn''t help but smile and replied, "Sure, Auntie. Your


    soup is very delicious. I really appreciate it."


    Then she thought of her mother.


    It seemed that since a very young age, her mother gave all her care to her sister Erica. Kimberly


    used to be angry about it back then, feeling that her mother did not love her and fancied Erica more.


    However, when she grew up, she thought about it further. Both of them were the children of her


    mother, so how could a mother not love her own child? Erica was younger than her, so it was


    normal for her mother to dote on Erica a bit more.


    Kimberly had been numbing herself with this thought. In the end, she was also very nice to Erica.


    This thought had been deeply rooted in her mind.


    Until... her mother asked her to marry Maddox in Erica''s ce.


    Later on, her mother suddenly changed her attitude. She gave her savings to Erica and took


    300,000 dors from Benedict. When Kimberly went back, her mother didn''t ask her about the


    wounds on her body but asked her for money instead. For a moment, Kimberly doubted if she was


    the biological daughter of the Shell family.


    But if she was not the biological daughter of the Shell family, which family could she belong to?


    "If only it was my mother who came to see me when I was in the hospital," Kimberly thought; she


    couldn''t hide the sadness in her expressions.


    "What''s wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Brenna saw Kimberly''s expression had slightly


    changed and spoke, ming herself, "Sorry, I''ve always been so outspoken. I''m going to pack up


    and leave."


    Upon hearing this, Kimberly suddenly came to her sense and exined in a hurry, "Auntie, I just


    thought of my mother when I saw you, so... I suddenly miss her. I''m sorry for causing you to


    misunderstand."


    "Oh, I see. I thought I had said something annoying," Brenna gently replied.


    Valeria said helplessly, "Mom, it will really be annoying if you keep on nagging. You should go back.


    Our vice president is still resting. Mom, you are going to bother him with your loud voice."


    Brenna turned to look at Benedict and realized that her voice was a bit loud. She quickly covered


    her mouth and whispered, "I''m leaving."

    Valeria waved at her. "Go back quickly or Dad will be worried."


    Before leaving the ward, Brenna waved at Kimberly, who waved back at her, and then Kimberly


    watched her leave.


    After she left, Valeria sighed and said, "I''m sorry my mother has such a personality. She may have


    annoyed you."


    "It''s okay. Auntie is a very warm person. You must have grown up in a happy family," Kimberly


    replied softly.


    Valeria recalled the past and nodded, "Indeed, my mother is very easy going, and she is very


    enthusiastic with others. Sometimes, my father feels quite helpless because she is too enthusiastic


    and it makes people feel embarrassed. However, she doesn''t think so herself."


    Valeria couldn''t help butugh.


    Seeing her sincere smile, Kimberly''s heart filled with envy. If possible, she also wanted to live in


    such a happy family.


    In fact, Kimberly didn''t expect much. She just thought that since she had gotten married, it would be


    nice if her mother would ask her how she was doing and gave her a hug when she got home.


    But... she had none of those things.


    She could not have it even when it was such a simple wish.


    "Come on, eat up, or it''ll get cold." Valeria saw Kimberly seemed to be lost in thought, so she urged


    her, to prevent her from thinking too much.


    Kimberly came back to her senses and nodded.


    After they had finished their meals, they chatted for a while. Then, Benedict woke up. Kimberly was


    sleepy and had almost fallen asleep, however, when she heard the sound, she quickly looked


    towards Benedict. "Vice President, how are you feeling?” Valeria quickly stepped forward and


    inquired. Then she served him some food and water; she was very considerate.


    Benedict turned to look at Kimberly.
