Chapter 110

Even at that time, she was still worried about him, and not about herself.

A wise man once said that critical moments would reveal the deepest of hearts.

Last time, Chandler threw a chair at him. She thought he was in danger and rushed over to protecthim. If he hadn't dodge in time, the chair would have hit her.

If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now, Maddox felt horrible.

But, what about herself? What was she thinking when she threw herself at him, regardless of herown safety?

Thinking of this, Maddox shifted his gaze and stared at her.

Perhaps, she was different from what he had imagined.

The ward was quiet except for their breathing and heartbeats. Maddox closed the magazine and putit back into his bag gently. Then, he rolled the wheelchair towards the sleeping woman, Kimberly.

Kimberly had pronounced facial features, and her face was also a classic oval face. However, shewas not one who paid attention in dressing up nicely, hence her clothes always made her appearrustic. When she first came to the Yardley family, she was quite beautiful in the wedding dress.Later, as soon as she put on her own clothes, she began to look old and lacking youthful vigor.

She was a young woman, but she didn't know how to dress herself up.

It was impossible for such a woman to seduce him.

However... Maddox and she had...

Maddox's heart melted when he thought of how she had stooped and begged at him over and overagain last night. He could not help reaching out and brushing her hair from her forehead.

Sylvia received news from somewhere that something had happened to Kimberly. She immediatelyrushed to the hospital.

When she reached the hospital, she saw Maddox sitting in front of Kimberly's bed, his hand on herface. She looked through the glass door for a long time, but she couldn't comprehend what wasgoing on.

What was going on?

Maddox treated her...

"Miss Hanover?" Seeing Sylvia in a daze, Sam asked in confusion.

Sylvia came to herself and responded with a smile, "Hello, I heard that something happened toKimberly, so I came to see her."

Sam looked back into the ward, which was shrouded in pin-drop silence. He said in a low voice,"Miss Hanover, I know you're worried about Assistant Shell, but she's alright now. She's resting. Youmight disturb her if you go in now."

Hearing this, Sylvia looked disappointed, but after a while, she nodded and said, "Well, since she'sfine, I'm relieved. By the way, can you inform me when she wakes up? Or, can I wait here for her towake up?"

"This..." Sam was a little hesitant. He knew that Kimberly and Sylvia were close. He thought about itand nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go in and wait," Sylvia said.

After that, she pushed the door open and went in without waiting for Sam's reply.

Sam called, "Miss Hanover."

"Shh!" Sylvia gestured for him to keep quiet.

"I'll wait inside. Don't worry, I won't make any noise," Sylvia said.

She closed the door gently, then turned around and walked in quietly. She was about to say hello toMaddox, but the moment she looked up, she saw his cold and ruthless eyes.

Sylvia paused for a moment and explained in a whisper, "Hello, Young Master Yardley. I... came tosee Kimberly."

The expression on Maddox's face was indifferent. He replied in a cold voice, "She is resting. Pleasego out."

Sylvia was rendered speechless by his attitude. Sylvia's pretty face instantly became pale whenconfronted with Maddox's rude order. "I..."

Maddox's eyes were as deep as a pool. He didn't show a single shred of compassion for her.

But... she clearly saw that he had put his hand on Kimberly's face just moments ago. He looked likehe cared for her just now.

Did he fall for Kimberly?

As soon as this idea came into her mind, she suddenly felt unwell.

No way, they would get divorced in the future. How could Maddox fall in love with Kimberly? Sylviadid not go out as she was told, and she stood there with her eyes lowered and apologized, "I'msorry, I won't make a sound. I promise I won't disturb her."

Maddox pushed himself towards her side. "You have already disturbed her," he blamed.

Sylvia bit her lower lip and turned to look into Maddox's eyes.

His eyes were icy-cold, like a frozen lake. He looked at her indifferently. How was this possible?Although she was not really beautiful, she wasn't the worst person on Earth! How could he look ather like that? Sylvia felt uncomfortable. Her heart skipped a beat. She whispered, "I won't speakanymore."

She didn't want to leave no matter what.

Maddox did not say anything. His lips curled into a mocking smile. The deep sarcasm in his eyesstung Sylvia's eyes. She thought for a moment and turned to leave the ward in the end.

Sam had been looking around since just now. When he saw Sylvia finally came out, he breathed asigh of relief.

"I've told you that Assistant Shell is resting, but you didn't believe me," Sam said.

Sylvia sat down on a chair aside. She was very depressed. Sam thought that she was worriedabout Kimberly and comforted her kindly, "Miss Hanover, you don't have to worry so much.Assistant Shell is fine. The doctor has already checked on her."

"Okay," Sylvia nodded. She looked back at the ward and thought of what she saw. She couldn't helpasking Sam, "Is Young Master Yardley... treating Kimberly well?"

Hearing this, Sam was a little confused. Why would Sylvia ask such a question?

But on second thought, she was a good friend of Assistant Shell. She must be concerned aboutKimberly's life in the Yardley family.novelbin

Thinking of this, Sam answered immediately, "Of course, I've been with Young Master Yardley for somany years. It's the first time that I've seen Young Master Yardley treat a woman so well."

It was natural that he would say nice things about Maddox. Although it was a little exaggerated, hiswords were true.

The light in Sylvia's eyes disappeared. She lowered her eyes and asked, "Really?"

Maddox treated Kimberly very well? They... didn't they make a deal on the marriage?

Could it be... that they've really put on a false act? "Don't worry, Miss Hanover. I know you'reworried about Assistant Shell, but Young Master Yardley is really nice to her," Sam assured.

Although sometimes Maddox spoke harshly to Kimberly, he treated her very well from the bottom ofhis heart. Even Sam felt it.

"I see. Thank you." Sylvia got up and said, "I have to leave first."

"Okay," Sam responded.

Sylvia got into her car after leaving the hospital, but her hand tightened on the steering wheelunconsciously.

Why? Why was Maddox treating Kimberly so well? Wasn't this her second marriage? She was alsocarrying a child, right?
