Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 246

When Kimberly finally came back to her senses, she leaned against the glass cabinet next to her asshe tried to compose herself.

"I'm fine."

"But you don't look so good. Do you need me to call someone for you?"

Kimberly did not answer. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. After a long moment, sheraised her head and smiled at the sales assistant, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I'll beleaving now."

After that, Kimberly left the jewelry store under the worried gaze of the sales assistant.

After she left the store, she walked around aimlessly. She couldn't concentrate, and didn't focus onwhat was in front of her.

Before reaching the jewelry store, she tried to convince herself that Sylvia's earrings were the samebrand as the one in Maddox's

jacket. Otherwise, why would she be wearing them?

She was initially a little hesitant to find out the truth, but she decided to come anyway. After exitingthe store, she realized that she couldn't come to terms with this new revelation.

Maddox had to go to a meeting, so he entrusted Sam to take her home. However, he had left in themiddle of the meeting and did not come back the whole night. Today, Sylvia invited her out, and shewas wearing the pink earrings she initially thought Maddox had bought for her.

What did that mean?novelbin

Kimberly stopped.

It meant that they probably spent the night together. "Oh."

Kimberly, oh Kimberly. You stayed up and waited for him the entire night? You are such a fool.

And yet, she was so worried about Maddox and even called Sam.

Thinking about it now, this must be what Sam wanted to tell her. No wonder he was looking at herso guiltily!

She was the only one who had been kept in the dark!

"Liar." Kimberly cursed softly and stumbled forward. Bang!

She accidentally bumped into someone else.

"Can't you see where you are walking? Get out of my way before I kill you."

The person walked away and kept cursing. Kimberly did not even get the chance to see the personnor apologize.

She continued stumbling forward and accidentally bumped into another person after a few steps.However, she was more unlucky this time. She was knocked down and ended up on the cold hardfloor.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't you look where you're walking? What are you doing downthere? Are you trying to blackmail me?" The man said and left quickly, afraid that she was going toblame him.

She remained on the floor for a while. When she tried to get onto her feet, she realized that she hadno energy left.

Kimberly was so angry. It was such a small thing. Was it worth losing her mind over it?

Kimberly, after you divorced Jonathan, your parents forced you into a marriage that you didn't want,yet, you could still stand on your feet...

She mastered all her strength to get onto her own two feet when suddenly, she felt a pair of warmhands helping her up.

Through the shallow pool of tears in her eyes, she saw a tall, thin figure standing in front of her.

The man reached out and gently wiped the tears off her eyes. She was so touched by his gesturethat tears started rolling down her cheeks. When she was finally done crying, she realized who theman was.

Benedict looked at her with pity in his cold eyes. He gently wiped her tears away and sighedhelplessly.

"Silly girl. Even if you cry like this, he can't see you."

Kimberly then burst into tears again.

The tears seemed to keep flowing and showed no signs of stopping. At first, Benedict calmly wipedthem away for her, but the tears kept flowing, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Leave him." He silently placed his hand on the back of her head and pressed her onto his chest.He could feel her warm tears dampening his shirt.

"If it was me, I promise that I would never let you cry this hard alone. Kimberly, can you please giveme a chance? Just one."

Kimberly was pulled into his arms. The strange scent on his body made her a little resistant, but shegave in when she felt the warmth that he exuded. She was indeed a little tired and had no strengthleft. She did not have the strength to resist his warm hug.

People were coming and going in the street but Benedict held her in his arms. He didn't care aboutwhat other people thought.

After a while, Benedict realized that Kimberly wasn't resisting him anymore. He lowered his head tocheck on her and saw that her eyes were closed. It looked like she had passed out.

Benedict's face changed. He quickly picked her up and left the place.

Rumble...

The sound of thunder rang through the sky as rain poured down. Lightning struck, a brilliant shockof white in the grey sky.

After several continuous claps of thunder, Kimberly suddenly woke up. She looked around andrealized that she was laying on a hospital bed. She wasn't on the busy street anymore.

"You're awake?" She heard a warm voice. Kimberly looked in the direction of the voice and sawBenedict in front of her bed. He looked at her gently and asked, "Are you feeling alright? Is ituncomfortable anywhere?"

He reached out his hand and touched her forehead to check whether she had a fever.

It looked like he couldn't tell, so he bent down and placed his forehead against hers.

His warm breath hit her face without any warning. Kimberly saw his handsome features up close,and her pupils contracted.

When she wanted to push him away, Benedict had already stepped back. He raised his lips andsaid, "Fortunately, the fever is gone. I was nearly scared to death."

Kimberly's lips moved when she heard him. "I have a fever?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she noticed that her voice was low and hoarse.

Benedict smiled slightly and said nothing. He got up and poured her a glass of water. Then hehelped her sit up and said, "Here, have a glass of water first. After that, you can talk."

Her throat did feel a bit dry, so she did not refuse the glass of water. She got up and drank it quickly.

"Don't rush. Drink slowly, or you'll choke."

When she finished drinking the water, Benedict naturally took the glass, and reached out his otherhand to wipe her mouth dry.

The intimate gesture made Kimberly frown. She instinctively wanted to avoid his touch.

However, Benedict's movements were too fast. He retracted his hand even before she could pushhim away.

"You did have a fever, and it was very high. The doctor said that you had a cold. Kimberly, yourbody is too weak. You may need to stay in the hospital for a few days."

Kimberly's face changed a little when she heard that. Stay in the hospital? "No, I don't want to."

She didn't like staying in the hospital, and she didn't want to stay here for no reason.

When Benedict heard her refusing, he stared at her seriously and said, "You have to. Your body isvery weak, and... the doctor told me that you were pregnant."

Kimberly's jaw dropped when she heard him. She looked at him in astonishment.

All of a sudden, a riot of mixed emotions swelled up her mind, which almost suffocated her.
