"Just wait for a while. He will come to pick you up after a while."
"Did you ask him to come over?" Kimberly frowned at the thought of it. Subsequently, she went totake her bag and darted forward.
"Hey, what are you doing? It was he who wanted to pick you up and asked for my address. What'swrong with that?"
"I don't want to see him."
"I told him that you were injured and he seemed very nervous. Perhaps you should give him achance to explain!" Vera put her hands on Kimberly's shoulders and stared solemnly at her.
Kimberly looked back at her blankly and was tongue-tied.
She eventually waited at Vera's house. After ten minutes, the doorbell rang and Vera went to openthe door. Sam's voice could be heard from the living room, "Sorry to disturb you."
Then came the sound of wheels rolling. Kimberly could tell that Maddox was approaching withouteven looking.
Kimberly didn't want to see Maddox at all. She lowered her eyes.
She had cried not long ago and was feeling embarrassed about meeting him with her puffy eyes atthat moment.
"Were you injured?" Maddox came in frowning and saw her sitting there all curled up.
Kimberly did not say a word and refused to look up to him.
Vera and Sam stood by the door and kept a distance from them. She glanced at Sam and shruggedher shoulders.
Sam seemed to be really impressed with Vera. This girl knew how to act in such situations. She wassuitable to be Kimberly's best friend! "I'm asking you something."
When he came so near to Kimberly, she was startled at once.
She was taken aback for a moment. When Kimberly looked up, her eyes happened to meetMaddox's.
At this moment, Kimberly discovered that even though Maddox was sitting in a wheelchair, he wasstill a tall man. At that moment, his intense gaze fixed on her.
Even so, when Maddox saw her bloodshot eyes, his expression changed in an instant. He raisedhis hand and grabbed her chin. "You cried?"
His strong grip caused Kimberly pain and she unconsciously let out a moan. Maddox frowned andimmediately loosened his grip on her. Subsequently, he grabbed her waist and took her into hisarms.
"What are you doing?" Kimberly exclaimed, and she was already in Maddox's embrace before shecould come to her senses.
She shoved him away, feeling embarrassed in the presence of Vera. Nevertheless, Maddox kepthugging her tightly and pushed the wheel with one hand. "Come home with me."
Upon witnessing this scene, Vera and Sam rushed towards them and made way for them.
Kimberly kept struggling, trying hard to break free from Maddox, but to no avail. Although he carriedher in the wheelchair, it seemed that it didn't affect him at all.
Vera urged Sam, "Hurry up and go on."
"Thank you." Sam quickly followed them after thanking her.
After returning to Yardley's house, Kimberly jumped out of his arms as soon as she got out of thecar, telling him that she could go in on her own. Therefore, she went upstairs and returned to herroom in a hurry. Maddox felt that she had an unusual mood that day. Indeed, her bloodshot eyeswere tugging at his heartstrings.
He recalled the pair of earrings that he had chosen that day. He reached into his pocket and tookout the small box. He opened it and looked at the dazzling earrings inside it.
Sam pondered for a moment before finally stepping forward, stating, "Young Master Yardley, MissShell seems to be in a bad mood..."
"Shut up." Maddox reprimanded him, "I know what to do."
"Despite that, Young Master Yardley... If you don't take action now, I'm afraid that she will run awayand you will regret it."
Maddox was dumbstruck at the present moment.
"The truth will always be exposed one day. She will know about this sooner or later. Sylvia is hergood friend. Although Miss Shell is reserved, you ought to know her character more than me. Iknow she won't tolerate any of this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Maddox looked at him with his sharp gaze. Sam was so scaredthat he held his breath, and turned his head looking elsewhere, as if nothing had happened.
Maddox attempted to catch up to Kimberly and followed her into the room. Once they entered theroom, the room was rather stuffy as it had been filled up with his aura. Kimberly turned her backagainst him, trying to ignore him. On the other hand, Maddox persisted and refused to give in.
"Let me have a look at your wounds."
His tone sounded gentle, as if he had done something wrong and was coaxing her tenderly.
When Kimberly contemplated what happened between him and Sylvia, she couldn't resist feelingsad. She bit her lower lip tensely and didn't say a word.
Maddox went to take some ointment and a change of clothes for her. "Take off your clothes first. I'llapply the ointment on your wound, and you can change it later."
He handed the clothes to her, yet Kimberly refused to accept it, remaining motionless.
Maddox normally would have been furious if she totally ignored him. However, Kimberly was actingstrange recently which made Maddox take pity on her.
He placed the nightdress next to her and muttered softly, "Let's apply some medicine first, okay?"
She paid no attention to him at all.
Maddox thought of Sam's words. After a moment of silence, he reached out and took out a smallbox from his pocket and handed it to her.
"It's for you. Be a good girl, alright?"
Kimberly had been lowering her head the whole time. Unexpectedly, he presented her with thedelicate box. The shape of the box seemed very familiar to her, but it was definitely a different box.
At last, Kimberly reached out to take the box.
