Chapter 307

"Don't worry. He is receiving treatment in the intensive care unit."

Kimberly's face turned paler when she heard that Benedict was in the intensive care unit. She said,"What did you say? Intensive care unit? He..."

"He has pretty serious external injuries. So, he must receive treatment immediately."

'Serious external injuries?' Kimberly recalled that the truck hit the front part of the car and thebroken glasses splashed on Benedict's body. Thinking of that, Kimberly's face turned pale.

"Is he okay? Is his life in danger? Can I go and see him?" Kimberly asked. After that, she sat up onthe bed and lifted the quilt, ready to get out of bed.

The nurse quickly stopped her, "Are you alright? How could you get out of bed so soon? You'dbetter lie down and let us observe your condition for a little longer. Besides, do you know that youare pregnant? It's very dangerous to be in a coma for so long."

Kimberly shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

The nurse wanted to continue to persuade Kimberly. However, Kimberly had already gotten out ofbed. She stepped on the floor with her bare feet. She was still wearing that gown, and her hair wasin a mess. There were a few cuts on her arms and face which were caused by the glass shards.The wounds didn't look serious. The corner of her mouth was cut as well, leaving a blood-redwound on her pale lip.

"Let me treat your wounds first."

The nurse wanted to help Kimberly. However, Kimberly insisted, "I'm really fine. Can I go and seehow he is?"

Both of them were in the accident together. Benedict was seriously injured whereas Kimberly onlysuffered some slight injuries. Kimberly would be badly injured as well if Benedict didn't ask her tobend down in time.

The doctor examined Kimberly one more time and said to the nurse, "You can take her to see him."

"Okay. Come with me."

The nurse took Kimberly out of the ward and turned left. Kimberly followed behind the nurse quietly.All of a sudden, she thought of something and asked, "By the way, where are my belongings?"

"The scene has been controlled by the police. Your belongings should be over there. Don't worry.You can go to the police station to take your belongings when your condition is much more stable."novelbin

Upon hearing that, Kimberly nodded her head at ease.

"Thank you."

Soon, they arrived at the ward where Benedict was being treated. Kimberly saw Benedict lying onthe bed through the glass window. The sight of him lying there covered in blood was shocking. Hewas badly injured.

Kimberly was so scared that her heartbeat accelerated and her breathing rate increased as well.

"Don't look at it. There is nothing good to look at when they are treating the wounds. Also, you'repregnant now. You should try to calm yourself down," the nurse said. She could tell that Kimberlywas breathing faster. Then, she stood in front of Kimberly and blocked her sight, explaining, "Heshould be fine now. He had not fainted yet when we arrived. He insisted on asking us to examineyou first. Both of you are a couple, am I right? He really cares about you. He toughed it out althoughhe was badly injured. After that, he fainted when the doctor told him that you were fine."

Upon hearing that, Kimberly was a little shocked. She wanted to say something, but she couldn'tsay anything in the end.

What had she done...

Kimberly suddenly felt very regretful. If... it wasn't because of her being so anxious to rush to thebanquet, Benedict might not have driven so fast. She still had time. However, why did she alwaysfeel that she didn't have enough time? They were obviously going to reach very soon... However,she still asked him when they were going to arrive.

Benedict must be distracted because of Kimberly. He would have noticed the truck driving on thewrong path if he was not distracted. This tragedy would not have happened if Benedict had noticedthe truck.

"He... Will he..."

The nurse could sense that Kimberly was sad. Therefore, she comforted Kimberly softly, "He's fine.Don't worry,"

Kimberly sniffed and said softly, "Can I wait here until he wakes up?"

"Of course. But he's receiving treatments for the wounds. You can go in after they finish treating hiswounds."

"Okay," Kimberly responded. Then, the nurse supported her to sit down in the chair outside theward. Memories of the truck hitting the car kept on flashing across her mind. She thought of Maddoxwhen she saw the truck hitting them.

Would someone see the person who mattered most to them before they die?

Unfortunately, she had already missed the banquet.

Thinking of that, Kimberly lowered her head and closed her eyes.

Maddox would probably hate her very much. She had promised Maddox to go to the banquet.However, she did not show up.

After waiting for a long time, the nurse suddenly ran out and said to her, "Miss, your boyfriend hasregained his consciousness. He wants to see you."

Hearing that, Kimberly looked at the nurse immediately. She didn't care that the nursemisunderstood Benedict as her boyfriend anymore. It was a critical situation right then. She got upand asked, "He is awake now?"

"Yes, come with me."

Kimberly followed the nurse into the ward and saw Benedict, who was wide awake now. Kimberlywalked towards him. She bit her lower lip and couldn't help but call him, "Benedict!"

Benedict was stunned for a moment. After a while, he smiled helplessly and said, "It's good thatyou're fine."

Kimberly bit her lower lip so hard that it almost started bleeding. Benedict was badly injured, but hewas still thinking of Kimberly.

Kimberly became more guilty in an instant.

"I'm fine. But, Benedict, you..."

"Come over here," Benedict asked Kimberly to sit down at the bedside. He looked at the corner ofher mouth and saw a dark red wound there. Then, he noticed that there was a wound on her arm,he was heartbroken and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well."

Kimberly shook her head and said, "No. You've protected me well enough. It's me who got you intotrouble. Things like this would not have happened if you didn't give me a ride!"

"No, everything is destined to happen. I did what I wanted and I can't blame others. However, youare different. You still have a chance."

"What?" Kimberly was stunned. She looked at Benedict confusingly.

She didn't understand what he meant by saying she still had a chance.

Benedict's face was dreadfully pale, especially under the light, but even so, he still said to her,"Kimberly, the banquet is not over yet. You still have time. I'll pack up and send you there." Aftersaying that, Benedict was about to get out of bed. Seeing that, Kimberly got scared. She quickly gotup and said, "No! Benedict, you're seriously injured. You can't move now."

The nurse on the side was also frightened. She said immediately, "Yes! Sir, you are quite seriouslyinjured. You can't get out of bed now. You have to rest for two days!"

"I'm fine," Benedict said. Then, he got up stubbornly and wiped the blood on the corner of hismouth. He added, "It's just some superficial injuries. I can tough it out."
