Chapter 338

In the hotel room.

After taking a bath, Kimberly nestled in bed alone in a bath towel.

She only realized that she didn't bring any clothes when she finished showering.

Everything that happened that day caught her off guard, so she was very distracted the whole day.

For example, only after she took a shower did she realize that she didn't bring any clothes. Onlywhen she got hungry, did she remember that she had forgotten to eat. Only when she wanted tomake a phone call, did she find that her phone was out of battery.

She didn't bring a charger either.

Well, she wanted to be alone anyway.

Kimberly buried her head in her knees.

Ding-dong!

The doorbell suddenly rang, but Kimberly didn't move.

It was already late in the evening. Who could it be? Ding-dong!

The doorbell kept ringing, as if it would not stop until she opened the door.

Kimberly got out of bed barefooted. She sat on her bed for a few minutes before answering thedoor. When she opened the door, she saw several men standing outside.

She was still in a daze when she heard a cold voice.

"Turn around!" The voice said.

Before they could see what Kimberly was wearing, all the men quickly closed their eyes and turnedaround.

When Kimberly was still in shock, Quill had already looked away. He walked in, closed the door, andsaid coolly without looking at her, "You go back to the bathroom."

Kimberly was surprised. "Why are you here?"

Seeing that she was still motionless, Quill did not turn his head. He reached out and grabbed herwrist and pulled her into the bathroom. He then closed the door in a hurry.

Kimberly stayed in the bathroom with confusion. "What's going on?"

It was midnight and Quill had unexpectedly appeared in her hotel room.

After a while, Kimberly heard Quill's voice outside the bathroom, "Open the door."

Kimberly slowly reached out to open the door. She poked her head out and wanted to have a look,but Quill stuffed a bag into the bathroom and closed the door with a bang.

Kimberly found that it was a set of clothes in the bag.

She didn't expect him to do this.

Kimberly hesitated for a while before changing into the new clothes. She was still wondering if shewould have to wear her dirty clothes tomorrow, but now there were new clothes to change into.

After Kimberly changed and came out, Quill sat on the chair and stared at the table with a seriouslook; no one knew what he was thinking about.

Upon hearing her footsteps, Quill raised his head and looked at Kimberly.

At this time, Kimberly found that the room was filled with a lot of things, which were all prepared forher by Quill.

Quill stood up and walked towards her. He was about 185 cm tall and his aura was so strong that itwould make one have a hard time breathing.

Especially... After Juliette told Kimberly the truth, Kimberly now felt very awkward with Quill.

Was this person... her family member?

Her brother?

Kimberly had been used to being an older sister and never thought she would have an older brotherone day.

This was a strange feeling.

She couldn't get used to it.

"It's okay if you don't want to go home. You can stay here as long as you like. I booked this room foryou for a week and clothes have been prepared for you. Every day, someone will come and sendyou three meals on time. There is a charger and a mobile phone on the table. I have also brought alaptop for you. You can surf the Internet if you have nothing to do," Quill said. Kimberly stammered,"Mr. Hanover, you..."

She didn't think he would be so thoughtful.

For the first time in her life, she was actually being taken care of by a brother. It was such aheartwarming act.

"Don't call me that." Quill interrupted her and said in a deep voice, "Didn't Juliette make it clear toyou?"

Kimberly bit her lower lip speechlessly. It wasn't something she could accept immediately afterbeing clear of the situation.

"I know you can't accept this fact for the time being, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to call meQuill. However, just don't call me Mr. Hanover," Quill added.

"Then what should I call you?" Kimberly thought. She glanced at him and remained silent.

"Well, let's stop talking about this. Sit down and have some food," Quill said.

Kimberly followed him outside; on the table was some food that was easy to digest.

Quill pulled out the chair and said in a soft voice,novelbin

"Sit here."

Kimberly looked at him in hesitation, then she walked over and sat down. Later, Quill served heroatmeal and gave her a spoon, which made Kimberly embarrassed. She lowered her eyes anddidn't talk to him.

Then, Quill sat opposite her. She soon heard someone eating.

She quietly looked up to him. Indeed, she saw Quill eating on the opposite side of the table.

She felt very strange... She couldn't help biting her lips. "Don't you feel weird at all?"

"What?" Quill raised his head. "You mean... between us? Or your identity?"

"The news came too suddenly... How did you accept and get used to it so quickly?"

Quill curled his thin lips and smiled faintly upon hearing Kimberly's words. He continued, "Who saidthe news was sudden? Maybe for you, but not for me... this matter has been plaguing me for over20 years. Furthermore, I have been investigating your identity for a long time."

Remembering what Juliette said to her, Kimberly couldn't help but frown and ask, "From the day wemet at the airport?"

Quill nodded. "That's right. I already suspected it the first time I saw you."

"Didn't you worry that my mother was lying to you? I mean, everyone wants to get into the Hanoverfamily..." Kimberly said.

"Juliette told me that you've gone to the room. You should know, there are some things that can't befaked," Quill answered.

What he said was indeed reasonable. Kimberly pursed her lips and asked, "Then how are you goingto deal with... Sylvia?"

"She is not a Hanover." Quill took a deep breath and hissed, "She stole your identity and lurkedaround you for a long time and knew everything. Silly girl, why didn't you know about the things thateven she knew?"

Kimberly replied bitterly, "I don't know, either. I've never... doubted my identity."

So she didn't know how Sylvia knew about this, and she even managed to disguise herself and takeKimberly's place.

"You can even comfort yourself in that kind of family. No wonder you never doubted your ownidentity." Quill's eyes were full of distress when he said this. "Hurry up and eat. I heard from Juliettethat you were in a bad mood today. Have an early rest and I'll come back to see you tomorrow."

He said it so naturally as if they were already very close to each other.

However, Kimberly was still not used to it and wanted to refuse him, but when she looked up andsaw Quill's eyes full of care, she could not bear to do so.

After all... he had been looking for his sister for more than 20 years.
