Chapter 64

After Maddox Yardley came in, Kimberly Shell began to feel nervous as she bit her lower lip. Afterall, they were talking about something that they shouldn't have been talking about. She didn't knowwhether he had heard their conversation.

If he had heard it, what should she do?

Did he hear their earlier conversation as well? At the thought of this, Kimberly's face turned a littlepale and she clenched the sheet in her hand.

After entering, Maddox looked around the ward and finally fixed his eyes on her.

"Why was the door locked?"

Hearing this, Kimberly suddenly became nervous and her face turned pale.

Maddox narrowed his eyes. He thought to himself, "Hmph, this woman is really stupid. She doesn'tknow how to hide anything at all. She just exposed herself with just one question."

Sylvia Hanover, who was standing by the door, heard this and quickly walked over to explain forKimberly, "Kimberly was just changing her clothes, so she locked the door. Is there any problemwith it?"

Maddox's cold eyes were still fixed on Kimberly, as if he was deciphering whether she was lying.

Kimberly didn't dare to look at him, so she could only lower her eyes. She had no choice. She wasfeeling too guilty.

Kimberly had a weakness. Whenever she felt guilty, she did not dare to look into someone else'seyes, otherwise... she would be exposed easily.

The ward seemed to be filled with an awkward atmosphere. As soon as Maddox came in, thetemperature dropped. Kimberly sat there like a prisoner and did not dare to move. Sylvia looked ather and felt sorry for her. She coughed softly and came forward.

"Emn... Kimberly has always been sensitive, and there is no one else here. For her safety, welocked the door. You would understand that right? Yo... Young Master Yardley?"

Sylvia stood in front of Kimberly and broke into Maddox's field of sight.

Maddox looked at the woman in front of him. Unlike Kimberly, she was wearing delicate makeupand famous branded clothes. Her figure was hot and she looked very energetic as well.

Kimberly, who was behind her, was wearing a light-colored hospital gown. Her face and lips werepale, and her hair was messy.

The stark contrast between them were obvious.

Maddox looked away and did not answer Sylvia's question. Instead, he looked at Kimberly andasked coldly, "Where's Auntie Cherry?"

Hearing this, Kimberly paused for a moment and then raised her head.

"Auntie Cherry... went back to rest."

Maddox frowned. "I have Sylvia to accompany me today, and I'm fine,

„ „ n

so...

It turned out that he was here to see Auntie Cherry. No wonder... how could he come to see her?

"Okay." Maddox lifted his chin a little, indicating to Sam that he wanted to leave. Sam was a littlespeechless. He put a bag on the table and said, "Assistant Shell, this is the toiletries that I haveprepared. I'll put it here. The doctor said that you have to stay in the hospital for two more days."

"Oh, thank you."

"If there's nothing else, Young Master Yardley and I will be going."

After that, Sam went to push Maddox away. After leaving the ward, Sam couldn't stand it anymore.He said directly, "Young Master Yardley, aren't we here to see her? Why are we leaving so soon?"

Hearing this, Maddox's eyes turned cold. "It's fine as long as she's alive. Do you want to stay here?"

Sam: "... But Young Master Yardley, your question earlier would probably make Assistant Shell thinkthat you are here for Auntie Cherry."

"Didn't I come for Auntie Cherry?"

Sam:"..."

"Forget it, as long as you are happy." he thought to himself.

In the ward.

After they had left, Sylvia sat down beside Kimberly. "I heard the subordinate calling you AssistantShell. What's the matter? According to your status in the Yardley family, shouldn't he be calling youYoung Madam?"

Hearing this, Kimberly smiled bitterly and said, "What were you thinking? I am not the real madamof the Yardley family. We were going to divorce anyway."

For some reason, Sylvia's heart was at ease at this moment. She smiled and said, "Yes, you bothwill get divorced in the future."

She knew that Kimberly had made an agreement with Maddox. After half a year, Kimberly wouldleave the Yardley family, and Maddox would be back to being single.

Somehow, Sylvia's depressed mood cleared at this moment.

Thinking of this, Sylvia held Kimberly's white wrist and whispered, "Don't worry, I will try my best tofind the father of the child for you and let your family reunite."

Kimberly paused for a moment. "Is this even considered as reunion?"

"I don't know what the other party is like. Sometimes I think... are we too hasty? What if the otherparty is a married man? Or, maybe he has some problems..."

After all, it was just a one-night stand.

How could they be true to each other under such a situation. In the darkness, they didn't even knowwhat kind of person the other party was.

"I don't think so. The other party should be a person with taste. As for whether the other party is amarried man or not, we would have to wait and see. You are pregnant anyway. Even if he is amarried man, you could still take him away!"

Hearing what she said, Kimberly's eyes couldn't help but widen. "Sylvia... What are you talkingabout?"

Sylvia curled her lips. "What's wrong? Am I wrong? You must be determined to get what you want.Do you want your baby to become a single- parent child?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

It was the first time that she had heard Sylvia said something like this. She couldn't accept it for amoment.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Sylvia saw her puzzled look and asked.

Kimberly bit his lower lip. "Sylvia, you do know why Jonathan divorced me, don't you?"

Hearing this, the smile on Sylvia's face gradually disappeared, and the look in her eyes wasreplaced with panic.

"I'm sorry, Kimberly, I wasn't thinking clearly just now. I didn't mean to ask you...to be a mistress. Ijust felt that it was the man's fault. He made you pregnant. If you find him, you should ask him to beresponsible for you and the baby. I didn't mean anything else, please don't be angry."

Kimberly couldn't say anything for a moment.

"Jonathan had always been a scum. Look, he obviously had a woman outside, but he told you thathe was impotent. He didn't touch you even after you both were married for such a long time. Lateron, his mistress got pregnant and he dumped you. You aren't the same as that mistress. Do youunderstand what I am saying?"

Kimberly nodded. "Yes."

"Kimberly, you have to believe me. I am on your side. All my thoughts are for your own good. If... Ihave said something wrong, please forgive me. Please don't be angry at me."

Kimberly saw her pitiful expression and realized that she might have taken things too seriously, soshe held her hand and said, "Well, I know you were just concerned for me, but you can't be sureabout the future. If he has a family, then let's just pretend that this never happened, okay?"

"Okay." Sylvia nodded. "I'll listen to you. Don't worry, I'll find the man for you!"novelbin
