Chapter 65

Kimberly Shell didn't stay in the hospital for long. After the doctor came and gave her a check-upand when Kimberly was sure that she was fine, she requested to be discharged from the hospital.

The doctor frowned and said, "My suggestion for you is to stay in the hospital for another two daysfor further observation. After all, your physical constitution is very poor."

"Doctor, I'm really fine. Could I leave the hospital today?"

After seeing Kimberly's persistence, and making sure that she was fine, the doctor finally agreed todischarge her. He also advised her not to drink again in the future.

Kimberly left the hospital on her own. She borrowed some money from Sylvia Hanover andpromised to pay her back in the future. Sylvia knew about her condition so she quickly gave hersome money. She had also asked Kimberly not to pay her back.

Although Sylvia had said so, Kimberly would not take her money and not pay it back. Sheremembered how much it was. She intended to pay her back once she got her salary.

After leaving the hospital, Kimberly returned home and packed up. Then she bought two sets ofnew clothes for herself with the remaining money from the hospital expenses and changed intothem before going to work. When she arrived at the company, Kimberly checked the time. Althoughshe was late, she sat down on her own desk and began to work.

She hadn't finished organizing the documents from before.

Kimberly had been sorting them out for about half an hour when Sam Sorrento walked out of theelevator expressionlessly. He passed by Kimberly's desk and walked straight on. Then he suddenlyretreated and went back to look through Kimberly's door.

"Assistant Shell?" Were his eyes deceiving him? Wasn't she still in the hospital? How could shesuddenly appear in the company?

Sam rubbed his eyes.

Kimberly did not look up. She stared at the documents in her hand intently and responded with ahum.

Sam: "...Assistant Shell, why are you here?"

Her reaction was a little too unenthusiastic, wasn't it?

Kimberly said, "Well, this is my job. Is there anything strange about me being here?"

"I mean... Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?"

"I was already discharged from the hospital."

"You're going in to look for Young Master Yardley, aren't you? By the way, could you help me sendthis in? I'm quite busy at the moment."

After that, Kimberly handed the sorted documents to Sam. He reached out to take it and nodded hishead.

After entering the office, Sam reported his work progress and handed over Kimberly's documents toMaddox.

"Young Master Yardley, these are the documents that Assistant Shell had asked me to send over."

Hearing what he said, Maddox raised his head. "What did you just say?"

"It's strange, isn't it? Assistant Shell should still be in the hospital. But when I was on my way here, Isaw her at her desk. Young Master Yardley, if there's nothing else, I shall excuse myself to go now."

After Sam left, Maddox tightened his grip on the pen as he frowned.

Shouldn't that d*mn woman be in the hospital? Why did she come out?

Thinking of this, Maddox put down the pen in his hand and wheeled himself to the door.

Kimberly had just typed the last sentence of a document. She then saved the document and printedit. When she stood up, she heard a cold voice.

"Why are you discharged from the hospital?"

Listening to his words, Kimberly stood up and looked at the source of the voice.

Maddox sat there and looked at her calmly.

Looking into his deep eyes, Kimberly paused and then explained, "There's nothing serious aboutmy body, so I got discharged." "Nothing serious?" Maddox narrowed his eyes and his gaze turnedsharp. "Didn't the doctor ask you to stay in the hospital and to be observed for two more days?Have you hurt your brain and couldn't understand the doctor's words?"

Kimberly bit her lower lip and clenched her fists. "Young Master Yardley, must you say such harshwords? I was discharged from the hospital after getting permission from the doctor. Since the doctorhas agreed, that meant that I am perfectly fine."

Maddox pursed his thin lips and sneered.

"That's right. A scheming woman like you had probably pretended to be sick. After all, how couldyou allow yourself to get into trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Maddox directly turned around to leave, sitting in his wheelchairand regardless of Kimberly's reaction.

His words made her angry, but there was something in her heart that dragged her. She clenchedher fists and chased after him.

"Since you thought that I had pretended to be sick, why did you send me to the hospital? MaddoxYardley, why do you keep doing things that are against your own words?"

Maddox paused and turned his eyes to the side. His voice was as cold as hell.

"Stay away from me next time. If you want to get sick next time, do it somewhere far away from me.Don't do it at the entrance of the company. That way, I wouldn't even have to look at you."

Kimberly didn't know what to say. She accidentally bit her lower lip.

Maddox left after that. Kimberly was furious and her shoulders was trembling.

She lowered her eyes and looked like a deflated ball.

Forget it. She knew what kind of person Maddox was. She shouldn't expect anything from him in thefuture.

Kimberly calmly reached out her hand to get the printed documents. She then stapled them and putthem in a folder.

When she was about to get off work, Sylvia called and said that she had prepared chicken broth forher. She wanted to come over to visit her. Sylvia also asked if Kimberly could go to the lobby andbring her upstairs.

Kimberly felt that Sylvia was really attentive. She thought that it would not be a problem for her tocome upstairs since it would be after office hours. Hence, she got off the elevator and took Sylvia toher office.

"I had never thought that one day I would have the chance to enter Yardley Corporation."

"What's so good about coming here?"

"Yardley Corporation is the biggest company in North City. Ordinary people don't even stand achance to come here. Even my brother may not have the opportunity to come here. After all, hiscompany has nothing in common with Yardley Corporation, hence the opportunity of a collaborationhappening between them is slim. But today, thanks to you, I actually got to enter this place." Sylviaheld her arm and said happily.

"By the way, this is the chicken broth that I had asked our chef to cook for you. She told me that it'sbest for pregnant women, and there are a lot of nutritious ingredients in it. Although I cannotdifferentiate them, she is an experienced woman, so she must be right."

After that, Sylvia opened the thermos and poured the soup into a bowl.

Suddenly, the aroma of chicken broth filled the air. Kimberly was tempted by the smell of good food,so she took a few sips of the broth.novelbin

"Thank you, Sylvia."

"You don't have to be so polite. We are friends. By the way... Where is Young Master Yardley'soffice?" Sylvia rubbed her hands and said with a smile, "Could I go and have a look at it?"

Listening to her words, Kimberly showed an embarrassed expression.

A visit to Maddox's office? This person was so bold. Kimberly frowned and said, "Sylvia, I don't thinkwe should do that. Young Master Yardley has a bad temper. If he knows, he may..."

"Oh, don't be afraid. I'm not going to drag you down if I get into trouble. You can drink the soup here,and I'll take a look at it myself."

Sylvia walked out quickly before Kimberly could stop her.

Kimberly was so nervous that she didn't even dare to drink the soup anymore. She put down thebowl in her hand and chased after her. Sylvia walked very fast and quickly ran to Maddox's office.Then, she secretly peeked at Maddox who was inside the room.
