Chapter 80

No one knew how much time had passed. A jingling sound could be heard in the dark. It soundedas if keys were hitting against each other. The sound was particularly loud in the silent night. Afterthat, the door was opened.

Two figures appeared in the dark.

"Assistant Shell?" Sam Sorrento looked into the dark room. He took his mobile phone out andturned on the flashlight.

In an instant, the room was lit up.

Maddox Yardley could see what was going on in the room clearly. The woman was huddling herpetite figure up in the corner of the room. She held her knees and buried her head in between them.

She looked like a curled up cat.

It was unknown when the hair tie on her long hair had been untied. Her hair was spread all over hershoulders, covering her face and ears. She looked like a mess.

For some reason, Maddox could feel the despair and coldness emanating from her.

The feeling was very obvious.

What was going on? Maddox frowned and said in a displeased tone.

"What happened to her?"

Sam heard Maddox's inquiry and took a step forward. He asked, "Assistant Shell?"

She did not respond, and there was no movement at all. She just sat there motionlessly.

"Assistant Shell, Assistant Shell?" When he noticed that she had not moved at all, he hurriedlycalled her again.

However, there was still no response. It was as if she was dead.

Sam turned around and took a glance at Maddox, only to find him exuding a cold aura.

"Young Master..." Sam said.

Maddox wheeled himself over and stopped beside Kimberly. He said in a cold voice, "Raise yourhead."

There was no response.

Sam's heart was beating anxiously. What was wrong with Assistant Shell? Did his men disobey hisorders? Did they hurt her?

"My patience has its limits. I'll give you three seconds to raise your head." Maddox added.

However, the person remained curled up, as if she did not hear what he had just said. Maddox'seyelids twitched, and he suddenly thought of something. He grabbed Kimberly's wrist and pulled herup.

The petite girl did not resist at all. A pale face appeared in front of Maddox.

Sam, who was behind him, couldn't help but gasp.

Maddox's gaze was cold as he examined Kimberly.

Her white cheeks were now pale, and even the color on her lips had faded. Her eyes were lifeless.

Maddox said in a low voice, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Kimberly sat still.

Her eyes looked dull. It was only then that Maddox realized her gaze was not focused on him at all,as if she could not see him.

D*mn it!

What was wrong with this woman?

All of a sudden, Maddox scolded in a fit of rage, "Find out what's going on!"

When he saw Maddox's anger and Assistant Shell's lifeless look, Sam immediately realized theseverity of the situation. He turned around and went to call for help.

There were only Maddox and Kimberly left in the room. He pursed his thin lips and said in a coldtone, "Miss-Married-Twice, what happened to you?"

Kimberly maintained her posture, motionless.

D*mn it!

Maddox narrowed his eyes intimidatingly and stared at the woman in front of him. Her face was paleand her eyes were unfocused.

For the first time, he realized that he couldn't do anything to a woman.

He could not touch her, scold her, or be angry at her.

Her condition made Maddox feel guilty. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have become like this.novelbin

"Miss-Married-Twice, are you playing dumb? Or are you really not seeing me?" After a long time,Maddox asked again.

Kimberly still did not react. It was the first time Maddox had felt so helpless. He reached out andpulled her into his arms. Kimberly was very well-behaved like a puppet. She did not resist beingpulled into Maddox's arms and her body rested lightly on him.

Maddox felt his heart just skipped a beat. Something had changed.

He slowly wrapped his cold and big arms around Kimberly's thin waist and adjusted her position, sothat she could lie in his arms in a stable position. Then, he caressed the back of her head with hishand and said in a low voice.

"Just tell me if they bullied you. I'll avenge you."

The person in his arms did not respond.

"Woman, you'd better wake up now. You were bawling and crying when you were drunk the lasttime, and now you got yourself into such a mess. Do you think you could solve your problems thisway?" Maddox asked.

However, no matter how much he said, Kimberly still did not respond to him.

Sam quickly brought his subordinate over. As soon as he entered the door, the man asked in atrembling voice, "Young Master, what happened?"

Hearing what he said, Maddox's body immediately gave off an intimidating aura. He turned hishead, and his gaze fixated on that person.

"What did you do to her?" Maddox questioned. The man shivered and his feet trembled. "YoungMaster, we... didn't do anything!" the man explained.

They knew that this woman had an unusual relationship with Maddox, so they didn't dare to doanything to her. They weren't fools.

Maddox was shooting daggers at the man.

The man was scared out of his wits. His legs went limp and he knelt down on the floor, stammering.

"Young Master... We really didn't do anything to her. Assistant Sorrento told us not to lay our handson her, so we took her to this room and locked her here. We were waiting for your orders."

He didn't look like he was lying. She was just being locked in the room, but how did she end up likethis?

Maddox narrowed his eyes. "Did something else happen?"

The man paused to recall for a moment, and then said, "Nothing happened. She was very quietafter we locked her in the room. She didn't make any noise at all."

She did not make any noise at all?

Maddox's expression suddenly became complicated.

After a while, the man suddenly exclaimed, "But... because she was too quiet, we forgot that shewas locked in the room. So we forgot to send her... lunch and dinner."

As soon as he finished his words, he seemed to have anticipated his death. He started to tremble."What did you say?" Before Maddox could speak, Sam, who was listening to the conversation, losthis temper. "F**k, are you still a human? How could you forget to send her food? I can't believe thatyou had let her starve for the whole day!"

"I'm sorry, Young Master. We didn't do it on purpose... If she isn't talking now, could it be that shewas too hungry?"

She hadn't eaten for a day, and she was pregnant. Perhaps she had gotten sick because she wastoo hungry.

Sam felt guilty, so he could only say, "Young Master, why don't we go back first? Assistant Shellmust be feeling unwell after starving for the whole day."

Despite his anger, Maddox agreed. Then, Sam pushed him downstairs.

Kimberly, who was lying on top of him, had closed her eyes. She was sleeping in his arms.

It was only when they tried to put her in bed that Maddox realized that Kimberly had fainted.

Maddox's expression immediately changed and he said, "Go to the hospital now. Call Auntie Cherryand tell her to make some easily digestible food and send them to the hospital."
