Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 231

When Maddox heard the word 'hospital', he immediately narrowed his eyes alertly and his pupils contracted. Kimberly's mobile phone was in Benedict's hand, and they were at the hospital. What could this mean?

This meant something must have happened to her.

Suddenly, he felt his chest clutched. He almost couldn't breathe.

Maddox tried to suppress the anxiety in his voice as he asked, "Which hospital?"

Benedict thought for a while, told him the name of the hospital, and said, "I'm here with her. You should stay and deal with the company's matters. You don't have to rush over."

Then, he hung up the phone and returned it to Kimberly.

As he turned to her, he realized his other hand was covering Kimberly's mouth. He had done it instinctively when she had wanted to interrupt just now, not giving her a chance to speak.

Kimberly frowned intensely.

"Sorry." Benedict gave her phone back and smiled, saying, "I want to be selfish for once."

Kimberly suddenly had a subtle emotion upon hearing that. Vera, who was beside her, blinked nervously and then was feeling overjoyed. Looking at Benedict's expression... he seemed to be really in love with Kimberly.

"The patient has been sent to the emergency room. It is going to take a while. I'll take you to get your injuries checked out," Benedict said.

"No," Kimberly refused when she saw that he was about to help her up. "You can bring Vera to examine her injuries first. I'll stay on guard here."

Benedict frowned unhappily, "Kimberly."

"Brother Yardley, this is something critical. Please don't get in my way!"

Kimberly pursed her lips and said coldly.

Benedict was stunned.

Vera's facial expression changed as well.

After a long pause, Benedict smiled bitterly and uttered, "Alright. Since you insist, I will bring Vera to have her injuries tended first. It will be your turn when she comes back."

Kimberly was fine with his arrangement, so she did not say anything.

Benedict then brought Vera to have her injuries treated, leaving Kimberly sitting alone on the bench. In fact, both hers and Vera's injuries were quite bad. Those sturdy women had been relentless with them.

Just by taking a look at her and one could see bruises and scratches all over her body.

What one couldn't see was her internal injuries, which were far worse.

Kimberly could feel the pain shooting through her entire body by just briefly lifting her limbs. Catfights were really scary.

She laughed at herself and shook her head.

After God knew how long, Kimberly leaned back as she felt tired from the day's event. As she was about to close her eyes, she heard the sound of a wheelchair moving towards her.

It sounded familiar. When the sound approached, she instantly opened her eyes and saw Maddox right in front of her.

Benedict had just hung up on him not too long ago, how could he... show up so quickly?

"Kimberly Shell!" Maddox growled.

He grabbed her shoulder angrily and sized her up with his cold and sharp eyes. When he saw all the bruises and scratches, his eyes flickered with anger, "Who did this to you?"

He then thought of something. He looked around and saw that she was all by herself. He asked in a cold voice, "Where is Benedict?"

Kimberly came to her senses. She whispered, "Can you be gentler? My shoulder hurts."

Her entire body was covered with injuries. When he had grabbed her shoulders, she felt as if her body was about to fall apart.

Maddox was stunned. When he came to notice her pale features, he quickly let go of his grip.

The expression on his good-looking face became gloomy, and there was anger in his eyes. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After a moment, he grabbed her wrist. "Come with me. I'm taking you to the doctor." "Don't, it hurts." Kimberly pointed to her wrist.

Maddox paused. He did not let go of her. Instead, he pulled her sleeves up gently. When he saw that her fair arms were covered in bruises and scratches, he was blinded with rage.

"Who did this to you?"

Kimberly's heart, for some reason, went soft.

Benedict had told him over the phone to deal with the company's matters first. But Maddox had now appeared right in front of her shortly after hanging up the phone. He must have run all the red lights on his way to the hospital.

As for why he was so anxious, Kimberly didn't bother. The only thing she knew now was that he cared for her.

Her voice became softer as she explained, "The person who did this to me is in a worse condition than I am. Maddox... I may have made a big mistake."

Maddox frowned and demanded, "What the hell happened? Talk to me!"

Kimberly smiled and replied softly, "What if I tell you I might land myself in jail for hurting someone? If I get a life sentence, you will not have to... worry about my affair anymore."

Towards the end of her sentence, Kimberly lowered her head, looked down at her shoes and stopped talking.

Maddox had been frowning intensely. What nonsense was this woman talking about?

"Ah!" In shock, Kimberly suddenly exclaimed and looked up at Maddox who had just pulled her into his arms, "You..."

Maddox pinched her delicate chin and said in a calm and chilling voice, "I don't know what happened, but no one is allowed to touch my woman. Whoever hurt you would have to pay ten times the price."

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

"Now, tell me the whole story. I want to know every detail."

Kimberly shook her head and muttered, "I don't feel like talking about it."

He narrowed his eyes fiercely, "Don't test my patience."

"It hurts," Kimberly sniffed. She suddenly bent over, nestled on his chest, and wrapped her arms around his neck, "My entire body hurts. I don't feel like saying anything."

Maddox was about to lose temper, but when Kimberly gave in and snuggled him while whispering that she was in pain...

All the anger that had just burst out instantly dissipated. Maddox found his heart turned limp. He looked at the fragile little woman in his arms and swallowed the lump in his throat harshly.

"Where does it hurt?" he asked.

Kimberly closed her eyes, "Everywhere."

Maddox paused for a moment, "Then... do you want me to rub it?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say. Sam, who had come with Maddox, was speechless as well.

He thought to himself and chuckled secretly, 'Am I invisible?1

Although Kimberly did not answer, Maddox reached out and placed his hand on the back of her neck, where there was a large bruise. He could see it clearly when she had nestled her head on him.

Kimberly's neck, which was fair and smooth, was now severely bruised. Maddox was both distressed and angry. He placed his hand on it with some force and rubbed it without a word.

Kimberly's body trembled at his touch. His heart went soft again. He carefully adjusted his strength and rubbed on the bruise lightly.

"Is it better now?" he asked.
