Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 235

Divorce her? Maddox immediately frowned when he heard the word this. To be honest, he did think of divorcing Kimberly in the early stages of their marriage. But after getting to know her, he realized that he had misjudged this woman. Maybe...

"I know that you don't like that the baby is not yours, but since her body can't go through any operation, you have to learn to accept it."

Maddox looked up at Abigail when he heard her and replied, "Auntie, do you mean that I have to follow my family's orders and continue living with this girl? Even though the baby isn't mine?"

Abigail's expression changed a little, and then she replied helplessly, "What do you mean by that? She was pregnant even before she married you. She was just unfortunate to meet some bad guy. If you like her, you should feel sorry for her and treat her better in the future. The way I see it, she clearly has no bad intentions. Most importantly, she didn't turn her back on you just because you're handicapped. She protects you instead. This type of girl is very difficult to find."

Maddox heard her, but he also realized the hidden meaning. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her dangerously, asking, "Who says that I like her?"

Abigail had mentioned it in passing. Who knew he would be offended by such a simple sentence? Suddenly, she realized something and laughed, "What? I gave you a whole speech and you only heard that part? Maddox, whether you truly like her or not, I really can't tell. But you must care about her, right? Otherwise, why did you ask Sam to find me in the middle of the night to deal with that matter last time? Were you just bored, or doing charity for her?"

She did not spare Maddox's feelings. Her words pierced his heart and his expression changed drastically.

"Don't you know why you did those things?" Abigail added.

When she saw the change in Maddox's expression, Abigail smiled proudly. She placed a few bottles of medicine on the table and continued, "Her wounds cannot get wet during these few days. The wounds have to be washed and remember to apply this medicine on them every day. You can help her."

Maddox pursed his lips when she had suggested this. He said, "I'll bring her here every day."

"I'm very busy. If there's nothing serious, don't come and find me. I am pretty sure you can deal with this simple task by yourself. Don't you know how to change the dressing? If you do not treat the wounds properly, they might get infected."

After that, Abigail immediately turned around and walked back into her office. Just then, the nurse knocked on the door and reminded her, "Doctor Stark, your surgery is scheduled to start in thirty minutes. We should start prepping now."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Abigail nodded, waiting for the nurse to leave. She then looked at Maddox and said, "Did you hear that? I'm going to perform a surgery. She is resting inside. When she wakes up, you can take her home."

Abigail quickly packed up her things and left, leaving Maddox alone in her office. He thought of something and stared at the bottles of medicine, before reluctantly grabbing them with him.

It was quiet inside. Kimberly should still be resting.

In fact, Kimberly wasn't resting. After Abigail had left, she got out of bed, wanting to go out as well. However, when she walked to the door, she suddenly heard the conversation between the two people. She had listened to the entire conversation.

At this moment, after hearing all of that, she did not dare to go out anymore. After all, she had a guilty conscience. She could only crawl back into bed and pretend to be asleep.

However, her entire body was in pain. Her body felt sticky after applying the medicine. It was very uncomfortable for her to lie down. She grimaced in pain.

She had no idea how long had passed when she heard a sudden noise coming from outside. It was the sound of wheels rolling. Although the sound was not loud, it boomed throughout the quiet surroundings. Kimberly could hear it clearly.

Realizing that Maddox might be coming, Kimberly suddenly thought of his conversation with Abigail. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Instinctively, she painfully turned over, her back facing the door.

If Maddox actually came in, he might know if she was pretending to be asleep.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open as she expected. Maddox came into the room. His wheelchair quietly rolled towards the bed. He saw Kimberly lying on the bed and caught a glimpse of the scars covering her arms and neck.

When he saw the scars, there was a flash of cruelty in his dark eyes.

He would not forgive anyone who hurt her!

Kimberly felt a certain chill as she lay on her side. It was so frightening and her shoulders trembled. What was going on? Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Had Maddox realized that she wasn't actually asleep?

Kimberly's eyelashes fluttered. When she was about to flinch, she suddenly felt Maddox's breath as he came closer to her. He was already right behind her. At this moment, he grabbed the corner of her shirt and gently pulled it up.

Kimberly wanted to flinch, but she restrained herself.

Maddox... What was he doing?

However, Kimberly didn't know that Maddox was actually looking at the wounds on her back. As he examined the wounds, his black eyes grew darker, even darker than the night sky.

Maddox stared at her back for a while. As for Kimberly who was pretending to be asleep, every second felt like an eternity. Her skin was exposed. She wanted to move but didn't dare to. She was afraid of Maddox finding out that she was pretending. That would be so embarrassing.

She had no choice but to keep her emotions inside of her. Finally, after what felt like forever, Maddox let go of her shirt. Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more comfortable.

After a while, Maddox went out of the room, and Kimberly finally calmed down. She slowly turned around and looked at the spot he was in just now, deep in thought.

Later, Kimberly actually fell asleep. By the time she woke up, the sky was already dark. She sat up and noticed that the pain had slowly subsided. She was thankful for Abigail's medical skills and the ointment she had used.

However...

Where was everyone? The office was really quiet. Abigail was probably not done with her surgery. Where was Maddox? Where did he go?

At the thought of Maddox, Kimberly quickly jumped up. Something fell off from her body and caught her attention. She looked down and realized that it was Maddox's jacket.

Kimberly picked up the jacket in a daze. Maddox had actually placed his jacket over her. Did that mean he was here the entire time while she was asleep?

Kimberly suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She picked up the jacket and walked out of the room. She noticed that Abigail was finished with her surgery.

"You're awake." Abigail looked back at her and smiled. "Maddox had something to deal with, so he went out with Sam. Do you want to have dinner with me tonight?" Kimberly paused for a while, slowly digesting her words before nodding subconsciously.

She said, "Okay, but... where did he go?"

When Abigail saw Maddox's jacket in her hand, she curled her lips. "If you really want to know, why don't you call him and ask him for yourself?"

Call him and ask him for herself?

Kimberly pursed her lips and changed the topic, "Auntie, where are we going to eat?"

"Come to my house. I'll cook."
