Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 243

When they arrived at the hospital, Sam told Abigail the whole story. She shook her head helplessly and disinfected Kimberly's wounds before applying the medicine again. She then ordered Kimberly to go back and have a good rest.

Before Kimberly left, Abigail added another comment, "You are one of us now, so I'll just be frank with you. Your injuries seem to be quite serious, but you don't have to come to the hospital every day. All you have to do is to ask Maddox to apply the medicine for you. You hear me?"

Kimberly's face turned red when she heard that, "I'm sorry, Auntie Abigail. I will keep that in mind. I will not trouble you anymore."

Abigail looked at her helplessly, "What are you thinking? I'm not saying that you're troubling me, but you can't come to the hospital everyday just to ask me to treat your injuries. You need to learn to let Maddox help you. Do you understand? As a woman, you mustn't be so stubborn all the time."

Kimberly paused for a moment and slowly realized that Abigail was teaching her how to deal with Maddox.

"Auntie, I..."

"Remember what I told you the other day? Although Maddox looks like a cold and vicious man, but deep down, he is very sensitive. His face does not show what he actually feels. You have to find a way to deal with him, do you understand?"

As she spoke, Abigail reached for Kimberly's hand, "Don't tell anyone I told you this. Keep it to yourself, okay?"

After saying goodbye to Abigail, Kimberly went straight back to the Yardley mansion. When she arrived home, she was lost in her own thoughts for a while. Suddenly, she took her phone to text

Sylvia.

Kimberly didn't have many friends. Sylvia was one of them. And Kimberly had recently gotten close to another friend, Vera.

Now Kimberly had a thousand things running through her mind, and she wanted to find someone to confide in.

However, she stopped herself as soon as she opened the chat box. She thought back to what Sylvia told her. Kimberly wasn't sure if she could confide in Sylvia. Would Sylvia scold her?

Kimberly took a deep breath and eventually put down her phone.

"Forget it, I'd better follow my heart."

As noon approached, Kimberly headed over to the office to have lunch with Maddox. However, when she arrived, she realized that Maddox was not in his office.

After asking around, she learned that he had already left. The security guard told her that Maddox had the office around the same time as her.

Kimberly began to ponder what she discovered.

She remembered that Maddox asked Sam to take her to the hospital, because he had to get back to a meeting.

The meeting was obviously very important which was why he only briefly stopped. But why did he leave the company as soon as she did? Was there anything else particularly important? What could be more important than his meeting?

Kimberly was a little curious, but she didn't think too much about it. She decided to have lunch with Vera instead. The entire time she was there, but she did not see Maddox. He did not go back to his office either. In the end, Kimberly could only head back home by herself.

Kimberly thought that Maddox would come home at night, so she did not re-apply the medicine on her wounds. She remembered what Abigail said. Maybe Maddox could help her with the medicine this time.

So, Kimberly waited on the couch for him. She waited for a long while, and accidentally dozed off. When she woke up suddenly, she realized that she was still alone in the room.

Kimberly subconsciously rubbed her eyes. "Maddox.... is not home yet?"

After rubbing her eyes, she turned her attention to her mobile phone.

It was already midnight.

It was very late....

Had she slept on the couch for that long?

Kimberly was feeling a little cold, so she quickly got up and found a jacket to put on. Then she went out in search of Maddox.

She went into his study, hoping to find him in there, but it was also empty. In the end, she could only ask the servants about him.

"Is Second Young Master back yet?"

When the servant saw her, she answered, "Miss Shell, what are you doing up so late?"

Kimberly pursed her lips when she heard the question and asked again, "I asked you a question. Why are you not answering me?"

The servant replied respectfully, "Second Young Master hasn't come back yet. He must be swamped with work. It's already midnight. You should go to bed."

After that, the servant left.

Kimberly stood there in a daze. It was past midnight, why wasn't he home yet? Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

What was he so busy with?

Kimberly suddenly remembered about the question she had asked earlier that day at the office. Ever since she bumped into Maddox in the elevator, he was nowhere to be found. She even waited to have lunch for him, but was left alone. Until now, he still hadn't come home yet.

Could it be... that something happened?

A bolt of panic struck her. Kimberly anxiously took out her mobile phone to call Maddox.

There was no answer. Kimberly became worried when she couldn't get through to him. So, she could only call Sam as a last resort.

Sam answered his phone after a few rings. He sounded a bit groggy. The phone call must have woken him up.

"Who is it?"

"Sam, it's me."

"Hmm? Who are you? Miss Shell?" At first, Sam was still a little confused, but he quickly realized that it was Kimberly. From the commotion on the other end of the phone, it sounded like he had

jolted out of bed. Kimberly quickly pulled the phone away from her ear. After a while, Sam finally started speaking again.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. What can I do for you?"

Judging from his tone, Kimberly guessed that Sam was not with Maddox.

Kimberly asked cautiously, "I just wanted to ask... Were you not with Maddox today?"

Sam seemed to remember something when he heard Maddox's name. Guilt suddenly washed over him.

"Miss Shell... Why do you ask this question all of a sudden? Is everything alright?"

"He... He hasn't come home yet. I'm a little worried about him."

"What?" Sam was obviously shocked, "Young Master Yardley hasn't returned yet?"

Kimberly nodded and said, "Yes. Do you know where he is?"

"D*mn it!" Sam swore uncontrollably, "How could he be entangled with her for so long? I mean, look at the time!" Sam muttered to himself. Although he said it in a low voice, Kimberly could hear every word. She asked doubtfully, "What did you just say?"

"No." Sam suddenly realized what he said and denied it, "Nothing. Don't worry. I'll call Young Master Yardley right away."

"I can't get through to his phone."

Kimberly paused and nervously bit her lip, "Can... can you bring me to find him?"

She was very curious. Maddox had been busy all day. What was he busy with?

Sam hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I can't. It's very late and you're injured. If Young Master Yardley knows that I brought you out, he will definitely kill

me.

"Don't worry about it. My wounds are pretty much healed. I'm just worried about Maddox."

"Please leave this to me. I'm going to find Young Master Yardley. You should rest early."
