Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 286

Kimberly was stunned. She looked at Sarah in shock.

"Sarah..."

"Scalded?" Maddox frowned and looked at Kimberly's fingers and saw that her fair fingers were red. Maddox's facial expression changed immediately. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bathroom to wash her hand with cold water. He yelled, "Get the burn ointment for me!"

Sarah was stunned for a moment. Then, she went to take the burn ointment immediately.

Kimberly stood there blankly when Maddox grabbed her hand and washed her hand with tap water. Her fingers were not that hot anymore. However, Kimberly saw the running tap water had turned into blood again.

She was so scared that her facial expression changed dramatically. She screamed and was about to pull her hand back.

Maddox was also frightened by her sudden scream. He calmed down soon. Then, he frowned and asked her in a deep voice, "Did I hurt you? How about I turn down the water?"

Listening to his deep and hoarse voice and feeling his cold aura, Kimberly came back to her senses. She turned around and looked at Maddox, who was very close to her. All of a sudden, Kimberly hugged Maddox tightly.

Although Maddox was happy seeing Kimberly throwing herself into his arms, he felt that Kimberly was acting strangely that day. He placed his hands on her shoulders and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing," Kimberly replied. She rested her chin on his shoulder and shook her head violently, "It's just that... the scald hurts."

Hearing that, Maddox frowned and said unhappily, "Sarah was too careless. How could she scald you? I'll replace her with someone else tomorrow."

"Please don't." Hearing that Maddox was going to replace Sarah, Kimberly quickly spoke for her, "It's not her fault. The soup was on the table. I didn't hold it well. It has nothing to do with her."

"Really?"

Kimberly nodded vigorously. Sarah was much more clever than she had imagined. Although Sarah said that she knew what had happened that day, she still chose to not reveal the truth when Maddox was there. She made Maddox think that Kimberly's face was pale because she scalded Kimberly's hand.

Sarah was so smart and meticulous. Wouldn't it be unfair for Sarah if she was replaced for no reason?

"Alright, I'll let her keep you company since you like her. I'll increase her salary as well." Maddox said.

"Thank you."

Sarah came over with the burn ointment soon. After applying the ointment on Kimberly, she left.

Kimberly was not in the mood to talk to Maddox. She was afraid that she would make things worse. Therefore, she went to bed soon after and claimed that she wanted to rest earlier because she was quite tired. Seeing that Kimberly's face was pale, Maddox didn't ask anymore.

Kimberly couldn't fall asleep. She had a dream when she finally fell asleep at midnight. The dream was full of bloody images. Sylvia was lying in a pool of blood, and she reached out her hands to Kimberly, calling her name weakly.

"Kimberly... Save me! Kimberly... Help!"

"Kimberly... I don't want to live anymore. Let me die."

The scene changed. Then, it became a scene where Sylvia and Maddox were hugging each other intimately.

The scene changed again. It became a scene where Maddox said coldly, "A woman like you who bears an illegitimate child doesn't deserve my love at all! I was just playing with you by telling you I like you. Do you really think I would fall in love with a woman like you? You're daydreaming!"

"Kimberly, why can't you understand the situation? You... are not worthy of love from any man... Haha!"

Kimberly was deeply affected by their wild laughter. Her body was covered with cold sweat. She wanted to wake up from the dream to stay away from those two people. However, they followed her no matter where she went.

"Ah!"

Kimberly exclaimed and sat up.

What came into view was the sunlight as well as the blue sky and the blue sea. It was already dawn.

Maddox was no longer beside her. Kimberly's body was drenched in sweat. She grabbed her mobile phone and took a look at it. Only then did she realize that it was past eight o'clock in the morning.

She was wondering whether Sylvia had woken up or not.

Thinking of that, Kimberly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. The burns on her fingers were not serious. She had recovered in one night after applying the burn ointment.

After changing into a new set of clothes, she took her mobile phone and was about to go to the hospital.

"Young Madam, are you going out? Can I keep you company today?"

Sarah suggested to Kimberly.

Kimberly wanted to refuse her. However, she nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Okay."

"Great!" Sarah responded happily. Then, she went to get ready to go out with Kimberly. Their chauffeur was still George.

George drove the car to the hospital. Then, he led Kimberly and Sarah to the ward.

They bumped into Juliette in the corridor, and she walked over to greet them.

"I already knew that Miss Shell would definitely come to the hospital today. However, I didn't expect you to come so early."

"Secretary Sharpio, you're very early as well. Sylvia..." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Miss Sylvia has woken up," Juliette smiled and said. She continued, "Let me take you to the ward now."

Hearing that, Kimberly's heart skipped a beat. She said, "Did you just say that... she has woken up?"

"Yup. Come with me," Juliette turned around and started walking away. Kimberly was stunned for a while. Then, she caught up with Juliette immediately.

Sylvia had woken up...

That was great!

She was fine! Thank goodness.

For some reason, tears were welling within Kimberly's eyes all of a sudden. She tried to calm down her excitement when she was walking to the ward. Then, Juliette suddenly stopped outside the ward and turned to look at Kimberly.

"Mr. Hanover is inside the ward as well. Miss Shell, do you want to calm yourself down before going in?"

After saying that, Juliette handed her a tissue paper.

Only then did Kimberly realize that tears were rolling down her cheeks. She turned around, embarrassed. Then, Sarah reached out her hand to wipe away the tears on Kimberly's face with a faint smile on her face. She said with a smile, "Young Madam, it's okay. You're sweating because you walked too fast just now. I have wiped it away for you."

Hearing the words 'Young Madam', Juliette couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

All of a sudden, she thought of the man named Maddox Yardley.

Juliette still remembered that Maddox appeared in the restaurant when they first met each other. His actions were strange as well. At that time, she was wondering... But, thinking about it right then, perhaps... things were exactly like what she thought.

It seemed that Kimberly's identity was really not simple.

Juliette smiled slightly and said, "That's right. Although it's already autumn, you will still sweat if you walk too fast. Look at me... I'm sweating a little as well." Juliette reached out her hand and wiped her forehead gently as she spoke. Then, she continued, "Miss Shell, do you want to go in now?"
