Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 288

Sarah and George followed behind Kimberly quickly.

"Young Madam, wasn't it you who saved her? Why would she refuse to see you?"

"It's okay if she doesn't want to see me. Let's go back first." Kimberly didn't force the matter. She could understand why Sylvia didn't want to see her. It was the same reason why Kimberly didn't want to see her before that.

Kimberly wouldn't have gone to the hotel to find Sylvia and wouldn't even discover her attempt to suicide if it wasn't because of what Sylvia had said.

Kimberly had not calmed herself down from Sylvia's attempted suicide.

"So, we came here for nothing?" Sarah couldn't help but complained, "That woman is too heartless. It's you who saved her yesterday but she didn't even thank you. She even shouted so loudly that she didn't want to see you."

Sarah thought that Kimberly must be very sad.

George took a glance at Sarah and then shook his head at her, trying to hint her not to say anything more.

Sarah came back to her senses and realized that she had said something wrong in a fit of anger. She explained to Kimberly immediately, "I'm sorry, I've said something wrong."

"It's okay," Kimberly shook her head and said. Then, she continued walking.

A familiar voice sounded when they were about to arrive at the hospital entrance, calling them. Kimberly turned around and saw Quill standing not far behind her. He was standing there without any expression on his face.

'It's him?1 Kimberly thought. She felt a sense of warmth when she saw him. Then, she walked towards him.

"Mr. Hanover."

Quill nodded. Then, he glanced at the two people behind her, and said, "Shall we find a place nearby to have a talk?"

Hearing that, Kimberly looked at him in surprise. "Mr. Hanover?"

"You saved Sylvia. As her elder brother, I should thank you."

"It's okay," Kimberly replied. She blushed and waved her hand to reject him, saying, "I also just happened to find her after she attempted suicide. Other people would definitely save her as well if they were in such a situation. Also, I have known Sylvia for so many years... So, I would have definitely saved her."

Kimberly didn't mention that Sylvia was her close friend because she felt that they were not so close anymore.

Perhaps Sylvia couldn't be considered as Kimberly's close friend anymore.

Quill looked at Kimberly calmly and said, "I don't want to know what happened between you two. I just believe that you're a kind-hearted person." Kimberly paused for a moment, "Mr. Hanover."

"However, I have a question. I need you to solve the puzzle for me."

Quill said and his gaze on Kimberly became passionate at that point of time. Sarah and George, who were standing behind Kimberly, saw that and could not help but look at each other.

Gosh, did that man have feelings for Young Madam? No way!

"What is your question, Mr. Hanover?"

Quill said, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

He was still staring at Kimberly. Although he knew that it was impolite, he still couldn't help it.

She looked just like her.

Each time Quill met her, he was overwhelmed by a sense of familiarity, as if they'd known each other for a long time. Could the feelings originate from a source that was familial in nature?

The day before, he received some information from Juliette from her investigation. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

It was detailed information about Kimberly's background.

He spent the whole night reading all the information. He didn't miss out on any information.

Later, he found that Kimberly's temperament was very similar to that of that person's. Also, the way she spoke and the way she dealt with anything were similar to that person as well. Quill would think that Kimberly was that person if it wasn't for the fact that she didn't look like her. Quill wanted to say it out loud. However, he still didn't dare to admit it.

After all, it was a serious matter. Two people might be hurt if there was any mistake.

Therefore, he had to be cautious.

Sarah wanted to reject Quill angrily. However, it seemed that Quill didn't have any bad intentions. Also, Kimberly had agreed to him. Therefore, she could only follow behind Kimberly. She couldn't say anything more because she was just a servant.

Sarah thought that even if she judged him incorrectly, and he turned out to be a b*stard, both she and George would be able to save Kimberly.

There was a restaurant near the hospital. The environment was very quiet. They went in and asked for a window seat. After that, Kimberly and Quill sat down face to face.

Sarah took a look at the seat and found that the pedestrians outside could be seen at a glance from that seat.

It seemed that Quill really wanted Kimberly to solve his doubts. He did not have any evil thoughts at all.

Thinking of that, Sarah felt relieved.

The waiter of the restaurant came over to serve tea. Quill and Kimberly ordered a few dishes. Then, the waiter left with the menu.

"The environment here is quite good."

Kimberly looked around and praised, "I didn't expect such a quiet place could be found near the hospital." Quill did not speak. He frowned and lowered his head. He looked as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that Quill was still silent, Kimberly didn't say anything as well.

After sitting quietly for a few minutes, Quill suddenly took out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Kimberly.

"Miss Shell, do you know what this is?"

'What's that?'

Kimberly reached out her hand and took the photo confusingly.

The photo featured a peace pendant. It was made of gold, which seemed to be no different from the pendants she usually saw. She smiled and said, "May I ask if there is anything special about this peace pendant?"

"There's nothing special about it," Quill said. Then, he gave a wry smile and said in a much calmer voice, "It looks almost the same as the other peace pendants. But... its material and its back are special."

"Its material and the back?" Kimberly thought.

Kimberly paused for a moment. The material of the peace pendant on that photo was not the same as that of ordinary ones indeed.

"My grandfather specifically asked someone else to make it."

Kimberly nodded and said, "However, only the front side can be seen in this photo. The back can't be seen at all." Speaking of that, Quill handed Kimberly another photo. The photo featured the back of the peace pendant.

Kimberly didn't see any difference at first but all of a sudden, Sarah shouted from behind her, "Young Madam, there is a word engraved on the back."

Hearing that, Kimberly noticed that word that was engraved on the backside.

'Minerva.1

"What does this word mean?"

Sarah asked in confusion. She still did not understand Quill's intention. She thought, "Is he going to ask the whereabouts of the peace pendant? But, what is the reason behind this? Young Madam would usually have no contact with this type of thing. How could she possibly know?"

Minerva?

Looking at the word, Kimberly felt that it was very unfamiliar. She then looked at Quill and asked, "Mr. Hanover, why did you ask me this out of a sudden... Did something happen?"

Quill wanted to say something, but he changed what he wanted to say into a different sentence in the end.

"Miss Shell, have you not seen this peace pendant before?"

Kimberly frowned slightly and shook her head.
