Chapter 291
Chapter 291
The atmosphere was romantic in the darkness. Kimberly had wanted to ask him about the progress initially, but she'd forgotten about it after being teased by Maddox. They bantered for a while. Then, Maddox stroked her head and said, "Alright, you're pregnant now. You have to rest early. Let's talk about it later."
"Well, okay," Kimberly answered in a lazy tone because she was quite tired as well.
One of them fell asleep after a while, and soon after, the other one followed suit.
Kimberly woke up alone in the bed the next day, realizing that Maddox had left for the company as per usual.
She should have gotten used to this kind of life.
However, she would still be disappointed when she saw that Maddox was not there when she woke up.
It seemed that Maddox was very busy. He would go out early in the morning and came back late at night, which was also the only time Kimberly could spend time with him.
After Kimberly finished washing up, she received a call from Sylvia.
"Kimberly..." Sylvia said weakly.
Hearing Sylvia's voice, tears welled up within Kimberly's eyes immediately. She didn't give any response to Sylvia and just sat there quietly. Sylvia sighed and said softly, "Are you angry with me or blaming me because I said I didn't want to see you yesterday? I'm sorry, Kimberly. I was really in a bad mood yesterday. I... didn't want to live anymore. But..."
"But what?" Kimberly said coldly, "But I saved you, so you blamed me?"
"I... I'm sorry, Kimberly," Sylvia sobbed. "Can you forgive me? I... want to see you today. Can you come to the hospital to see me? I have a lot to say to you."
"Go to the hospital to see you?" Kimberly said angrily. She sneered, "Are you sure that I won't be shut out by you again?"
God knew how uncomfortable Kimberly was when she heard Sylvia screaming and saying that she didn't want to see her yesterday.
"No, Kimberly. It's all my fault yesterday. I promise you that something like that won't happen again. Can you please come here? Otherwise, tell me where you are and I'll look for you if you don't want to come."
After that, Kimberly heard the sound of Sylvia getting out of bed. She couldn't bear it. "Forget it. Just lie down on the bed for now. You are too weak after losing so much blood."
Hearing this, Sylvia smiled and said, "I know you still care about me. I'll rest here and wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Kimberly looked at the phone with mixed feelings. She was really a softhearted person to be easily persuaded by Sylvia. Well, it was fine. She really should pay Sylvia a visit since she almost died yesterday.
When they heard that Kimberly was leaving, Sarah and George followed her out.
The ward was quiet today. Only Juliette was keeping Sylvia company.
Juliette opened the door when Kimberly knocked on the door, and was surprised to see her. She said, "Miss Shell, why are you..."
Kimberly merely nodded her head, but before she could say anything Sylvia called out, "Let Kimberly come in. I want to talk to her alone. I don't want anyone else here."
Juliette was stunned, but nodded her head after a while.
She stepped aside and said, "Please come in, Miss Shell." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Sarah wanted to follow Kimberly into the ward. However, Kimberly said to her, "I also have something to say to her alone. You two wait for me outside. I will come out soon."
Although Sarah was a little worried, Sylvia was Kimberly's friend. Therefore, Sarah did not think too much and nodded in agreement.
Juliette closed the door of the ward after Kimberly entered the ward. Then, she invited Sarah and George to have a seat at the side.
The ward was quiet. Kimberly saw Sylvia sitting on the hospital bed pitifully with her hands wrapped around her thighs, looking back at her despondently. "Kimberly, you're finally here..."
Her wrist was still wrapped with a thick bandage. Bloodstains could still be seen on it. It was obvious that the wound had not fully recovered yet.
Kimberly frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to lie down? Why are you sitting up?"
"I was waiting for you," Sylvia said with tears welling up in her eyes.
"I already said that I would come, right?"
She sat down on a chair not far from the hospital bed. Then, she pursed her lips and said after taking a breath, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"I'm sorry..." Sylvia looked at Kimberly for a long time. All of a sudden, she bit her lower lip and sobbed, "Kimberly, I'm sorry. Did I scare you yesterday? Or did I cause trouble for you?"
Kimberly frowned and did not give any response to her.
"I had actually thought about suicide for a long time, but I didn't take any action because I was afraid of pain. But... I felt heartbroken when I thought you were ignoring me. I thought I really deserved to die. Maddox is your husband, but I fell in love with him."
Kimberly's heart skipped a beat after hearing what Sylvia said. Was Sylvia trying to ask for forgiveness?
Should Kimberly forgive her?
Sylvia continued while Kimberly was dwelling on her thoughts, "In fact, I'd fallen in love with Young Master Yardley at first sight. I couldn't help but like him when I first saw him, so I even took the initiative to approach him a lot of times. However, Young Master Yardley didn't keep his distance from me as well, so I was very happy. Do you know why I dared to try to win over his heart? That's because I thought that you would definitely be together with the biological father of your child in the future. So, I never cared about my feelings for Young Master Yardley. That's why things ended up in this way."
"Kimberly, I... didn't want you to know about this initially. I'll tell you after I've dealt with everything. But, I didn't expect you to know so soon. I can't bring myself to face you."
Kimberly said, "So, you chose to commit suicide?"
"I'm sorry." Sylvia bit her lower lip tightly. "Kimberly, I'm really sorry, but... I really like Young Master Yardley very much. I couldn't bear to see him in a relationship with others if I am alive. I feel that I won't separate you and Young Master Yardley if I'm dead, but why did you save me?"
Kimberly said coldly, "Didn't you send me a message, asking me to go there? You said that you have something to say to me. Sylvia... there are many men in the world. Why do you have to like Maddox?"
"What about you?" Sylvia raised her head and looked at Kimberly with tears in her eyes. She said, "You're obviously bearing Benedict's child. Why don't you let Maddox go? Do you think it's fair for Maddox?"
