Chapter 292
Kimberly was stunned after hearing this.
She didn't expect that Sylvia would say it out loud.
She turned her head to look at the door of the ward in a panic.
"Kimberly, are you afraid? You won't feel at ease being together with Maddox because you're bearing Benedict's child. If... Maddox knows about this, do you think... he can tolerate this?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Hearing this, Kimberly's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Sylvia and said, "So? Do you want to tell him this? Or do you think that Maddox and I will get a divorce if you tell him about this?"
Sylvia shook her head, looking terrified. She said, "You have misunderstood me. I won't say it out as long as you don't want to. Kimberly... We are close friends. I've always been doing everything for your own good. Look at this..."
Sylvia suddenly handed a contract to Kimberly.
Kimberly didn't care about it at first. However, her face turned pale and her breathing rate increased when she saw the name on the contract. She asked, "Why is this contract with you?"
Sylvia did not say anything. She just looked at Kimberly timidly.
This was the divorce agreement Kimberly signed with Maddox. However, why was it with Sylvia? What was going on? Could it be that... this divorce agreement was the answer that Maddox was going to give her?
"Kimberly, I know you have a deep affection for Maddox. But... love can't be forced. He... doesn't like you at all. He will hate you if he knows that the biological father of your child is Benedict. Isn't it better for you to be together with Benedict? Benedict really likes you."
"Stop talking!" Kimberly interrupted her. She continued, "I don't need others to tell me what to do. I can be with anyone I love. Also, you said that love can't be forced. Then why should I force myself to be with Benedict? Sylvia, we have always considered each other as close friends. You said you are doing everything for my own good. However, have you ever asked me if I wanted to be together with Benedict? You only know that Benedict likes me. But, you never asked me if I like him or not. Are you really not doing all this for your benefit?"
Sylvia was stunned by Kimberly's words. She looked at her blankly and repeated the words, "For... my benefit?"
"You'll realize that what you did is no different from forcing me if you weren't selfish. However, you're being irrational now because you have been overwhelmed by your feelings. You've always wanted me to be together with Benedict. Am I right?"
"Kimberly..."
"Today is the last time I'm seeing you, Sylvia. It has nothing to do with me anymore no matter what you do in the future. You have been very kind to me. But... I've also been very nice to you. There must be a give and take in the relationship. So, I don't owe you anything. Also, I saved your life yesterday. I won't see you again."
After that, Kimberly turned around and walked out.
She had to be heartless. Otherwise... she would be affected by Sylvia easily.
"Will you still be fine if Maddox wants to divorce you? Kimberly, you said that I am selfish. But, I'm really doing all this for your own good. What will you do if Maddox divorces you?"
"Really?" Kimberly smiled faintly and said, "Let's talk about it when it happens then. Also, that's my business. I can handle it myself."
Seeing Kimberly was really going to leave, Sylvia became panicked. She got out of bed immediately and grabbed Kimberly's arm, saying, "Please don't leave, Kimberly. It's my fault... But, I really can't live without Maddox. He doesn't like you at all. Can you let me be together with him? Please."
"What did you say?" Kimberly thought she had heard it wrong. She stared at Sylvia in disbelief. She asked again, "Do you want to say it again?"
"I'm sorry. I know I've gone too far. But, I really can't live without him. I can't stop thinking about him as long as I am alive. You shouldn't have saved me yesterday. You should have just let me die. Everything will be over if I die."
Hearing this, Kimberly sneered. She looked at Sylvia and said sarcastically, "Are you blaming me for saving you? Or are you threatening me with your life?" "Kimberly... I really don't mean it. But, I really like him. You are pregnant now and Benedict likes you so much. Can't you be together with him? Benedict is the one who can give you happiness!"
"Why do I have to accept this just because you say so? Sylvia, you were not like this before. Why have you become like this now?"
Sylvia was acting as if she had been bewitched and did not answer Kimberly's question. She hugged Kimberly's thigh and repeated the same sentence over and over again, "Please let me be together with Maddox..."
Kimberly struggled to pull her leg away from Sylvia's grip. However, Sylvia was determined enough to beg her. She didn't let Kimberly go at all and continued to beg with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I have known you for so long. You also know I have always been nice to you. I've never begged for anything from you. I just want you to let me be together with Maddox. I can't live without him."
Sylvia kept on crying so badly that she didn't notice that Kimberly was crying as well.
Kimberly bit her lower lip and said, "Are you threatening me with your own life? Our friendship is completely over now. You'd rather give up our friendship for a man, huh?"
"No!" Sylvia shook her head vigorously. She said, "We are still close friends to each other as long as you promise to let me be together with Maddox. I will treat you nicely in the future. I will treat your child... as my own child."
Kimberly finally understood what Sylvia was thinking after listening to these words.
Perhaps Sylvia really did love Maddox deeply.
"What a beautiful lie,” Kimberly gave a hollow laugh and said. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
She'd only ever dared to cry in front of Sylvia in the past. However, she felt that Sylvia would probably make fun of her now if Sylvia saw her crying.
Kimberly's mind was full of thoughts of Maddox now.
"But... you've only thought about your feelings for Maddox. Have you ever thought about my feelings?"
Kimberly had never known that she would fall in love with the same man as Sylvia. She wouldn't even expect that Sylvia would confront her because of a man.
