Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 318

"It doesn't matter. How is Miss Shell? She doesn't seem to be in a good condition." Valeria was indeed Benedict's right-hand secretary. She knew what was the most important thing to him.

"She had a high fever, and it has just subsided," Benedict replied in a low voice.

Valeria thought for a moment and looked at Benedict again. She said, "Vice President Yardley, please don't worry. I will inform someone to deal with the company's affairs today. As for Miss Shell, I will take care of her. It seems that you have not rested at all. You should get some rest or you will fall ill."

"Thank you." Benedict looked at Valeria gratefully. She had been his secretary for many years. Within a few minutes, she understood the situation and knew what she had to do. Most importantly, she knew what he valued.

Over the years, Valeria had always been very reliable. Therefore, with her around, Benedict suddenly felt relieved.

He finally closed his eyes. In an instant, the darkness swept over him.

This time, he finally let himself fall asleep.

Soon, Valeria heard the uniform breathing from Benedict. She looked at Benedict helplessly and sighed softly, "True love indeed makes people risk their own life." Valeria covered her chest after a moment of silence. "No, that's not true. Vice President Yardley is just sleeping, but... is he really in love with Miss Shell?"

Valeria tidied things up and sat down. Benedict called her in the middle of the night and she had guessed there might be something urgent. Thus, she had brought her materials including her laptop with her. Now, she could deal with her work as she watched over them.

Thinking of this, Valeria took out her laptop and logged into her account to deal with the things that needed to be taken care of at the company for the day.

She would probably have to stay in the ward for the whole day. Benedict was badly injured. He would definitely not be able to go to work. Thus, she had to set things up in advance. Otherwise, she would be left with a mess to deal with at the end of the day.

Valeria worked efficiently. Very soon, she arranged all the preparations that needed to be done for the day and then sent them to the staff in her department. When everything was done, she looked at the time. It was almost seven o'clock.

She could wait a bit longer.

Valeria looked up at the two on the hospital bed. She didn't know when they would wake up.

In the end, Valeria sent a message directly to a staff member and asked him to call her back. She felt a little sleepy, so she went to make herself a cup of instant coffee and sipped it leisurely in the ward.

Neither of them showed any signs of waking up at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Kimberly was still in a nightmare. The ruthless words of those people in the dream kept attacking her. She didn't know how to refute them. Even if she retorted, those people would quickly counterattack and beat her up until she was defeated and she had no choice but to flee.

"No, don't!" Kimberly suddenly screamed and opened her eyes.

All she saw was the whiteness of a ceiling.

Valeria drank two cups of instant coffee but was still so bored that she wanted to fall asleep. When she almost fell asleep, a scream woke her up.

She then turned to the source of the sound, only to find that Kimberly was awake.

She quickly rubbed her face, got up and walked towards her.

"Miss Shell, you're up," Valeria said.

Upon hearing the gentle female voice, Kimberly was stunned for a moment and then came to her senses. She looked at the person walking towards her.

The woman looked familiar, but her head hurt so much... She seemed to know this person, but her memory was very vague.

"You are...?" Kimberly asked.

Valeria's expression changed slightly. "I'm Valeria, the secretary of Vice President Yardley. We have met several times in the company. Miss Shell, don't you remember me?" With her reminder, Kimberly suddenly remembered that they had indeed met at the company before.

She was too drowsy to remember who this woman was for a moment.

Kimberly nodded and whispered, "Yes, I remember now."

Valeria was a little embarrassed. "It seems like I didn't make a strong impression. I've met Miss Shell several times, and yet you don't recognize me."

Upon hearing that, Kimberly felt a little awkward. She tried to sit up.

Valeria quickly helped her up and put a pillow under her back. She didn't ask her any questions and turned around to get her a glass of warm water.

When she came back with the warm water, Kimberly was looking at Benedict and her eyes were full of worry.

"Miss Shell, Vice President Yardley is fine now. You don't have to worry about him," Valeria assured her.

"I'm glad to hear that." Kimberly looked down and recalled what happened last night. She was rejected by Maddox. Then it rained heavily, she fell in the rain and was carried away by Benedict.

Kimberly blamed herself when she thought of how she made him follow her all the way there when he was so badly injured.

"Miss Shell, have some warm water first," Valeria said.

Valeria handed her the glass of water. Kimberly took a few sips, and then she couldn't drink anymore. "What did the doctor say? He got caught in the rain with me yesterday," Kimberly asked.

Valeria was stunned by Kimberly's words. Everything had been dealt with when she came here. She only saw the outcome, but she didn't know what had happened. Furthermore, she didn't have anyone to ask. "Vice President Yardley called me and asked me to take care of Miss Shell. By the time I reached, he was still awake," Valeria raised her eyebrows and replied gently.

Kimberly's lips parted, but she couldn't say a word.

Valeria thought for a moment and added, "It was early in the morning when I came. Miss Shell, do you remember what time you arrived at the hospital?"

Kimberly did not answer. Although she had no idea when she arrived at the hospital, she could roughly guess. This meant that, after she arrived at the hospital, Benedict had watched over her until Valeria appeared.

How could this person be... so...

Kimberly didn't know how to judge Benedict. If there was anything bad about him, she could refuse him completely even though he was nice to her.

But why? Why would he be so nice to her?

He had done too much for her, making her feel guilty.

She couldn't even respond to his affections!

Benedict, he... he knew it, didn't he? Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Miss Shell, I have been a secretary for Vice President Yardley for many years. Although he is a gentle person on the facade, once he believes in something, or someone, nobody can change it. You don't have to blame yourself. After all, these are all out of his own will," Valeria said.
