Chapter 321
"No, I..." Kimberly still wanted to say something, but Benedict reached out to rub her head and said, "Well, let's talk about it next time. Valeria, go ahead and check me out of the hospital, then let's pack up and leave."
Kimberly knew he did this for her. If he didn't leave the hospital, she wouldn't leave even if he asked her to. This was the only way he could force her to leave.
"Benedict... You've gone to such lengths for me, why are you doing this?" She thought.
Somehow, Kimberly began to feel sorry for him. She felt like she was a villain. She didn't need Benedict to do this for her at all. Besides, they haven't known each other for a long time. Even if he liked her... he shouldn't have done this.
Valeria completed the discharge procedures for both of them. During the process, the doctor had been trying to persuade them, "Although it seems like there is nothing serious now, I still advise you to stay longer for additional checks. Anyway, there are only a few days left so you can wait, right?"
In the end, they wouldn't give in. The doctor could only leave them some advice and let them go.
Kimberly left the hospital with them. Benedict had a car and when Valeria was about to ask her to get in the car, Benedict suddenly stopped her, "She's going to another place, Valeria." Upon hearing this, Valeria was stunned. "But... aren't we taking Miss Shell with us?"
Benedict stayed silent with a pale face. Kimberly blinked her eyes in embarrassment. She bit her lips and said, "It's okay, I have to go somewhere else. You guys just go ahead."
Valeria couldn't understand. Benedict obviously liked Kimberly, but why didn't he take the
opportunity to take her with him now? He was leaving her in front of the hospital all by herself. Wouldn't that be a bad move if he wanted to court Kimberly?
"Let's go," Benedict asked Valeria to get in the car. The firmness in his eyes showed his
insistence. Valeria knew that she had no choice but to get into the car.
Looking at the door closing, Kimberly waved to them.
She had nothing to be upset about because she knew the reason behind Benedict's actions. She was especially grateful to him because of it.
After the car drove away, Kimberly stared into the distance. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a girl's voice.
"Kimberly," the voice called out.
The familiar sweet voice made Kimberly pause for a moment. Then, she turned and saw Vera standing on the opposite side of the street. She stood there with a bag on her back, waving vigorously at her. She smiled when Kimberly looked over.
"I'm here!" Vera yelled. Kimberly was stunned, staring at Vera on the other side of the street.
No wonder...
No wonder Benedict could walk so casually. It turned out... he had already prepared everything for her. Her phone was gone and she hadn't contacted anyone in the past two days. Vera couldn't have known about what happened. However, she was here now which meant that Benedict had arranged for her to meet Kimberly here.
"I didn't expect... he had planned out everything," Kimberly thought to herself.
Kimberly's eyes went red. She wanted to walk over, but Vera suddenly shouted at her, "Stay there and don't move. I'm coming."
Vera then walked all the way up to Kimberly. She ran to Kimberly and stuffed a bag into her hands.
"Here, this is yours," she said.
Kimberly took it and had a look, only to find that it was her own bag.
"This... Why is it with you?" she asked.
"Why do you think it is?" Vera rolled her eyes and replied, "You're cute. You're not even surprised I'm here but yet you can't figure out why your bag is with me?"

Kimberly was speechless for a moment.
"Come on. You've lost weight after staying in the hospital for two days and your mouth is bruised... Oh, come to my place. I'll make you some soup," Vera said.
Kimberly was moved and she followed Vera back to her place.
After arriving at Vera's place, as she had said, Vera made her soup and served her. In fact, although she was in the hospital for the past two days, Brenna had prepared her meals for her. She actually felt like she was staying at home. However, Vera's soup made her feel even warmer.
"As for what happened to you... Vice President Yardley told me about it," Vera said.
Vera suddenly spoke up and Kimberly froze.
"What are you thinking? Vice President Yardley treats you so well. Are you really not going to give him a chance? Or do you want to go back to Young Master Yardley?" Vera asked.
Kimberly kept her silence and put down the bowl. "What if it was you? Would you just give up on the person you like?"
"Of course not," Vera answered very quickly. After saying that, she froze for a moment before laughing, "Well, I get it. It's not hard to like someone in this world. What's hard is to love each other. You and Young Master Yardley are in love, it's better not to part ways because of misunderstandings. I'll accompany you to find him. Let's talk to him to clear things up."
"I appreciate it." Kimberly nodded and responded, "I just don't know if he's willing to see me now... It's been two days already."
"Yeah, it's been two days already. Even if he was angry, his anger should have subsided by now, so don't you worry too much. We will definitely be able to see him for sure." Vera comforted her gently.
"I hope so," Kimberly replied.
After dinner, the two of them cleaned up and went to the Ocean Villa together.
When they reached Ocean Villa, the people at the door looked at her strangely. Sam was not there, but they still wouldn't let her in.
"Is Maddox still unwilling to see me? Has he given you any new commands?" Kimberly asked.
One of them said weakly, "Yes he did."
"What is it?" Kimberly asked.
"Hmm... He said... you are no longer our Young Madam. If you come here again, he asked us to... drive you away," the guard hesitated before speaking.
Upon hearing this, Kimberly's face instantly turned pale, and her lips trembled. "Did... did he really say that?"
"Of course we won't do that, but please don't make things difficult for us. Miss Shell... If he refuses to see you, you'd better leave," the guard answered.
"What are you talking about? These are the words from Young Master Yardley in a fit of anger, do you understand? If he really doesn't care about Kimberly, why would he bother to keep giving these commands? It's obvious that he is still furious right now. It will be hard to meet him now..." Vera propped up her chin on her hand as she was thinking. Then, she suddenly asked, "Is he inside now? Or did he go out?" The guards thought Vera's words made sense, so they did not dare to offend Kimberly. They could only nod and replied, "Young Master Yardley went out early in the morning."
"Alright, he only ordered them to keep you out of the Ocean Villa. He didn't mention you're not allowed to go to the Yardley Corporation, did he? Let's go to the company now. We must find him," Vera said.
