Kimberly lay in his arms motionlessly. The medicine had rendered her wholly unconscious and feeble.

Maddox unfastened his buttons. His movement was slow and steady, like a piece of obsolete machinery.

With her half-lidded eyes, Kimberly watched him quietly.

Their bodies became so hot. They felt like breathing out fire.

After unbuttoning the last button, Maddox suddenly stood up from the wheelchair with Kimberly in his arms.

Kimberly was so confused at that time. She did not even realize how a disabled man could suddenly stand up from the wheelchair.

Maddox carried her to the enormous bed in the room, and then she was left on the soft mattress.

There was a soft pillow under her head while on top of her was a massive body that was hot to the touch. The strong scent of the man enveloped her, and his warm hand on her waist was like a ball of flame, burning hot.

"I'll ask you one last time. Have you really made up your mind?" Maddox asked.

Kimberly did not answer him.

"You don't regret it?" Maddox asked again. It seemed that he was talking to himself, but Maddox just wanted to tease her.

He narrowed his eyes while he leaned closer to her. When his thin lips were just above her upper lip, he asked in a bare whisper, "Do you know who I am? If you can't say it, I won't save you." Still, Kimberly had no reaction.

"Hmm?" Maddox lifted her, and his big hand deftly removed the button on her back. "Who am I?" he queried.

"Er..." Kimberly uttered as she struggled to open her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.

The figure before her was blurry, and then it slowly overlapped.

Maddox heard her whispering, "Mad... Maddox Yardley..."

Feeling satisfied, his thin lips slightly sucked her upper lip and said, "Good girl."

He finally stopped torturing her.

Like a mountaineer, he avoided all of the obstacles nimbly and went straight to the top of the mountain expeditiously.

When he finally arrived, Kimberly felt that there was a stabbing pain somewhere in her body, which sobered her for about two seconds with her eyes wide open.

At the moment, Maddox's eyes were glimmering like the stars.

Kimberly was stunned at the sight. She stared straight at him with her beautiful eyes. He whispered to her, and his voice was hoarse.

"Remember this moment, no matter where you go or who you are."

Kimberly had a long dream.

In her dream, she turned into a little white rabbit and lost her way in the mountain forest. Then, she ran into a big grey wolf. The wolf looked like it was starving. It frightened the little white rabbit, and it turned around and ran away.

But its legs were too short, so it did not manage to escape from the big grey wolf.

Soon, the big grey wolf caught it.

Then, it swallowed the little white rabbit alive and there was not even a bone left behind.

Kimberly was frightened awake by the nightmare. She woke up and snapped her eyes open!

She then found out that she was in a room with white surroundings. The instrument next to her was making noises, and she could smell the disinfectants in the room.

It was the hospital!

"But... why am I here?" she thought.

Kimberly wanted to sit up, but her legs were strangely sore. She was aching all over, and it felt like her body was about to fall apart. She could not move at all.

"Second Young Madam, you're finally awake," said Auntie Cherry while opening the door with a thermos in hand, glancing at her gently. Seeing Auntie Cherry, Kimberly nodded at her to greet her.

Then, she lowered her head and began to recall what had happened. She remembered she went to the dinner party with Maddox, and then she was taken away by Chandler...

Soon, Kimberly was flooded with all the bad memories of what had happened after she was being taken away, and she screamed out uncontrollably. Startled, Auntie Cherry hurriedly put the thermos on the table and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Shall I call a doctor?" Kimberly grabbed her wrist and asked nervously, "Where is Maddox? Where is he? Where did he go?"

She remembered that Chandler had lit up an aphrodisiac incense in the room, saying that he wanted Maddox to endure the pain he had never suffered.

Kimberly knew exactly how suffering it was! She remembered that Maddox went to save her later, but she could not remember the details after that. All the memories were scattering in her head and she could not remember them at all.

"Second Young Madam, calm down. The Second Young Master has gone home to wash up. He should be here soon," Auntie Cherry comforted her.

Gone home to wash up? Blinking her eyes, Kimberly asked, "Is he alright?"

Auntie Cherry did not know what had happened to them. She looked at Kimberly doubtfully and said, "What could happen to Second Young Master? Second Young Madam, you're out of condition. You've been admitted to the hospital quite a few times recently. After you get discharged, I'll make some soup for you to nourish your health."

Kimberly froze as she was unable to react to what Auntie Cherry had said.

Maddox was alright?

"Didn't he enter that room? But, it also makes sense. Given that he didn't stay for long, he would not be affected by the incense," Kimberly thought.

"But... would Chandler let him come out of the room without a scratch?" she wondered.

"And..."

The more she thought about it, the more Kimberly's head hurt. This was because she truly could not remember what happened last night.

"Second Young Madam, don't overthink. Lie down and rest. Are you feeling ill? Shall I call the doctor?" Auntie Cherry queried.

Upon hearing Auntie Cherry's question, Kimberly came to her senses and shook her head. She replied, "No, Auntie Cherry. I'm alright, you don't need to call a doctor."

"Then, how about drinking some soup?" Auntie Cherry asked.

Auntie Cherry then stood up, opened the thermos to serve a bowl of mushroom soup for Kimberly. Kimberly was feeling a little hungry too, so she nodded and reached out to take the mushroom soup politely. Quietly, she drank the mushroom soup. All of a sudden, she asked, "Will Maddox... be here later?"

Auntie Cherry smiled and said, "Yes, Second Young Master told me that he will come back soon and has let me take good care of you."

Kimberly heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he would come back.

She had a lot of questions to ask him.

While she was drinking the mushroom soup, Auntie Cherry suddenly said, "Second Young Madam, I have to advise you that you young people should be more disciplined. Don't admit to the hospital because o that kind of thing. It's not good for your health if you keep on doing that for an extended period."

Kimberly was startled upon hearing her words and she stopped drinking the soup. She tilted her head slightly and wondered, "That kind of thing?"

"That kind of thing, refers to... what?" she pondered.

"Well, I understand that you are newly married, but you still have to restrain yourselves. After all, there will be a long way to go and there is plenty of time. Second Young Madam, I'm speaking as an experienced person. Are you angry with me?" Auntie Cherry added.

Kimberly put down the mushroom soup in her hand and asked, "Auntie Cherry, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Auntie Cherry was speechless.

"How should I tell her?" Auntie Cherry thought for a long time and suddenly pointed to Kimberly's neck. Kimberly lowered her head in the direction she pointed subconsciously, but she could not see anything. Auntie Cherry said, "Oh, my dear Second Young Madam. In short, young people should be more disciplined. You should keep my word in mind."

Kimberly felt that Auntie Cherry was acting strange. She did not understand what she was talking about at all.

She went to the bathroom after she finished the mushroom soup. When she saw herself in the mirror, Kimberly suddenly realized what Auntie Cherry was saying just now!
