Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 154

Kimberly continued to nod her head in confusion.

After nodding, she felt there was something amiss with his questions.

Then, her eyesight became clearer and she slowly saw Maddox in front of her.

What... did he just ask?

Maddox got the two answers that he wanted. Even though he did not want to admit it, he was in a very good mood. His thin lips curved into a beautiful smile as he said, "Miss-Married-Twice, you are in love." Kimberly suddenly widened her eyes and pushed him away.

She exclaimed, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Being pushed, Maddox fell back into his wheelchair.

He smirked, "Oh, nonsense? You can't hide your feelings, Miss-Married-Twice. You like me."

Kimberly covered her ears and yelled angrily, "I don't like you. Stop being so arrogant. How can I ever like someone like you?"

Maddox pursed his lips, "Is that so? So, who was it that admitted just now that she liked me?"

Kimberly retorted, "You were just taking advantage of the situation!"

Maddox shrugged, "Was I taking? Or can you not control your own feelings? Or..."

"Stop talking!" Kimberly blurted anxiously, "How can I like a disabled person like you?"

The mischievous smile on Maddox's face vanished instantly once he heard that. A dark current surged through his eyes like a violent storm, making huge waves in the ocean. Kimberly also felt that the surroundings became incredibly cold.

She finally realized what she had said.

She stammered anxiously, "Urn... What I just said, I did not..."

Mean it.

Maddox's eyes were as dark as a black-hole. There was a thick darkness in them, one that wouldn't go away.

He stared deadly at her.

He uttered after a while, "Turns out, you are the same as the rest of them."

Kimberly bit her lower lip and shook her head forcefully.

She didn't. She had never thought of hurting him.

She had even tried to protect him when other people were teasing him. How could she possibly think of hurting him by saying he was disabled? However... his legs were disabled and he was sitting in a wheelchair.

This was the one pain in his heart, but she had just blurted such hurtful words at him. Maddox continued, "Oh, Miss-Married-Twice, is that why you always didn't want me to touch you?"

"No!" Kimberly panicked as she understood that she had accidentally hurt him. She regretted saying that and wanted to explain everything to him, "Will you listen to my explanation? I was a little anxious just now, so I spoke without thinking."

"This is the truth." Maddox said firmly with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Didn't the Shell family ask you to marry on behalf of your sister? Do you feel wronged? After all, if you marry someone who is disabled, the rest of your life will be ruined. Is that why you want to run away with Big Brother for a better future?"

Kimberly shook her head in denial. She was already very anxious and she tried again, "Maddox, don't say that. I've never thought that before."

Maddox remained sneering. He obviously did not believe her explanation.

Ever since she said those words, his perspective towards Kimberly had changed.

Usually, women always secretly despised him because he was bound to a wheelchair. Although they always approached him, it was obvious that they just wanted a piece of the Yardley family's property. They couldn't even hide the despise in their eyes.

Kimberly was different. She would argue and get into fights just because someone had teased him. Then and there. Maddox had suddenly felt that... there was a chance that she was different from the others. But he didn't expect that she would say those words herself on this day.

His heart was confused. Maddox felt like the ward was suffocating him.

He rolled the wheelchair away, a blank expression on his face.

Behind him came the anxious cry of a woman. She sounded very nervous.

"Maddox, come back. Please listen to me. What I said just now, it was unintentional!"

Unintentional?

Well, even if it was unintentional...

It was what she thought in her heart.

Otherwise, how could she blurt it out?

Maddox made his decision and left the ward quickly. In the ward, Kimberly was gasping anxiously. She called Maddox's name for a long time, but he ignored her. Kimberly lowered her eyes and stared at the white sheets in a daze.

She regretted it.

She shouldn't have said that, but she didn't know what was happening. When she saw his vicious smile, she knew that he was up to no good again.

If he knew her thoughts, he would keep making fun of her.

Kimberly didn't want to be laughed at any more, so... she said it out of impulse.

That's right, Kimberly finally could not restrain herself. She had fallen in love with him.

For so many years, Maddox was the first person that could reach Kimberly's heart.

Of course, she had liked Jonathan before. But at that time, she thought Jonathan was good in all aspects and should be a caring husband, so she agreed to get married to him. But it turned out to be a plain marriage. The conflicts only started when they were filing for divorce.

However, ever since she married into the Yardley family, Maddox had done a lot of things for her. He had protected her from harm and would stand up to fight for her against others. Although she knew he did all that just to save his face... she still couldn't control her emotions.

Kimberly lay back on the quilt, desperate tears rolling down her cheeks.

She was not qualified to be with him.

She was a divorced woman with another man's child in her belly.

Even Kimberly despised herself for being so impure.

But why couldn't she control her feelings?

Maddox didn't show up later that night. He did not even come back the next day. She was left alone in the empty ward. Kimberly's face and lips were very pale. The doctor came to check on her and asked about her family members.

Kimberly didn't say anything either. The doctor had no choice but to make a phone call. After a while, Vera came.

"What's going on? When I left last night, you were still fine. Why did you suddenly..." Seeing her pale face, Vera was scared. She asked worriedly, "You didn't get worse, did you?"

"I'm fine." Kimberly shook her head and said, "Can I get discharged today? I don't like staying in the hospital."

It was immensely boring, and there was no one to keep her company.

She felt a strong sense of desolation.

More importantly, she wanted to explain to Maddox about what she had said last night.

Kimberly said, "Vera, can you accompany me to sign the forms?"

"But your body..." Vera asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"

Kimberly assured her, "If there's something wrong with me, I'll tell you... Don't worry."

"Well... okay." Finally, Vera couldn't refuse her pleas. She accompanied Kimberly to go through the discharge formalities, and then they went their separate ways.

Kimberly went straight back to the Yardley family. She knew that Maddox usually wouldn't have gone to the company yet around this hour. If she could replace him, she could explain and tell him about her thoughts.
