After saving Kimberly from the women's grasps, Benedict realized that she was covered in bruises. There were also red marks all over her body, which were ghastly looking. "What happened?" Benedict clutched her slender wrist and asked nervously.

Kimberly couldn't care less about their affair right now. She promptly grabbed him and said anxiously, "There's an accident over there. Ask the security guards to move the iron shelve over immediately." Benedict turned around and looked at the direction Kimberly indicated. His sight instantly filled with the bloody scene. He frowned and ordered, "Someone move that iron shelf away. Quick."

He then turned to Kimberly and asked, "What's going on? It was just a short lunch break. How did you get this injured?"

Kimberly shook her head. "I don't have time to explain it to you now. Can you send her to the hospital?"

Although she very much hated Bianca, she couldn't afford to let something happen to her here. Otherwise, the entire Yardley Corporation might be implicated. What's more, Vera was involved. Kimberly didn't care much about what would happen to herself, but she did not want to give anyone else trouble! "Okay, I'll get the car. Wait here for me," Benedict said.

He quickly let go of her hand and headed for his car. However, the hospital was just nearby to Yardley Corporation. The ambulance arrived before Benedict could get his car. When the paramedics saw Bianca's situation, they immediately bandaged the wound. After that, they placed her on a stretcher and carried her onto the ambulance.

Kimberly quickly followed. When she walked towards the ambulance, she bumped into Benedict who was just driving out from the parking lot. He rolled down the window and said, "Get in the car. I'll take you to the hospital."

"Okay!" Kimberly nodded, opened the door and quickly got into the car.

"I'm going too!" Vera ran after Kimberly. When she saw Kimberly was in the car, she immediately got into it as well.

Bump!

Kimberly looked at her in shock as she shut the car door.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to go back to your office?" Kimberly said.

Vera gave her a hard stare. "I will not let you take all the blame. I am not going to let you do that. If she wants you to take the responsibility for this mess, I'm in this with you."

Vera gritted her teeth and added, "Anyway, I must own up to what I did. There is nothing to be afraid of. In the worst-case scenario... I'll compensate with my life." "Nonsense!" Kimberly held her hand and said calmly, "Back then, it was chaotic. We'll have to wait for further investigation to replace out if it was really us who pushed her to the ground. If you want to come with us, fine. But if anything happens, you must not stand up to it, and don't you rashly admit it."

Vera didn't understand, but then she slowly recalled the scene and questioned, "Do you mean it might not be us who pushed her?"

"We cannot be sure, but most likely not." Kimberly tried to recall the details. "We were both being held and beaten up back then. We could not even shield ourselves. It's very unlikely for us to be the ones who pushed her."

"That's right." Although he didn't know the whole story, Benedict had grasped what was going on upon hearing their conversation. He nodded in agreement and said, "We shouldn't make any rash conclusion. Let's go to the hospital first and see what's going on. I'll contact the professionals later. Calm down."

Vera looked at Benedict, deeply moved by his words. Then she held Kimberly's arm and whispered, "Brother Yardley is much more reliable than Young Master Yardley, and he is far more of a gentleman." Although she said this to Kimberly in a very low voice, they were in the car after all. The space was confined and Benedict could hear what she said.

As expected, Kimberly saw Benedict looking at her in the rearview mirror. She whispered back to Vera, "Don't talk nonsense." Vera pursed her lips and stopped talking.

They followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital. While getting out of the car, Kimberly staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Benedict was quick to grab her before she fell, "Are you okay?"

Vera also came out of the car. "Kimberly is badly injured. Why don't we take care of her wounds first?"

"I'm fine." Kimberly struggled to stand up. She must have been fueled by adrenaline just now that she did not felt the pain in her knee until now. It must have barked, that she was feeling so much pain. "It's nothing, I was careless. Let's go in and check things out."

Benedict frowned and realized how critical the situation is. He nodded, "Okay, let's head inside. If there is nothing serious over there, I want both of you to have your wounds taken care of." "Alright," Kimberly replied.

Kimberly pushed him away stealthily and quickly rushed into the hospital.

When Kimberly saw Bianca being pushed into the operating room, she suddenly thought of a person. Should she call Jonathan?

"Kimberly, what are you thinking about?" Vera asked.

Kimberly came back to her senses. Then she said, "I was thinking... Should I inform her husband?"

"What? Do you know her husband? But she said..." Vera stuttered. She was about to say 'you're the mistress' before she stopped herself.

Fortunately, Vera bit her tongue and looked at Kimberly. "Do you think it is appropriate to call her husband? After all... we might have been the reason this happened."

Kimberly thought about it for a moment and took out her mobile phone. "I'll send him a message then."

Benedict watched her from aside, his eyes full of adoration.

"Do whatever you want. Don't worry. It's not your fault anyway," Benedict said.

Kimberly couldn't help but look at him.

"Am I right? She was the one who brought those women to the company and caused trouble. She can only blame herself for this," Benedict added. "That's right, Kimberly. I think you should call Young Master Yardley instead to tell him you are safe. He is your husband after all," Vera said. Vera's unintentional words made Benedict's expression turn grim. Vera paused for a moment and said sheepishly, "Or... or don't." Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She glanced at Vera speechlessly, felt like telling her to not be so fickle.

However, Vera's words reminded her that since this incident had happened in Yardley Corporation, it was a must for her to report to Maddox.

Kimberly thought for awhile. She wanted to give Maddox a call, but she hesitated. Unexpectedly, Benedict suddenly reached out and took her mobile phone. His voice was gentle.

"I think it's better if we tell Maddox about this," he said.

He dialed Maddox's number. Kimberly paused and said, "Let me do it."

Maddox answered the call the moment Kimberly asked for the phone. Because they were standing close to each other, Kimberly could hear Maddox's husky voice. "What's up?"

Kimberly was just about to speak when Benedict said, "It's me."

The other side of the phone was silent for a moment. After a short pause, Maddox sneered, "Why do you have her phone?"

"We are at the hospital," Benedict replied.
