Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 60

After leaving Maddox's office, Kimberly Shell went back to her desk. After sitting down, she held the mouse in her hand, only to replace that her fingers were shaking. She couldn't even hold the mouse firmly. What was wrong with her? Shouldn't she already be used to his harsh words? She clearly knew that he had a bad impression of her, but sometimes Kimberly just couldn't help thinking about it.

If he really hated her so much, why did he always help her?

She could remember every little detail of how he had helped her in the past.

But every time, they would both end up being upset, because Maddox Yardley would always use harsh words on her, like what he just did...

Kimberly lowered her head, and there was selfmockery in the bottom of her eyes.

She felt that she was pathetic. If he really wanted to help her, he would not say such hurtful words to her in front of so many people. He was right. It was his decision to not collaborate with Lovis Enterprises. He helped her in the boutique because he didn't want her to embarrass the Yardley family.

She was the one., who had been thinking too much.

Suddenly, Kimberly felt a little pain in her lower abdomen and her face turned pale. She sat up straight and reached out to gently rub her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something. She... was a pregnant woman!

Since she did not have any morning sickness for the past few days, she had forgotten about the existence of this child. Otherwise... she would not have drunk last night.

She was really... too careless. Kimberly got up and went to the pantry to pour herself a cup of warm water to drink. Unfortunately, the pain did not ease. It did not hurt a lot, but the discomfort persisted. Kimberly sat down for a while. The pain did not worsen so she thought it should be fine.

However, she did not expect the pain to worsen in the afternoon. Just as Kimberly was still hesitating whether she should request for leave, Sam Sorrento suddenly came to replace her.

"Assistant Shell, we need to have this document sent to the planning department. Please send it over."

"Okay, sure." Kimberly stretched out her hand and took it with difficulty.

Sam noticed Kimberly's pale face. She looked like she was unwell. He frowned slightly and said, "Assistant Shell, you don't look well. Are you sick?"

Kimberly shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Sam asked doubtfully, "Your lips are really pale."

Upon hearing this, Kimberly took out her lipstick and added some color to her lips.

Sam:"..." D*mn it! She looked so sick just now. But after she put on the lipstick, the bright red on her lips was in sharp contrast with her pale face, making her look extremely scary.

"I'm going to deliver it now.1' Kimberly put down her lipstick, got up, and picked up the document. Then she wobbled down the stairs.

Sam was speechless at the sight of this. He scratched his head. What was she doing? She was obviously sick, but she was still acting so stubbornly. What was wrong with her?

After Sam returned to his office and reported to Maddox about his work progress, he suddenly remembered Kimberly's pale look and said, "When I went over to ask Assistant Shell to deliver the documents just now, she did not look too well."

Hearing Sam's words, Maddox's hand that was holding a pen paused for a moment. Sam didn't notice his subtle movements.

"But I asked her, and she said that she was fine. I don't know what's wrong with her. Why doesn't she say it if she is sick?"

Sam kept muttering to himself, and he finally regained his senses when he realized that no one was answering him. When he turned to Maddox, he saw Maddox looking at him coldly.

"Do you have nothing else to do?"

Seeing Maddox's cold eyes, Sam's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that he was meddling in other people's business. He scratched his head awkwardly. "No, no, I'm just..."

"Go out If you're done. Don't disturb me." Before Sam could explain himself, Maddox directly ordered him to leave.

Sam did not dare to disobey Maddox, so he could only turn around and leave the office.

After Kimberly went to the planning department to send the documents, the discomfort became even more intense. The pain in her lower abdomen seemed to be worsening. She wanted to ask for leave from Maddox, but when she thought of his indifferent face and ruthless words, Kimberly gave up on this idea.

He was already dissatisfied with her. If she asked for leave, he wouldn't agree, would he?

There was still more than an hour before she could get off work, so she... just had to endure it for a little longer.

In the end, Kimberly was in so much pain that she had to lay her head on the table and almost fainted. Fortunately, for more than an hour, Maddox didn't ask her to do anything else, so she could lie down peacefully.

It was then finally time to get off work. Kimberly began to pack up her things, and got up from her seat with difficulty and left.

When she saw Maddox coming out of his office, Kimberly pretended that she didn't see him. She let him take the elevator first and decided to wait for the next one.

When the next elevator came, she took it to the lobby and strode to the entrance of the company. Kimberly was in so much pain as if a needle was being jabbed to her lower abdomen. She couldn't help squatting down for a while.

It was really...painful.

Kimberly squatted on the side of the road and called Sylvia Hanover.

It took a long time before the phone was picked up. "Kimberly?"

"Sylvia..." Kimberly's voice sounded weak, startling Sylvia. "What's wrong with you?"

"I... I'm not feeling well. I'm at the entrance of the company. Could you..."

"Wait for me. I'll be right there."

Kimberly wanted to say something else, but Sylvia had already hung up the phone. She looked at the phone screen for a long time, and her pale lips couldn't help curling up.

She could almost imagine how Sylvia would turn around, grab her car key and run out in a hurry.

This girl...

She was so lucky to have her....

After hanging up the phone and knowing that Sylvia was on her way, Kimberly was much more relieved. However, the pain in her lower abdomen was really unbearable. Kimberly already started to sweat because of the pain.

She didn't know how long she had waited for, but Sylvia still didn't show up. Just as Kimberly was about to pass out from the pain, a familiar car stopped in front of her.

Kimberly heard the sound of a car door opening. She thought it was Sylvia who came. She looked up with a weak smile on her face, but when she saw the person, her smile froze. Maddox Yardley?

Why was he here?

"What's going on?" Maddox looked at her and asked coldly.

Kimberly opened her lips and wanted to say something, but the pain in her lower abdomen intensified. The words that reached her lips became a painful groan. Maddox's eyes dimmed a little, and he ordered Sam, "Bring her into the car."

Sam stepped forward and helped Kimberly to get up. Kimberly climbed into the car with his help. Then, Maddox also came up and closed the door.

"Assistant Shell, you look terrible. When I asked you if you were not feeling well, why didn't you tell me? You insisted on waiting until now." Sam just couldn't stop talking. Hearing this, Maddox glanced at Kimberly.

Her little face had long lost its color, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. It could be seen at a glance that she had endured the pain for a long time.

"I... I'm fine." Kimberly replied weakly. At this time, her cell phone rang. When she was about to take it out, her sight suddenly turned pitch-black, and her petite body fell forward.

"Assistant Shell!"
