Chapter 109
"Sexual problems?" Maddox's gaze became sharp and stern. "Who told you that?" He probed.
His piercing gaze forced Kimberly to swallow unknowingly, replying, "The people said so."
"Oh, so you believe whatever the people say? There's no problem with me in that aspect. Don't you know that?" Maddox questioned again.
He grabbed her wrist abruptly and placed her hand at his private part. She screamed out of surprise and wanted to snatch her hand back!
"Feel it and tell me if I have any sexual problems!" Maddox said. It was more like an order than a question.
Kimberly's mind went blank. There was no time to think about feeling him. She was so scared that she lowered her head and took a bite on his shoulder. Then, she pulled back her hand quickly while he was still in shock at her sudden action.
"Maddox, you're such a pervert!" Kimberly screamed.
"I'm a pervert? Why didn't you say I was a pervert when you asked for my help last night?" Maddox laughed evilly and lowered his head to bite her small chin, asking, "Do you really think you're a wild cat, that you can bite me whenever you want?"
Kimberly's face was so red that it almost dripped blood. Why did she feel that... his attitude toward her was so different than usual?
"Remember!" Maddox leaned into her ear and said in a firm tone, "From today onward, you are Maddox Yardley's woman."
Kimberly's heart skipped a beat.
"What did he say?" She thought.
"In the future, you are not allowed to have any relationship with others anymore. Not your ex- husband, Benedict, or any other man," Maddox warned.
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
"If I find out that you have a relationship with anyone else, or that you are disloyal to me..."
Knock knock—
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the ward. Maddox raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Sam's voice sounded from outside, "Young Master Yardley, it's almost time for your meeting."
"Got it," Maddox responded.
He looked at Kimberly, who was still in a daze. He reached out and flicked at her forehead, asking, "Did you hear me?"
Kimberly hadn't come back to her senses yet, but when she heard this sentence, she reached out her hand to cover her forehead and nodded.
"Stay in the hospital today. I'll send someone to guard you. I'll pick you up after work," Maddox added. "...Oh," Kimberly responded.
After Maddox left, Kimberly still couldn't react. What had happened?
She sat on the bed and slowly put together what had happened the day before. Maddox's words repeated continuously in her mind.
Last night, she was drugged, and the room was also lit with aphrodisiac incense. Chandler thought that Maddox was incompetent, therefore he put the drug on him deliberately to torture him. He planned to hurt her in the process as well. However, Maddox was fine all this while. Kimberly was also fine when she woke up, and there were love bites on her body for some reason.
Then, Maddox told her that from that day on, she was his woman.
Does that mean they were together last night?
When she thought about Maddox leaving those marks on her body, her face became burning hot instantly.
"Oh my god."
She had thought that God was just playing a joke on her.
She didn't expect...
She didn't expect Maddox to be the one who had been with her last night.
For a moment, she did not know whether she should be happy or sad.
*
She stayed alone in the hospital for more than half a day. Later, she got really bored and decided to apply to be discharged.
However, she was informed that she could not leave the hospital before Maddox came back. She had to wait for him here.
As a result, she had to return to her ward and endure an entire day of boredom.
When she came back from the bathroom, her legs were shaking slightly. She looked at the marks again. They weren't only on her neck. The marks covered her entire body. Her trembling legs also indicated how crazy things got last night.
However, she could not recall much of the incident. She could only vaguely remember Maddox asking her if she was comfortable and if she still wanted to...
Then she...
Kimberly felt very ashamed.
She felt that she was too ashamed to face Maddox ever again.
While she was thinking about this, she heard a voice coming from outside. It sounded like a wheelchair moving.
"He's off work?" Kimberly thought.
Her expression instantly changed and she closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
"Second Young Master, welcome back. Second Young Madam has been idle for an entire day. She should have fallen asleep by now," Auntie Chery said. "Thank you, Auntie Cherry!" Kimberly cheered silently. She should be able to continue sleeping and escape from Maddox.
"Okay."
There was no emotion in his deep, cold voice.
Soon, the sound of the wheelchair became softer, and it stopped in front of her bed. Kimberly lay still, continuing to pretend to be asleep.
"You can go out now," Maddox said.
Kimberly heard two people's footsteps walking out. Those would belong to Sam and Auntie Cherry.
After that, the ward fell into silence. After a while, Kimberly heard the sound of pages flipping. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Maddox adjusting his sitting position. His head was buried in a magazine.
Kimberly was speechless.
"What the h*ll? Isn't he going to leave? Why is he reading a magazine here?" She was confused.
She closed her eyes again and thought, "Humph, you continue to read your magazine, and I'll continue pretending to be asleep." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Kimberly lay still, and Maddox continued to read the magazine.
Maddox flipped through the book gently. However, when he heard her breathing gradually becoming smoother and more stable, he became even more silent. Finally, he looked up and his cold gaze fell on her petite and fair face.
He knew that she was pretending to be asleep. She thought that other people couldn't notice it, but when one was asleep, their breathing was different from when they were awake. You could also tell whether they were asleep or not by their heartbeats.
This stupid woman... she thought that she was so smart.
Why did the Shell family find such a person?
Maddox narrowed his eyes slightly.
He thought of the information Sam had given him.
Kimberly's living style had always been simple. Her daily routine was ordinary. It consisted of work, buying groceries and cooking, taking care of her husband and living an ordinary life.
But the husband had another woman all along.
What's more, that marriage was built on a mountain of lies.
Before they got married, the man had already begun his affair. He probably married Kimberly just because he had quarreled with the other woman. And then the woman came back...
When the man won the lottery, the two of them finally got a divorce.
Although she had suffered a lot, how could she just marry into the Yardley family so quickly? There were a lot of people in the North City who wanted to get with the Yardley family, but most of them wanted to be with Benedict, not Maddox.
In everyone's eyes, Maddox was a good-for-nothing who had been sitting in a wheelchair for his whole life. He must have someone to take care of him every day, and he was impotent. Marrying him meant that the woman would virtually become a 'servant'. They would also not enjoy a sexual relationship.
At least, this was the case to the general public.
How could a decent girl do this to herself? Unless this was arranged with the Yardley family to covet the family's power and wealth.
But now, Kimberly's actions had confused him.
During the time when she came to the Yardley family, she didn't do a single thing that implied her ulterior motive. Instead, she did something strange every day.
Even last night...
