Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 234
Maddox brought Kimberly into an office. She was just wondering how he could simply enter when she heard a familiar voice.
"What are you two doing here?"
Kimberly realized that they had entered Abigail's office.
She did not expect to meet her here. All of a sudden, Kimberly felt Maddox's aunt was everywhere.
"Oh my, Kimberly. What happened to you?" Abigail was shocked when she saw Kimberly's injuries.
Her reaction was far bigger compared to when she had gone to the traditional medical doctor. This time, her injuries were mainly on the outside, bruises and scratches. They were all over her face, neck, arms, and legs. It looked horrible. It was as if she had gone through a terrible invasion.
"Maddox, didn't I tell you to take care of your wife? Is this how you take care of her?" Abigail demanded reproachfully.
Maddox was speechless.
With Abigail's accusation, only did he realize he hadn't done his part to protect her. He didn't think too much about what had happened before, but this time... seeing her covered in scars...
Maddox's eyes darkened. He said in a gloomy voice, "Please treat her injuries." "Of course, but you will have to get out," Abigail said as she pushed Maddox out of the room. She then closed the door and started to treat Kimberly's injuries.
"Take off your clothes. I want to thoroughly check your wounds," Abigail said.
Because she had previously taken her clothes off in front of Abigail, Kimberly didn't hesitate too much this time. She unbuttoned her shirt right away. She felt pain when her clothes brushed her skin. "Wait a second!" Abigail stopped her and stepped forward to take a look, "Who did this to you? This is relentless. Your shirt is stuck in the wound. Don't tug it. Let me help you."
Kimberly couldn't see her back, so she could only let Abigail help her. Although Abigail had been gentle and careful, Kimberly still frowned in pain. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying out in pain. After a long while, Abigail said, "Done."
After taking Kimberly's clothes off, Abigail took a look at her back. She couldn't help but shut her eyes at the gory sight. Then, she sat Kimberly down in a chair and went out to get the medicine.
When Abigail saw Maddox as she went out to get the medicine, she kicked him angrily.
Maddox felt pain, but he just frowned.
"I won't nag you this time, but you should go in and take a look at her wound," Abigail said and then turned around. She went for the supply closet in search of the medicine.
Maddox sat there and paused. He remembered Kimberly's appearance from earlier. In fact, just looking at the wounds that were exposed, he could roughly decipher how bad the injuries underneath her clothes
were.
After retrieving the medicine, Abigail came back and found Maddox sitting there motionlessly. She was fuming while she chided, "You dummy!"
Then, she went straight into the office. Maddox had been waiting outside, at the same time waiting to hear updates from Sam.
After Abigail had sterilized Kimberly's wounds, she applied medicine to them. It took a long time to treat each of them. Kimberly was still concerned about Bianca's condition. When Abigail was done, she quickly put on her clothes and slipped out of bed.
"I'm sorry to have trouble you so much. Thank you," Kimberly said.
"We are family. There is no need to thank me. It's just that... you can't be in contact with water for the time being, and you need to clean and apply medicine to your wounds every day," Abigail replied. Kimberly nodded. "Okay, I got it."
"By the way, apart from these wounds on your body, do you feel any discomfort anywhere else?" Abigail suddenly asked.
Kimberly was stunned. She did not feel any discomfort anywhere else...
"Well, judging by your expression, it seems no. However, you have to be careful. After all, you're pregnant. You'd better... avoid this kind of situation in the future." If Abigail did not bring up the pregnancy, Kimberly would have totally forgotten about. It was because she had seen the group of women storming towards her, that was why she had decided to fight them. She didn't know when she had become so impulsive. She wanted to deal with it peacefully in the beginning, but later on... things went out of control.
"Okay, I know." Kimberly nodded. She had to keep in mind that she was pregnant.
When she saw Kimberly was eager to leave the room, Abigail couldn't help but say, "Just stay here and rest for a while. I have a surgery session I need to attend to. I'll come back and check if there's any infection in your wounds."
"But..." Kimberly hesitated.
"Whatever it is you are worried about, I'll tell Maddox for you," Abigail said.
Kimberly replied reluctantly," Alright. Thank you, Auntie."
Maddox stayed outside the office for a long time. Sam brought him news that Bianca had safely delivered her baby. A baby girl. Now, Jonathan was a mess upon hearing the news. Both the baby and mother were fine. Kimberly no longer had to worry about potential murder.
"Kimberly has nothing to worry about now, but... it's the opposite case for those people. They injured her so badly. Do they think they can walk away from this?" Maddox thought.
"I see. I want you to send a couple guys there to keep an eye, and I want you to get to the bottom of After he had ordered Sam over the phone and hung up the call, Maddox saw Abigail coming out of the office. He pursed his lips and asked, "How is she doing?"
"Well, at least you seemed to care. I thought you didn't want your wife and the child anymore!" Abigail mocked.
Maddox frowned. "Who said I didn't want them?"
"Then, what are you doing?" Abigail asked, "I've told you countless times that as the man of the house, you should protect your wife at all costs. But look at what you have done?"
"I don't even know what she has been doing." Maddox answered impatiently, "She has been acting weird recently."
"Oh? Acting weird? Tell me about it."
Maddox glanced at his aunt. Ever since his mother had passed away, Abigail was his only true relative. Whenever he was confused or lost, he did not know who to confide in. Perhaps, his problems could be solved after confiding in Abigail.
Maddox's eyes darkened as he thought about it. After a short while, he told Abigail about Kimberly's recent behavior.
Abigail narrowed her eyes slightly. "So? You are not happy that she is behaving normally?"
"It's strange," Maddox pursed his lips and answered unhappily. "It's indeed strange." Abigail nodded and suddenly sneered at him, "But have you ever thought why she was acting like this? As your aunt, I can assure you that a woman is indeed sentimental and sensitive. If she suddenly becomes like this, it must be one of these three reasons. Firstly, she must have already made up her mind about something. Secondly, you must have done something that disappointed her and lastly, it must have been something you said. Besides, it's not easy for a person to change. Do you remember what you did to make her change?"
What did he do?
Maddox pursed his lips. He couldn't figure out what he had possibly done.
Abigail added, "Whatever it is, I am telling you the truth. Since you married her, you should enjoy your marriage. Unless... you really want to divorce her..."
