Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 317

A thousand voices sounded in Kimberly's mind. "I'm pregnant with his child, but you're pregnant with an illegitimate child. Do you think he would choose you over me?"

"He doesn't want to see you and you can never step into this door again. From now on, you will no longer be the Young Ma'dam. Please leave."

"This is a divorce contract. If you sign it, we will cut ties with each other forever."

"You're married to the Yardley family. If Erica hadn't given you this chance, would you have qualified to be the second mistress of the Yardley family? What's wrong with me asking you to help me pay off some gambling debts? Isn't it the right I have for raising you?"

"Look at your ugly face. Do you think there's any man who would like you? Your own husband didn't even touch you for two years. Didn't you figure out why?"

"Get lost. Get out of my house and never come back."

"No, don't do that..." Kimberly pleaded in her mind.

All the memories from the past flashed across her mind one by one, seizing the weakness in her heart and attacking her with full force.

"Don't... Don't throw me out, please..." She pleaded again. Benedict, who was staying by Kimberly's bed, had already heard her countless murmurs that evening. "Don't, don't send me away..." She cried repeatedly.

Benedict sighed as he heard that. His eyes were full of grievance.

Since he took Kimberly back to the hospital, she had a high fever, and it hadn't subsided. As she was pregnant, she couldn't take certain medicine, but only physical cooling.

Benedict had stayed with her for a long time. After more than an hour, her fever didn't get better but grew worse instead.

The nurse had been taking care of her. At this time, she couldn't help looking at Benedict and reminded him, "Sir, you have been staying here for more than an hour. Your body won't be able to take it. You'd better go have some rest. I'll be guarding her here."

"I'm fine." Benedict pursed his thin lips and shook his head. "I can't rest assured if her fever doesn't get better."

"I'll be taking care of her. She will definitely be fine. It's not a good idea for you to stay here like this. If you continue to stay here, your body will not be able to stand it."

Benedict did not speak again. His gaze had not left Kimberly for even a moment. He had been changing the wet cloth for her and applying it to her forehead.

The young nurse felt helpless. This man was too stubborn to listen to her. This duo was already injured and yet they ran out together. Furthermore, when they came back, both of them were soaked. The woman had a high fever and fainted, while the man's wounds were infected. However, he did not want to have them treated. Instead, he had been calmly doing physical cooling for the woman, giving the nurse a headache.

"Sir, don't blame me for saying something unpleasant. You're covered in wounds from head to toe, and you're drenched. If your wounds get infected later, you'll also get a high fever. When that happens, do you think you won't infect her with your own sickness? Don't forget she's pregnant," the nurse said.

Hearing what she said, Benedict paused. He seemed to be moved by her words.

Seeing this, the nurse quickly advised, "Sir, please leave it to me. I will take good care of her. You should have your wounds taken care of first."

Only then did Benedict nod his head and pass her the handkerchief.

The nurse finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the patient she was assigned to. She would feel sorry if something really went wrong with him.

Benedict didn't go far. Both of them were in the same ward, and he was on the bed next to hers. The nurse found a doctor to treat his wounds, and she took care of Kimberly herself.

Although someone had treated Benedict's wounds, he still kept his eyes on Kimberly.

"You should lie down and have a rest. You're having a fever now." The doctor patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to lie down.

Benedict couldn't be at ease and continued to stare at Kimberly. "If you don't take your treatment seriously and fall ill later, who will keep an eye on her? Therefore, you need to get well soon. You are in good health and will not faint as long as you receive proper treatment," the doctor added.

Only then did Benedict accept the fact that he needed to rest.

After all this, the doctor finally treated the wounds on Benedict's body, and Kimberly's fever also slowly subsided. However, she seemed to have been in a nightmare the whole while and kept on talking in her sleep. Her forehead was sweating profusely.

Another nurse was assigned to the ward soon after. She got together with the first nurse who talked to Benedict earlier and left the room, chatting away as they left.

"Oh my, this man is really affectionate and has great perseverance. He hasn't fallen down even though he's injured like that. Just how strong is his will? I couldn't possibly bear it if it was me," the second nurse said.

"Hey, you don't understand. Some men can really give up their lives for their loved ones. The way he looked at that girl was so deep that I almost had a crush on him. How come I can't meet such a man? He's so affectionate and handsome," answered the first nurse.

"Well, let's stop talking about this. If the head nurse hears us, we'll be in trouble," the second nurse replied.

"Ah, I wasn't gossiping. I was just sighing."

"Not even that. The head nurse will accuse you of having nothing to do. Let's go."

They walked away as they spoke.

It was already early in the morning. The hospital corridor was still very quiet. In addition to the sound of medical equipment, there was only the sound of the patients' breathing. Benedict was lying on his side on the bed, looking at Kimberly who was not far from him. She was in the bed opposite his.

He was really tired after the eventful night. He felt extremely drowsy especially after taking all the medicine the doctor gave him and his eyelids were as heavy as lead.

The moment he realized he was about to fall asleep, Benedict immediately forced opened his eyes.

"No, I can't sleep yet. Who will look after Kimberly if I fall asleep? What if she wakes up and runs away again?" He thought.

It was still raining outside. She already had a high fever and her body couldn't take any more injuries.

"I'll just force myself to stay awake for now," he thought.

Benedict wanted to call his secretary Valeria, but his phone was out of power. He had no choice but to borrow a phone from the nurse when she came to check the room.

Although it was early in the morning, Valeria rushed over as soon as she received his phone call.

"Vice President Yardley, what is going on?" Valeria was shocked when she saw this scene. Both of them were still enjoying their meal in the restaurant when she went there to drop off some documents, and now they were both sick and injured over the course of just one night.

"It's quite complicated. Anyway, I need your help now," Benedict said.

Valeria nodded immediately. "Just tell me what to do. I'm here at your service."

"I'm sorry. I know this is not your working hour but I really need your help now," Benedict apologized.
