Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 247

Did Benedict know that she was pregnant?

Would he suspect that this child was his? Or would this remind him about that rainy night?

Seeing that her face turned pale in an instant, Benedict frowned faintly and queried in a low-pitched voice, "Didn't you know anything about this?"

Kimberly shook her head and shrank back.

Benedict's hand paused in mid-air, he pursed his lips and questioned, "Is it Maddox's?"

Before she could answer, Benedict continued, "No, Maddox is disabled, he probably couldn't do that. Then..." His sharp gaze fell on her countenance.

"Shut up!" Kimberly exclaimed loudly before he could speak again.

Benedict was dumbfounded for a while. "Kimberly?"

Kimberly shrank herself to the corner as she hugged her knees and looked at Benedict vigilantly, "This has nothing to do with you!"

Her gaze looked as if she was guarding herself against a thief, which made Benedict's heart go cold. He stared at her, a frown wrinkling his forehead, "Do you hate me that much?"

Kimberly's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Before she could react, Benedict stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Why? What have I done to deserve this? Do you hate me that much? I have been treating you well since you entered the Yardley Family, and I even..."

Kimberly wanted to break free of his grasp, yet it was tight, unlike his usual gentle self. He held her wrist tightly and she could not get rid of it. No matter how hard she struggled, and she was mad at

once, "Even what? Benedict, let go of me."

"I even gave you my heart." Benedict stared deeply into her eyes with agony. "However, you are extremely wary of me and you hate me. Kimberly, what have I done wrong?"

Kimberly met his painful gaze with a little guilt. He had been the one coming to her rescue on her rainy days. In fact, he had been helping her ever since she joined the family, not forgetting the last time when she was humiliated by her own mother in public, and even with Jonathan.

In spite of that... she refused to admit the past, as her relationship with him was too complicated. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her eyes, nibbling on her lower lip, "Let go of me."

Benedict held her hand tightly and wouldn't let her go no matter what.

"Benedict!" Kimberly was terribly angry that her face turned pale as she yelled at him.

When Benedict heard her calling out his name, his grip loosened. After a while, he let go of her with a satisfied smile. "If you call me by my name, I won't do such a thing to you ever again. I don't want to hear you calling me big brother anymore, never ever."

Kimberly was lost for words. Kimberly got up from the bed after a long silence.

"I've been out for a long while. I should go back."

"You've already stayed out all night. Do you still want to return?"

Kimberly raised her head in shock. "It's been a night?"

"You were having a bad fever since I brought you to my private residency. I had no choice but to send you to the hospital, and the doctor said that you were having a cold and a high fever. You were unconscious the whole time, hence I could only let you stay for a night."

Kimberly's face instantly turned pale at the thought of herself staying out for a whole night. She couldn't imagine what Maddox would think about her. She tried to look around for her phone, yet she couldn't find it after looking for a long period.

"Are you looking for this?" Benedict handed over her cell phone. She grabbed it immediately and subconsciously wanted to call Maddox.

"If you are going to call Maddox, I can just tell you that there wasn't a single call from him the whole night yesterday," Benedict disclosed.

Kimberly paused for a moment and she stared at Benedict in disbelief.

"Are you disappointed? Or are you sad? You didn't go home for a whole night, yet he didn't even give you a call."

Kimberly was tongue-tied.

She looked at her mobile phone. Sure enough, her call history was empty. There was not even a single Benedict inched closer and lowered his voice, "Your marriage is actually just a deal, even so... you fell in love, am I right?"

"No!" Kimberly suddenly raised her head in denial.

She definitely did not fall in love. If she did, wouldn't it be humiliating for herself as Maddox didn't even care about her at all?

"You denied it so quickly, who would believe you?" Benedict smiled faintly yet bitterly, "You fell in love with Maddox already."

Kimberly did not have a chance to oppose it.

"Despite that, have you ever thought that it's... impossible between the both of you?" Benedict grabbed her shoulder and stared at her in a serious manner, claiming, "It's impossible for you and him to ever be together!"

"Let me go!" Kimberly spoke in an undertone.

He didn't let go of her and Kimberly yelled at him right away, "I'm asking you to let go of me!"

Benedict released his hand gently, then Kimberly took her mobile phone and jumped out of bed.

Nonetheless, she felt dizzy because she had just recovered from a high fever. Thus, she tilted forward promptly after she jumped off.

Bang!

Kimberly fell directly to the ground. Benedict's expression changed and he rushed over to catch hold of her, "Are you okay?"

"Let go of me." Kimberly pushed away his hand forcefully. "It's none of your business. You're just my big brother. Even if Maddox doesn't like me, it has nothing to do with you either!"

Kimberly pushed away Benedict with all her might as she finished her words.

Benedict's huge torso was pushed backwards and his back hit the cold hard wall. He looked at Kimberly with a painful expression and uttered, "I don't want to be your big brother at all."

Kimberly didn't want to talk to him anymore. She turned around and walked out straight away. Although she kept stumbling, she went forward step by step on her own.

Benedict stared at her back for a long time before chasing after her as he let out a sigh.

"I'll take you home."

"It's fine." Kimberly shook off his hand, "It has nothing to do with you."

"If you hate hearing these, I won't make a word anymore." Benedict raised his hand and carried her. He ignored her struggles and mentioned calmly, "You're too weak now, you should be in the hospital, but if you don't want to stay here, I'll send you back. I won't force you to do anything!"

His words seemed to calm her down a little. She looked up at Benedict's face, which was just centimeters away, and instantly stopped talking.

"Be quiet." He sighed helplessly, then left the hospital with Kimberly in his arms. He went to the parking lot, opened the door and placed her in the car, being attentive the whole time. He bent down and fastened the seat belt for her, then looked up at her.

"Kimberly, keep this in mind. I won't force you to do anything. If there is a need, let me know and I'll do anything for you."
