Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 287

Sylvia was leaning against the pillow behind her waist weakly in the ward. She was sitting on the bed guiltily.

Sylvia was so shocked that she almost fainted when she saw Quill after waking up.

She didn't expect that Kimberly would ask Quill to come over. She didn't know if both of them had met each other.

It would be unworthy for her to throw away her identity as the eldest daughter of the Hanover family in order to win over Maddox's heart.

Sylvia wanted both her identity and love from Maddox!

"Why?" Quill asked coldly. Sylvia took a glance at him and was so scared that she looked away immediately. What should she say? She never thought that Quill would know about that matter, nor did she think that Quill would be involved.

She had miscalculated the situation that time.

She didn't pay much attention when she was cutting her wrist. She made a shallow cut on the skin initially. However, there was not much blood flowing out. Therefore, she cut deeper. Unexpectedly, her hands trembled and...

She almost died.

Thinking of that, Sylvia was frightened and tears rolled down her cheeks. Seeing that, Quill couldn't help but frown.

"I've just asked you a question and you cry. Where is your courage you had when you attempted to commit suicide?"

"Brother..." Sylvia sobbed. Seeing her like that, Quill felt annoyed. He was not heartbroken at all. He remained indifferent.

"I... was wrong. Please don't be angry," Sylvia knew that crying would not work on Quill at all. The only way that would work for him was that she had to admit her mistake quickly. Therefore, she apologized to Quill immediately.

"Mr. Hanover, Miss Shell is here."

Juliette's voice came from outside the ward. Hearing Kimberly's name, Sylvia's face became pale. She shouted, "No! I don't want to see her!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs all of a sudden. Her voice was so sharp that it shocked the people inside and outside the ward. Quill frowned. "Are you really not going to see her?"

"Yes!" Sylvia nodded vigorously. She continued, "I don't want to see her. Secretary Sharpio, ask her to leave now!"

She didn't care if Kimberly and Quill had met each other before. She couldn't take any risks now. What she was doing right then would be meaningful if Kimberly had never met Quill before. Sylvia would never let them see each other.

Sylvia would not regret it as well if Kimberly had met Quill.

She would just assume they hadn't met each other. She would never take the risk.

Sylvia became very agitated. Seeing that, Quill frowned. Kimberly treated Sylvia like her own sister the day before. She had been worried about her all the time. She even left the hospital in a daze. However, Sylvia's attitude was different.

Both of their attitudes were completely different.

Kimberly, who was standing outside the ward, heard Sylvia's words clearly. Juliette turned around and looked at Kimberly awkwardly.

"Miss Shell..."

Kimberly lowered her head and bit her lower lip with a pale face. She looked as if she was enduring something. She raised her head after a while and said with a smile weakly, "Sylvia is still quite weak now. Please try to stop her from being so agitated. I'll go back now since she doesn't want to see me."

After saying that, Kimberly turned around and left before Juliette could give any response.

Both parties could hear the conversation because there was just a door in between them.

Hearing that Kimberly was leaving, Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that someone was staring intently at her. She looked over and found that Quill had fixed his gaze on her. He looked as if he was trying to figure out the situation.

Sylvia became nervous. She stammered, "I... I just don't want to see her now." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"You don't have to explain," Quill said. He stood up and put one hand into his pocket. He added, "I'm not interested in the conflicts between both of you. But..." He paused for a moment and then said coldly, "She was the one who found you and sent you to the hospital yesterday. Shouldn't you thank her? Is this what the Hanover family taught you?"

Sylvia's face was pale.

Quill turned around and walked out.

"Brother!"

Sylvia shouted and wanted to get out of bed to catch up with Quill. However, Quill walked very fast. He walked out of the ward soon and then ordered Juliette, "Don't let her casually walk around."

"Noted, Mr. Hanover." Juliette walked over and was about to close the door of the ward. However, Sylvia rushed over and wanted to catch up with Quill.

"Miss Sylvia, Mr. Hanover said that you are quite weak now, so you'd better lie down on the bed to rest."

"No! He has misunderstood me. I'm going to explain it to him!" Sylvia pushed Juliette hard while shouting. However, her body was still weak. In the end, Juliette pushed her back to the bed and sat down. Then, Juliette sighed helplessly and said, "I believe you know Mr. Hanover's temper well. Mr. Hanover will get angry if you catch up with him now."

Hearing that, Sylvia came back to her senses. Juliette was right! Quill would be angry if Sylvia tried to catch up to him now.

Forgot it.

Sylvia bit her lower lip and suddenly thought of something. "Secretary Sharpio, did Kimberly meet my brother?"

Juliette was stunned. "What?"

"I mean... How did both of you know about this yesterday? It was Kimberly who informed you, wasn't it?" Sylvia rephrased her question.

Juliette was speechless for a long time. She shook her head and said, "Miss Sylvia, do you think Miss Shell should not tell us about your suicide? I know both of you are good friends. But... she has to inform your family because this is a serious matter. Are you angry at Miss Shell because she told Mr. Hanover about it? Is this why you refused to see her?"

Hearing that, Sylvia's face turned pale. She said, "I just don't want my brother to worry."

"Miss Sylvia, I'm sorry for being straightforward but you attempted to commit suicide. How could you think that you wouldn't worry Mr. Hanover? Could it be you..."

"I was wrong. I just don't want my brother to know about this," Sylvia replied angrily. Then, she glared at Juliette and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you always arguing with me? Do you have a good relationship with Kimberly?"

Juliette didn't know what to say.

She smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sylvia, you must be joking. I just met Miss Shell at work before. I'm not close to her."

Juliette had a strange feeling. Sylvia's reactions didn't seem to be similar to the reaction of a person who had just been saved from attempting suicide. Also, her words were conflicting.

Juliette did not know what exactly was wrong.

Nonetheless, she was really curious about Sylvia's reactions.
