Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 86

Kimberly Shell woke up in a clean and tidy room.

The layout of the room was very simple, but it was quite stylish. There were also a few sketches attached to the wall.

The wind was blowing the light grey curtain gently, and it was a bit cool.

Where was she?

Kimberly sat up slowly, and pain shot through her arm. When she lowered her head, she found that there was gauze wrapped around her arm.

"Are you awake?"

Hearing a warm voice from beside her, Kimberly raised her head.

To her surprise, Benedict Yardley had walked in, holding a glass of warm water in his hand. He walked towards her and handed it to her.

"Have a glass of water. You must be thirsty," Benedict said.

Kimberly looked at him in a daze, and then she reached out to take the glass. She was really thirsty and her lips were dry. Kimberly gulped the water down hastily.

As he saw that, Benedict could not help but speak, "Slow down, you might choke on the water."

Kimberly paused, admiring Benedict's voice...

What a gentlemen! Kimberly sipped the water slowly. When she was about to put the glass down, Benedict reached out and wiped her lips.

His movements were natural and gentle, as though he had done it millions of times. Kimberly was stunned.

What was he doing? He even touched the corner of her mouth with his finger!

After realizing this, Kimberly tilted her head backwards to avoid his touch.

Benedict looked at ease. He did not look offended at all. He did not realize that he had troubled Kimberly's heart by doing that. He took the glass away from Kimberly's hand and said, "You should get up, I've made you a meal."

A meal?

At the mention of food, Kimberly's stomach immediately growled.

Her face blushed and she quickly covered her stomach.

Benedict smiled and he said gently, "Hurry."

There was not a hint of mockery in his eyes. His calm glance pacified Kimberly. Then she nodded and got up from the bed.

After getting up, Kimberly was surprised to find that she was no longer wearing the hospital gown.

She subconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes.

"Don't worry. It was the servant who helped you to change your clothes." Benedict assured her. Benedict's explanation was timely. When Kimberly finally came to her senses, her cheek turned rosy again.

Even though she did not say anything, but he seemed to know what she was thinking about. Kimberly followed him to the dining table awkwardly.

There were several dishes and a bowl of soup on the table, and they all looked scrumptious.

Kimberly had been starving for a long time. She gulped instinctively and sat down at the dinner table.

"Let's eat." Benedict smiled lightly. He took a plate of spaghetti and gave it to her with a set of cutlery.

"Thank you, Benedict." Kimberly thanked him and then sat down to eat. She was really hungry.

She hadn't eaten anything since the day before, but she managed to endure the hunger.

She had once starved for three days and three nights when she was a child. There was no water or food, yet she survived!

Hence, nothing would happen to her even if she had starved for a whole day! Kimberly feasted on the spaghetti and thought, "I must be strong."

She had gone through the nightmare of her childhood.

She had also gone through Jonathan Lowell's betrayal and her family's hostile attitude.

She was forced to marry Maddox Yardley too, but she had endured it all. There was only half a year left. She would be able to leave this place in half a year.

She would then look for a city she liked, settle down there, find a good job, and give birth to a baby and raise the baby by herself.

As she thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore. The tears rolled down drop by drop, falling into Kimberly's plate.

But she did not stop eating her spaghetti.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Benedict was sitting beside her, looking at her with a soft smile. But when he saw her eyes reddened, the smile on his face froze. Then, he caught the sight of her tears rolling into her plate one by one like bean-sized beads.

Benedict's smile instantly disappeared from his face.

After a long while, he sighed softly and scooped some soup for her.

"Don't just eat the spaghetti. Have some soup too."

Kimberly sniffed, but she still couldn't hold back her tears. Seeing that Benedict was scooping soup for her, she raised her head to look at him.

Benedict's heart softened as he stared into Kimberly's beautiful and teary eyes.

His hands stopped moving, and his thin lips unconsciously pursed.

The corner of Kimberly's mouth was stained with the sauce from the spaghetti. She was embarrassed, but the more she thought about it, the more emotional she got. The meal in front of her reminded her of her childhood when she was rescued from the human traffickers by the police.

At that time, her parents did not pick her up. In the end, it was the policeman who gave her a hug and took her to the police station, bought her a meal, and then asked her to eat.

She had remained silent for a long time. When she took the spaghetti from the police, the policeman sighed and scooped some soup for her too.

"Little girl, you should eat more."

Kimberly was still young at that time, so she burst into tears out of a sudden.

Now... although she had grown up, married and had a child, yet she was still touched upon seeing Benedict's considerate act.

More tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry... Benedict, I don't... don't want to..." she sobbed, putting down her cutlery on the table before she turned around.

She felt so sad.

Those were the darkest days of her life.

At that time, she stayed in the police station for three days.

The rest of the missing children were brought back home by their parents who had rushed over to pick them up while she was left alone for three days before Mrs. Shell arrived. The first thing Mrs. Shell did when she saw Kimberly was to scold her for being disobedient. She chided her for running around recklessly, and then whacked her ass in front of all the police. Kimberly wanted to cry at that time, but she held it back.

Just like that, she stared at her mother with her eyes widened.

Why? Didn't her mother love her too? Wasn't she worried about her? Why., .did the other mothers love their children very much, but why... why was she different from the others?

A coat was draped over Kimberly, bringing her with warmth and the scent of a man.

"You must be sad," Benedict said as he sat beside her, holding a tissue in his hand. He leaned down and gently wiped the tears on her face. "It's okay to cry. After crying, we still have to eat. Otherwise... it wouldn't be good if you end up hurting your tummy." he comforted her.

Kimberly's hands trembled slightly. She looked up at Benedict, and her eyelashes twitched. "Thank you." she uttered.

Benedict smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Do you feel better now after crying?"

"Yeah." Kimberly nodded.

"Then let's have more soup." Benedict filled another bowl of soup for her. Kimberly reached out and took it.

"When I went to the hospital yesterday, I saw Maddox's car in the parking lot. Were you with him?" Benedict asked.

Hearing what he said, Kimberly paused.

"I know Maddox might look unapproachable but deep down he's a nice person. He's more bark than bite. What he says is always different from what he thinks. To be frank, Maddox treats you really well." Benedict explained.
