Kimberly stood there for a moment and nodded. After that, she waited for Abigail to pack up her things and headed hwith her.
By the tthey had left the hospital, it was already night time. The city lights blended together with the lights from all the traffic. The night breeze made Kimberly slightly cold. She crossed her arms and shrank into herself, trying to conserve all her body heat.
"Put on the jacket if you're cold. Wait forhere, I'll go get my car." "Okay, Auntie." Kimberly addressed her as 'Auntie' now. The more she said it, the more pleasant it sounded.
She waited at the entrance of the hospital. It was already autumn, and the night wind was quite chilly. She thought about it for a moment and finally put on Maddox's jacket.
His jacket was very big, and it looked like a big cloak on her body. But it protected her nicely from the chilly wind. Kimberly lowered her head and took a deep breath. There was a familiar scent on his jacket. It smelled like him. It was cold and clear, his essence in a puff of smoke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe blinked and subconsciously wrapped the jacket a little tighter around herself. About two minutes later, Abigail stopped the car in front of her. Kimberly opened the door and got in.
"Remember to fasten your seat belt," Abigail reminded and then drove away.
Once they got onto the highway, Kimberly admired the neon lights decorated along the streets. Suddenly, she heard Abigail asking her, "How did you get injured? What actually happened between you and Maddox?" Between her and Maddox...
"The office walls are pretty thin. I'm pretty sure you didn't sleep well there. You must have overheard our conversation," Abigail added.
Kimberly was stunned for a while when she heard her. Her face began to turn bright red upon getting called out. She didn't expect Abigail to be so intuitive. How did she guess that? What about Maddox? Did he know that she had overheard the conversation too? "Letask you another question. Do you really want to spend your days living with Maddox?" How could she answer the question? Kimberly pulled at her lips and replied softly, "Auntie, I know... you are a very good person, but... you cannot force a relationship. Our relationship right now is a little complicated. Besides... I didn't choose to marry him." Abigail replied, "Sam toldeverything about your relationship. You married Maddox on behalf of your sister. The Shell family thought that Maddox was a burden since he's disabled. If your sister married him, her future would be hopeless." What she said was right. Kimberly couldn't refute her and looked downwards silently. "That time, I told Maddox that you were willing to marry him because he was handicapped. Even if you married him on behalf of your sister, it is still a very noble thing to do. Besides, you seem to treat him very well. Can I ask you something?"

Kimberly looked up at Abigail and asked, "What is it?" "Do you like Maddox?" Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Abigail raised her lips and smiled. "Is that too straightforward? Letrephrase it. What do you think about your marriage? Although it was a forced marriage, most couples will gradually develop feelings for each other. You have been married to him for several months now. How do you feel?" "I..." Kimberly stammered. She still didn't know how to answer these questions. Even if Sylvia had asked her about it, she still wouldn't know what to say. Abigail was an elder, so Kimberly was even more at a loss.
"Sounds like your heart is as confused as you are." Abigail shook her head and uttered, "Seems like you still need stime." Kimberly lowered her eyes and mumbled, "Maddox... He will never have feelings for me." Abigail couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard Kimberly. "So you know how to read people's minds as well! How can you assthat? Why don't you ask him point- blank whether he has feelings for you?" "There's no need to ask," Kimberly thought. In fact, she had asked him about it before.
Maddox had questioned her whether she liked him. Kimberly did not hesitate and shot the question back at him. However, the expression in his eyes showed her that...
He didn't have any romantic feelings for her. In fact, most of the time, he hated her.
Maybe they would develop sfeelings for each other, but... if there were sdoubts in their hearts, the relationship would be imperfect.
"There are many things that you have to ask to know. If you don't ask, how do you know what the other person is thinking? Furthermore, even if you ask, the other person might not be telling the truth." Speaking of this, Abigail smiled faintly and looked into the distance, adding, "Like when I asked you the question just now, you were hesitated because of many factors. It's not that you don't like Maddox, you just feel that something is stopping you from liking him. You think you don't deserve him. Am I right?" Kimberly was extremely taken aback. She gazed at Abigail with shock, "Aren't you a surgeon? How... could you know... so much psychology?" She asked bluntly. Abigail glanced at her quickly and saw the dull expression on her face. Abigail couldn't help laughing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Haha, you silly girl... You're about to beca mother. Why are you still acting like a child? No wonder..." No wonder Maddox had changed so much. Now, he looked much healthier than before, and he even cared for Kimberly's feelings.
In the past, Maddox's only goal was revenge. He was solely focused on taking over Yardley Corporation. He was never interested in women.
Old Master Yardley had suddenly decided to arrange a marriage for him. At first, Abigail was quite worried, but fate had to run its course. Kimberly cinto his life. Even Abigail couldn't make up everything that had happened after that. Kimberly was a little embarrassed and bit her lower lip.
Later, they reached Abigail's home.
Abigail had her own tiny apartment. afelt yery peaceful.
The residence area, She pushed open the door, revealing E her cozy apartment. "Have a seat. I'll change my clothes, then I'll call Maddox and tell him that you're here. I'll ask him to pick you up later." "Thank you, Auntie."
After Abigail had left, Kimberly sat down on the couch and then took in her surroundings. She was still admiring the apartment when Abigail appeared again. "What's wrong? Don't you want to take off your jacket?" Kimberly blushed furiously and replied dryly, "I forgot..."
She impatiently took off her jacket. Her movements were excessive, and she halted when she when she hearda click" sound as she was taking it off. It sounded like something had fallen to the ground. "What did you drop?" Abigail asked. Kimberly was just about to bend down to look for it, but Abigail beat her to it. She picked up the small box beside her feet.
"What is this?" Abigail asked, handing the box to Kimberly. "I saw it falling out of the jacket's pocket." X
