"Young Master, according to the information on the file, Assistant Shell was abducted when she was young." || Just as Sam Sorrento talked about it, Maddox Yardley happened to be reading the sthing.
"However, because Assistant Shell was different from the other children, she was kept alone in a small dark room. According to the police, she was locked in the room for three days. At that time, she wasn't given any water or food, and no one visited her." When he heard this, Maddox's hand, which was holding the documents, tightened silently.
"Three days later, the human trafficker went into the room and beat her up. According to the police, she was already at her last breath when they found her. It was a race against tto rescue her from death." Sam paused and then spoke cautiously, "...Assistant Shell was only around four to five years old when that happened..." She was starved for three days without even a sip of water when she was just four to five years old...
It was strange. Maddox felt as if something was pounding on his heart. He crumpled the paper. Sam looked at him silently and reminded him, "Young Master, are you alright? You don't look well." Upon hearing what Sam said, Maddox glowered at Sam. Sam zipped his mouth instantly. "Assistant Shell was probably traumatized after being locked up in the room. After the blackout, the darkness reminded her of her past." He couldn't imagine how scary it must have been for a such a young child.
How did she endure such a traumatic experience? Maddox suddenly recalled the moment when she first entered the Yardley family. When she heard him telling her to get out of the Yardley family, the look in her eyes was filled with helplessness. Nevertheless, she didn't give up and still negotiated the conditions for an opportunity to stay.
"Let's go to the hospital." Maddox uttered.
Maddox threw the documents aside and wheeled himself out.
In the hospital.
Kimberly Shell was still asleep. Auntie Cherry, who had been by her side the whole time, hadn't seen her open her eyes. The doctor cto check and found that she was too weak, and decided to give her an intravenous infusion.
Maddox cinto the room before the drip was done. Auntie Cherry immediately got up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Second Young Master, you're here." Auntie Cherry greeted respectfully.
"Auntie Cherry, is she awake?" Maddox asked.
Auntie Cherry shook her head and said, "No, I've been watching her all night, but Second Young Madam is still asleep." Maddox's glance turned cold. Why hadn't she woken up yet? "But the doctor has made his regular rounds. He says that her emotional state has gotten better and everything is normal. She should wake up soon." Auntie Cherry said.
Speaking of this, Auntie Cherry paused and then added, "Since the doctor has said so, I'll go back and prepare the necessary things. I'll bring shome-cooked food over when the Second Young Madam wakes up." "Okay." Maddox answered in a hoarse voice.
Sam spoke too, his voice equally hoarse, "Auntie Cherry, you've stayed up the whole night. I'll send you home." "No, no, it's fine. I'm going to take the bus. It'll arrive soon. You two have dark circles beneath your eyes. Did you stay up all night too?" Auntie Cherry replied.
Sam had to work last night so it was normal that he didn't sleep. But why didn't... Maddox sleep? Sam leaned his body forward to examine the dark circles under Maddox's eyes.
"Do you want to die?" As soon as he approached Maddox, a stern look fell on Maddox's face. Sam immediately stepped back.
"Young Master, did you not sleep last night... because you were worried about Assistant Shell?" Sam asked.
"1 ." Maddox frowned. "Young Master, have you noticed that you've been treating Assistant Shell..." Sam uttered. "What are you trying to say?" Maddox said with an unusually cold and arrogant tone, his body exuding a gloomy aura.
Sam smacked his lips and asked nervously, "Young Master... are you in love with Assistant Shell?" Maddox's pupils contracted. He suddenly turned his head around, his eyes as intimidating as a wolf's.
Sam took a big step back abruptly. He was so nervous that even his forehead was sweating. "Young Master... I was just kidding! You don't have to be so nervous, yes?" Maddox remained silent, but his face and eyes were filled with rage, as if he was going to rip someone apart. Sam suddenly felt regretful for speaking such things. He gulped in fear. "Young Master... If you don't like Assistant Shell, you just have to deny it. Why... why do you have to have such a big reaction?" Sam added.
Crack- Sam heard the sound of knuckles cracking. He could foresee that he would have his bones broken if Maddox punched him. Sam retreated quickly.
"Ahem..." However, all of the sudden, the person lying on the hospital bed coughed, seemingly resolving the tension in the atmosphere.
Maddox, whose eyes were cold and shrouded with murderous rage just now, immediately turned his head and rolled his wheelchair to the bedside. "Geta glass of water," he uttered. Sam acted quickly. He poured a glass of warm water at lightning speed and brought it to the bedside.
Since Kimberly had been asleep for a long time, she was not used to the bright light in the room when she opened her eyes. She closed her eyes uncomfortably. It took her a long tto get used to the lighting. What cinto her sight was a handsand familiar face.
Kimberly's eyes were dull as she was still in a daze.
Maddox looked at her eyes and the veins on his forehead throbbed. "Is she going to pass out again like yesterday?" he thought to himself.
The next second, Kimberly closed her eyes and grimaced. She coughed softly again.
"Sit up." Maddox stretched his hand out and slowly helped her up. Sam went forward and handed her the water. "Assistant Shell, you should drink swater. Your throat must be really dry," said Sam. Kimberly continued lying on the bed. It was as if she did not hear what Maddox and Sam had said.
"Assistant Shell?" Sam asked.
Kimberly didn't move. She lay there quietly, but her eyes were fixed on Maddox. Her expression was a little scary.
Maddox didn't notice the look in Kimberly's eyes. He reached out to help Kimberly up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClap- However, before he could lay his hands on Kimberly, she mustered the little strength she had and pushed his hands away.
Sam was speechless.
Maddox was stunned as well.
Maddox frowned slightly, narrowing his eyes at her.
The way she looked at him seemed to be... filled with hatred.
Was he just hallucinating, or did she really hate him? Was she blaming him for locking her in the room? "Go away!" Kimberly uttered with a croaky voice after staring at him for a while.
Maddox's frown deepened and his tone grew colder. "Miss- Married- Twice, do you know who you're talking to?" Kimberly bit her lower lip and did not answer.
"Get up." He ordered.
She didn't move.
Maddox reached out again, and Kimberly wanted to slap him away.
I ΟΠ But the strick wouldn't work on Maddox twice. This time, he simply grabbed her wrist, and his other hand went behind her, pulling her up.
Kimberly was skinny and light. Besides, she had not eaten for the whole day, so she didn't have much strength left to fight against him. As such, she was lifted up by Maddox easily.
"Letgo!" she screamed as she struggled angrily. She then Om accidentally hit the infusion needle in her hand, and blood oozed out... Ashburn
