Achoo- Kimberly suddenly sneezed, which awoke her from her deep sleep.
She looked at the ceiling of the room in a daze for a long time, and then she cto her senses and reached out to pull her quilt up.
However, there was a pair of hands that were quicker. They pulled the quilt for her before she could even move. Kimberly looked at the man- "Young, Young Master Yardley..." Kimberly called him and wanted to sit up.
Maddox glanced at her and teased in a cold voice, "You kicked the quilt away after only half an hour of sleep. Do you think you are a three-year-old child?" The icy-cold yet caring tone made Kimberly freeze. She was at a loss.
What the h*ll was going on with Maddox? "I, I don't know what's going on either." In the end, Kimberly could only stutter.
She seemed to have the habit of kicking the quilt, but... she didn't expect that Maddox would cover her with the quilt.
"Stupid," Maddox glanced at her and looked away.
Kimberly blushed. She wanted to bite her lower lip subconsciously, but she heard Maddox's voice again, "You haven't recovered yet, do you want to injure yourself again?" Kimberly stopped. She looked at him, complication filling her eyes.
"Since you're awake, get dressed. Let's go home." After saying that, Maddox turned around and rolled his wheelchair away from her bed.
After a while, Kimberly lifted the quilt and sat up. As she thought of what to wear, she saw a set of clothes at the end of the bed. They looked like they were prepared for her.
Then, she got up and went to the bathroom, holding her clothes in her arms.
When Maddox heard her movements, he turned around and saw Kimberly walking strangely. He curled his lips unconsciously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she changed her clothes, Kimberly once again sighed at the marks on her body. She was still distressed by the marks, but now knowing that it was Maddox who left them, she wasn't as gloomy as before. After changing her clothes, she slowly walked out of the bathroom and went towards Maddox.
"Shall we go back now?" Kimberly asked.
Maddox stared at her.
He had taken the dress from his wardrobe. The light blue dress outlined her curvy figure, however... Maddox narrowed his eyes and took off his coat abruptly.
"Put it on," he ordered. Kimberly paused and took the coat, but she didn't put it on.
"You don't like it?" He asked.
Kimberly shook her head.
"Then, why don't you wear it?" He asked again.
Kimberly whispered, "This coat is very expensive, right? If I wear it, you will throw it away. I'd better give it back to you." After that, Kimberly handed the coat back to him.
Maddox was choked by her words. He did not expect her to make an issue about this. He furrowed his handsbrows together. He questioned again, his voice much calmer, "Do you want to go back to the Yardley family and announce what happened between us last night?" Kimberly paused for a moment and her face turned a little pale.
"I don't!" She denied.
She didn't dare to think about this.
She also understood what was happening. He gave her the coat because he didn't want the Yardley family to see the marks on her body.
Thinking of this, Kimberly put on his coat silently and covered her neck tightly.
On her slender figure, the coat made her look like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes. No matter how awkward she looked, Maddox felt that it was inexplicably pleasing to the eye. He looked away and said coldly, "Let's go." "Okay," Kimberly followed him out of the ward. Although one day had passed, Kimberly still walked in a very strange way. Her legs were sore and they ached on every step. What if she went back to the Yardley family like this and they suspected something? She forced herself to walk normally.
When she got in the car, she suddenly thought of something.
"Where's my phone?" She asked.
Maddox ignored her.
Kimberly was a little anxious because Maddox had confiscated her cell phone before. Later, Sylvia gave her another cell phone, but now she couldn't find it. She didn't know if Chandler took it away, or Maddox had confiscated it again.
"Young Master Yardley, as you said before, as long as I accompany you to the banquet, you will return my phone to me," Kimberly reminded.
She addressed him as Young Master Yardley...
Maddox frowned. "What did you call me?" He questioned.
Kimberly paused for a moment and stammered, "Young, Young Master Yardley... Is there anything wrong?" "Who asked you to callthat?" Maddox growled at her impatiently.
Kimberly was so scared. She shrank her shoulders and hid her whole body in the coat.
"Didn't you askto call you that?" She asked timidly.
Maddox replied,"... Don't callthat in the future." Kimberly was speechless. "... Then, what should I call you?" She asked again. Maddox was suddenly at a loss of words. He turned his head and glared at her viciously, warning her, "Just don't callthat next time!" The atmosphere beca little static. Kimberly looked at him for a long time, lowering her head.

"When will you give my phone back to me?" She asked again.
"Phone, phone, phone! Do you only care about that phone?" Maddox snapped. This woman was driving him crazy. At this moment, was her phone really the most important thing? Kimberly felt a little wronged, and her eyes reddened. She blamed, "You said that you will give my phone back if I go to the banquet with you! I didn't beg for it either!" Seeing that she was about to cry, Maddox was forced to reply, "I'll return it to you when we reach home." Then, the car descended into silence.
Sam, who was sitting on the front seats, was speechless.
Why did he feel that Young Master Yardley... was acting a little childish? And what was he so agitated about? Sam really couldn't figure it out! The car soon arrived at the Yardley family. When Kimberly got out of the car, her legs were so sore that she almost fell. Fortunately, she reacted in time, stopping herself from falling over.
She followed Maddox into the Yardley family. In the living room, both Old Master Yardley and Benedict were there. The two stood up and looked at them with a smile.
"Maddox, Erica, you guys are back," Benedict greeted them.
"Yes," Maddox nodded. Without moving his gaze, he pushed himself toward the elevator.
Old Master Yardley was irritated by his attitude. He stood up quickly and asked, "Stop. You br*t, do you even regardas your grandfather?" Obviously, the answer was no.
Maddox didn't even look at him.
Maddox stopped. Kimberly also did not dare to go any further. She held onto her suit jacket, conscious of the marks on her body and whether they were showing.
"What's the matter?" Maddox asked in a cold voice.
Old Master Yardley sneered, "What are you going to do about the Lovis family? You destroyed them last NO time. What are you going to do this time? How did Chandler offend you?" Kimberly's heart skipped a beat.
Was Old Master Yardley angry because of the Lovis family incident? Since the last incident, she was very worried that Maddox would attack Chandler. This time... She didn't know what he would do to Chandler. "How did he offend me? I don't need to report it to you, do I?" Maddox asked sarcastically. Ashburn
