Kimberly remembered that she was already lying on the operating table that day. The icy cold machine was inserted into her body. Did Maddox stop the doctor in the end? She could not remember anything because of the anesthetics. She was already back in the Yardleys' residence when she woke up.
"Don't think too much. I just could not be bothered with a woman like you." Maddox said sternly. Then, he asked Sam Sorrento to push him away.
Looking at their retreating backs, Kimberly's mind was in a mess.
"How could it be?" She thought... the child was gone. Hearing what Sam had just said, she suddenly realized that nothing did happen to her stomach after she woke up that day.
Thinking about this, Kimberly took out her mobile phone and gave Sylvia Hanover a call.
Sylvia came and took Kimberly to the hospital for a check-up. Kimberly was in a daze when the doctor congratulated her on her pregnancy.
How could this be? She thought Maddox would not accept this child. She didn't expect...
"It seems that Maddox is not the kind of coldblooded and heartless person whom you thought after all."
Kimberly did not refute. She was looking on the ground, lost in her thoughts.
"What are you going to do next?"
"I've no idea. Let's take it one step at a time." Kimberly said. She did not have any big plans for her life. She relied on Jonathan Lowell after marrying him. After getting a divorce, her parents asked her to marry Maddox. She only had one goal now, which was to stay in the Yardley family.
"But... who was that strange man?" Sylvia asked curiously. She continued, "Won't he be afraid that you'll get pregnant after sleeping with you? Why didn't he look for you? Kimberly, have you ever thought about looking for this person?"
Kimberly said in a daze, "Why should I look for him? I don't know anything about him, and I don't even know how he looked like. Also, it was raining heavily that night. It was so dark. I couldn't see anything. Besides, I'm Maddox's wife now. I wouldn't be able to stay in the Yardley family if they find out that I'm looking for that man."
"Well, I'll get someone to investigate this for you." "Thank you, Sylvia."
"What are you thanking me for? I'm the one who should thank you. You helped me when I was being bullied at school. You even got yourself all beaten up." Sylvia was not adopted by the Hanover family at that time. She was just a poor student, and Kimberly was the one who helped her when she was being bullied at school.
After that, both of them became best friends.
When she returned to the Yardleys' residence, Kimberly immediately went to the room. She realized that Maddox did not go to the company. She was a little surprised. She closed the door and walked towards him.
Maddox was sitting in his wheelchair. He was holding a financial magazine, and there was a laptop on the table.
Kimberly realized that he had a Bluetooth earphone on when she walked closer to him, and the screen of the laptop was displaying a video.
It seemed that... he was having a video conference.
Upon seeing this, Kimberly stood aside and listened to him talking quietly.
"Well, that's a good idea. Please elaborate more." "Okay, let's get it as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Maddox didn't say much. He did not even look at the screen. He was focusing on the magazine. He said, "Please send the proposal to my email address."
The meeting finally ended half an hour later.
Kimberly was standing there the whole time.
Kimberly took a step forward when she saw that the video conference had ended. However, Maddox said coldly, "Don't get close to me."
Kimberly was speechless. She continued to stand there, waiting for him.
