Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 247

Did Benedict know that she was pregnant?

Would he suspect that this child was his? Or would this remind him about that rainy night?

Seeing that her face turned pale in an instant, Benedict frowned faintly and queried in a low-pitched voice, "Didn't you know anything about this?"

Kimberly shook her head and shrank back.

Benedict's hand paused in mid-air, he pursed his lips and questioned, "Is it Maddox's?"

Before she could answer, Benedict continued, "No, Maddox is disabled, he probably couldn't do that. Then..." His sharp gaze fell on her countenance.

"Shut up!" Kimberly exclaimed loudly before he could speak again.

Benedict was dumbfounded for a while. "Kimberly?"

Kimberly shrank herself to the corner as she hugged her knees and looked at Benedict vigilantly, "This has nothing to do with you!"

Her gaze looked as if she was guarding herself against a thief, which made Benedict's heart go cold. He stared at her, a frown wrinkling his forehead, "Do you hate me that much?"

Kimberly's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Before she could react, Benedict stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Why? What have I done to deserve this? Do you hate me that much? I have been treating you well since you entered the Yardley Family, and I even..."

Kimberly wanted to break free of his grasp, yet it was tight, unlike his usual gentle self. He held her wrist tightly and she could not get rid of it. No matter how hard she struggled, and she was mad at once, "Even what? Benedict, let go of me."

"I even gave you my heart." Benedict stared deeply into her eyes with agony. "However, you are extremely wary of me and you hate me. Kimberly, what have I done wrong?"

Kimberly met his painful gaze with a little guilt. He had been the one coming to her rescue on her rainy days. In fact, he had been helping her ever since she joined the family, not forgetting the last time when she was humiliated by her own mother in public, and even with Jonathan.

In spite of that... she refused to admit the past, as her relationship with him was too complicated.

Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her eyes, nibbling on her lower lip, "Let go of me."

Benedict held her hand tightly and wouldn't let her go no matter what.

"Benedict!" Kimberly was terribly angry that her face turned pale as she yelled at him.

When Benedict heard her calling out his name, his grip loosened. After a while, he let go of her with a satisfied smile. "If you call me by my name, I won't do such a thing to you ever again. I don't want to hear you calling me big brother anymore, never ever."

Kimberly was lost for words. Kimberly got up from the bed after a long silence.

"I've been out for a long while. I should go back."

"You've already stayed out all night. Do you still want to return?"

Kimberly raised her head in shock. "It's been a night?"

"You were having a bad fever since I brought you to my private residency. I had no choice but to send you to the hospital, and the doctor said that you were having a cold and a high fever. You were unconscious the whole time, hence I could only let you stay for a night."

Kimberly's face instantly turned pale at the thought of herself staying out for a whole night. She couldn't imagine what Maddox would think about her. She tried to look around for her phone, yet she couldn't find it after looking for a long period.

"Are you looking for this?" Benedict handed over her cell phone. She grabbed it immediately and subconsciously wanted to call Maddox.
