Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 286

Kimberly was stunned. She looked at Sarah in shock.

"Sarah..."

"Scalded?" Maddox frowned and looked at Kimberly's fingers and saw that her fair fingers were red. Maddox's facial expression changed immediately. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bathroom to wash her hand with cold water. He yelled, "Get the burn ointment for me!"

Sarah was stunned for a moment. Then, she went to take the burn ointment immediately.

Kimberly stood there blankly when Maddox grabbed her hand and washed her hand with tap water. Her fingers were not that hot anymore. However, Kimberly saw the running tap water had turned into blood again.

She was so scared that her facial expression changed dramatically. She screamed and was about to pull her hand back.

Maddox was also frightened by her sudden scream. He calmed down soon. Then, he frowned and asked her in a deep voice, "Did I hurt you? How about I turn down the water?"

Listening to his deep and hoarse voice and feeling his cold aura, Kimberly came back to her senses. She turned around and looked at Maddox, who was very close to her. All of a sudden, Kimberly hugged Maddox tightly.

Although Maddox was happy seeing Kimberly throwing herself into his arms, he felt that Kimberly was acting strangely that day. He placed his hands on her shoulders and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing," Kimberly replied. She rested her chin on his shoulder and shook her head violently, "It's just that... the scald hurts."

Hearing that, Maddox frowned and said unhappily, "Sarah was too careless. How could she scald you? I'll replace her with someone else tomorrow."

"Please don't." Hearing that Maddox was going to replace Sarah, Kimberly quickly spoke for her, "It's not her fault. The soup was on the table. I didn't hold it well. It has nothing to do with her."

"Really?"

Kimberly nodded vigorously. Sarah was much more clever than she had imagined. Although Sarah said that she knew what had happened that day, she still chose to not reveal the truth when Maddox was there. She made Maddox think that Kimberly's face was pale because she scalded Kimberly's hand.

Sarah was so smart and meticulous. Wouldn't it be unfair for Sarah if she was replaced for no reason?

"Alright, I'll let her keep you company since you like her. I'll increase her salary as well." Maddox said.

"Thank you."

Sarah came over with the burn ointment soon. After applying the ointment on Kimberly, she left.

Kimberly was not in the mood to talk to Maddox. She was afraid that she would make things worse. Therefore, she went to bed soon after and claimed that she wanted to rest earlier because she was quite tired. Seeing that Kimberly's face was pale, Maddox didn't ask anymore.

Kimberly couldn't fall asleep. She had a dream when she finally fell asleep at midnight. The dream was full of bloody images. Sylvia was lying in a pool of blood, and she reached out her hands to Kimberly, calling her name weakly.

"Kimberly... Save me! Kimberly... Help!"

"Kimberly... I don't want to live anymore. Let me die."

The scene changed. Then, it became a scene where Sylvia and Maddox were hugging each other intimately.

The scene changed again. It became a scene where Maddox said coldly, "A woman like you who bears an illegitimate child doesn't deserve my love at all! I was just playing with you by telling you I like you. Do you really think I would fall in love with a woman like you? You're daydreaming!"

"Kimberly, why can't you understand the situation? You... are not worthy of love from any man... Haha!"

Kimberly was deeply affected by their wild laughter. Her body was covered with cold sweat. She wanted to wake up from the dream to stay away from those two people. However, they followed her no matter where she went.

"Ah!"

Kimberly exclaimed and sat up.
