Kimberly said, "No way! You're badly injured. I can't go anywhere."
She would feel guilty for the rest of her life if she left Benedict right then or if she let Benedict send her to the banquet.
She didn't want to be such a heartless person!
"Silly girl," Benedict said to Kimberly softly. He couldn't help but smiled faintly and said, "Don't you like him very much? I'm trying to help you."
"No!" Kimberly shook her head hard. Tears welled up within her eyes when she saw Benedict giving a wry and self-mocking smile. Then, she said with tears rolling down her cheeks, "I don't need you to do this. You just need to rest in the hospital to recover!"
"Didn't I say that I'm fine? These are just some external injuries. I'll be fine as long as it's bandaged. Let's go now. We will really miss the banquet if we don't leave now."
"No!" Kimberly bit her lower lip hard and burst into tears. She said, "I don't need you to help me. Do you understand? I will go by myself even if I want to go. I will never let you send me there again! I don't want to trouble you anymore..."
In the end, Kimberly was choked with tears.
She had been suspecting that Benedict had bad intentions. However, she felt that she was the bad person instead. Benedict had been treating her nicely, but she kept on suspecting Benedict.
He even insisted on sending her to the banquet even when he was badly injured right then.
The nurse, who was standing at the side, cried when she saw that. It was too touching. She thought they were a couple. Unexpectedly, they were not...
Also, Benedict kept on helping Kimberly to get together with Maddox. It was such a touching scene!
How much courage did he need to help the woman he loved be together with another man?
"Stop crying," Benedict frowned and said when he saw Kimberly sobbing. He was really doing this for her own good. Unexpectedly, she rejected him.
"Time is running out. Let's go now. I'll come back to the hospital to rest after sending you to the banquet. Is this okay?"
Kimberly shook her head vigorously. However, Benedict grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the ward in the next second. Kimberly's face turned pale instantly. She reacted, "I don't want to go. Fine! Let me go! I'll go by myself."
The nurse was moved and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although Benedict was injured, he was still strong because he was a man. Kimberly couldn't resist him at all. She didn't dare to touch him because he was injured. Therefore, she could only allow herself to be pulled forward by him.
Although Benedict looked fine when he was pulling Kimberly, Kimberly could feel that Benedict was not as strong as before. He must have suffered worse injuries than she imagined. Moreover, what the nurse said to her before made her more convinced that he was just trying to tough it out.
How could he hold on if she didn't stop him? He was the one who wanted to tough it out. His body was unfit for that at all.
"Benedict, stop it! I have something to tell you... Benedict Yardley!"
Kimberly was so angry that she called out his full name!
Benedict was catching his breath. He stopped walking and looked at Kimberly sadly.
