Of course, Kimberly knew all the things Benedict did were out of his own will.
However, he didn't ask her if she was willing to accept it.
"Of course, I don't think Vice President Yardley will ask for anything in return for what he did for you. After all... he is a gentleman. Miss Shell, don't feel pressured. He won't force you," Valeria said.
Kimberly was speechless.
It was true she was being too cautious of him before, but she didn't think of him that way throughout all the things that had happened.
"I understand." She nodded and did not talk to Valeria anymore.
Valeria conveyed her message and did not bother Kimberly any longer.
When the nurse came to check on Kimberly afterward, she breathed a sigh of relief after she finished examining her.
"You are really lucky. You were soaked in the rain for so long, and you had such a high fever. You even had a car accident before that, but your child was safe. This child is a lucky dog," the nurse said.
"We all are worried about your condition, but it seems you are well now. As long as you have a good rest for the next two days, there should be no further problem," said the doctor who came with the nurse.
"Thank you," Kimberly thanked him with a pale face. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "May I know, how is he doing?"
The doctor was stunned and knew who she was referring to. He calmed down and said, "His condition is much worse than yours. He suffered more serious injuries than you in that car accident. Although they are all superficial injuries, those wounds cover a large area of his body. What's more, he got caught in the rain and then didn't allow us to treat his wounds. He insisted on hanging on to take care of you. That's why he had a high fever."
Hearing this, Kimberly's face became paler. "So he..."
"He's alright now. Don't worry. He's physically strong, and he has a strong will. He should be waking up soon," the doctor assured her.
Kimberly was slightly relieved, and then she thought of Maddox.
One night had passed, and she still didn't know what was going on with him. "I don't know if he still blames me and whether he is still angry with me. Does he still refuse to see me?" She thought.
However, Benedict was still not awake, so Kimberly did not leave and could only lie in the hospital bed.
After the high fever, her limbs were weak and she felt very tired.
At noon, Valeria asked her mother, Brenna, to make some soup and then personally served them to Kimberly. Valeria's mother was a very kind woman. Seeing Kimberly's condition, she kept telling her to take care of herself.
Valeria could not help saying, "Mom, I just asked you to send me soup. Don't be a busybody. It's annoying."
Brenna said with a smile, "I hope you don't mind, young lady. I'm just this kind of person. I felt like doting on you since you're about the same age as my daughter."
Kimberly felt warm in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile and replied, "Sure, Auntie. Your soup is very delicious. I really appreciate it."
Then she thought of her mother.
It seemed that since a very young age, her mother gave all her care to her sister Erica. Kimberly used to be angry about it back then, feeling that her mother did not love her and fancied Erica more.
