"You're not being a responsible husband. Shouldn't you take care of your pregnant wife?" A series of questions made Maddox's face turned livid. His fists tightened silently and his joints turned white.
Sam Sorrento could obviously feel the tense atmosphere, so he quickly opened his mouth before Maddox Yardley lost his temper. "I'm sorry, doctor. Our Young Master's legs have made it a little inconvenient for him to move around. We didn't realize that she had been feeling uncomfortable, so we immediately sent her over once we were aware of it. How is the patient now?"
The doctor finished talking and felt more relieved, but he still looked at Maddox with displeasure. "She's all right now, but she has to stay in the hospital for the next two days for further observation."
"So are you saying that... the baby is still alive?" Sam asked cautiously.
"What?" Hearing this question, the doctor almost blew up. "Are you guys trying to get rid of the baby?"
"No, no, I mean, it's good that the baby is still alive." Sam quickly smiled and apologized. He was too careless with his words!
The doctor waved his hand and left, but Sam said gloomily, "Young Master Yardley, if that illegitimate child had died just now, you wouldn't have to do it yourself then." Hearing what he said, Maddox frowned as he said fiercely,
"Say that again!"
Sam was shocked and dared not say a word.
It was Maddox himself who said that the baby in her belly was an illegitimate child, and Young Master Yardley was the one who wanted to abort Kimberly's child. Why today...
Forget it. Anyway, Maddox had changed ever since he married Kimberly. He might become even more strange in the future. He should just adapt to it.
Thinking of this, Sam felt relieved.
The smell of disinfectants wafted through the quiet ward. Kimberly was changed into clean clothes. She was lying quietly on the bed with a pale face. She looked as if she was extremely sick.
Maddox's wheelchair was next to the bed. He stared at the woman on the bed, and the coldness in his eyes faded a little.
"When will she wake up?" Maddox suddenly asked.
"I've asked the doctor. We may have to wait until tonight."
Maddox looked away and said, "Let's go back."
Hearing what he said, Sam was a little surprised. "Young Master Yardley, are we not going to stay with Assistant Shell?"
"Get Auntie Cherry to come over."
Sam then realized what was going on. He nodded. "Then I'll ask Auntie Cherry to prepare some food and bring it over so that Assistant Shell could have some food when she wakes up."
The hospital was quiet at night. The patients had fallen asleep and their family members were also quiet. Kimberly woke up and opened her eyes to see white walls and ceilings. Beside her was a gentlelooking woman.
"Second Young Madam, you're awake."
Kimberly's mind was blank for a moment when she heard her calling Second Young Madam, but later she realized that the woman was probably one of the Yardley family's maid. She moved her fingers and tried to sit up, but she felt pain in her lower abdomen when she tried to move, so she had to lie down again.
Auntie Cherry quickly stood up and said, "Second Young Madam, you shouldn't get up. Your body is still weak. You should lie down for a while. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water."
Before Kimberly could answer, Auntie Cherry turned around to pour a cup of warm water and passed it to Kimberly. She lay there with an awkward smile. Auntie Cherry put down the cup and gently helped Kimberly to sit up. She had also put a pillow behind Kimberly's back.
"Second Young Madam, how do you feel now?"
After Kimberly drank half a glass of water, Auntie Cherry carefully asked, "Second Young Madam, do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need to call a doctor?" Kimberly shook her head and said in a low voice, "Thank you. You don't need to call a doctor. I'm fine."
