Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 82

"Young Master, according to the information on the file, Assistant Shell was abducted when she was young."

Just as Sam Sorrento talked about it, Maddox Yardley happened to be reading the same thing.

"However, because Assistant Shell was different from the other children, she was kept alone in a small dark room. According to the police, she was locked in the room for three days. At that time, she wasn't given any water or food, and no one visited her."

When he heard this, Maddox's hand, which was holding the documents, tightened silently.

"Three days later, the human trafficker went into the room and beat her up. According to the police, she was already at her last breath when they found her. It was a race against time to rescue her from death."

Sam paused and then spoke cautiously, "...Assistant Shell was only around four to five years old when that happened..."

She was starved for three days without even a sip of water when she was just four to five years old...

It was strange. Maddox felt as if something was pounding on his heart. He crumpled the paper. Sam looked at him silently and reminded him,

"Young Master, are you alright? You don't look well." Upon hearing what Sam said, Maddox glowered at Sam. Sam zipped his mouth instantly.

"Assistant Shell was probably traumatized after being locked up in the room. After the blackout, the darkness reminded her of her past."

He couldn't imagine how scary it must have been for a such a young child.

How did she endure such a traumatic experience?

Maddox suddenly recalled the moment when she first entered the Yardley family. When she heard him telling her to get out of the Yardley family, the look in her eyes was filled with helplessness. Nevertheless, she didn't give up and still negotiated the conditions for an opportunity to stay.

"Let's go to the hospital." Maddox uttered.

Maddox threw the documents aside and wheeled himself out.

In the hospital.

Kimberly Shell was still asleep. Auntie Cherry, who had been by her side the whole time, hadn't seen her open her eyes. The doctor came to check and found that she was too weak, and decided to give her an intravenous infusion.

Maddox came into the room before the drip was done. Auntie Cherry immediately got up.

"Second Young Master, you're here." Auntie Cherry greeted respectfully.

"Auntie Cherry, is she awake?" Maddox asked.

Auntie Cherry shook her head and said, "No, I've been watching her all night, but Second Young Madam is still asleep."

Maddox's glance turned cold. Why hadn't she woken up yet?

"But the doctor has made his regular rounds. He says that her emotional state has gotten better and everything is normal. She should wake up soon." Auntie Cherry said.

Speaking of this, Auntie Cherry paused and then added, "Since the doctor has said so, I'll go back and prepare the necessary things. I'll bring some home-cooked food over when the Second Young Madam wakes up."

"Okay." Maddox answered in a hoarse voice.

Sam spoke too, his voice equally hoarse, "Auntie Cherry, you've stayed up the whole night. I'll send you home."

"No, no, it's fine. I'm going to take the bus. It'll arrive soon. You two have dark circles beneath your eyes. Did you stay up all night too?" Auntie Cherry replied.

Sam had to work last night so it was normal that he didn't sleep. But why didn't... Maddox sleep?

Sam leaned his body forward to examine the dark circles under Maddox's eyes.

"Do you want to die?" As soon as he approached Maddox, a stern look fell on Maddox's face. Sam immediately stepped back.

"Young Master, did you not sleep last night... because you were worried about Assistant Shell?" Sam asked.

"..." Maddox frowned. "Young Master, have you noticed that you've been treating Assistant Shell..." Sam uttered.

"What are you trying to say?" Maddox said with an unusually cold and arrogant tone, his body exuding a gloomy aura.

Sam smacked his lips and asked nervously, "Young Master... are you in love with Assistant Shell?"

Maddox's pupils contracted. He suddenly turned his head around, his eyes as intimidating as a wolf's.
