Chapter 190
What the h*ll?
Maddox glared unhappily at the redness on her skin which he had caused.
He thought, "Why is this woman so fragile? Why did her skin turn red just from merely a wipe?"
"Stop crying," his voice was hoarse and his eyes were stern.
Kimberly raised her head from his arms and stared at him through her blurry vision.
Her stare told him how unfair he had treated her. After a while, she struggled in his hands and said stubbornly, "You wouldn't believe me anyway. I don't need you to send me to the hospital."
Maddox didn't even flinch. He only looked at her coldly.
She struggled again. But this time, Maddox held her wrist tighter.
"I believe you," he said.
Hearing this, Kimberly was stunned. She looked at him in confusion. "What... what did you say?"
"Do I have to repeat myself?" Her astonished look made him feel even more irritated. He scolded her softly and tightened his grip around her waist, "I said, I believe you. Do you hear me?"
Kimberly remained silent. She had never expected that Maddox would believe her. After a while, Kimberly lowered her eyes. She was obviously still in a bad mood.
Maddox's eyes were gloomy and he asked, "Can we go to the hospital now?"
"Sam, drive."
Sam nodded in response and drove the car away.
On the way, Maddox could see that she was still in a bad mood. He said emotionlessly, "If you don't want to go to the hospital, there is another way I could help you."
At first, Kimberly couldn't understand what he had meant. But after thinking about it for a while, she jolted awake in surprise and gasped, "What did you say?"
Maddox lifted her chin and leaned forward. Kimberly could smell the masculine scent emitting from his body.
He said, "What an appropriate excuse for it, don't you think so?"
"I don't want it!" Kimberly rejected without any hesitation.
Maddox squinted his eyes and asked, "Why? Do you hate me?"
He pinched her chin and lowered his head. He leaned closer to her and sucked hard on her lips. After a few seconds, he stopped. He looked at her playfully and whispered, "Or do you want to have Benedict as your antidote?"
When she heard Benedict's name, Kimberly's pupils contracted. She shook her head and shouted, "No!" Maddox was surprised when he saw Kimberly's intense reaction. He asked, "Why are you so agitated?"
However, he was satisfied when she had said she didn't want Benedict. His thin lips slowly curled upwards as he said, "If you don't want him, do you want me?"
If she didn't want Benedict, would she want Maddox?
Kimberly was shocked by this question. Before she could react, Maddox pulled her into his embrace and demanded, "Answer the question!"
"Uh..."
For a moment, Kimberly couldn't figure out how to answer him.
She didn't expect that question from Maddox. She couldn't understand what was going on in Maddox's mind.
He used to be so indifferent and disgusted by her. But now, he seemed so happy teasing her.
Right now, his eyes were glowing, just like a predator's eyes on the hunt. The predator was confident that once captured, the prey would never escape its jaws.
Kimberly gulped subconsciously.

Of course, she would not answer such a question.
No matter who she wanted, even if... she really liked Maddox deep down, even if she had really wanted him. But it was impossible for her to say it directly to his face.
Plus, who knew what would happen? Would Maddox once again say that she was a sl*t?
"Let's go to the hospital," Kimberly changed the topic in the end.
Maddox pursed his thin lips unhappily and said, "So, you're just going to ignore my question. Answer me before we arrive at the hospital."
Kimberly was very uncomfortable. He was so close to her. If it weren't for the medicine she had taken before this, she would have surrendered. She wouldn't even have the strength to talk.
She turned her head away and mumbled, "I don't want to pick."
"You don't want to pick?" Maddox stared at her threateningly and said, "So, you're still considering? Are you aware that I am your husband?" He tightened his arms around her as his thin lips pressed hard on her lips. The kiss was hot and intense. Kimberly couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Kimberly had tried so hard to hold onto her consciousness, but it was all gone the moment their lips met. She tried to push him away, but Maddox's embrace was so strong. He was immovable like a mountain.
His breath filled her mouth, and their bodies held close to each other. Kimberly could even feel the coolness of his body through his clothes.
It was probably because her body was burning hot, she thought. That was why it felt so comfortable hugging Maddox.
It must be.
When Kimberly was in a daze, she suddenly realized that her coat was being removed. As the window winded down, she felt the cold breeze filling the car.
Maddox threw her coat out the window without hesitation, letting it fall on the road.
Kimberly was stunned at what he did. Before she could react, Maddox lifted her chin and forced her eyes to meet his.
Maddox's eyes were dark and gloomy, resembling the dark clouds hanging above the skyscrapers.
On this night, her red dress was like a smokeless fire. From the moment she had appeared to the moment she was in Benedict's arms, Maddox had wanted to pounce on her.
But then, this woman had left Benedict for him.
Maddox couldn't bear it anymore.
The seductive dress she was wearing was very tempting. Not only that, but it was also torn to shreds, and her snow- white shoulders were exposed.
As he looked at her, Maddox lowered his head and bit Kimberly on her shoulder. Although he didn't exert much strength, it hurt badly.
Kimberly cried out, "What... are you doing?"
"I'm making you remember me." Maddox warned in a deep voice, "From now on, you are not allowed to wear this kind of dress in front of other men, and you are not allowed to put on other men's clothes. Do you hear me?"
Kimberly did not say anything. She reached out both of her hands and wrapped them around Maddox's neck gently. She liked the cooling sensation on his body.
Maddox paused for a moment and repeated, "Did you hear me?"
Kimberly was annoyed. She snorted, then raised her head and nibbled his Adam's apple with her tender and hot lips.
This move made Maddox's whole body tense up. Blue veins protruded from his forehead. He removed Kimberly's hands and asked once again, "I need you to answer me, if not... I'll leave you alone."
Kimberly was tired. She had heard this threat a million times before. She retorted, "Sure, go ahead. You can just leave me on the streets to die."
Maddox frowned.
Was she flirting with him?
Maddox couldn't bear to be angry at her. So, he stared at her and his voice softened.
"Do you really want to die?" he asked.
Kimberly looked at him and nodded pitifully.
The look in her eyes indicated that she was in severe pain. She needed help immediately. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Maddox restrained his desire and uttered, "Then you have to ask for my permission."
