Kimberly's eyes were wide open for the entire night as she waited.

She was waiting for Maddox's return.

Soon, she was proved to have waited in vain. When the clock struck six in the morning, Maddox was still nowhere to be seen. For the whole time, she was lying motionless on the bed, remaining in her position.

Kimberly was about to drink her milk, but her hands trembled when she heard Maddox's name. She almost spilled her milk onto herself. She put her glass down and picked up a piece of toast.

"I heard that he went looking for someone," Benedict spoke again.

Kimberly just bit into the toast. Benedict's sentence made her lose appetite. However, she kept chewing quietly and did not respond. Nonetheless, he continued talking.
