When they arrived at the hospital, Sam told Abigail the whole story. She shook her head helplessly and disinfected Kimberly's wounds before applying the medicine again. She then ordered Kimberly to go back and have a good rest.

Before Kimberly left, Abigail added another comment, "You are one of us now, so I'll just be frank with you. Your injuries seem to be quite serious, but you don't have to come to the hospital every day. All you have to do is to ask Maddox to apply the medicine for you. You hear me?"

Kimberly's face turned red when she heard that, "I'm sorry, Auntie Abigail. I will keep that in mind. I will not trouble you anymore."

Abigail looked at her helplessly, "What are you thinking? I'm not saying that you're troubling me, but you can't come to the hospital everyday just to ask me to treat your injuries. You need to learn to let Maddox help you. Do you understand? As a woman, you mustn't be so stubborn all the time."

Kimberly paused for a moment and slowly realized that Abigail was teaching her how to deal with Maddox.

"Auntie, I..."

"Remember what I told you the other day? Although Maddox looks like a cold and vicious man, but deep down, he is very sensitive. His face does not show what he actually feels. You have to find a way to dea with him, do you understand?"

As she spoke, Abigail reached for Kimberly's hand, "Don't tell anyone I told you this. Keep it to yourself, okay?"

After saying goodbye to Abigail, Kimberly went straight back to the Yardley mansion. When she arrived home, she was lost in her own thoughts for a while. Suddenly, she took her phone to text Sylvia. Kimberly didn't have many friends. Sylvia was one of them. And Kimberly had recently gotten close to another friend, Vera.

Now Kimberly had a thousand things running through her mind, and she wanted to find someone to confide in.

However, she stopped herself as soon as she opened the chat box. She thought back to what Sylvia told her. Kimberly wasn't sure if she could confide in Sylvia. Would Sylvia scold her? Kimberly took a deep breath and eventually put down her phone.

"Forget it, I'd better follow my heart."

As noon approached, Kimberly headed over to the office to have lunch with Maddox. However, when she arrived, she realized that Maddox was not in his office.

After asking around, she learned that he had already left. The security guard told her that Maddox had the office around the same time as her.
