Chapter 11
Kimberly Shell's face turned pale because she was guilty. Her lips were trembling and she didn't know what to say.
Maddox Yardley sneered. "It's no wonder that you're in such a hurry to marry me on behalf of your sister. It is because you want to find a father for your child."
Sam Sorrento, who was standing behind Maddox, balled into fists when he heard what Maddox said. Sam said, "Who do you think we are? How dare you bring this illegitimate child to the Yardley family? How long would you have hidden the truth from us if we didn't see you sneaking around the Obstetrics and Gyneacology clinic?"
Kimberly wanted to settle it on her own but was unexpectedly taken here.
However, why did Maddox send someone to watch the Obstetrics and Gyneacology clinic?
Kimberly said stubbornly, "Who said that I'm pregnant? Can't I go to the Obstetric and Gyneacology clinic for a check-up?"
"From the looks of it, you're not going to tell me the truth," Maddox said coldly. "Please take her to the hospital and tell me the result," he said to a man.
"Noted!" The bodyguard went forward and detained Kimberly.
"No!" Kimberly struggled hard. She said, "Maddox, we are just nominal husband and wife. How can you let them do this to me? Let me go!"
"Why should I let you go?" Maddox stared at her coldly and asked her. Then, he said indifferently, "I'm sure you know what will happen to you if I find out that you're pregnant! Sam, take her away!" After learning that Kimberly was not the person he was looking for, Maddox no longer had any pity for her.
An hour later.
Maddox threw the report in his hand at Kimberly's face and stared at her viciously. He said, "Do you want me to take care of your child? How dare your parents coerce me into fathering this child?" "No, it's not like that!" Kimberly said in a panic. She continued, "I didn't know that I'm pregnant. My family doesn't know about this at all. I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
"Did you really not know?" Maddox asked. Then, he reached out his hand and held her chin. He stared at her with a gloomy look in his eyes and said, "Well, I will give you a chance to abort the child. You can stay in the Yardley family if you agree to this."
Kimberly said, "No..."
"No?" Maddox looked at her mockingly. Then, he said sarcastically, "Did you think that I, a disabled person, should accept your ex-husband's child? Are you looking down on me?" Kimberly shook her head repeatedly and said, "I've never thought that way!"
She did not expect to be pregnant at all. She was married to Jonathan Lowell for two years but they had never slept together. How would she know that she would accidentally lose her virginity on that rainy night and get pregnant?
Kimberly was very stressed.
She knew that she would not be able to stay in the Yardley family if she was pregnant with another man's child. Besides, everyone in North City would look down on the Shell family.
She needed some time to accept the mess.
"Please give me some time!" Kimberly begged.
Maddox said, "Well, I'll give you three days. You have to leave the Yardley family if you do not abort the illegitimate child within three days!"
After saying that, Sam pushed Maddox away.
Kimberly fell to the ground and felt helpless.
After a long time, she took out her mobile phone. Her hands were trembling as she gave a phone call to her best friend, Sylvia Hanover.
It was late at night when Kimberly returned to the house.
She chatted with Sylvia for a long time. She was both mentally and physically exhausted from everything that happened in the past month. She felt much better after talking about it.
Both of them analysed the situation carefully. In the end, Kimberly made up her mind to abort the child.
Sylvia was right. Kimberly could only rely on the Yardley family now. Her parents were willing to let her marry Maddox because they wanted to protect her sister. Yet, they wanted money from the Yardley family. Therefore, her parents would definitely abandon her if she got chased out of the Yardley family.
As she was immersed in her thoughts, there came a cold voice, "Stop."
