"Miss Shell, according to the results of the examination, your uterus wall is very thin. Therefore, you will suffer massive blood loss from the abortion and it could be life-threatening if the condition is serious. It will also be impossible for you to get pregnant for the rest of your life after the abortion. So, we don't recommend that you get an abortion at all," the doctor said.
Upon hearing this, Kimberly Shell frowned. Sylvia Hanover, who was standing beside her, was shocked as well. She said, "She can't get an abortion?"
The doctor sighed softly and said, "Yes, I won't recommend it. Please think about it properly."
After leaving the hospital, Sylvia frowned and said, "What should you do if you can't get an abortion? Oh my God! This is so annoying!"
Kimberly said, "I've no idea."
"Let me send you back first," Sylvia said.
Kimberly nodded her head. Right after that, she shook her head and said, "Please send me to the company."
When they arrived at Yardley Corporation, Sylvia said, "You go ahead. I'll try to get a second opinion from other doctors."
"Thank you, Sylvia. I'll make a move first," Kimberly said. The receptionists remembered Kimberly because she was there before. So, she had no trouble going straight to the president's office on the top floor.
The door of the office was left open. When she was about to knock the door, Kimberly heard someone talking inside.
"The last time I asked you to find that woman, you brought her to me instead. And now, how dare you bring me a woman who has already given birth? Sam, am I not strict enough? Or are you not paying attention to your work?"
Maddox Yardley, who was sitting in front of his desk, scolded. He tapped the desk with his slender fingers and had a domineering demeanour. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Sam Sorrento was standing in front of the desk with his head bowed as he got scolded.
Kimberly hid behind the door when she saw this.
"Young Master Yardley, I really didn't mean to get it wrong. You gave me too little information. So, I didn't want to let any possible woman slip away." Sam felt that he had been wronged. He had been working with Maddox for a long time and had always been very efficient at his job.
However, Sam's task now was to find a woman. Since they had no information about this woman, finding her was no easy task.
"Did you just say that I didn't give you enough information? Well, don't you know how to gather information?" Maddox sneered. He stopped tapping the desk with his fingers and continued, "Are you blaming me?"
Maddox's words sent a shiver down Sam's spine. He straightened his body and shook his head.
"It's impossible! Young Master Yardley, I'll ask more people to look out for that woman. Then, I'll interrogate her in person before bringing her to you."
"Interrogate?" Maddox repeated what Sam said.
"Please don't worry. I'll not hurt her," Sam said.
"Well, get out now," Maddox said after he was satisfied with the answer. Then, he yanked on his tie impatiently.
Sam wanted to leave the office as soon as possible. He couldn't stand to stay in that office anymore. So, he responded, "Yes!"
After coming out, Sam closed the door and saw Kimberly standing against the wall.
Sam pulled her to a corner immediately. He said, "How dare you eavesdrop on my conversation with Young Master Yardley?"
Kimberly shook her head and said, "I just happened to hear you talking. By the way, who is he looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Sam narrowed his eyes and said, "Miss Shell, I think it's better for you to mind your own business. You're here as a substitution for Young Master Yardley's wife. You're not his real wife. I'm afraid that you can no longer be a young madam if you continue to poke your nose into other people's business."
Sam said it in a direct way. As a result, Kimberly was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and said, "I know..."
Seeing that her mood had suddenly taken a turn for the worse, Sam realised that he had gone too far. So, he said, "I know what I said might sound harsh to you, but it is reasonable, right? Anyway, please don't mention it anymore. Otherwise, I can't save you from the ensuing trouble.1' After saying that, Sam turned around and left quickly.
Kimberly stood in the corner for about five minutes. Then, she went and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Maddox said coldly.
Kimberly hesitated for a moment. Then, she pushed the door open and went in.
Maddox was not sitting in front of the desk. Instead, he was sitting in front of the French windows with his back to her. He was looking out of the window.
Maddox realized that the person who had just entered his office remained silent. He frowned and spun his wheelchair around.
Unexpectedly, he saw Kimberly there. Her face was pale.
Maddox frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Kimberly looked up and said, "I'm your assistant."
Maddox sneered. He felt annoyed and he glanced at her flat lower abdomen.
He yanked on the tie against his chest and asked coldly, "What are you going to do with the baby?"
Upon hearing this, Kimberly's face turned pale. She clenched into fists.
"Why are you so quiet? Are you going to keep the baby?" Maddox asked.
Thinking of what the doctor said, Kimberly mustered the courage to look at him. She said, "Can you please give me a few more days..."
"No way!" Maddox rejected her without hesitation. He stared at Kimberly coldly and said, "I'll force you to get an abortion if you still have the baby in two days time."
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Kimberly did not go to the hospital to get an abortion. This was because Sylvia told her that she would help Kimberly ask around for a safer way to abort.
However, after two days, they still had not figured out a safe way to get an abortion.
Kimberly, who was in the bedroom, was feeling anxious that night. She hoped Maddox would not come back. However, how could that be possible?
The door creaked open.
Maddox rolled his wheelchair into the room. When he saw Kimberly standing there in a daze, he said, "Time's up."
He spoke calmly in a serious tone.
Kimberly was not good at lying. Therefore, she didn't dare to look into her eyes when she said softly, "I know. I've already gotten an abortion."
"Oh, really?" Maddox sneered and raised his voice slightly.
Kimberly was so nervous that her body trembled slightly. She said in a low voice, "I really got an abortion..."
After saying that, Kimberly took a paper out of her pocket with trembling hands. Then, she handed it to Maddox and said, "This is proof of the abortion. Please look at it."
Maddox did not take it.
The atmosphere in the room was tense.
