Kimberly lay in his arms motionlessly. The medicine had rendered her wholly unconscious and feeble.
Maddox unfastened his buttons. His movement was slow and steady, like a piece of obsolete machinery.
With her half- lidded eyes, Kimberly watched him quietly.
Their bodies became so hot. They felt like breathing out fire.
After unbuttoning the last button, Maddox suddenly stood up from the wheelchair with Kimberly in his arms.
Kimberly was so confused at that time. She did not even realize how a disabled man could suddenly stand up from the wheelchair.
Maddox carried her to the enormous bed in the room, and then she was left on the soft mattress.
There was a soft pillow under her head while on top of her was a massive body that was hot to the touch. The strong scent of the man enveloped her, and his warm hand on her waist was like a ball of flame, burning hot.
"I'll ask you one last time. Have you really made up your mind?" Maddox asked.
Kimberly did not answer him.
"You don't regret it?" Maddox asked again. It seemed that he was talking to himself, but Maddox just wanted to tease her.
He narrowed his eyes while he leaned closer to her. When his thin lips were just above her upper lip, he asked in a bare whisper, "Do you know who I am? If you can't say it, I won't save you."
Still, Kimberly had no reaction.
"Hmm?" Maddox lifted her, and his big hand deftly removed the button on her back. "Who am I?" he queried.
"Er..." Kimberly uttered as she struggled to open her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.
The figure before her was blurry, and then it slowly overlapped.
Maddox heard her whispering, "Mad... Maddox Yardley..."
Feeling satisfied, his thin lips slightly sucked her upper lip and said, "Good girl."
He finally stopped torturing her.
Like a mountaineer, he avoided all of the obstacles nimbly and went straight to the top of the mountain expeditiously.
When he finally arrived, Kimberly felt that there was a stabbing pain somewhere in her body, which sobered her for about two seconds with her eyes wide open.
At the moment, Maddox's eyes were glimmering like the stars.
Kimberly was stunned at the sight. She stared straight at him with her beautiful eyes. He whispered to her, and his voice was hoarse.
"Remember this moment, no matter where you go or who you are."
Kimberly had a long dream.
In her dream, she turned into a little white rabbit and lost her way in the mountain forest. Then, she ran into a big grey wolf. The wolf looked like it was starving. It frightened the little white rabbit, and it turned around and ran away.
But its legs were too short, so it did not manage to escape from the big grey wolf.
Soon, the big grey wolf caught it.
Then, it swallowed the little white rabbit alive and there was not even a bone left behind.
Kimberly was frightened awake by the nightmare. She woke up and snapped her eyes open!
She then found out that she was in a room with white surroundings. The instrument next to her was making noises, and she could smell the disinfectants in the room.
It was the hospital!
"But... why am I here?" she thought.
