Kimberly Shell woke up in a clean and tidy room.
The layout of the room was very simple, but it was quite stylish. There were also a few sketches attached to the wall.
The wind was blowing the light grey curtain gently, and it was a bit cool.
Where was she?
Kimberly sat up slowly, and pain shot through her arm. When she lowered her head, she found that there was gauze wrapped around her arm.
"Are you awake?"
Hearing a warm voice from beside her, Kimberly raised her head.
To her surprise, Benedict Yardley had walked in, holding a glass of warm water in his hand. He walked towards her and handed it to her.
"Have a glass of water. You must be thirsty," Benedict said.
Kimberly looked at him in a daze, and then she reached out to take the glass. She was really thirsty and her lips were dry. Kimberly gulped the water down hastily.
As he saw that, Benedict could not help but speak, "Slow down, you might choke on the water."
Kimberly paused, admiring Benedict's voice...
What a gentlemen! Kimberly sipped the water slowly. When she was about to put the glass down, Benedict reached out and wiped her lips.
His movements were natural and gentle, as though he had done it millions of times. Kimberly was stunned.
What was he doing? He even touched the corner of her mouth with his finger!
After realizing this, Kimberly tilted her head backwards to avoid his touch.
Benedict looked at ease. He did not look offended at all. He did not realize that he had troubled Kimberly's heart by doing that. He took the glass away from Kimberly's hand and said, "You should get up, I've made you a meal."
A meal?
At the mention of food, Kimberly's stomach immediately growled.
Her face blushed and she quickly covered her stomach.
Benedict smiled and he said gently, "Hurry."
There was not a hint of mockery in his eyes. His calm glance pacified Kimberly. Then she nodded and got up from the bed.
After getting up, Kimberly was surprised to find that she was no longer wearing the hospital gown.
She subconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes.
"Don't worry. It was the servant who helped you to change your clothes." Benedict assured her. Benedict's explanation was timely. When Kimberly finally came to her senses, her cheek turned rosy again.
Even though she did not say anything, but he seemed to know what she was thinking about. Kimberly followed him to the dining table awkwardly.
There were several dishes and a bowl of soup on the table, and they all looked scrumptious.
Kimberly had been starving for a long time. She gulped instinctively and sat down at the dinner table.
"Let's eat." Benedict smiled lightly. He took a plate of spaghetti and gave it to her with a set of cutlery.
"Thank you, Benedict." Kimberly thanked him and then sat down to eat. She was really hungry.
She hadn't eaten anything since the day before, but she managed to endure the hunger.
She had once starved for three days and three nights when she was a child. There was no water or food, yet she survived!
Hence, nothing would happen to her even if she had starved for a whole day! Kimberly feasted on the spaghetti and thought, "I must be strong."
She had gone through the nightmare of her childhood.
