After chatting with Belinda for a while in the ward, Alva left.
When she walked out of the ward, she happened to run into Derek and greeted him, "Mr. Derek Steele, you're here."
Alva had met Derek before, so she was no stranger to him.
An affable man with a short beard, he had excellent composure and often wore a smile on his face. He carried an innate charm and charisma that could make one fall for him in a moment of carelessness.
Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, Derek looked like a business tycoon, with a sophisticated touch of elegance.
"Why are you crying?"
He tilted his head and glanced at Alva's red and swollen eye sockets. Noticing the tears on her cheeks, he took out a pocket square from the pocket of his suit and handed it to her directly. "What a beauty you are, Alva. Colbert just doesn't quite know how to treat women right," he remarked.
In a slight surprise, Alva looked at the pocket square that the gentlemanly Derek had offered her to wipe away her tears.
She had met him on several occasions, but they couldn't be considered to be very familiar with each other.
His actions today seemed a little strange to Alva.
"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Derek Steele."
Alva took the pocket square in his hand, wiped away her tears, and choked up while sobbing. "That was embarrassing. My apologies, Mr. Derek Steele."
"Don't be sorry. We're family."
Derek reached out and patted Alva's shoulder while saying, "There is nothing pretty about a girl crying. Colbert is a responsible person. He won't let you down."
A moment of silence ensued, and Belinda frowned. After giving it some thought, she said, "Be careful with it, and try not to let Colbert find out."
Although she trusted Eudora, Belinda thought she might be blindsided at times since she was getting old after all.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Before the truth came to light, every person was a potential suspect.
Besides, everything about the wedding was directly related to Eudora, so it was necessary to investigate!
"Okay, I'll get to it right away," Derek agreed. After exchanging a few words with Belinda in the ward, he left.
