Last night, Derek's condition suddenly plummeted, which scared Christina, Charles and the others.
The sun was rising and shining as if everything had returned to normal.
Charles explained guiltily, "Derek's condition shouldn't be so bad. He just had an external injury. We have experience with external injuries... I don't know why it suddenly became so serious."
Fortunately, Derek quickly returned to normal after he was rolled to the emergency room last night. He did not need surgery. In three hours, his blood pressure and heart rate returned to normal, and all the indicators were normal. Even the doctor was amazed and could not believe it.
"I admit, we were too impulsive."
After a long night, Charles calmed down. He was more rational during the day. He saw with his own eyes that Derek was suddenly in critical condition and almost lost his life. Charles regretted and reflected on himself.
He only wanted to know the whole story. He didn't want Derek dead.
Christina looked at him expressionlessly and didn't say anything.
At this time, only the two of them were outside Derek's ward. Charles knew that she was very angry. Every time Derek was involved, Christina seemed to stand by his side without hesitation.
Charles saw that she was still ignoring him. He lost his patience. He said with self-mockery, "I see. Patrick and I are bullies. Derek is the innocent one."
The elevator door opened, and a figure ran over angrily. When Charles heard the hurried footsteps, he turned around and saw Larry coming to them furiously, "You self-righteous rich bastards. You motherfucker. Do you think you could get away with this if you don't have your family to protect you?"
Larry punched Charles in the nose angrily.
"Ah -" Charles cried out in pain. Seeing the person in front of him, he did not fight back.
He covered his nose and cursed in pain, "What is wrong with you." Larry was Derek's uncle. Charles knew him. But Larry beat him up without saying anything, Charles only thought that Larry was crazy.
"It was because of Derek's suspicious behavior that we suspected him..."
"You beat him up like this because you suspected him! Charles Shepherd! You have the guts. Don't give me the chance, or I will mess you up! You never know when you will be the less fortunate one!"
Larry regarded Charles as his enemy and scolded him.
"Stop." Christina didn't want to see them arguing outside the ward. She tugged at Larry, "Derek was injured when they found him."
Larry turned to look at her, his eyes were cold. He mocked her, "You actually believe them, rich men like them who have been spoiled since they were little..."
"I know the area where Derek lives well. I sent someone to ask. No one went in before they went into Derek's apartment." Larry was still angry. He glared at Charles, "You bullying bastards..."
Christina's expression froze. She quickly looked at Charles, "Did you lie?"
Charles yelled at them angrily, "Damn it, I swear to god that we really didn't beat Derek. Christina, how could you not believe us!"
Larry listened and sneered, "Then go in and ask Derek..."
"We didn't do it!" Charles was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Then who was lying?
Christina's mind was blank and confused, probably because she hadn't rested for the whole night.
"Stop it." She called out in a low voice.
Larry and Charles didn't seem to be in the mood to quarrel either. They looked at each other angrily and hated each other.
"Aren't the Fisher family coming?" Christina looked at the door of the ward. She suddenly remembered what the doctor said last night, they would contact Derek's family with a critical condition notice.
This was a very absurd joke.
"The Fisher family. They received the call and all pretended not to know. It would be better for them if Derek died on the operating table. They can get more from the family property with one less person to share." Larry gritted his teeth and sneered. How cold was the family? They only had money in their eyes.
Christina had long known that Derek had always been alone in the world.
Since he was born, no one had protected him. He didn't understand love because he never got to be loved.
Christina lowered her head, feeling heavy.
"You should go back to the Hopkins family," Larry looked at her and said coldly, "I heard that you are doing well in the Hopkins family, and Senior Mr. Hopkins treats you very well. These rich families are most afraid of gossips."
Larry gave her a push, his tone cold.
He hoped that Christina would not live well in the Hopkins family, so at least there would be some excuses for him to get closer to her. But she was Hopkins family's granddaughter-in-law. And he had always been at odds with the Hopkins family.
"Leave now. This is not the place you should be now. You shouldn't stay here."
Larry turned around and entered the ward. With a bang, he quickly shut and locked the door.
The empty corridor echoed Larry's aggressive words. She was one of the Hopkins family and shouldn't stay here.
