Christina looked at Derek for a while, feeling a little at loss. She immediately got up to look for the medical record and a pile of CT reports hanging at the end of the bed.
All indicators of his physical examinations were quite good, and the CT test for his brain also showed normal.
Derek himself had a Ph.D. in medicine, and his talent was extraordinary. He knew it better than many authorities. But now, he did not understand what was wrong with his body, and these doctors could not help him.
Crystal didn't know much about medicine and suggested, "Why don't we go to another hospital or go abroad for a checkup..."
Derek did not panic at all.
He looked indifferent and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. Three days later, it would be the fifteenth of the month, a day of a full moon.
"Bae, I'm leaving the hospital." He suddenly told to her in a low voice.
Christina disagreed, "You haven't been diagnosed yet. Why do you leave the hospital? Just stay there."
Derek was more stubborn than anyone else. When he said he wanted to be discharged, he mean exactly what he said.
He got up and went under the bed to take out a bag. There were several files with copies of the contract documents in the bag. He handed it to her.
"What is this?"
Derek looked at her and hesitated, "Help me hand it to Peter. It's... It's the company's documents."
Hearing that they were company documents, Christina took them without further concerns.
Suddenly, an acquaintance stood at the door, "It turns out that you spend all day outside dealing with a man. Now I'll see how you explain it." Ms. Hopkins took a picture of Christina and the others with her phone.
Christina turned around and immediately became angry, "Ms. Hopkins, you can still run around in the hospital after being hospitalized. Is your leg okay?" She gritted her teeth.
"Oh, what do you want to do, scare me?"
Ms. Hopkins was smashed by something last time, now she had recovered 70% from her injuries. She was still in a cast, and neither of them had a good temper when they met.
Ms. Hopkins looked as if she had something against Christina and said coldly, "Christina, you have married into my Hopkins family. How dare you hook up outside..."
Christina was angry. The last time Ms. Hopkins was smashed by something in the leg and she inexplicably said that Christina was the one who did it. This was slander.
This Ms. Hopkins did not know how to behave properly as an elder. Christina also directly rebuked her angrily, "Ms. Hopkins, you are married to another family already, but you always speak 'we the Hopkins family'. Now that you are a daughter-in-law of another family, won't you be embarrassed if you always talk about 'we the Hopkins family'?"
Ms. Hopkins looked furious hearing Christina surprisingly saying this, "You, you flirtatious bitch..."
Christina had argued with Ms. Hopkins too many times. So she pretended not to care and ridiculed, "Ms. Hopkins, you act as if you were a princess with such a bad temper. You are no longer young, and still, you take yourself as the young Miss Lassie of the Hopkins family. I really pity your daughter, your daughter-in-law, and your granddaughter. They must extremely hate you secretly. You have to have some self-awareness."
"Patrick, look at your wife. How vicious she is..."
Ms. Hopkins suddenly raised her voice and let out a cry of grievance.
Christina's expression changed slightly. She looked at the corridor. Patrick and Charles were walking towards her.
They heard Christina's last sentence clearly.
Vicious.
Christina did not want to refute at all. She did not want to be humiliated by these so-called elders of the Hopkins family. She did not want to endure it any longer.
Lassie limped and dragged her leg in a cast. She anxiously walked to Patrick's side, used her phone to show the picture she had just taken of Christina and Derek leaning close together, "Patrick, look, look at your wife, she's with another man..."
Patrick glanced at the screen and then looked up at her.
Christina found it amusing. She finally understood why Patrick looked like that when he dragged her to the hospital for pregnancy tests. At that time, he thought she was cheating on him and that she had another lover. He had never really trusted her.
The most serious taboo for a daughter-in-law from a rich and powerful family was to avoid having too much contact with other men. If she shook hands or met with another man other than her husband, she would be accused of cheating even when there was no evidence for such accuse.
Christina looked cold, then she approached the door. Then, she stretched out her right hand and slammed the door of the ward.
Ms. Hopkins and the others stood outside the ward, hearing a bang. Christina looked gloomy. She didn't want to talk to these people at all.
The door was closed, but it did not mean that people outside the door could not come in. Patrick turned the door open and looked at Christina with complicated eyes.
"Derek, what's wrong?" He suddenly asked.
Crystal was in the ward. She nervously approached Christina and whispered near her ear, "Pease talk properly." Crystal was afraid that Christina's sudden impulse would make the atmosphere even more stifling.
Christina suppressed her irritation and looked at Patrick coldly. She did not lose her temper and tried to ask calmly, "Can you help him?"
Such a question was like a request between strangers.
"Your relative is very ugly."
Derek walked up to Christina as if deliberately blocking her behind him. His blue eyes looked at Patrick, then he calmly told Patrick, "The people around you are really annoying."
Derek didn't usually talk to people. The two men looked at each other. What Derek had just said obviously showed that he hated people from the Hopkins family. Those people were mean, ferocious, and scheming in rich families.
Larry also barged in. He came to help with handling procedures for being discharged from the hospital. He glanced at Patrick in the ward. Subconsciously, he was the one who did not like people from the Hopkins family. However, rationally speaking, Larry hoped that Patrick could help. After all, Derek's medical situation was very complicated.
Derek seemed to have ignored Patrick's existence. He said to Christina, "Don't lose the bag." He rarely warned her like this.
Christina's hand was held by Derek, which seemed like the last handshake. Derek looked at her with deep eyes and said in a deep and mellow voice, "Bae, I'm leaving."
Christina was slightly stunned and her mind was in a trance for a moment. When she tried to hold him back with force, Derek simply let go of her hand.
