Christina hurried to Derek's apartment.
Clutching the second key to the apartment and pondering the night's events, she nervously but gently opened the door, afraid that she would disturb Derek's rest.
As she walked towards Derek's bedroom, she heard Larry complaining, "You don't know how wild and overbearing she is. When she gets here and sees you in this miserable state, she's gonna blame me. I really don't understand how her grandfather made her practice judo since she was a child. She's always fierce."
Christina walked in expressionless and listened to Larry accusing herself of being inhumane.
Turning around, Larry found her. He felt guilty and blushed.
Christina was about to refute, but she soon noticed that Larry was just mumbling, and Derek, who was sitting by the bed, lowered his head and didn't listen at all.
Larry tugged at her sleeve and whispered worriedly, "Derek has been silent and ignoring me since he woke up this morning."
Therefore, Larry had no choice but to keep mentioning Christina in front of Derek. After all, she was probably the only one who could make Derek care.
But after scolding Christina for nearly an hour, Derek still did not respond.
Christina was also a little worried when she saw that he was still with his head down.
"Eric." She slowly sat next to Derek and called out to him.
Unlike usual, Derek did not look up and respond to her, nor did he call her "Bae."
Derek's sickly gaunt side face had some bruises on the cheeks and his blue eyes were hollow, seemingly absorbed in his own world, deep in thought about something.
"You stay here and watch. I'll go out for a while." Larry talked to Christina in a low voice, then turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
The messy furniture in the living room of the apartment had not been tidied up yet. Derek was not fond of outsiders entering his house. Larry had been busy last night, worrying about Derek's health. She was exhausted from cleaning the house as Derek's part-time nanny.
Despite the Hopkins family's rules, Christina's presence with Derek today would help Larry get some rest.
Christina also knew that Larry put up with a lot, as Derek was a dissocial man.
Christina sat ten centimeters away from Derek. She still remembered when they were little, she suddenly came close to him, and he was shocked. Derek was a super sensitive person since childhood, now she had to just sit quietly.
They sat quietly by the bed, each in a daze.
Although Christina was usually irritable, she was very patient with Derek as that was how she grew up with Derek.
"Eric, drink water."
After sitting there for two hours, Christina's body stiffened. She stretched out her arms, got up, and walked out gently, bringing in a cup of warm water.
Derek's reaction was very slow. He first looked up at the glass in front of him and examined it for about ten minutes before reaching out to take it and taking a sip very slowly.
Christina sighed.
If it was someone else, she would have forced that person to drink the water.
But she couldn't be angry at Derek, either because of his handsome face or his temperament.
"Eric, tell me. What happened last night?" Christina asked him calmly. It was her limit to endure her angry and impatience until now.
"I forgot."
Derek responded slowly, but his answer drove her crazy.
Christina was so worried that she almost wanted to shake him. She raised her voice and asked, "You smashed the house into a mess and put a tie around your neck."
Only then did Derek raise her head and look straight at her. His voice was hoarse. "I don't remember."
