It was past 1 a.m.And the neighborhood was quiet.
The living room of one of the apartments was brightly lit.
Crystal quickly took out the medical kit and frowned at Derek, who was covered in injuries.She fell into deep thought.
Derek actually went to fight with Patrick.
Looking at the injuries, she could imagine that they fought too fiercely...
"Do you need help?" She saw that he seemed to have hurt his back.
"No." Derek simply refused.
Although he was hurt all over, he was not anxious at all.
He did not frown, and he was still so calm as if he did not feel the pain even if he was hurt.
"Why are you fighting?"
Crystal was warm-hearted, and she felt sorry when she saw the bruises and bleeding on Derek's handsome face.
Crystal was suddenly a little annoyed.
She remembered that Patrick was very strong and he was good at Thai boxing, but Derek was so thin and quiet.How could Patrick do this!
"He's not much better."
Derek seemed to know what she was thinking.
Without raising his head, he said slowly.
"Did Patrick also get hurt?" Crystal asked subconsciously.
Suddenly, she froze and her expression changed.
She immediately sat down beside Derek and asked him anxiously, "Has Patrick returned home?!"
Only then did Crystal realize the point.
Patrick was back?! Derek did not answer her, and his emotionless face became a little gloomy.
Finally, he whispered to her, "Don't let Christina know it"
Crystal paused for a moment.She had heard him call out the word "Christina" in such a clear and deep voice many times.
His voice was as calm as his temperament, and it was very pleasant to hear.And it sounded so natural as if it was a habit of his life.
"Since Patrick is back, why can't let Christina know it?" Crystal didn't understand.
Derek remained silent.
He took the anti-inflammatory drug and ointment from the table and went to the bathroom.
In the early morning, the living room was quiet, and only Crystal's voice echoed.
Finally, Crystal sighed and looked at the clock on the wall.
It was late at night.
Then she turned off the lights in the living room and went back to her room to rest.
Soon the night returned to peace.
However, Crystal did not know that the door of the next room opened a little.
