Asher's eyes grew grimmer at these words.
"I see."
He would not let this happen. Even if he would be enemies with his friend for many years, even if the Floreses and the Xaviers would turn against each other, he absolutely could not let Derek and Meredith bound in connection, which would completely drive Chloe crazy.
Just as he was thinking, Derek walked over from the other end of the corridor.
Chloe's unusual behavior just now shocked him. After all, he had known her for many years, and he couldn't watch her get into trouble, so he rushed over.
Seeing Asher, Derek was relieved. "How is she?"
"Now you are asking?" Asher looked at him coldly instead of joking around as usual. "Isn't it all because of you? What do you think has happened to her?"
Derek was a little annoyed by his strange tone. Asher had never spoken to him like this before. "What's going on?"
"Chloe is suffering from bipolar disorder! Because you're with the hit-and-run criminal, you're deliberately humiliating her!"
Asher was so excited that he rushed up, grabbed Derek's collar, and pushed him against the wall.
"Bipolar disorder?" Derek obviously didn't think of that either. "Are you sure? Has the doctor seen her?"
Although he had always known that Chloe's mental endurance was not strong, Derek still found it hard to believe that she had a mental illness.
"Do you think I am lying to you?"
When Asher heard him say that, he sneered and called the doctor out, asking him to repeat what he had just said.
Derek's expression became serious. Indeed, Chloe did something wrong, but he just wanted her to calm down and not disturb Meredith. It was not his intention to force her into having this kind of problem after all.
"I'll call a doctor and help her recovered as soon as possible."
Derek did not hesitate and immediately took out his phone to call some famous doctors he knew, but Asher stopped him.
"No need. I'll find a doctor, and it's not what you should do!"
Derek looked at Asher's indifferent face and soon understood what he meant.
"You want to force me?"
"To break up with that kind of woman is what you should do! It's not a bad thing to do that! Chloe is a thousand times better than her!"
Derek's forehead twitched, especially when he heard Asher say that Meredith was a bad woman. He reached out his hand and pushed the man who was holding him back, causing him to stagger back. "Remember, don't say this in front of me. This time, I won't argue with you. But next time..."
Derek's eyes were formidable. Since he had already decided that Meredith was his woman, he would not let anyone insult her casually, even if this person was his godbrother he had known for many years.
"Isn't she? A woman who's been in prison, a woman whose fiancé and sister are living together. What kind of decent woman can she be? Derek, didn't you get close to no woman before? Why are you so obsessed with a woman like her?"
When Asher saw Derek defending Meredith, he was even angrier. Chloe was with Derek, much longer than he was with Meredith, but Chloe still failed in comparison with her.
"As I said, don't talk nonsense."
Derek clenched his fist and hit Asher hard in the face.
Asher could barely dodge, and the resentment in his heart grew stronger. For that woman, Derek actually fought with him. Was Derek really crazy?
