Meredith could not help but frown. The mark on the man's perfect face was an obvious flaw, and it was uncomfortable to look at.
"It's nothing."
Derek didn't care. It was just a light bruise he got by accident when fighting with Asher. There was nothing serious.
Meredith pouted. "Have you forgotten what you said to me yesterday?"
How could this man care so less about his own injuries?
"So, are you caring about me?"
Derek figured out the meaning hidden in her words, so he looked happy.
"Sort... Sort of." Meredith was a little embarrassed when being stared at by him, so she got up. "I'll get some ointment for you."
Derek did not refuse. Since Meredith insisted, there was no need for him to be pretentious. Besides, the way she cared about him did make him happy.
Meredith took the ointment she had used, took some with a cotton swab, and rubbed it on Derek's wounds. "Did you offend anyone?"
But she still couldn't understand after thinking about it over and over again. Derek always had people accompanying him when he went out. And he was at the Xavier Group on usual days, where the security system was very strict. How could anyone dare to hurt him?
Moreover, the wounds were on his face.
"It's nothing." Derek saw Meredith's worry and held her hand, as if he was giving her strength and faith.
Although the relationship between Asher and Derek had already reached this point, he still felt that it was worthwhile when he was looking at the woman in front of him.
"..." Meredith didn't say anything. Looking into Derek's serious eyes, she knew that he just didn't want to say anything for he didn't want to worry her.
Well, maybe she should trust him.
"I see."
Meredith nodded and stopped asking questions. Derek also nodded and threw the things in her hands aside, pulled Meredith into his arms, and was about to enjoy some intimacy with her. Suddenly, a nurse opened the door and walked in. "Miss Mason..."
Meredith pushed Derek away as if she had been electrocuted and sat up, looking at the nurse awkwardly.
"I'm sorry..." The nurse was startled, especially when she saw Derek's cold eyes, and she was almost too afraid to say anything.
"You are recovering well. You can be discharged after another examination."
Meredith let out a sigh of relief when she heard this. "I see. You can leave now."
The nurse then hurried out. If she did not leave, she would have been killed by Derek with his eyes.
"I'm almost fully recovered. What do you think if we go to Leo today? I just want to hear what he has to say."
Meredith was always thinking about it, and she especially wanted to find out where her mother was.
"Okay." Derek noticed her anxiety and did not stop her. "Get changed, we'll go find him."
Meredith nodded, feeling a little more excited.
...
After a short while, Meredith got changed, and Derek was already waiting for her downstairs.
Derek leaned casually against the cool sapphire sports car. Although it was just a very normal action, Derek looked like a famous model, showing his temperament in every move.
