"What's wrong? Your wound hurts?"
The man's voice was very pleasant, but it made her headache even worse. She patted Derek's hand off and dripped with cold sweat. "I'm fine..."
Derek looked thoughtfully at his hand that was waved away by her.
This seemed to be the first time he had been pushed away by a woman.
After a while, the pain eased, and Nora gasped for breath. Seeing that Derek's hands had been beaten red by herself, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I just felt a little uncomfortable, but I'm fine now. And, the remuneration, I don't need it. I don't want anything, that's all."
Nora suddenly wanted this man to leave.
Her instinct told her that this man was dangerous and not someone she should mess up with.
Derek looked at her stubborn expression, which clearly had no resemblance with Meredith, but he still felt something familiar from her. "You... Have you ever been to J City? Have we met before?"
Nora was stunned for a moment, but soon she shook her head in denial. Although she had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, she had no specific memory.
"Sorry," Derek took two steps back.
Today, he was really a little abnormal. He was always cold to women, but surprisingly he didn't hate the woman in front of him.
Just as the two of them were lost in their own thoughts, Easton ran back with two ice packs in his hands, who was somewhat ostentatious.
"I'm back. Look, what I have got?"
However, when he saw Derek Easton became obedient immediately, like a mouse seeing a cat, and he put ice bags on the table right away.
Nora chuckled.
Easton blushed when he saw Nora laughing at him. What a shame!
"What are you laughing at? Is your face not hurting anymore? Hurry up to put the ice pack on it, or you will become ugly."
Easton said awkwardly, hiding his embarrassment.
"Easton, manners."
Derek frowned. He didn't want to see Easton being rebellious. Easton grew up being spoiled, and even Derek couldn't bear to be too strict with this brat.
He didn't know if it was because of this, but sometimes Easton really didn't talk like a five-year-old child.
"I... I was wrong. I didn't mean it."
"It's okay. I know that."
Seeing that Easton was upset, Nora quickly helped him out.
Easton heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Nora. "By the way, I don't even know your name."
"My name is Nora."
When she said that name, she herself felt a little dazed. She couldn't remember anything at that time, and she didn't have any identifiable information. Even the name she was using now was given to her by Sheldon.
At that time, he said that the name meant that nothing needed to be worry from now on, so it was a name that great hopes were placed on it.
