The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 74

Derek's tone was still cold and commanding, and Meredith shook her head. "Don't bother. I can deal with it later."

The ointment was usually very pungent, and Derek might find it unpleasant to apply it in the car, so Meredith decided to deal with it after they leave the car.

"It's not that hard." Derek looked at Meredith and shook his head. His eyes darkened. This woman was really brave enough. Her wound was swollen like a steamed bun, but she didn't want to deal with it until they come back.

"Let's go back to the company." As Meredith was speaking, Derek suddenly opened the car door on her side and picked her up from her seat.

Meredith was startled, but the man quickly opened the back door and put her in, in a not very gentle way. "Bring me the ointment. I'll help you with it."

Since Meredith didn't want to do it herself, he would do it for her.

"Ah? It's not necessary..." Meredith was shocked. The help from Derek was a joke for her.

But before she could finish her words, Derek grabbed her calf and lifted her injured foot.

"Ah!" Meredith called out lightly. She was wearing a dress now. Although she wore leggings, she still felt uncomfortable about being lifted up by a man like this.

"I'm fine. I'll do it myself." Seeing that he was serious about helping her, Meredith blushed for this.

Meredith hurriedly reached out to get the ointment back from the man's hand, but Derek didn't mean to let her go at all. Instead of loosening his grip on her leg, he exerted more force on her.

"Don't move." Derek's voice was hoarse and sexy. It made Meredith's whole body numb and she didn't dare to move anymore. She just pressed her skirt and looked at the man's movements.

Derek lowered his head and applied the ointment on his hands. Meredith looked at his side face, which was as elegant as a sculpture. There was an irresistible concentration in his eyes. As the saying goes, a focused man was the most handsome one. Meredith didn't agree with it before, but now she couldn't be distracted from him.

"It might hurt a little, you have to bear it." Derek took off Meredith's high heels and looked at the terrible height of them. Being a woman was really tiring.

"Yeah, it's okay." Meredith woke up from her dazed state and quickly turned her head away from Derek.

How could she be immersed in him...

Before Meredith had time to despise herself, there was a sudden sharp pain in her ankle, which almost made her cry out. However, she quickly held back. When Derek finished applying the ointment, Meredith almost bit her lip bleeding.

"If it hurts, just scream out. Don't try to be strong." Derek glanced at her. It was the first time he had seen a woman so patient.

Usually, those girls cry loudly when they get a little hurt for others' sympathy.

However, Meredith's silence and strength made him feel better. He picked up his shoes and threw them aside. "Next time don't wear them. Jameson only cares about your look. You can tell him stop."

Meredith retracted her feet and felt the heat remaining on the skin he had just touched, making her heart warm again.

"I see. It's actually my problem. I haven't tried these sort of shoes in a long time. I'm not used to them."

Meredith lowered her head, afraid that Derek would see her blushing face.

Derek went to buy her a pair of flats and gave her a ride home.
