Book TRK
Chapter 246
Chapter 246
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.
Christina inside was leaning against a wall and heard their conversation clearly.He’s back.He’s already
back…
Sitting by the bed, there was no light on in the small room.
There was a layer of gauze curtains in front of the right window.
The street lights outside faintly shone in, and the orange light was not dazzling.
This was the new curtain that Derek had asked someone to put in.
He knew that if it was too bright, she would be restless.
And if it was too dark, she would be afraid.
He had always known her very well.
It was already November, and it was a little cold at night.
Christina sat against the head of the bed and hugged her knees with both hands.
She turned to look at the bright green alarm clock on the bedside table in a daze.
It was 1: 45 in the morning, and the hour hand of the clock moved very slowly.
She couldn’t sleep.She hoped that time would pass a little faster and that dawn would come soon.She
fixed her eyes on the clock and kept looking forward to it, just like she had been looking forward to a
miracle for more than 40 days.
If he came back, everything would be alright.
As long as he came back, everything would come right in the end.
At night, the neighborhood was very quiet.
Perhaps everyone was asleep.
Until the street lights outside turned off automatically, it was dark before dawn.
She still sat there and held the little alarm clock tightly.She knew that after this moment, it would soon
be dawn.She could wait.
Soon the sky turned white, and the curtains let in a hazy light again.
At 6:00 in the morning, Crystal got up with dark eye circles on her face.
And she went to brush her teeth and take a bath, then she was about to go to the kitchen to make
breakfast.
When she passed Christina’s room, she suddenly stopped.
“Christina, what do you want for breakfast…”
She opened the door and then she froze.
Where was Christina?! Derek got hurt yesterday.
He slept on the sofa in the living room and didn’t wake up until Crystal rushed over and roared at him,
“Christina is missing!”
Derek woke up in shock and frowned.
Both of them were thinking about the same thing.
Christina must have gone to find Patrick. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Sure enough, Christina couldn’t wait to find Patrick, so she went to the Hopkins family.
For the first time, she was stopped outside by the grand iron gate of the Hopkins family.
On the other side of the door was a familiar face, but he said the cruelest words.
“Miss Dickens, this is the divorce agreement for you.”
