Chapter 619
Seeing that Derek had not spoken for a long time, Meredith immediately felt uneasy.
She wondered if her words had hurt his overly high self-esteem.
Just as she was about to say something to explain her intentions, Derek said, "Do you not care if I don't
get well for the rest of my life?"
Meredith nodded without hesitation.
If she cared, she wouldn't have come here.
This decision was made after careful consideration.
Seeing Meredith's reaction, Derek looked down to hide the complicated look in his eyes.
Did she know that this kind of reaction would make him want to tell her the truth right away? This silly
woman, he couldn't bear to deceive her...
However, Derek did not know how Meredith would react if he told her. If she left in a fit of anger, he
would be doomed.
So, he had to continue the show.
Meredith saw his expression and thought that he had suffered too much because of this incident. She
felt sorry for him immediately.
"I think medical advance is developing so fast now that you might be able to fully recover one day.
Don't be too upset. It's useless to worry about it all the time."
Meredith comforted Derek. When he heard her, he looked up at her. "If I were better, would you leave?"
Meredith was stunned for a moment.
One of the important reasons why she came was that she couldn't bear to leave him alone since he got
hurt.
If he was better and she kept staying by his side, would it be completely unnecessary?
"Maybe, when you get better, you won't need me anymore, and then you don't care if I leave or not."
"Of course I do."
When Derek heard Meredith's words, he couldn't help but get angry.
Why did this woman deny herself and his feelings for her?
"From beginning to end, no matter who I am, you are the only woman I want."
Derek's eyes were fixed on Meredith's eyes, and he spoke very seriously.
Meredith looked at the man's dark eyes, which were not as unpredictable as they used to be. At this
moment, they were full of sincerity.
Her heart suddenly went haywire. She was never good at dealing with this kind of situation, especially
now that the man's eyes were extremely affectionate, just looking at them, she had the illusion of
drowning in it.
"I... I'll go out and get you some water."
Meredith really didn't know how to face him, so she hurriedly found an excuse and ran out.
As soon as she went out, she could not help but touch her burning cheek, which was very hot.
As soon as she came out, she realized that she didn't carry any glasses with her...
Meredith couldn't help but get a little annoyed. Why was she so defenseless against that man's serious
gaze...
However, going back now would only make her look even sillier. Meredith stayed outside for a while,
found a bathroom, went in, and washed her face with cold water to calm down a little.
After a while, Meredith looked at the time. It was almost lunchtime. She went to the canteen to buy Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
some dishes that Derek liked, and then went back.
Derek had been waiting for her to come back, but he didn't expect it to be so long. He almost went out
to look for her. When he saw Meredith come in, he didn't mention what happened just now, so that she
wouldn't be embarrassed. "You're back."
"Well, I bring you something to eat. You must be hungry too, right?"
Meredith also pretended to forget what happened just now and put the food on the bed.
"I don't know if you like it or not. If not, I'll go to buy again."
Meredith always felt that if they didn't talk, the atmosphere was so weird that she couldn't help but find
topics to talk about.
"I like it."
Derek looked at the food that Meredith brought back. They were all his favorite dishes.
Unexpectedly, she remembered it very clearly.
This made Derek feel much better.
She kept saying that she didn't care about him, but she didn't act like that at all.
"I like everything you bought for me."
Derek said calmly, the expression on his face was still indifferent, but what he said almost made
Meredith's mood, which had just calmed down, chaotic again.
When did Derek become so good at sweet talks and say things that were not his style?
"You'd better hurry up and eat."
Meredith blushed slightly and handed the chopsticks to Derek, telling him to eat and not to say anything
more.
Derek looked at Meredith's embarrassed face and suddenly thought of teasing her. "My hand hurts.
The doctor said I can't use chopsticks recently."
When Meredith heard this, she looked at Derek apologetically. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect..."
"If you don't mind, you can feed me."
Derek immediately opened his mouth and said this before Meredith apologized.
Meredith was stunned when she heard this. She did not expect Derek to make such an "unreasonable"
request.
However, looking at the man's bandaged hand, Meredith still couldn't bear to refuse. "Then... Well..."
