The doctor was completely frightened by Derek’s aura.
This was the first she felt like risking her life when she was working.
She trembled and said, “Nothing serious. It’s just, it’s just…”
“Just what?” Derek roared.
“It’s just that Ms. Serena’s vagina is torn a bit and swollen.”
Hearing this, Derek’s brows furrowed even more tightly. It was all because of him.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve already applied ointment to her. Just remember to apply it as the instruction says. She will recover in a week.”
Derek nodded, “Where’s the ointment?”
“It’s on the table.”
“Go downstairs and ask Mr. Henry for the consultation fee.”
“All right.” Just as the doctor finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, “Mr. Derek…”
“Just say it.”
“She had better not have sex recently in case the wound is infected again or she gets new wound.”
Derek glanced at her in displeasure.
The doctor immediately left. She thought she might be killed by Derek if she stayed any longer!
Ernest came back from the outside. He had been drinking in the bedroom the whole morning. Having been invited by his friend later, he had went out. As soon as he came back, he saw the doctor.
A female doctor?
Is Serena ill?
Ernest immediately took the elevator to the sixth floor and met with Derek who was standing in the corridor. “Uncle, what happened to Serena? I just saw a doctor come over. Is she…”
Derek wanted to come into the bedroom. But when he heard Ernest’s voice, he stopped and answered, “What?”
“What’s wrong with Serena?” Ernest stood still two meters away from Derek for he was so condescending. It was dangerous to get closer to him.
“She’s fine, just…” Derek paused for a moment before continuing, “She’s suffering from heatstroke.”
“Heatstroke?”
Ernest was puzzled. Serena said she was going to mess up Sammy’s wedding. She should have been in the hotel all the time. How could she suffer from the heatstroke?
“It’s heat stroke. What’s wrong?”
“Then I’ll go see her.” As he spoke, Ernest walked towards the bedroom. As soon as he reached the door, Derek blocked his way by his arm.
Ernest looked at his uncle in confusion. Though Derek looked indifferent, but Ernest could feel that he was aggravated.
“It’s not appropriate for a nephew to usually come into his aunt’s bedroom, is it?”
“What?” Ernest was stunned. Did Derek say Serena is his aunt?
They got married by accident. Did he really think she is his wife?
“Since she is your aunt, I will take care of her. So don’t worry about it.” Then he pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom.
Ernest stood there in astonishment.
Shit. Has his uncle fallen for Serena?
No way. Derek won’t like her.
However, Ernest had no choice but to leave.
When Derek entered the bedroom, Serena was awake.
Leaning against the back of the bed, she was glassy-eyed, losing her vigor.
Derek slowly walked to the bedside and sat down. He looked at Serena, finding there were still tears on her face.
It hurt a lot, didn’t it?
Derek stretched his hand out, wanting to touch her little face, but Serena dodged and moved to the other side of the bed!
She looked much frightened as she stared at Derek with her glassy eyes. She was even quivering.
Derek slowly put down his hand.
He sat on the bed, and she looked at him in horror.
For twenty minutes, they stayed like this without any word and any move.
All of a sudden, Derek sighed, but he didn’t move.
“Serena, when you’re with me, there’s one thing you need to learn. That’s to escape.”
Derek talked in a low and attractive voice. He spoke very slowly as if he was worried that she wouldn’t catch what he said.
That’s right, you must learn to escape when you are with him, because he’s violent.
When young, he liked to solve problems with force. Although he learnt to control himself now, he would be out of control once he was provoked.
He could not control himself, so he let her learn to escape.
Serena pursed her lips and said, “What if I can’t escape?”
Derek turned his head to look at Serena, “Then run for your life.”
“If I run away, will you let me go?”
“Yes.”
Derek’s words seemed like a promise, a firm promise.
He gazed at the ointment on the bedside table and said softly, “Have a good rest.” Then he left.
Serena still looked scary.
She was really scared.
Derek went into the living room, still with that horrible look. No one dared to step forward.
“Henry.”
“Yes, Mr. Derek!” Henry immediately stepped forward.
“Call Donald and tell him that I have to work from home these days. All the meetings that I have to attend will be changed to videoconferencing. Tell him to bring the documents home for my review every day.”
“Yes.”
Henry thought it was unexpected, yet he understood Derek well. He had better ask him nothing and do as he said.
Derek did not return to the bedroom that night. Instead he slept in the small bedroom beside it. Perhaps it was because he knew Serena was scared of him.
Derek was hard to fall asleep.
To his surprise, he had formed a habit in several days. Without that little girl in his arms, he couldn’t sleep!
During those days in S City, he thought that it was because he was in the hotel that he couldn’t fall asleep. However, he was in his own home now. He realized that it was because Serena wasn’t here.
Without Derek, Serena did not sleep tight this night. She felt uncomfortable.
Sammy’s ruthlessness and Derek’s madness were interwoven in her mind and she had nightmares as long as she closed her eyes.
She didn’t sleep well all the night.
The next morning, as soon as Serena opened her eyes, she saw Derek’s face before her. She was startled.
“You’re awake?” Derek smiled.
This smile was so sweet that Serena thought she was dreaming and thus she blinked her eyes to confirm if it was true.
The Great Demon King smiled at her! It was a warm smile that didn’t contain any other emotions!
Was he crazy?
“W-when did you come in?”
“It’s been a while. Do you still want to sleep?” He said in a gentler tone than ever before. Technically, it should be super gentler!
Serena shook her head.
“Then get up.”
Serena nodded.
Just as she was about to lift the quilt, Derek did not move so she pulled her hand back.
“What are you doing here?” Serena thought he was acting strangely.
Derek picked up the ointment from the bedside table and said, “I’ll apply this to you.”
