Meredith immediately shook her head. In fact, the place where she had just been scalded was a little red, but the soup spilled on her chest. How could she tell Derek that it hurt in such an awkward position? It was too embarrassing!

Derek narrowed his eyes. "Let me see."

Meredith was startled. "No, it's really okay!"

"Enjoy your meal. I... I'll go first. I'll just go back and deal with it myself.”

Meredith was so scared that she wanted to leave. This was a hospital, a public building!

Derek's face turned darker. It needed to be dealt with, so it was burning badly, right? Was this woman still so stubborn at this time, or was she unwilling to believe in himself?

Meredith got up and was about to leave. The man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her disheveled appearance. He felt extremely uncomfortable, so ignoring Meredith's refusal, he directly grabbed Meredith's arm and gently pulled her down on the bed.

"Derek, what are you doing? Let me go."

The sudden dizzy gave Meredith an ominous feeling. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But the man did not answer. His body exuded a cold aura. The originally tall body shrouded her, leaving Meredith nowhere to escape. Her originally petite body in this intimate position showed a bit of stirring ambiguity.

"You..." Meredith blushed and even felt the blood rush to her brain, making her body a little hot and dry.

But though she wanted to run, there was no chance.

Derek had to do something. He was so overbearing that she couldn't fight back.

Meredith could only relax temporarily. Since it was useless to resist, it was better to see what he was going to do.

Derek's fingers rested on the wet clothes, and the cold touch of his tentacles made his eyes colder. This woman was planning to leave with water all over her body?

Although the weather had warmed up, it was likely that she would catch a cold after such a torment. His slender and beautiful fingers gradually stopped on the buttons on Meredith's chest. She was wearing a shirt today. When it got wet, he could vaguely see the pure white conservative underwear inside.

"Get your hands off me!"

Meredith panicked and reached out to push the man above her away. Derek was so close that every time she breathed in the air, it was the man's unique scent.

She didn't want to be seduced by the smell, but her brain didn't listen to her. She was so dizzy that she seemed to have surrendered.

"Be good, let me see.”

Derek clasped Meredith's hand directly, then deftly unbuttoned a few of the buttons on it with his big palm. Soon, a piece of burnt, slightly reddened skin was exposed in front of him.

Derek still had a sense of propriety. He just unbuttoned a few buttons on the top. It wasn't too much, but even so, it was enough to embarrass Meredith.

This man... How could he do such a thing without changing his face?

However, Derek had a lot of strength, and they were still in a "man up woman deneath” shameful position as men and women. Meredith had no room to struggle and could only let him do whatever he wanted.

"Does it hurt?" Derek frowned and gently touched with his finger. As expected, Meredith's delicate eyebrows were tightened and her breathing became less natural.

Sure enough, it wasn't as easy as she showed.

"It's not that serious. I'm not the kind of woman who cries when got a wound. I used to... I used to have this kind of injury. It's really not that serious. I'll just go back and apply for some medicine.” Meredith subconsciously thought of those days in prison.

Once, she was called out to work by the prison guards, and the weather was very cold. It took her a long time to finish all the dirty work that others didn't want to do. When she returned, she finally got a cup of hot water, but she was deliberately splashed all over by a woman who didn't like her. At that time, it was much more painful than this, and no one was as careful as now to examine her wound.

Thinking about it, Meredith felt a little sore.

Derek looked at her suddenly gloomy expression and instantly understood what she had just abruptly stopped talking about.

It should be the torture she suffered in prison.

"It's all over. Now, you have to cherish yourself, okay?"

Derek let go of his hand, his tone light, but his mood was not so calm.

Meredith originally wanted to say goodbye, but when she saw the concern in the man's eyes, she could not say anything.

In fact, it was always better to be cared for than to be ignored. She had few friends and had not felt this kind of concern for a long time.

"I'll get someone to deliver the medicine. Moreover, take off your clothes"

Seeing that Meredith had no intention of leaving, Derek looked at her clothes again, got up, and found clean and refreshing men's pajamas in the closet.

This was where he had been living, so there were no women's clothes. "Just put this on. I'll call Damian to send a clean set later."

Meredith understood what Derek meant. She was afraid that she would catch a cold. She thought about it. If she really got sick because of this, not only did she feel bad, but the baby in her belly would suffer too, so she didn't refuse and took the clothes.

However, she could not be so calm when she undressed and changed in front of Derek.

So, Meredith got up and wanted to go to the bathroom to deal with it alone. Derek saw it and said, "You stay here. I'll go out.”

As he spoke, he walked out of the ward. Meredith was touched. Derek had always been a man of his own accord. It was a lie to say that she was not touched because he was so attentive.

Thinking about it, Meredith did not hesitate to take off her clothes and put on the man's pajamas. Derek stood at the door of the ward for a while. There was no smoking allowed, but he suddenly felt the urge to light a cigarette.

Meredith... What did she suffer in prison?

In the past, Derek was filled with hatred and disdain for her, feeling that she deserved whatever she had suffered there and never cared about it, but now...

He couldn't pretend to know nothing about Meredith's messy past. He wanted to know.

He called Damian.

"Send me a set of clothes that Meredith can wear later. Also, help me check the information about her days in prison.”

After that, Derek found another nurse who was passing by and asked her to send over a scald cream. "Remember send the kind that pregnant women can use.”

Derek was stunned when he said this. He had thought that he would always be disgusted with the unknown child in Meredith's belly, but unknowingly, he did not seem as repulsive as he thought. This was not like him at all.
