Having finished speaking, she opened the door and went out.
Casey was waiting outside the door when he saw her come out with a strange look on her face.
"Miss. Bertha?"
She regained consciousness and glanced at the medicine box in Tommy's hand. "You go into the room and apply the medicine to him."
"Yes."
Casey bowed slightly, and after seeing her leave the second floor, he entered Derek's room.
Derek was still in a dazed state.
Looking at Bertha's reaction just now, she seemed very surprised by Fawn's matter, it seemed like this matter had nothing to do with her.
He breathed a sigh of relief, the burden in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Hey, Mr. Derek?"
Casey's angry expression interrupted his dazed state. "Please take off your shirt and lie down on your stomach so I can apply the medicine."
Derek took the medicine box from him. 'No need, I can do it myself, you go out."
'Your back injury, how did you do it?"
Derek said nonchalantly. "I'm not in the habit of letting men touch me."
What strange habit is that?
However, Casey doesn't care about him. "Don't denounce me in front of Miss. Bertha."
When he left the room, Casey was still uneasy. He went up to the third floor and decided to report this to Bertha.
"If he likes to abuse himself, just leave him alone, you don't have to interfere, just do your job."
The door opened, Bertha was still standing by the window, her voice loud and clear.
Derek was downstairs, he heard clearly, his eyebrows were furrowed.
It seemed that the beating he endured that day did not receive a single look of pity from Bertha, and above all, he was sarcastically abused himself.
He applied painkillers on his back and then went to sleep.
The next morning, he woke up late.
Yesterday he was beaten and crawled along the pipe, his physical strength was exhausted to the limit.
When he wakes up, Bertha is no longer in the villa, for the first time, she doesn't give him a hard time.
This made Derek feel strange, then he started doing his housework as usual.
Ever since he learned that Bertha and Venn were most likely part of the same family, he had been pleased.
Opposite of the feelings a few days ago.
Waiting until we get the results of Liam's investigation, many questions about Bertha will probably be answered.
In the afternoon, he prepared the meal as usual and waited for Bertha to return.
Bertha had returned, but behind him were two men he hated very much.
Venn and Noa.
Derek froze in place, he silently looked at the two men behind Bertha.
Noa's expression at this moment was no different from Derek's, the hatred in the other person's eyes was almost impossible to hide.
Venn was similar, he looked at Derek with an unsympathetic expression.
The three men's eyes were like bullets.
Bertha smelled a strong smell of gunpowder, her expression was ashen.
Why are these men so childish?
If looks could kill, they would probably have killed each other hundreds of times.
She thought for a moment then looked at Derek and spoke. "You don't need to go to the kitchen to cook today. You can't be of any help here. Go out into the garden and sweep up the fallen leaves."
Going out to sweep fallen leaves?
Leave her alone to eat and talk to these two men?
Derek isn't worried about Venn, but what does Noa rely on to eat with her?
Derek's face darkened, he didn't move.
Bertha went to the liquor cabinet and got a bottle of premium red wine. She turned around and found Derek still standing in place, she urged. 'If you don't go, I'll have Emilio drag you out."
Derek's face darkened. When he closed the door, he seemed to have intentionally expressed his dissatisfaction. The sound of the door closing was very loud.
Venn pointed at him, then looked at Bertha again, accusingly. "Why is he more aggressive than the homeowner?"
Bertha pursed her lips and smiled. "You just leave him alone, I'll make him obedient, soon."
Hearing that, Venn did not react, but Noa's face was unhappy. "Bertha, his arrogant and complacent nature has seeped deep into his bones and blood. No matter how ferocious a wild beast is, when it is injured, it will also become weak. But once they seize the opportunity, they will immediately turn to bite you back. Look, this time he dares to hurt you, which means he has calculated. Be careful."
Venn nodded in agreement.
Bertha opened the refrigerator to look for ingredients to cook, smiled, and said. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
In the garden.
Derek swept the fallen leaves, but he felt uneasy in his heart.
He was very curious, wondering what Bertha would be like when living with another man.
He secretly went to the window, and through the glass, he saw a very harmonious picture on the dining table.
From the bottom of his heart, he was happy to see Bertha smiling.
He remembered the first year when Bertha married him, she also loved to laugh.
He can often see her sweet smile, along with the loving eyes that she gives him.
When did she start to hate smiling so much?
Her gaze towards him became more and more indifferent.
Since the divorce, she has become luxurious and elegant.
No matter what difficulties she encounters, she always remains confident and calm.
Is this her true nature?
Derek felt his chest tighten.
He didn't know what kind of feeling this was, but he just knew that it was uncomfortable.
He was thinking, when he suddenly saw Tommy quickly push open the door, go into the living room of the villa, then go to Bertha's place to talk to her about something.
Derek saw that it had nothing to do with him, so he stopped looking.
He swept the leaves back and saw Tommy coming out, he headed straight in Derek's direction.
