Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, supported his consciousness, and maintained a correct kneeling position.
Heavy rain late at night.
Derek knelt in the garden for two hours, and Bertha stood by the window, watching him for two hours.
...
The guards take turns on the night shift.
Tonight it was Tommy's turn to keep watch, he was hiding in the shadows and was watching the man kneeling in the garden.
Obviously, because of the injection of special medicine, Derek's constitution was very weak. At first, he was still steady, then his body gradually swayed, but his waist remained straight.
Tommy admired him a bit.
Even when he is kneeling, he is still a noble person, he does not let people think of him as contemptuous.
For such a man, Tommy really couldn't bear to see his arrogance cut off.
He thought, then quietly entered the villa and knocked on Bertha's door.
"Come in."
Tommy walked in and stood behind Bertha.
Bertha didn't look back, her eyes kept staring at a man kneeling in the garden, her face expressionless. "What's up?"
Tommy swallowed. 'Miss, with Mr. Derek, maybe he can't take it anymore..."
Bertha scoffed. "So what? This time it wasn't me forcing him to kneel. He used the name of repaying debt to deceive me, so I will let him act."
'Mistress…"
"Go out."
Bertha closed the curtains and went straight to the bathroom to shower and get ready for bed.
Tommy sighed and walked out, he returned to his guard post.
...
This rain lasted all night, and it did not gradually stop until early morning.
Derek didn't know how long he had been kneeling, he only knew that his knees and calves were so numb that he lost feeling, and his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't feel the temperature.
Even though the rain had stopped, the wind blowing on his face still hurt like a knife.
When Tommy walked out and saw Derek still kneeling, he was a little surprised.
"Mr. Derek, that's enough, you get up."
Derek's pale lips curled involuntarily, he was over it, right? Can this be erased? His debt has been paid off, right?
He tried to support his body and stand up, but the prolonged effort suddenly relaxed, his head began to lose control drowsiness appeared, and his vision also gradually darkened.
"Mr. Derek? Mr. Derek!"
Tommy touched his forehead, and his forehead was very hot, even though he had fainted, his whole body was still shaking.
He had been in the rain all night, so he had a fever.
Tommy hurried Derek back to his room, then he went upstairs to ask Bertha's opinion.
Bertha had just woken up and was brushing her hair in front of the dressing table.
Knowing that Derek had knelt to the point of fainting, Bertha's hand stopped for a few seconds, but with no expression on her face, she continued to brush her hair. 'Please call a doctor to examine him."
"Yes."
After the doctor arrived, he prescribed fever-reducing medicine and injected Derek to reduce the fever.
An hour later, thinking Derek was about to wake up, Bertha went down to the second floor and into Derek's room.
She asked the bodyguard to bring a chair, and she sat on the side of Derek's bed, her face was expressionless and waiting, and her eyes were very dark, I didn't know what she was thinking.
Derek woke up, his vision was still blurry, but he tilted his head and saw a familiar figure next to his bed. Unconsciously, he grabbed her wrist.
'Bertha, have you… forgiven me?"
His fever had not completely subsided. When he took Bertha's hand, the temperature in his palm was as hot as fire.
Bertha frowned, she didn't push his hand away, but there was disgust in her eyes. 'I ask you one last time, where did you take that person?"
Hearing that, Derek's hand slowly loosened.
As if he was angry too, he turned his back to her, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep, he sulked, acting as if he didn't hear her at all.
Bertha's patience was completely exhausted.
'If you are so brave, why don't you dare say a word, then I don't need to continue wasting words on you. You take her away, I will make you pay. You have to take the blame for her."
She called out. 'Tommy, Tyrone, come in here."
The two of them entered the room immediately.
Bertha said cruelly. 'Take him to prison, tell them to take special care of him."
As soon as Tommy heard that, he immediately went forward to beg.
'Miss, no way. With the current physical condition of Mr. Derek, if we send him in there, he won't last more than three days, he'll die."
Sanh Ca coldly looked at her bodyguard. 'Then you go in there instead of him, I will also take special care of you."
'…"
Tommy's sympathy was suddenly extinguished, he had no choice but to join Tyrone in pulling Derek out of bed.
Derek is still feverish.
As he turned his back on Bertha, he vaguely heard her say take someone to jail?
When Tommy and Tyrone came forward, he struggled to get away from the two of them, determined not to leave the bed, he looked at Bertha with a puzzled expression. 'I just took Noa abroad, why do I have to go to jail?"
Bertha smiled.
'What does it have to do with Noa? Do you think that if you talk nonsense to me then this will end? Tommy, you take him away."
Derek was stunned for a second, then he quickly realized that maybe he had misunderstood her last night.
As soon as Tommy and Tyrone pulled him out of bed, he fell towards Bertha, next to her feet.
Bertha's leg unconsciously retracted.
Derek fell into space, raised his face, and spoke seriously. 'Even though I don't know what you're talking about, except for Noa, I didn't do anything."
