Derek used his hand to straighten her eyebrows, he leaned down and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
After that, he went to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe her face and hands. Finally, he opened the closet took out a new cotton blanket, and curled up on the small sofa all night.
He slept so soundly all night that he didn't know anything.
Derek was awakened by the sound of the door unlocking.
Bertha still hadn't woken up, he quietly walked out the door.
Outside the door is Harold, he smiles mysteriously. 'Master, did you chat with Miss Bertha last night? Is it compatible? You two have..."
Shane's expression was cold, he ignored the topic. "Wait for Miss. Bertha to wake up. You invite her to have breakfast with Grandpa and then take her home. If she doesn't want to, you can't force her."
"Yes, sir."
Derek went to the next room to take a shower first, then he left Mr. Miller.
As soon as he reached the door of the villa, he heard a voice coming from the corner of the hallway.
He listened carefully, it seemed to be Liam.
The other person seems to be Tyrone.
'Tyrone, why are you here early? Miss. Bertha hasn't woken up yet, you'll probably have to wait a little longer."
'I can wait, but she didn't drink last night, right? She drank a lot at the party, she must have been drunk again, she thought she could drink as much alcohol as before."
Tyrone let out a sigh.
Liam felt strange. "Miss. Bertha, what's wrong?"
Tyrone hesitated. "It's all in the past, she won't let me tell. If she finds out, I'll deduct my salary."
"Please tell me what happened to her. I don't see her often, she won't know. Besides, it's just the two of us here, I won't tell anyone. "
Derek was a wall away from the other two, he was about to leave when he heard something related to Bertha so he stopped.
Tyrone said. 'Do you remember Derek's death half a year ago? Since the day she buried Derek, she locked herself in Derek's room for three days without eating or drinking anything. She cried until her tears ran out, and drank all the strong wine in the liquor cabinet while she still hadn't eaten anything. Her body couldn't bear it, her stomach was almost punctured. Since then, her physical health has worsened."
Liam was shocked.
"Miss. Bertha, she…"
'Sigh, she's just stubborn, she cares about Derek a lot. Because she couldn't accept the truth about Derek's death, she was depressed for a long time. Forget it, it's over, don't mention it again."
Liam was skeptical. 'But why does this happen? I heard that Miss. Bertha likes Mr. Noah?"
"Mr. Noa?" Tyrone couldn't understand. "Who did you hear say that? Except for Derek, she never glanced at other men."
'…"
Derek couldn't hear what the other two were saying anymore.
His entire head and brain were buzzing.
Tyrone says Bertha cares about him a lot.
Because of his death, Bertha cried her eyes out.
She even drank alcohol until her stomach perforated...
It turns out that the person he loved deeply also loved him then and now.
That day she said she had someone else, it wasn't Noa, could it be him?
Derek's whole body trembled, that feeling could no longer be described in words.
There has never been a moment when he was as happy and surprised as he was now.
He never dared to think before that Bertha also loved him...
The corners of his eyes were red, he turned around and ran into the villa to find Bertha.
He couldn't wait to tell her that he was still alive.
A figure appeared in front of him, it was Liam, who had just finished talking to Tyrone.
'Boss, where are you going?"
Derek pushed him away. "I'm going to confess to Bertha."
'Boss, have you thought carefully? Last night was the first official meeting in half a year between the two of you and was also the best chance for you to confess, but you missed it. You even put on a show in front of her. This must be the time when her mood is at its lowest. If you confess now, do you think she will forgive you?"
She won't.
If he confessed now, it would be like him sticking his head in the muzzle of a gun, which would only be counterproductive.
Perhaps in anger, Bertha will draw a clear line with him, for the rest of her life, she doesn't want to see him again.
But knowing that Bertha also loves him, he doesn't want to wait another minute.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to analyze and consider this matter rationally.
Liam also helped him think of a way. "If not, you should pretend to lose your memory, arousing her pity for you. Later you find a chance to tell her that you have recovered your memory, maybe she won't be angry anymore."
This method is not bad either.
Derek was silent for a moment, but eventually, he shook his head solemnly. "Forget it, Bertha is too smart, if I pretend to lose my memory but reveal a loophole and if she finds out, things will become even more complicated, at that point she won't want to look at me anymore."
He paused for a moment then continued. "I still have to find a chance to explain to her as soon as possible, while she is not yet consumed by anger."
After pondering for a long time, he advised Liam. "Tomorrow night you invite Bertha to my villa, say I invite her to dinner."
Liam wasn't sure. "Miss. Bertha will come?"
"She will come."
Derek's dark eyes were filled with determination. "Bertha is always suspicious. What happened last night cannot erase her suspicions. Perhaps in the next few days, she will quietly investigate. Furthermore, she will find an opportunity to ask me. I must confess before she finds real evidence."
Liam nodded frantically, he felt that these words made a lot of sense.
