The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 154

Chloe?

The name was a complete surprise to Derek.

In his opinion, Chloe had always been elegant and polite. To her, maintaining etiquette was like an instinct. He could hardly imagine the scene she fought with Meredith.

When Meredith finished speaking, she saw Derek's pensive look. The man did not say anything immediately. Instead, he kept thinking.

Perhaps, he didn't believe her as much as she thought. After all, Chloe was his childhood sweetheart he had been with for more than ten years, and his former lover.

Meredith felt as if she had been poured cold water on her from head to toe. For a moment, she thought Derek would help her out.

Unexpectedly, she overestimated her importance in his heart.

Derek was silent for a moment. It seemed that he really needed to find Chloe again to stop her from doing such meaningless things.

Thinking about it, Derek looked up again. "I'll help you apply the medicine."

When Meredith heard him say this, she only felt that Derek was changing the subject. She felt uncomfortable somehow, so she pushed the man's chest. "No, I'll do it myself."

Sure enough, Derek still believed in Chloe rather than her. Well, how could a woman who looked like a princess fuss about her who was so lowly?

Derek and she were never in the same world. Chloe was the woman who was qualified to stand beside him.

"Stop fooling around. I'll help you apply the medicine." Derek looked at Meredith's awkward appearance and forcefully snatched the ointment from her hand.

Just as he was about to take off Meredith's clothes and apply some medicine, she suddenly glared at him. "It's not good to do like this. I also need privacy. Besides, if she finds out about it, she might come here again and make a scene."

As soon as Meredith finished speaking, the man chuckled. "Are you jealous?"

He understood why Meredith felt wronged just now. This woman had a lot on her mind.

"Huh, you think too much. I just... Don't want to cause trouble for myself."

After Meredith said it, it was too late to regret it. She was indeed uncomfortable, but she did not want to show it in front of Derek.

She didn't want him to think that she was sentimental.

"I'll take care of this. After a while, she should be going abroad and won't bother you again."

After Meredith heard Derek's words, she didn't become happier but a little more resentful.

It turned out that it was only after Chloe left that she could live in peace. She was really special to Derek, right?

"It has nothing to do with me. I just hope that she, the lady from a rich family, will not haggle with a lowly woman like me. It will degrade her."

The smile in Derek's eyes turned cold when he heard Meredith's words which seemed to be a little self-deprecating. Suddenly, he turned her face, which had been avoiding, towards himself.

"You really think so?"

"Of course."

Meredith said angrily.

"In the future, don't use such words to describe yourself."

Derek pursed his lips and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

For some reason, his heart ached when he heard Meredith say that.

Derek did not continue to tease her. He gently opened the two buttons of her clothes, squeezed some cool ointment on his finger, and carefully applied it.

"Does it hurt?"

Derek had already acted very gently, but he was still afraid of hurting Meredith.

"It's okay." Meredith didn't feel any pain. The place that the man touched seemed to have been swept by a feather, making her itchy, and the feeling was even spread to her heart.

Only then did Derek move at ease. Soon, he applied the medicine on her chest and looked at his work with satisfaction.

Meredith hurriedly pulled up her clothes. She was only wearing a bra underneath. It was strange for a man to look at her like that.

"Did you apply the medicine on your leg?"

Derek remembered that Meredith had other wounds besides this one. Those were the scratches she left to keep herself awake. They looked even more shocking than this wound.

Meredith herself had forgotten, "No need, the wounds on the leg should have healed."

She didn't care much about the wounds and wanted to get out from Derek's arms, but the man grabbed her shoulder unhappily. "Are you still a woman? You're hurt, but you don't care?"

"I'm used to it," Meredith said lightly.

She was really used to it. In prison, those people wanted to torture her to death. These were only scratches that didn't even bleed, which were nothing serious.

Meredith unconsciously touched the back of her head, which was covered by her long, thick hair. There was a long wound, which was left after she accidentally spilled hot water on a ferocious woman and was pressed against the wall by her.

Derek looked at her subconscious movements and felt that her eyes suddenly darkened, which made his heart suddenly ached.
