The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 205

Violet was also willing to go all out, leaving behind the so-called noble lady's reserve. She knew that she was acting like a shrew by making a scene, but she had no other way.

As long as Derek was able to break up with that woman, she would not care much about losing face.

Derek heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Violet's hand, which was still inserted with an intravenous needle. Now with this action, the blood had moved into the IV line.

Violet knew Derek's character, and he wouldn't ignore his mother's health, so she grabbed Derek's hand and said, "Derek, can you listen to me this time? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die with my eyes open."

"Don't say that." When Derek heard the word" die," his face darkened and his tone was serious.

He didn't want to compromise just like that, but Violet didn't want to give him any other choices. "You promise me then I'll have the surgery, otherwise, no deal."

"Mother, must you do this..."

Derek was extremely helpless. Just as the mother and son were in a stalemate, Chloe knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing the slightly strange atmosphere between them, she smiled awkwardly. "Is it a bad time?"

These days, Chloe seemed to be a different person, running to the hospital every day. And even, in order to please Violet, she found a chef to teach her how to make these nourishing soups, and personally cook for her.

"No, you came just at the right time."

Violet greeted Chloe with a smile and held her hand. Then she pointed at a blister on her finger in an exaggerated tone. "Oh, is this due to making soup for me? You really have gone through a lot of trouble for me. Your heart is much better than someone else's."

Derek naturally understood that it was meant for him. He looked at Chloe's injured hand and sighed. "Chloe, you don't have to do these things yourself. Your hands are better for playing the piano."

"It's rare that Derek still cares about others. In that case, Chloe, we were just talking about you two getting engaged as soon as possible. Do you have any suggestions?"

Chloe was stunned and ecstatic, but she couldn't show it. She lowered her head and said, "I... I don't have a problem with it. It's just whether Derek would think..."

Violet held Chloe's hand and looked at Derek with a warning in her eyes. As if to say, if you didn't agree, I would just give up the treatment and die in front of you.

Derek gritted his teeth and moved his lips. And in the end, he did not say otherwise.

Now that Violet's condition was unstable, he couldn't risk her life.

Seeing Derek give in, Violet smiled. "Chloe, of course, he agreed. In this case, we'll hold a meeting for the parents these days, set the date, and start the ceremony as soon as possible."

"There's no need for ceremonies, right?" When Derek heard this, he was quite overwhelmed.

He was only trying not to make Violet angry by acquiescing in her plan, but it would be difficult to deny it if the ceremony was held.

"I don't care about that either, auntie."

Chloe said understandably, but a little grievance flickered in her eyes, making Violet glare at Derek very unhappily.

Derek walked out of the room with a cold face, followed by Chloe. He walked very fast with big strides, regardless of whether Chloe in high heels could keep up or not. He walked just like that without even looking back.

Chloe struggled to catch up, and after a while of trying, she snapped. "Derek, what do you mean?"

They finally got engaged, but his attitude made her feel very cold.

Was he so unwilling to marry her?

Derek stopped just right at a quiet spot with no one passing by. He looked into Chloe's eyes. "Chloe, I've said it many times. We're done. Why are you still here..."

"Derek, am I that cheap in your heart? Indeed, I can't let you go, but I have dignity. I came here because my aunt has always been taking care of me since I was a child. She has been good to me. I am only doing this for my conscience."

Chloe said with a straight face, and Derek was speechless for a moment.

"But the engagement... I don't really agree. I'm doing it for my mother's health. I have to make it clear to you on that."

Chloe's face darkened when she heard this. How could she not have known that Derek's agreeing to get engaged was just an expedient plan for Violet? But if they had missed this opportunity, they would have really missed it. So, even if it was forced, she had to try.

So, Chloe forcefully erased the grudge in her heart. "I know, Derek. So, I promise you, this engagement doesn't mean anything. If you want to separate, I won't force you otherwise as a fiancée. I promise we are only doing this for the sake of my aunt's recovery."

Derek looked deeply at Chloe, and then a relieved smile appeared. "If that's the case, then I'm much relieved. Chloe, you help me finish this scene, and I will try my best to make it up to you in the future."
