Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 309

Chapter 309:

Aaron and some nurses pushed the gurney. I had injured my head. Although it hurt, it didn’t affect me in any other way. However, Derek and Aaron insisted on taking me to the ambulance. I had no choice but to obey their words and lie down on the stretcher.

I went home in the hospital ambulance. Aaron accompanied me and Derek drove his car.

“Why are you taking me home all of a sudden?” I asked him.

Aaron smiled at me, “Your health is in a stable state. It’s best to treat you at home. I will be your private physician. You can rest in your room; it’s more or less like being hospitalized.”

“But why does it seem like you guys had planned this beforehand?” I asked, arching an eyebrow.

Aaron smiled at me. “Of course, we had talked about it before. It was all for your sake.”

When we got home, I saw that the door was already open. Derek pulled me out of the ambulance, walked into the house and put me on the bed. He asked me to rest and promised to come by later.

Aaron dragged the hat stand next to the bed, preparing to put me on an IV drip tomorrow. After arranging everything, he told me to get a good night’s rest and left the room. Lying in my own bed was indeed more comfortable and relieving than resting in the hospital bed.

I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes. That night I had a dream. In my dream, I went back to the place where I was breaking Lean’s snowballs.

He was still slandering me, and his comments seemed to get worse with each passing minute. I beat him like a madwoman as tears ran down my cheeks, wanting to scream out loud. Sadness and pain seemed to crush my heart. However, something soft against my face woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw Derek’s enlarged face. My breath caught in my throat as I realized he was kissing away my tears.

Maybe the dream was too painful and I continued the sobs.

He cupped my cheeks to dry my tears. However, my gaze fell on the bandage on his hand.

“What’s wrong with your hand?”

“I accidentally hurt it,” he replied.

He lifted his head and looked at me scrutinizingly. A lump formed in my throat as I remembered the dream.

“Do you believe me?” my voice was hoarse. I gave him an expectant look.

“Yes, I believe you,” he said affirmatively.

“Why?”

Derek lowered his head and rubbed his nose against my face. His hot breath blowing against my face made my stomach flutter.

“I’m not going to believe Lean, especially when he’s in that state. I’m not stupid.”

Even if he said it, I still thought he must have some doubt about me and Alvaro.

“Where have you been today?” I asked him.

He lay down next to me and pulled the quilt over us.

“Well, I’ve been to several places, including the insurance company and the Traffic Management Office.” His magnetic voice boomed in my ear. “You drove without a driver’s license and ended up having an accident. You have to be arrested and pay a fine. I didn’t want my wife to face any legal trouble, so I took care of it.” I had gotten so upset that I didn’t think about the consequences.

Only now did I realize the weight of my actions. Fortunately, only I was hurt. If I hurt others, I would blame myself for the rest of my life.

“Why did you suddenly take me out of the hospital?” I asked, looking at her beautiful face.

She hugged me. He slid his hand under my dress and rubbed my skin.

“I will only feel at ease if you sleep next to me.” His fingers circled my belly.

I got goose bumps and pulled away. Suddenly he burst out laughing.

“Eveline, only today I realized that you are the most impulsive and reckless person. I had underestimated you before.”

My cheeks burned with embarrassment.

“Well, one’s impulse is one’s demon. People don’t think when they’re impulsive.”

Derek took a deep breath.

“Eveline, you should be responsible for yourself. You know what? I tried to catch you when you were rashly driving the car, and when I failed, I got scared; I’ve never been so scared.”

“You were afraid I was going to die?”

“Yes.”

“But everybody is going to die one day.”

“But I don’t want that to happen now. The later the day comes, the better, because I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” His words made my tummy churn. But I couldn’t help but wonder if he didn’t care what Lean said. Or was he hiding his emotions so I wouldn’t feel bad and lose my mind again?
