Chapter 298
"What''s wrong? Your wound hurts?"
The man''s voice was very pleasant, but it made her headache even worse. She patted Derek''s hand
off and dripped with cold sweat. "I''m fine..."
Derek looked thoughtfully at his hand that was waved away by her.
This seemed to be the first time he had been pushed away by a woman.
After a while, the pain eased, and Nora gasped for breath. Seeing that Derek''s hands had been beaten
red by herself, she quickly apologized, "I''m sorry, I just felt a little ufortable, but I''m fine now. And,
the remuneration, I don''t need it. I don''t want anything, that''s all."
Nora suddenly wanted this man to leave.
Her instinct told her that this man was dangerous and not someone she should mess up with.
Derek looked at her stubborn expression, which clearly had no resemnce with Meredith, but he still
felt something familiar from her. "You... Have you ever been to J City? Have we met before?"
Nora was stunned for a moment, but soon she shook her head in denial. Although she had an
inexplicable sense of familiarity, she had no specific memory.
"Sorry," Derek took two steps back.
Today, he was really a little abnormal. He was always cold to women, but surprisingly he didn''t hate the
woman in front of him.

Just as the two of them were lost in their own thoughts, Easton ran back with two ice packs in his
hands, who was somewhat ostentatious.
"I''m back. Look, what I have got?"
However, when he saw Derek Easton became obedient immediately, like a mouse seeing a cat, and he
put ice bags on the table right away.
Nora chuckled.
Easton blushed when he saw Noraughing at him. What a shame!
"What are youughing at? Is your face not hurting anymore? Hurry up to put the ice pack on it, or you
will be ugly."
Easton said awkwardly, hiding his embarrassment.
"Easton, manners."
Derek frowned. He didn''t want to see Easton being rebellious. Easton grew up being spoiled, and even
Derek couldn''t bear to be too strict with this brat.
He didn''t know if it was because of this, but sometimes Easton really didn''t talk like a five-year-old
child.
"I... I was wrong. I didn''t mean it."
"It''s okay. I know that."
Seeing that Easton was upset, Nora quickly helped him out.
Easton heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Nora. "By the way, I don''t even know your name."
"My name is Nora."
When she said that name, she herself felt a little dazed. She couldn''t remember anything at that time,
and she didn''t have any identifiable information. Even the name she was using now was given to her
by Sheldon.
At that time, he said that the name meant that nothing needed to be worry from now on, so it was a
name that great hopes were ced on it.
"Nora...Beautiful!" Easton usually had arge vocabry. Her name was beautiful and he loved it the
moment he heard it.
Derek nced at him.
He had no idea that his troublemaker son wanted to be close to others.
"Miss Gray, please think about my suggestions carefully. Give me the answer when you''re ready. No
hurries." Derek took out a business card.
"This is my number. If you have made your mind, call me directly. You are not feeling well, so excuse
me."
Easton watched Derek and thought, "dad rarely gave his number to others."
Did he like Nora too?
A sense of crisis came to mind.
Easton took out his phone and said, "Nora, let''s be friends on this chat app. We can have a chat when
we''re free!"
Nora had thought that they would nevere into contact again after this separation, but looking at
Easton''s expectant eyes, she couldn''t bear to refuse.
"But..."
"You don''t want to?"
Easton''s cheeks puffed up, and the tender and bun-like face looked extremely cute.
He hadn''t been rejected yet.
Nora nced at Derek, worried that he might think she was scheming.
Also, what if the child''s mother knew it and made a misunderstanding?
"Whatever you want, I have no problem with that." Derek went out without expressing his agreement or
objection.
"He didn''t refuse, hurry up, let''s be friends, and we can chat in the future." Easton understood Derek''s
thoughts quite well. With his dad''s strong desire of controlling, if he didn''t stop his action, it meant that
he agreed.
"Okay." Nora also took out her phone and handed it to Easton.
Easton fiddled with his phone, which was not exactly fittable to the size of his palm, and flipped his
fingers nimbly. It wasn''t long before it was ready. "Okay, take a look."
Nora took it and found that she had a friend named "I''m The Best" on her WhatsApp. The conversation
between the two of them had been pushed to the top, and she had two more bright little ''hearts'' in her
notes to this person. "Is this you?"
"Me The Best", he really dared to name himself.
Easton nodded heavily. "That''s right. Don''t be careless and delete me."
"No." Nora shook her head and did not change the note on the WhatsApp. Instead, she thought it was
fun.
"Then I''ll go back with dad first. I''lle and see you when I have the chance!" Easton nodded with
satisfaction, jumped off the bed, and left with a brisk pace.
Silence returned to the room, and Nora moved her body and slowlyy back. Her mood, which had just
been lightened by Easton''s agitation, slowly sank and down.
In her mind, the picture of today''s daylight emerged. It was a line of words that she couldn''t forget, as
well as Hailey''s heart-breaking words.
What was her past like? Could she be a bad person, a wicked woman, or else, why hadn''t her family
Also, what would Sheldon think of her if he knew that she had given birth to a child? After all, no matter
how good a person he was, he wouldn''t mind such a thing at all, would he?
