Chapter 1051 Derek Visited Brandon


    Derek entered the ward, parading the fruits and flowers in his hands. Meanwhile, Gilda decided to


    wait for him in the corridor just outside the ward.


    Derek discretely reminded J he had to discuss something important with Brandon alone. J


    did what she was asked and went out first.


    What could they be talking about?


    J almost pressed her face against the door in an attempt to see what was going on inside


    through a gap in the door.


    "Mrs. Larson, eavesdropping is impolite," Gilda suddenly said from behind J.


    J sprung to her full height, desperate to exin herself but unaware of how to as she blushed in


    embarrassment.

    Gilda let out a chuckle. "I won''t tell anyone."


    All the while, the situation inside was way different from what J imagined.


    "What''s up, bro? How''s your condition? Well, your ruddyplexion tells me you''re feeling much


    better now. Are you?"


    Derek was unfiltered. He ced the things he brought, and then settled on an empty seat.


    Brandon sorted out the pile of documents, taking time to talk to Derek. "If you''re only here to pay a


    visit, you can go now that you''ve seen me."


    A frown crumpled Derek''s face. Somehow, he felt belittled and that did not sit right with him. "I''m


    here to tell you that I will not bother J anymore. You can rest assured in the future."


    Brandon put down the documents and said, "You finally decided to retreat. That''s a good thing. Next


    time, if you''re going to chase after a girl, make sure she isn''t a married woman."


    Derek did not sense any anger in Brandon''s words. There wasn''t even a hint of emotion directed at


    him. His n totally failed.


    Frustrated, he leaned back on his spot,ining. "Hey, did you already I would stop chasing


    after J? You didn''t look surprised at all!"


    Brandon did know, in a way. J seemed to be in a good mood these past few days. She was


    always either at W Marks or the hospital, taking care of him. She never once mentioned Derek


    whenever she told him about her day.


    Brandon assumed Derek had been keeping his distance from J since the car ident. Perhaps


    he had given up on her from that day on.


    Brandon didn''t answer and Derek was left speechless. He smacked his lips. He had never known


    what to say to someone as arrogant and pretentious as Brandon. Derek''s elder brother was the


    same as Brandon. They were both so cold whenever they were talking to others.


    Derekzily stretched before turning to the fruit basket he brought and picking out one of the


    apples. He began eating it.


    The corner of Brandon''s mouth twitched. He regarded Derek with a cold re as he desperately


    wanted to kick the impolite man out of the room. "If you''re going to eat, go out. This is my ward."


    Derek took a few more bites at the apple before speaking. His words slurred. "No, I need to tell you


    something. It''s important."


    Quickly swallowing the apple, he added, "I''m here to thank you and J. If it weren''t for you, I


    wouldn''t have been sitting here. You risked your life to save me."


    "It''s good that you know it." Brandon''s fist was really itching to punch someone right now, but he did


    his best to hold back the urge. "Are you done? If you are, get out!"


    "What a rude person you are. Why does J even like you?"


    Derek puckered his lips in bewilderment. He had such a bright and sunny personality yet J


    wouldn''t even waste a second to look at him. Her taste in men was really bad.


    Brandon was just lifting the quilt to get up when Derek took another bite of the apple and sighed.


    "But of course, you must have some good qualities in you. Otherwise, J wouldn''t love you and


    only you."


    A glint of envy was in his eyes as she whispered, "s, I saw real love from you two. And I think


    that deserves to be respected."


    Derek threw his almost finished apple in the trash can, and then stood up and said, "It''s about time.


    I should go now. Have a good rest."


    He was already at the door when a thought urred to him. Looking back, he plucked a document


    from the bag of snacks. "I heard you haven''t found the perpetrator yet. So I guess you may be


    interested in this."


    Brandon opened the file that Derek gave him. It had information about Roger, the man he had also


    investigated before.


    "There''s no news about him now. Where did you get this information?" A cold re flickered in


    Brandon''s eyes. He wasn''t expecting Derek to investigate the matter as well.


    Derek decided to tell the truth. "I''m too busy with the endorsement and modeling all day long to


    investigate something like this. But my brother found out about the ident. He was so angry so he


    looked into it. He dug about everyone rted to Roger, but the information he had was only up to


    Roger''s disappearance. It was very strange. My brother checked the surveince footage across


    the whole city and only found thest ce he appeared. You can go there when you have time."


    Brandon turned to thest page of the document. Thest ce where Roger was seen was a


    deserted building in the suburbs. It was a ce developed by the Turner Group.
