Shawn agreed without asking any questions. “I’ll call Oscar directly.” He hung up the phone and called Oscar. Oscar was about to enter the expressway. He couldn’t help but curse again. Then he made a U–turn and went back to the hospital. When Oscar returned to the hospital, Cheryl had fainted in pain. As soon as Derek saw Oscar, he quickly stepped forward and whispered, “My sister is pregnant. But she refuses to tell me who the father is. Someone beat her up. I think she will lose the baby.”

Oscar’s eyes widened and he thought, ‘Cheryl is pregnant? She is not married! If the Larson family knows about this, she will be kicked out!”

Derek said, “Dr. Rogers, please keep it a secret.

“I don’t trust anyone except you.”

Oscar said, “Let’s not talk about this now. I’ll save the patient first.”

Oscar quickly prepared everything and went into the operating room.

Derek walked back and forth anxiously outside the room. The Larson family was already in decline but Cheryl still liked to cause trouble. After Barbara stopped suppressing the Larson family, she should have stopped making trouble.

She shouldn’t have provoked those people. She was not able to solve the problem on her own after all. Although Derek was a Larson, he needed other people’s help. with certain kinds of issues.

This time, for example, he needed Naomi’s help.

If Naomi helped him, it meant that he would owe Shawn a favor. Favors were the trickiest kinds of debts.

The lights in the operating room were on for a long time. Derek stared at his phone, feeling that time passed extremely slowly..

After a long time, the lights in the operating room finally went out. The door was opened. Oscar walked out.

He said, “She had a miscarriage. The baby is dead. She suffered a massive hemorrhage. She will probably never have another baby.”

Oscar was not frank. He used the word “probably” but Derek knew it was at certainty.

Oscar said, “Don’t tell her for now. I have already told everyone in the operating room to keep it a secret, No one dares to talk about it. As for the rest. I guess you will handle it by yourself.”

Derek said, “Thank you, Dr. Rogers.” He kept thanking Oscar. After a while, Cheryl was transferred to the intensive care unit.

Derek sat in front of the bed and stared at Cheryl’s pale face. Cheryl had been beautiful since childhood and liked dancing. She was on a strict diet for dancing. Her family didn’t care much about her. No one even noticed that she was ill several times. It was Derek who found that something was wrong with her and sent her to the hospital every time.

Later, Cheryl performed on the stage for the first time. She was forced to marry someone. She tried to resist for the first time but failed. Afterwards, Shawn picked her. Only then did her family change their attitude towards her.

The three years when Shawn was with Cheryl were probably the happiest and most unrestrained days in her life.

Then Cheryl left because Shawn had a car accident. Everything changed. Her life was even more miserable than before.

Derek said, “Cheryl, does it still hurt?” He felt his throat dry. He held Cheryl’s hand and said in a choked voice, “Why are you so stupid? Even if you’ve lost. Shawn, you shouldn’t have done this to yourself.”

Cheryl was still in a coma so she couldn’t hear him.

Suddenly, Derek heard a knock on the door. He turned around and saw Zoey.

Zoey walked in carrying a bouquet of flowers. “Naomi asked me to come to check up on her. If you need any help, just let me know.”

Zoey put the flowers in a vase and looked at Cheryl, who was unconscious.

She asked, “Is Ms. Larson doing okay?”

Derek shook his head and said, “Not so good.

“Please thank Dr. Edwards for me.”

Zoey nodded. “By all means.

“By the way, Naomi wants me to ask you if you have offended anyone recently or if Ms. Larson’s or the Larson family have offende

anyone.”

Derek frowned and thought about it for a while. He shook his head slowly and said, “I don’t think I have but I don’t know about Naomi or the others.”

Zoey said, “Then you’d better go home if you are free. Besides, I don’t think you should hide Ms. Larson’s miscarriage from your family.”

Derek forced a smile. “Let’s talk about it later! It must be a secret for now. Although the Larson family was not as powerful as it used to be, it had enjoyed. some great days depending on the Fischer family. Now, they didn’t want to be

laughed at.

Millie didn’t care about Cheryl at all but she was very kind to Derek.

As the eldest son of the Larson family, Derek had enjoyed many benefits. He had to act in the best interests of the Larson family.

Derek pinched the skin in the middle of his eyebrows and felt a little bit irritable. “Grandma and my parents don’t know it yet. Cheryl doesn’t want me to tell them.

“Cheryl has offended the wrong person. I don’t know anyone who can protect her except Mr. Fischer.”

Zoey said, “She will be fine.

“Naomi has promised to take care of this. So Mr. Fischer will take care of her too.”

Zoey was not sure. But Naomi asked her to come here to check up on Cheryl. Naomi even said it would be best if Zoey stayed there until Cheryl woke up.

Zoey said, “A miscarriage is not a trivial thing for a woman. If you need money, please let me know.”

Derek nodded and said, “Okay. Thank you.

“By the way, do you have a place for Ms. Larson to stay?” Zoey asked cautiously, “Naomi wants me to ask this.”

Derek hesitated for a while before slowly shaking his head. “No.

“But I’ll talk to Dr. Edwards myself.”

Cheryl’s miscarriage was not a trivial thing and she didn’t get along with Naomi. Derek wasn’t sure whether Naomi was generous enough to let Cheryl stay in her place.

But Cheryl was just an ordinary person. She couldn’t stay in the hospital for a month.

Derek had just asked the nurse that a woman who just had a miscarriage needed to rest for a month.

Naomi once helped Derek, so he didn’t get paid for the joint endorsement to promote the Fischer Group’s scar gel with Coco.

The money he had now was earned by selling paintings.

Derek felt a headache. “Let’s talk about it after my sister wakes up!”

Zoey said, “Okay.”

Derek said, “Aren’t you busy with the orphanage?”

Zoey shook her head. “Not at all. Because of Naomi’s help, the orphanage is now

managed by a special team. The children have access to much more resources. My

brother has also recovered. He goes to school now and will go back to the orphanage on weekends to help the kids.”

Derek said, “Sounds good.”

Zoey said, “Yes! Naomi helped me with all this. I am grateful to her and I will be loyal to her for the rest of my life.”

Mentioning Naomi, Zoey smiled brightly, Naomi gave me, my brother, and every kid in the orphanage a new life.”

Zoey said, “Without Naomi, we are probably not even alive.”

Derek remembered the first time he saw Naomi and couldn’t help but smile. She indeed was able to make people feel hopeful.

When Cheryl called him for help, she said to him, “Derek, I heard Naomi’s mentor is Mr. Wilson Walter, a master of traditional medicine. Please ask her to

save me.

Derek remembered the ointment that Naomi gave him was indeed made of traditional herbs. Coco once said that Naomi liked to use flowers and grasses: some were common; some were uncommon and even rare.

She had her special methods of planting them. But she didn’t have a suitable place to plant them.

Derek chatted with Zoey for a while and then took out his phone from time to time to check the time. After more than two hours, Cheryl slowly woke up.

As soon as she woke up, she shouted in pain, “Derek, it hurts. Am I going to die? Where is my baby?”

Derek walked to her and held her hand. “You had a miscarriage.

“Take good care of yourself and keep happy. You will have another baby.” Cheryl smiled creepily, “Derek, are you trying to coax me? I’m not in good health. The doctor told me that this might be my only chance of having a child. “And I had a non–spontaneous abortion. I know myself well. Don’t try to comfort

1. me.

“So what if I can’t have another baby? Anyway, I don’t want to be a mother.” Cheryl’s pale face was full of sarcasm. Her faint smile was especially creepy. “Brandy, don’t scare yourself. You are not in good health now. I won’t force you to do anything. When you want to tell me the truth, let me know.”

Looking at Cheryl, Derek knew he couldn’t persuade her.

Cheryl was weak, but she said loudly, “Derek, do you think I look scary? If it hadn’t been for Naomi. I wouldn’t have been set up.

“Naomi was always with Shawn. Emily couldn’t do anything to her. So I became her target.

“Derek, I never wanted this child.”

Derek said, “Emily?”

Derek’s face darkened. “Cheryl, be honest with me. Don’t lie to me.”

Cheryl’s smile became colder and colder. He said, “Look, deep inside, your believe me. You think I’m lying.

“Derek, are you so nervous because Emily or Naomi is involved in it?”

Cheryl laughed, “My life has been ruined. I was not between Shawn a Naomi anymore. Why wouldn’t they spare me?

“Because the Larson family didn’t care about me? Because I ran away from Shawn?”

Cheryl laughed for a while and then suddenly cried, “It’s me this time. Next time, it will be Naomi.

“Naomi is in Baok, right? Unless she stays with Shawn 24 hours a day, those people will kill her.

“Derek, I’m not lying. I am not!”

Watching Cheryl laughing and crying, Derek was instantly sad. He rang the bell for the doctors. Soon, the doctors came to give Cheryl an examination. Cheryl swore at them loudly.

She struggled and shouted that she would kill herself.

She roared, “Go to hell, you quacks! You think I don’t know that you work for Naomi?”

Oscar rolled his eyes at her and said, “It doesn’t matter who I work for. The most important thing is that if you don’t cooperate with us, I promise, you will soon

die.”
