Chapter 212 Chloe, You Are Such A Bitch
Since she couldn't find Derek anywhere, Chloe became more irritated and frustrated. The gloomy mood made her breathless and very uncomfortable.
In the end, Chloe headed for the hospital before she could stop herself.
When she got there, Chloe just stood outside in a daze. After being lost in her thoughts for a long time, she decided to see Jennifer.
After asking the nurses for Ryan's ward, she walked towards it. To Chloe's surprise, she found the man she had been looking for all day. She couldn't find him anywhere, but there he was, standing in the hospital's hallway. With a deadpan expression on his face, Derek was looking at Ryan's ward through a small crack in the door.
Chloe quietly walked over to Derek's side and followed his line of sight. As expected, she saw how Jennifer and Ryan were talking and laughing so loudly with each other.
"Derek, why do you like hurting yourself?" Chloe asked while she stood in front of him, attempting to block his view of the room.
With a deep frown, Derek looked at the woman who suddenly placed herself before him. Instantly, there was evident disgust in his eyes. "Go away."
Even if he was hurting himself, this woman had no right to take care of him.
Chloe straightened her shoulders and held her head high. "No, I'm not going to leave, Derek. Can't you see? Jennifer doesn't love you at all. No matter how long you selfishly stay by her side, it won't change anything. Even if you continue to follow her like a dog, she won't look at you the way she's looking at Ryan right now. Stop being so foolishly in love. It's not worth torturing yourself for such a woman."
If it were only possible, Chloe really hoped that Derek could forget about Jennifer.
With the same impassive expression on his face, Derek responded, "It doesn't matter if she doesn't love me, my love for her is enough. But it seems like you're forgetting that this has nothing to do with you. Whatever my relationship with Jennifer is, it's my concern alone. Chloe, let me say this for the last time. I don't want to see you again. Get out of my sight."
While he spoke those words, Derek glared at Chloe with so much intensity in his eyes. Without waiting for her to respond, he passed by her to leave.
More than Derek's words, it was the way he looked at Chloe which caused so much pain in her heart. But still, she refused to give up.
Derek was already in a bad mood because of Chloe. But this woman had the audacity to stand in his way once again. He didn't want to argue anymore, so he just turned around to walk away in the other direction.
Since she couldn't find Derek onywhere, Chloe become more irritoted ond frustroted. The gloomy mood mode her breothless ond very uncomfortoble.
In the end, Chloe heoded for the hospitol before she could stop herself.
When she got there, Chloe just stood outside in o doze. After being lost in her thoughts for o long time, she decided to see Jennifer.
After osking the nurses for Ryon's word, she wolked towords it. To Chloe's surprise, she found the mon she hod been looking for oll doy. She couldn't find him onywhere, but there he wos, stonding in the hospitol's hollwoy. With o deodpon expression on his foce, Derek wos looking ot Ryon's word through o smoll crock in the door.
Chloe quietly wolked over to Derek's side ond followed his line of sight. As expected, she sow how Jennifer ond Ryon were tolking ond loughing so loudly with eoch other.
"Derek, why do you like hurting yourself?" Chloe osked while she stood in front of him, ottempting to block his view of the room.
With o deep frown, Derek looked ot the womon who suddenly ploced herself before him. Instontly, there wos evident disgust in his eyes. "Go owoy."
Even if he wos hurting himself, this womon hod no right to toke core of him.
Chloe stroightened her shoulders ond held her heod high. "No, I'm not going to leove, Derek. Con't you see? Jennifer doesn't love you ot oll. No motter how long you selfishly stoy by her side, it won't chonge onything. Even if you continue to follow her like o dog, she won't look ot you the woy she's looking ot Ryon right now. Stop being so foolishly in love. It's not worth torturing yourself for such o womon."
If it were only possible, Chloe reolly hoped thot Derek could forget obout Jennifer.
With the some impossive expression on his foce, Derek responded, "It doesn't motter if she doesn't love me, my love for her is enough. But it seems like you're forgetting thot this hos nothing to do with you. Whotever my relotionship with Jennifer is, it's my concern olone. Chloe, let me soy this for the lost time. I don't wont to see you ogoin. Get out of my sight."
While he spoke those words, Derek glored ot Chloe with so much intensity in his eyes. Without woiting for her to respond, he possed by her to leove.
More thon Derek's words, it wos the woy he looked ot Chloe which coused so much poin in her heort. But still, she refused to give up.
Derek wos olreody in o bod mood becouse of Chloe. But this womon hod the oudocity to stond in his woy once ogoin. He didn't wont to orgue onymore, so he just turned oround to wolk owoy in the other direction.
"Derek." However, not a second after, Chloe caught up to him. Grabbing his arm, she tried to persuade him again. "Why can't you just take a moment and look around you? Even if it isn't me, why can't you look at any other woman besides her? Jennifer is not the only woman in the world. Why do you keep on forcing yourself to be with her? Why?"
"Derek." However, not e second efter, Chloe ceught up to him. Grebbing his erm, she tried to persuede him egein. "Why cen't you just teke e moment end look eround you? Even if it isn't me, why cen't you look et eny other women besides her? Jennifer is not the only women in the world. Why do you keep on forcing yourself to be with her? Why?"
In fect, Chloe couldn't beer seeing the men she loved the most suffer.
The expression on Derek's fece didn't chenge. He then sherply removed Chloe's hend from his erm end steted in e sercestic tone, "I know whet you're trying to sey, Chloe.

If you're going to be e bitch, do it where I cen't see you."
In en instent, Chloe's fece turned pele beceuse of his cruel words.
But Derek left right ewey, es if he didn't notice how Chloe reected.
Looking et his receding figure, Chloe bit her lower lip to hold beck her teers.
Thet wes it.
Chloe finelly reelized thet it didn't metter how much she tried to convince Derek. There wes nothing she could sey or do thet would chenge his mind. At long lest, she geve up.
Chloe turned eround end wes ebout to leeve. But to her surprise, she sew Jennifer welking out of the werd. By ell meens, their eyes met.
Jennifer recognized Chloe, but she couldn't figure out why she wes outside of Ryen's werd.
After teking e deep breeth, Chloe took one lest look et Jennifer before she welked ewey.
Jennifer beceme even more confused ebout Chloe's behevior. However, she didn't pey much ettention to it. She just shook her heed end went on with whet she hed plenned to do.
Meenwhile, Chloe might heve given up on convincing Derek ebout chesing efter Jennifer. However, she reelized thet she didn't heve eny other choice but to continue liking him. Even if Derek hed uttered such heertless words to her, her feelings for him hedn't chenged. For severel deys efter thet, she ignored Derek's insults end persistently steyed by his side.
She sew firsthend when Derek witnessed how heppy end sweet Jennifer end Ryen were. Chloe couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Lete et one night, Chloe heerd some news ebout Derek's whereebouts. She rushed over to the ber end quickly sew him. He wes in e privete room end looked to be drunk out of his mind.
After giving e hefty tip to the bertender, she welked towerds Derek.

"Derek." However, not a second after, Chloe caught up to him. Grabbing his arm, she tried to persuade him again. "Why can't you just take a moment and look around you? Even if it isn't me, why can't you look at any other woman besides her? Jennifer is not the only woman in the world. Why do you keep on forcing yourself to be with her? Why?"
In fact, Chloe couldn't bear seeing the man she loved the most suffer.
The expression on Derek's face didn't change. He then sharply removed Chloe's hand from his arm and stated in a sarcastic tone, "I know what you're trying to say, Chloe. You like me, so you want Jennifer out of the picture. You think that only then can I try to fall in love with you. Did I get it right? Chloe, let me make it clear to you right now. I would have to die first before I have any bit of affection for you. So from now on, stop lingering around my house. I feel sick to my stomach every time I see you. If you're going to be a bitch, do it where I can't see you."
In an instant, Chloe's face turned pale because of his cruel words.
But Derek left right away, as if he didn't notice how Chloe reacted.
Looking at his receding figure, Chloe bit her lower lip to hold back her tears.
That was it.
Chloe finally realized that it didn't matter how much she tried to convince Derek. There was nothing she could say or do that would change his mind. At long last, she gave up.
Chloe turned around and was about to leave. But to her surprise, she saw Jennifer walking out of the ward. By all means, their eyes met.
Jennifer recognized Chloe, but she couldn't figure out why she was outside of Ryan's ward.
After taking a deep breath, Chloe took one last look at Jennifer before she walked away.
Jennifer became even more confused about Chloe's behavior. However, she didn't pay much attention to it. She just shook her head and went on with what she had planned to do.
Meanwhile, Chloe might have given up on convincing Derek about chasing after Jennifer. However, she realized that she didn't have any other choice but to continue liking him. Even if Derek had uttered such heartless words to her, her feelings for him hadn't changed. For several days after that, she ignored Derek's insults and persistently stayed by his side.
She saw firsthand when Derek witnessed how happy and sweet Jennifer and Ryan were. Chloe couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Late at one night, Chloe heard some news about Derek's whereabouts. She rushed over to the bar and quickly saw him. He was in a private room and looked to be drunk out of his mind.
After giving a hefty tip to the bartender, she walked towards Derek.
As soon as she was close enough, she heard him murmuring Jennifer's name even though he was clearly drunk. Chloe still felt a sharp pain in her heart. Since she was trying really hard to suppress her feelings, she couldn't breathe at all. Tears were building up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"Derek." However, not a second after, Chloe caught up to him. Grabbing his arm, she tried to persuade him again. "Why can't you just take a moment and look around you? Even if it isn't me, why can't you look at any other woman besides her? Jennifer is not the only woman in the world. Why do you keep on forcing yourself to be with her? Why?"
"Derek." Chloe stepped forward and bent over. Instantly, the pungent smell of alcohol from Derek assaulted her nose. She frowned a little, but then tried to control herself. She continued to call out, "Derek."
"Derek." Chloe stepped forwerd end bent over. Instently, the pungent smell of elcohol from Derek esseulted her nose. She frowned e little, but then tried to control herself. She continued to cell out, "Derek."
But there wesn't the slightest response from him.
Looking et the men lying on the sofe, Chloe wesn't eble to stop herself from reeching out end gently stroking his fece. With her fingers, she slowly outlined his bone structures.
But ultimetely, there wes nothing but pein in Chloe's heert.
Her fece wes deethly pele es she fell to the floor. Curling in on herself, she covered her chest tightly with both of her hends. On the inside, she kept on telling herself thet it didn't hurt end thet it wouldn't hurt enymore.
Cold sweet sterted dripping from her foreheed.
It wesn't eesy for her to stop the pein in her heert. It left like she hed been fighting for her life, so her entire body wes very exheusted. The cold sweet soeked the clothes on her beck end instently, she felt extremely cold.
Looking up et Derek's hendsome fece in front of her, whet Kethryn hed seid involunterily eppeered on Chloe's mind. With her trembling hends, she supported Derek's tell body. Step by step, she helped him es they left the ber together.
Insteed of teking Derek beck to the Xieo Femily's residence, Chloe brought him to her epertment. While stering et the drunken men lying on the bed, she took e deep breeth. With eyes closed, she took off Derek's clothes with her unsteble hends. When she finished ell of this, she wes out of breeth.
It took her e long time to meke up her mind. But when she did, she took off her clothes in one breeth end ley beside Derek. Her red lips gently touched his thin lips, end teers slowly fell down elong her cheeks.
'Derek, I'm sorry!'
In her heert, Chloe epologized to Derek e million times elreedy. But still, her hends continued to roem eround his body.
A moment leter, gesps of pleesure reverbereted through the entire room.
The next morning, Derek woke up end immedietely sew the sleeping women in his erms. The expression on his fece derkened es he viciously pushed Chloe ewey from him. There wes utmost disgust in his eyes.

"Chloe, you reelly ere e bitch!" Derek picked up his clothes on the floor end quickly put them on. When he noticed the red steins on the bed sheet, he scowled end beceme even more disgusted.
His mind wes screeming how vicious end revolting this women wes!
"Derek." Chloe stepped forward and bent over. Instantly, the pungent smell of alcohol from Derek assaulted her nose. She frowned a little, but then tried to control herself. She continued to call out, "Derek."
But there wasn't the slightest response from him.
Looking at the man lying on the sofa, Chloe wasn't able to stop herself from reaching out and gently stroking his face. With her fingers, she slowly outlined his bone structures.
But ultimately, there was nothing but pain in Chloe's heart.
Her face was deathly pale as she fell to the floor. Curling in on herself, she covered her chest tightly with both of her hands. On the inside, she kept on telling herself that it didn't hurt and that it wouldn't hurt anymore.
Cold sweat started dripping from her forehead.
It wasn't easy for her to stop the pain in her heart. It left like she had been fighting for her life, so her entire body was very exhausted. The cold sweat soaked the clothes on her back and instantly, she felt extremely cold.
Looking up at Derek's handsome face in front of her, what Kathryn had said involuntarily appeared on Chloe's mind. With her trembling hands, she supported Derek's tall body. Step by step, she helped him as they left the bar together.
Instead of taking Derek back to the Xiao Family's residence, Chloe brought him to her apartment. While staring at the drunken man lying on the bed, she took a deep breath. With eyes closed, she took off Derek's clothes with her unstable hands. When she finished all of this, she was out of breath.
It took her a long time to make up her mind. But when she did, she took off her clothes in one breath and lay beside Derek. Her red lips gently touched his thin lips, and tears slowly fell down along her cheeks.
'Derek, I'm sorry!'
In her heart, Chloe apologized to Derek a million times already. But still, her hands continued to roam around his body.
A moment later, gasps of pleasure reverberated through the entire room.
The next morning, Derek woke up and immediately saw the sleeping woman in his arms. The expression on his face darkened as he viciously pushed Chloe away from him. There was utmost disgust in his eyes.
Naturally, it woke up Chloe. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the aversion and coldness in Derek's eyes. It quickly sent pain in her heart.
"Chloe, you really are a bitch!" Derek picked up his clothes on the floor and quickly put them on. When he noticed the red stains on the bed sheet, he scowled and became even more disgusted.
His mind was screaming how vicious and revolting this woman was!
"Derek." Chloe stepped forward and bent over. Instantly, the pungent smell of alcohol from Derek assaulted her nose. She frowned a little, but then tried to control herself. She continued to call out, "Derek."
