Derrick never cared about who he ended up with as a life partner until he met Lily. Lying on his bed, with his hand behind his head and staring at the ceiling of his room, he found himself thinking about not disappointing his father and also not disappointing himself. He needs to give himself a chance to know what it means to care for someone.Until he met Lily, he didn't know one could be undeniably attracted to anyone. Even though he couldn't define what he feels for Lily he could not deny the sense of belonging he felt both times he met her. He smiled reminiscing about the two instances Lily landed in his arms.

It's been four days since Lily was admitted to the hospital. Derrick bought an apartment in the city and moved with Lily to the place to recuperate. Derrick hired a servant to take care of the cooking and to attend to Lily. He left early hours in the morning for the office to handle some urgent matters. Lily was in her room. The servant served breakfast and got Lily to eat something. After breakfast, Lily went back to her room. She sat on the bed and closing her eyes she remembered the words of the lady who was with Ivy'Derrick is married. You don't seem like the one to go after married men.

I will let you go but I will punish you for forcing yourself on him'Among everything Ivy's friend Michelle said to Lily this was the most painful."Derrick is married.
