Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 259

Derrick's father couldn't absorb the ongoing chaos any longer and fainted, causing everyone in the church to panic even more.

After Derrick had sent Yvette to the hospital, he received the news that the Luo Group's stock price was going down as the company's reputation was plummeting due to his scandal. The company had lost a great deal of money, and so the board of directors had approved the decision of relieving Derrick of his position as the CEO.

Yvette's surgery was over and her bed was taken out of the operation room. The doctor told Derrick with a grave look on his face, "The baby did not make it. Please see to it that she gets proper rest when she goes back home. You'll still be able to try and have a child again."

Yvette was then sent to her ward.

Before Derrick could say something to comfort Yvette, he received a call from the company staff, telling him that the company's condition was getting worse. Derrick was now in a complete shock.

What was happening to him? Why was everything around him falling apart?

Nothing in his life was going right. That included his career and his love life.

He had to step back and analyse the whole picture again. He had to figure out the reason why and how he had made his life such a mess.

Derrick suddenly thought of Arvin when he walked out of the hospital.

A series of questions came rushing into his mind. How did Yvette show up in the church? How did she know that he was getting married then?

The reporters also showed up soon after Yvette. It had to be more than just mere coincidence and good timing for them to have witnessed Yvette's accidental miscarriage.

Someone hiding behind the scenes must have paid Yvette and the reporters to put on this show.

He wondered why anyone would do such a thing. Did he do all of that just to stop him from marrying Nita?

After his analysis, Derrick was certain that only one man had the power to do all those things easily.

Initially, Derrick was furious as he had begun to understand the situation, but this time, he composed himself first and called Nita. On the phone he said, "Nita, my company's board demands that I resign from my position as the CEO. I might lose my income from now on, and moreover, I might be in debt... But I still want you to marry me. Would you like to work together with me to strive for our happiness in the future?"

As expected, the woman on the other side of the line fell silent. Derrick's heart sank deeper with each minute of her silence.

In the end, Nita told him, "Derrick, I am a wanted criminal now. Do you still want to marry me?" Nita decided to tell him everything now as Derrick would eventually find out about it sooner or later.

"Why are you a wanted criminal?" 'Did Arvin frame her for Rosa's imprisonment?' thought Derrick. However, he started to feel suspicious of Nita now.

"I told you that there was a misunderstanding about what had happened to Rosa. It was Arvin and Angela who had framed me."

'Misunderstanding? Framed you?' At that moment, Derrick ignored her explanation when he suddenly came to realise, "It's you who had kept Rosa Yin captive for seven years, isn't it? And regarding all of Angela's affairs, it was you who had stirred up all the trouble first, right? Arvin loves Angela, so you did all those things to hurt her, right?"

Nita's heart trembled. How did he come to realise all that, all of a sudden? No. No. She exclaimed, "You know nothing about me! Do you know how much I love Arvin? Derrick Luo, you would never understand my love for Arvin! Don't you get that? I have loved Arvin for many years. I acquired medical skills that I had no interest in at all, for Arvin's sake. But why did he fall in love with someone else?"

... Derrick covered his face in anguish. He finally realised how foolish he had been from the start and up until the end.

Because of this Nita, he had broken his friendship with his best friend; because of this woman, he had always misunderstood Angela; because of this woman, he was putting his company in danger of bankruptcy.

He burst into bitter laughter at his ignorance.

He didn't want to hear Nita's explanations anymore, so he hung up at once. Then, he dialed another number. The call was soon connected and he heard a familiar man's voice. "Hello, " said Arvin.

"It's you who arranged for Yvette and the reporters to crash my wedding ceremony today." Derrick said in an affirmed voice.

Arvin bluntly admitted, "Yes."

Derrick closed his eyes, and said, "Arvin..." He paused for a while, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "Can we go back to the past and try to restore our friendship?"
