You Are Derilo
They got into the vehicle to leave the manor.
Naturally, Derila got into Daemon's car. Behind her, William called out, "D-Dr. Feroma…"
Derila turned at her shoulder. "Mm?"
"I…" William parted his lips before changing his mind. "Take care!"
"I need some time to figure out the treatment plan for your leg. I'll contact you when it's ready, " Derila explained. After flashing him one last grin, she entered the car.
William looked away reluctantly before realizing Daemon was glaring at him. He immediately said, "Daemon, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Daemon replied icily before wounding the window up.
The convoy drove away slowly.
Harrison glanced at William's convoy through the rearview mirror and said solemnly, "Pastor didn't send anyone after us. To play it safe, I reminded Prince William to leave M Nation as soon as possible."
"Mm, " Daemon grunted in reply. He seemed to be deep in thought.
"Mr. Lierger, when are we leaving?" Harrison asked carefully.
"Find her." Daemon looked away.
"Yes."
Harrison knew what Daemon's greatest regret was. He has been looking for the girl all over the years. Now that we finally get a clue, he won't give up easily.
"Who are you talking about?" Derila asked curiously. "Derilo?"
She thought Daemon wanted to find Derilo.
"You're Derilo, right?"
Suddenly, Daemon's gaze fell on her. A riot of emotions glinted in his eyes.
Derila jolted in fright. It took her a few seconds to find her voice. "Who told you that?"
"Looks like I got it right." Daemon arched a brow. "You hid yourself well!"
"Dr. Feroma is the legendary Derilo?" Harrison could barely hide his shock. "No wonder Clark kept asking about you after your first meeting. I asked about Derilo, but he refused to divulge anything. Prince William paid a lot of attention to you, too. I thought he liked you, but now I realized that's because you're Derilo!"
"That was how you guessed it?" Derila asked with her brows raised.
"A while ago, William called you ‘Derila' twice, " Daemon added. "It was just a guess, but your reaction proved that I am right."
"I didn't mean to keep it a secret from you. I don't remember anything, " Derila revealed honestly. "Prince William recognized me and told me about my past. That was how I found out I was Derilo."
"Oh, we've been searching for you high and low, but turns out you were with us!" Harrison was delighted. "There's hope for Mr. Lierger!"
"You don't trust my medical skills, right?" Derila retorted icily. "Didn't you kick me out?"
"Oh, that was a misunderstanding, " Harrison hastily explained. "I was a fool."
"Forget about it. Let's stop talking about the past." Derila gave a dismissive wave. "We should discuss the medical fee. Now that my identity is different, shouldn't you pay me extra?"
"Well, about that…" Harrison cast Daemon an awkward look.
"You asked for a hundred million in M Nation's currency. Wasn't that enough?" Daemon's brows snapped together. "Don't be too greedy."
"If I didn't save you today, you'd be—"
"I was fully prepared even if you didn't take action, " Daemon interjected calmly. "I wanted to ask you a question, though. Why is my little green snake with you?"
"I found it hiding in your luggage, " Derila revealed smugly. "After playing with it for a while, it slithered into my pocket obediently."
"The snake is extremely venomous. You aren't afraid of it?" Harrison got curious. "Besides, why did it listen to you obediently?"
"I was born with the ability to tame animals, " Derila replied proudly.
She lifted her arm, and the snake curled around her wrist.
