This made the man chuckle lightly, "Good, then I don't have to worry about scaring you with my looks."
"How could you possibly scare me?" Xia Ning said earnestly, "You are the person I trust most in this world."
Derek's gaze became even more profound and inscrutable.
He took the water cup Xia Ning had put aside, "I'll add some hot water for you."
"Dr. Derek," Xia Ning stopped him, "May... may I see what you look like?"
"My appearance?" the man asked nonchalantly.
Xia Ning nodded, her face full of sincerity: "I'm just very curious about your appearance. We've known each other for so long, yet I still don't know what you actually look like."
"Is there a necessity to know?" the man's tone was calm, laced with a hint of detachment as he said, "Miss Xia, once you leave this hospital room, there will be no intersection between us."
