Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 553 Accompany You To See Your Mom

After leaving the hospital, Derrick got into his car and leaned back to watch the incessant flow of cars outside the window as a gush of unfathomable emotions began clouding his eyes. A dozen minutes had passed by the time he straightened his body and stepped on the gas pedal to drive off.

His destination was the restaurant where Kate and Tiffany had their meal that day. Upon entering the restaurant, he used his connections to have the restaurant manager obtain the recordings from the surveillance cameras. The footage showed Kate and Tiffany entering the restaurant together, to the part where the latter furiously stalked out with her bag. A waiter was later seen entering the private room, followed by a group of waiters rushing into the room. Before long, the ambulance arrived, and Kate was carried out of the restaurant.

“Was there anything odd with these two people when they first stepped into the restaurant?” Derrick asked.

The waiter gave the question a thought before answering, “They were chattering away happily—there was nothing out of the ordinary. As you know, Mrs. Hisson is breathtakingly beautiful. She had everyone’s attention as soon as she stepped foot into the restaurant, so we are fully aware of how she was acting when she was here.”

Derrick furrowed his brows. “During the time Tiff left the restaurant, did she behave strangely?” he asked.

To that, the waiter responded, “Mr. Hisson, isn’t it clearly shown in the footage? We weren’t paying much attention to Ms. Winters when she was leaving. It was only when Mrs. Hisson made a call to the reception to ask for waiters to take orders that our waiter found her on the ground. How is she now?”

Derrick simply nodded and turned to leave.

When he got into his car, grimness darkened his gaze as he leaned his back against the driver’s seat, seemingly deep in his thought.

Then, he called Tiffany, who only picked up after a long time.

“Derrick,” she called out on the other end of the line.

Derrick took in a deep breath and tried to maintain an even tone. “Tiff, are you at home?”

“Yes, I’m at home. I will be going to Amelia’s place for dinner. Do you have time? Care to join us for dinner?” Tiffany offered.

He shut his eyes and opened them again. “I will see about that when I get to your place.”
