Derek POV
Lexie’s eyes widen at my reaction. “Look, Derek is not what you think. Your father said you did not know about it, and I should keep it a secret,” she explained in a low, desperate voice.
Anger cloaked my heart as I took a step back. f**k! I have been lied to again and again and again. Charles kept such a big secret from me for two whole years, and he spoke with me almost every week, if not every day.
The woman I am about to get married to knew as well but kept it from me. Why? Because I am not a good son, I won't be able to take care of my father.
But why would my father tell her? I mean, he can be brutal to me, but I knew one thing for sure: he did not just stroll around sharing his health secret with whoever wanted to hear it.
Maybe because she was his favorite assistant
