Chapter 231


    Meredith''s mother was in a good condition now. If they went there now, they could see her mother and


    save them some trouble in the meantime.


    However, seeing Derek''s cold face in the rearview mirror, Damian swallowed his doubts and drove


    silently to a nearby hospital.


    When the car stopped, Derek carefully carried Meredith down. She slept very soundly, perhaps


    because she was too tired. And even if she was moved like this, there was no sign of her waking up.


    After putting her on the bed, Derek called the doctor to examine her.


    "This youngdy is just too tired and seems to be emotionally unstable. It''ste pregnancy now. As a


    family member, you should pay attention to her emotions!"


    The doctor did some checking and found that Meredith was fine, so he told Derek the result and gave


    him the advice.


    Derek nodded. Even so, he didn''t want to provoke her at a time like this, but in the end...


    The man''s eyes dimmed. "Got it."


    The doctor went out, and Derek sat aside, looking at Meredith''s face while she was sleeping.


    Unlike the tranquility of yesterday, Meredith now frowned slightly even when she was asleep, as if she


    was not at ease even in her dreams.


    Derek could not help but reach out and gently caress her brows as if trying to drive away the sadness


    in her heart.


    Even now, he was the one who should be responsible for her worry.


    In her sleep, Meredith felt a familiar hand caressing her forehead. It was very gentle andfortable.


    Inexplicably, it eased her agitated mood and made her sleep more soundly.


    "Xavier... Derek..."


    Derek''s heart softened when he heard Meredith''s whisper. This woman...


    What he said back then was actually him being angry with himself. Now he was much relieved, Derek


    pulled the quilt for her to prevent her from catching a cold.


    ...


    The night passed quickly.

    When Meredith woke up, it was already bright. She opened her eyes and checked where she was. She


    was confused for a moment before sitting up. "What happened?"


    Where was she now? Wasn''t she at...


    At the thought of what happenedst night, Meredith''s face, which had be much better from a


    good rest, turned pale again.


    Yesterday, didn''t she see Derek tangle with a young woman and she left alone, fainting on a bench?


    Looking at the surroundings, Meredith was puzzled. Who sent her here?


    Just as Meredith was in a daze, Damian walked in and saw her wake up. "Miss Mason, you''re finally


    awake. You fainted on the side of the road. Fortunately, someone found you and sent you to the


    hospital. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."


    Meredith listened to Damian while feeling something was wrong in her heart. She clearly felt that


    someone very familiar had sent her here. That feeling made her feel at ease.


    "Who sent me here?"


    Damian was taken aback by the question, then quickly covered it up. "It was a passer-by who called


    me here to look for you."


    Seeing that Damian was so sure, Meredith did not doubt anything, but the hope just rosed in her heart


    was extinguished again.


    She actually... Felt that the warm embrace belonged to that man.


    However, it was impossible not that she thought of it. Derek had entered the hotel with that young


    woman. How should he care about if she lives or dies?


    She felt fine when she wasn''t dwelling on the possibility. Now that she went too far into it, Meredith felt


    a little sour in her nose. She didn''t expect that the person who cared about her most now was Damian.


    She didn''t know if she was sad or pitiful.


    "I''m fine. You can leave me now." Meredith was depressed for a moment, but she still hid it. She had to


    go back and look after Amelia.


    Yesterday, since she had already made up her mind, she would not continue epting his favor by


    letting her mother stay in the hospital that Derek arranged for them.


    The days ahead may be tough, but... She had to keep herst shred of dignity.


    "..." Damian saw Meredith''s insistence and did not make further remarks.


    However, he did not understand a bit of what these two people were thinking.


    In particr, yesterday Derek ignored that he still had a meeting this morning. He stayed here all night


    and left when he saw that it was almost dawn. He obviously cared very much about her, but he didn''t


    want Meredith to find out. It was hard for Damian to figure out what was the end of it.


    Now, looking at Meredith''s obviously absent look, Damian was also worried about the two of them.


    Since they clearly cared about each other, why went around in circles and tortured each other like this?


    However, he was just an assistant following orders. Even if he had a thousand kinds of puzzles, he


    could only endure it.


    "Miss Mason, you should eat before you leave."


    Damian waited outside when she got changed and brought the food that Derek had ordered for her to


    Meredith.


    Meredith was in a daze for a moment when she saw that all the food was to her taste. Then, she


    How could he have time to care about the toy that had lost its novelty to him?


    Although Meredith had no appetite, she still tried to eat for the baby''s sake. After all, she almost hurt


    the baby yesterday because of her willfulness. She must not do that again.


    Watching Meredith finish her breakfast, Damian took her back to Amelia''s hospital.


    Meredith first tidied up her appearance and walked in as if nothing had happened.


    "Mer, why are you here so early? I told you it''s not convenient for you to travel like that. You should stay


    at home and rest. You don''t have toe to see me all the time."


    Amelia looked at Meredith worryingly. Her daughter was in herte pregnancy, but she was still lying on


    the hospital bed, unable to do anything for her daughter, which made her feel guilty and helpless.


    "Mom, I''m fine. I have nothing to do at home alone. Of course, I have to spend more time with you."


    Meredith smiled, but the smile was mixed with difficulty and helplessness.


    She really didn''t want to be alone. It was Derek''s house. There, she remembered how she was, how


    she felt, and how determined she was to wait for him.


    But now...


    It was all over.


    "Mer, what''s wrong? You''re not your usual self."


    As a mother, how could she not see the difference in her daughter? When she felt the helplessness in


    Meredith''s words, her heart ached.


    Something must have happened to Meredith.


    "Mom... I''m sorry..." Meredith saw Amelia''s concerned expression and lost control. "I''m useless. We


    might have to leave here."
