Chapter 246
Derek had a dream while he was dozing off on the ne.
In his dream, he saw Meredith.
She sat in a very clean room with a newborn baby in her arms and smiled at him. The smile was as

pure as an angel.
Derek walked over gently when Meredith said to him, "The child is yours. It''s our child."
Just as Derek was about to take the baby from her arms, it all suddenly vanished.
Instead, Meredith was lying in the delivery room with arge pool of blood under her. She looked at him
resentfully. "Derek, I hate you. It''s all because of you. I hate you. I will never forgive you for the rest of
my life!"
The difference between the two scenes was so great that even Derek could not help but feel
frightened. Especially, the woman''s voice was so real, full of hatred for him, so strong that it could not
be weakened...
Derek opened his eyes suddenly and a few drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
How could he have such a bad dream?
Derek was breathing heavily when the stewardess came over as he instructed, "It''s less than an hour
away. Mr. Xavier... Did you sleep well?"
Derek waved his hand to let her out. He would not reveal his fragile side in front of any strangers.
Meredith, what happened to you? Derek had never been a superstitious person. But when it came to
what people cared about, they would be blind, even he was no exception.
Was she in trouble?
Derek looked out the window. The beautiful blue sky did not make him feel rxed. Instead, he felt
heavier and heavier...
Meredith, you must take care of yourself. Otherwise, I would go crazy...
An hourter, the nended, and Derek immediately turned on his phone. He saw an iing call
from Meredith.
Derek called back immediately, but no one answered.
The beep sound boiled him.
He had a premonition that something bad had happened to Meredith...
Worried and uneasy, Derek resisted the urge to smash his phone and called the bodyguard who stayed
there.
Because he didn''t want Meredith to find out that he was still monitoring her life, and he didn''t want the
Xaviers to get somthing more on him, Derek let Damian go home first and hired other people to keep
an eye on Meredith.
"Where is Meredith now?"
"Miss Mason? Is there anything wrong?"
Now, it waste at night abroad due to the jetg, and the people who were asked were confused.
They watched Meredithe home, so they went back to their ces.
The people Derek hired were the most expensive bodyguards, and some had even been mercenaries
before. They only epted the most dangerous tasks. This task of protecting a woman was really
below their pay grade.
In addition, Meredith''s life was routine, from hospital to home, from home to hospital. They really
couldn''t figure out what would go wrong, so they slowly put their guard down. This time, they made a
huge mistake. They left Meredith alone.
"Mr. Xavier, we will go checking it out right away."
Derek was instantly enraged. Check it out? Then it meant that Meredith was out of their sight. He
clearly asked them to watch over Meredith 24 hours a day to protect her, but these people were so
sloppy?
"If anything happens to her, I will hold you all responsible. Don''t even think about getting away."
Derek''s face was so heavy that he wanted to book the ne ticket immediately and flew back without
hesitation. Now that something like this had happened, how could he have the mind to rx here? He
wished he could show up there instantly.
However, just as he was about to book a flight, a the Xaviers car arrived.
This time, Mr. Xavier and Chloe came to pick him up.
"Derek, you''re finally back. Is everything going well abroad?"
"Grandpa, Derek doesn''t look pale. He must be tired. Why don''t you spare him this time?"
Chloe could see the gloominess in Derek''s eyes at a nce. Although it did not affect his handsome
appearance, it still made her heart ache, so she said coquettishly.
Of course, this was also to show her concern for Derek.
Her words were effective. Mr. Xavierughed, "You''re right. You are so considerate, much better than
me. Come on, Derek. Let''s forget about the work now. Go home and take a rest. I have prepared your
favorite cuisines."
"Grandpa, I..."
Derek looked at his grandpa and said, "The overseas department just reported an emergency. I have to
go back now."
"Nonsense!"
Mr. Xavier shouted, "You just came back and you have to go back now? Do you think your body is
made of iron? Come home with me now. Look at you. You look so haggard. the Xavier Group would not
go bankrupt even if you don''t go to work today. Get in and go home!"
"Grandpa, it''s an emergency. I must..."
How could he leave Meredith behind? Therefore, he chose to ignore his grandpa and insisted, "I''ll
After that, he turned around and was about to leave. He had to race against the clock. Meredith was
alone now. Derek was worried.
"How dare you!" Mr. Xavier was infuriated and kept coughing. The engagement was just around the
corner. If he left, everything would get out of control.
"Go take him back, by any means!"
A group tall men got out of the car and ran after Derek. "Young master, pleasee with us!"
"Unless you want to fight with me?" Derek didn''t want to waste time with them.
Now, he would not hesitate to beat the crap out of whoever stood in his way.
"If you insist."
As soon as the words fell, all guards rushed up and circled Derek. They didn''t dare to hit Derek hard,
but after all, they were trained well. With good team work, they quickly got Derek under control.
Derek did not expect his grandpa to be so cruel. He struggled but failed. His eyes reddened out of
anxiety and helplessness.
"Grandpa, let me go... I have to go back..."
Those guys dragged Derek to the car, and Mr. Xavier slowly said, "Derek, since you''re home, you can''t
leave. I know you well and have got fully prepared."
Mr. Xavier brought a few guards with him, just in case Derek would regreat or even escape. He didn''t
expect them toe in handy.
"Go home now! Chloe has been busytely."
