Chapter 248


    "I did all these for you, for the whole family!"


    Mr. Xavier red back at Derek and raised his voice, "If you want to leave, then go and nevere


    back. The Xaviers doesn''t need a unfilial heir!"


    He was outrageous that he kept coughing. His face was red. He stumbled and almost fell.


    Derek was angry as well, but he got worried when he saw his grandpa being unwell. He walked over to


    help him, "Grandpa, calm down."


    "That''s all I want to say. My days are counted, Derek. Why can''t you satisfy myst will? This


    engagement is important for the Xaviers. As the heir, you have to make some sacrifices for the family."


    His grandpa persuaded him.


    Derek had never thought that his grandfather, who had always been dominant, would say that. His


    hands trembled and many recollections came into his mind.


    The happy days with Meredith, how worried and excited his grandpa was when he woke up, how his


    grandpa held his hand and taught him to walk when he was a kid... Meredith and grandpa, two most


    important person in his life.


    He could not any of them go.


    "Come back with me when you think it through."


    Mr. Xavier coughed again. He pushed Derek away and teetered foward.


    Only then did Derek realize that his grandfather, who had always been his hero was getting old. Even if


    he didn''t admit his being old, his bent back and gray hair would not lie.


    "Grandpa..."


    Derek walked over. After all, he couldn''t bear to look at his grandfather''s lonely back. It was a sad


    feeling when seeing a hero getting old.


    "Good boy. You have to remember no matter how long you''re out there, you have toe home


    eventually. Derek, don''t let me down again!"


    Mr. Xavier held Derek''s hands. For him, he really abandoned his dignity and left the Xaviers'' family


    affairs to the Leslies. Now, he was even willing to expose his vulnerable side to get Derek''s empathy.


    However, he had no other choice. As long as Derek was safe, it was worth it.


    "I... I know."


    Derek lowered his eyes. It was obviously not a wise choice to provoke his grandpa now. On the one


    hand, Meredith''s mother was still in the hand of the Leslies. If Meredith was missing and Amelia in


    trouble, then he was the one to be med.


    "Okay, let''s go back."


    Mr. Xavier nodded. Derek said nothing more and quietly helped his grandpa out of here.


    After a sleepless night in bed, Meredith heard a knock on the door.


    She went out to open the door and saw Violet standing at the door. Compared to Meredith''s haggard


    and disheveled figure with dark circles under her eyes, Violet was still elegant and energetic.


    She didn''t seem to feel guilty about kidnapping a pregnant woman. When she saw Meredithe out,


    she even smiled. "You don''t look very well. Don''t worry, I won''t do anything harmful to you. You can


    sleep tight."


    Meredith sneered in her heart, thinking how hypocritical Violet was.


    Meredith knew Violet well. In her eyes, people without wealth and power mean nothing. She didn''t


    consider others'' feelings at all. No one could resist her power and wealth. She could do whatever she


    wanted.


    "If Mrs. Xavier can keep calm after being kidnapped, then you cane back and lecture me."


    Meredith said indifferently. Violet was not angry at all. She just frowned. Meredith was from a humble


    family. Without proper education, she didn''t know how to respond to others'' kindness. That''s not


    unusual.


    However, it didn''t matter. Meredith couldn''t do anything but say some harsh words now. When the child


    was born, she wouldn''t meet such a poor woman again.


    "We''re leaving today. The Xaviers has an ind in the open sea. Everything has been prepared. I''ll


    send you there. After giving birth to the baby, you can leave."


    The open sea?


    Nice n! Although she knew what Violet was up to, she didn''t expect her to be so sick.


    After all, even if she died in the open sea, no one would know, even if someone reported it, no police


    would take care of it.


    "Is Mrs. Xavier trying that hard to kill me?"


    Meredith felt a little scared. She had seen how cruel the Xaviers could be. Violet hated her. If she really


    wanted to kill her, she would and can do it.


    Seeing that Meredith was frightened, Violet smiled, "Rx! I''m not that crazy. You just have to be


    obedient and don''t do anything to provoke me. I won''t be so stupid to do those bloody things on my


    own."


    It''s more like a warning than promise.


    Meredith''s face turned pale. She did think of a few ways to escape. She nned to pretend that she


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    was going to give birth, and then take the opportunity to call for help. Unexpectedly, Violet cut her off.


    Did that mean that if she dared to y tricks, Violet would never let here back?


    Meredith suddenly realized that she was really too weak to fight back.


    "I... Got it..."


    Meredith said in humiliation. Violet was pleasant to hear that. "Then let''s go."


    Meredith obediently followed behind the woman, her eyes filled with hatred that could not be resolved.


    Was she going to be a fertility tool and give her child to the Xaviers?


    She was really unwilling, but she couldn''t do anything.


    Meredith followed Violet into the car. Along the way, she didn''t say anything. Violet called a professional


    obstetrician and gynecologist to look at her the whole time. People who didn''t know the truth probably


    thought Violet cared about Meredith so much.


    "This person will be with you 24 hours a day from now on. She is an expert in foreign obstetrics and


    gynecology. I hope you can listen to her and follow her instructions, okay?"


    Violet said inly. In order to ensure the health and safety of Meredith''s baby, she thought thoroughly.


    "Got it."


    Meredith did not resist. She did not dare to act rashly at the thought of what Violet might do. She must


    not provoke this woman.


    "Very good." Seeing that Meredith was quiet and obedient, Violet was much more rxed. Soon, the


    car drove to the airport, where the Xaviers ne had been waiting for a long time.


    Meredith got out of the car and walked over step by step. Every step she took was as painful as if she


    was going to the execution ground. However, she had no choice but to follow Violet.


    Was there anyone... Who could help her?


    Seeing that she was about to board the ne, Meredith looked around in a daze, as if searching for the


    <pst straw. At this moment, a familiar figure lit up her eyes.
