Chapter 277
"I didn''t expect this to happen."
After Mr. Xavier dealing with the issue, he called Damian over and asked about everything in detail.
"When did he find... That thing?"
It was definitely not Meredith''s ashes in that thing, it should be just Parker''s cover tricks, but no one
expected this to happen.
"A few days ago."
"Why didn''t you report this in time?" Mr. Xavier frowned.
Now, it was alreadyte for him to tell Derek that Meredith was not dead.
It would be better to keep this mistake.
The heir to the Xaviers must not be defeated by such a small thing.
"Where''s young master?"
Thinking for a moment, Mr. Xavier sighed and asked about Easton.
The housekeeper brought Easton over here, who was still asleep.
Now he was much bigger than when he was born. He was as light and tender as a snowball. He knew
nothing about what was happening. He looked as adorable as an angel when he fell asleep.
"I''ll take Easton to him. I''ll take care of this."
Mr. Xavier held Easton in his arms with mixed feelings.
...
Mr. Xavier arrived at the hospital soon.
Not long after, he found Derek.
Violet was present too, but they didn''t talk. Violet was too shocked to know what to say.
Derek didn''t want to talk at all.
Right now, he didn''t want to say anything. He just wanted to be alone.
Mr. Xavier''s eyes trembled when he saw the urn in Derek''s arms.
Although he was mentally prepared, it was impossible not to be surprised when he saw his grandson,
who had been inspired since he was a child, turn to this situation.
"Derek."
Mr. Xavier called him faintly, his voice frazzled.
"It is time. Just let go. You can''t keep doing this, and... You have to let Meredith rest in peace. If you
keep doing this, she won''t be peaceful."
Derek didn''t say anything. Mr. Xavier came closer, and then Easton woke up.
Since he felt he was not in a familiar environment, with the hospital''s pungent smell, Easton wrinkled
his little nose and cried loudly.
"This is you and that woman''s flesh and blood. Don''t you even care about him?"
Mr. Xavier also felt sad when he saw that Derek did not touch at all.
Derek listened numbly to the child''s crying. It was so noisy...
He stood up and nced at the little boy with his little hand outstretched and his face flushed with
tears. "I never thought of trading Meredith''s life for his birth. It was your wishful thinking all along."
"But this is the only thing that Meredith left behind. If you don''t believe me, look at his face. It looks like
her..."
Derek''s footsteps paused. He looked at the tightly wrapped child. Indeed, his eyes and brows were
almost exactly the same as Meredith''s. They were crystal clear and gave people a feeling of closeness.
"Even if you don''t care about the Xaviers and hate us, do you even want to give up Meredith''s child?"
Mr. Xavier said wearily.
Derek didn''t say anything. Easton saw a tall man appear suddenly in front of him. Although he had
never met him before, he had an inexplicable sense of closeness.
For a moment, he stopped crying and making a scene. Instead, he blinked his big eyes and looked at
Derek, reaching out his fat little hands to touch the man in front of him.
"Look, this is the strength of blood. He stopped crying when he saw you."
Mr. Xavier loosened his hands and motioned for Derek to hold Easton.
Derek was stunned. He looked at the baby, who inherited Meredith''s face, and unconsciously took him
into his arms.
The warmth made him want to cry.
This was... The child that Meredith gave birth to at the expense of her life...
Mr. Xavier was relieved to see that Derek had finally put down the urn and no longer had the look of
being eager to die.
"Bury her... Someday..."
Derek held the child tighter. "I want to bury her in the Xaviers''s cemetery, in the name of my wife."
Violet, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard his words and walked over. "What nonsense are
you talking about... How could she..."
He answered her with silence.
Sometimes silence was more determined than words.
"Okay, I promise you."
Mr. Xavier gritted his teeth. "Inform the Bets that the engagement between our two families will be
canceled."
Everyone present was shocked.
The engagement between the Xaviers and the Bets''s was a big deal, and everyone knew it, and
they just cancelled that easily?
"Dad!"
"That''s it. I was wrong."
He was wrong about underestimating Derek''s feelings for Meredith?
He thought that if he continued to argue and drove Derek crazy, he would regret it.
So, that was it.
"This is for the good of the Bets, in case something like this happens again..."
Thinking of Chloe, who was still undergoing treatment, Mr. Xavier sighed. "Make it up to her in other
ways."
Seeing that the Old Master had made up his mind, Violet said nothing more.
...
News of the cancetion of the Xaviers and the Bets''s engagement soon spread.
Although nobody knew what happened, under the Xaviers''s forceful methods, no tabloids dared to
write in any incredible ways.
Everything was surprisingly calm.
It was just that someone asionally mentioned it, but it was just a word after a meal.
On his own idea, Derek buried Meredith''s urn in the Xaviers cemetery.
It was a good day, and Derek carried Easton to her grave.
The stolen photo, with a calm and beautiful smile, was carefully embedded on the tombstone.
"Meredith, our child, I will take care of him... What I owe you may only be repaid in the next life. Wait for
me."

Derek stood in front of the tombstone. Not long after, Damian pushed Amelia over.
"Meredith will be buried here. You can visit her anytime."
Amelia refused toe at the beginning, but in order not to arouse Derek''s suspicion, she had to
She only thought that this man might have gone crazy.
She could not understand what he was thinking, but at the thought of meeting her grandson, whom she
had never met before, she decided toe.
If she could take a picture and let Meredith take a look, Meredith might be happy.
Amelia walked to the tombstone and felt ufortable when she saw her daughter''s photo pasted on
it.
It was like her daughter was cursed, but she held back her unhappiness.
Immediately, a line read below - "Wife of Derek."
"What does that mean?"
Amelia''s face was full of disbelief, thinking of the end of the marriage between the Xaviers and the
Bets. Did he do this to make Meredith rest in the name of his wife?
