Chapter 487


    After hearing what Easton said, Meredith was even shyer, but it was impossible for her to break away


    from Derek.

    So she was carried into the bedroom.


    "So, it''s better to tell the truth, or else, I can only use some unconventional means."


    Derek smiled evilly. Meredith immediately understood what he meant. "Just something hit my back. It''s


    not serious. I only need to rest for two days."


    "Hit?"


    Derek frowned even tighter. Wasn''t it obvious that someone had hit her?


    After all, even if she fell or something, she wouldn''t hurt her back.


    "Show me."


    Derek reached out to untie Meredith''s clothes.


    Who knew if this woman was trying to be strong again?


    "Didn''t you say you didn''t need to..."


    "Who knows if you''re telling the truth?"


    Derek was determined to cheat. Meredith had no choice but to give up.


    When he untied her clothes, he saw a bruise mark on her fair skin, which seemed painful, and the man


    looked even more awful.


    "Who did it?"


    Now that someone dared to hit Meredith, was he tired of living?


    "Forget it. It''s been dealt with."


    Meredith didn''t want to talk about the Masons, but Derek was relentless. "You went out with Penelope


    today? If you don''t tell me, I''ll have to ask her."


    "Don''t..."


    Meredith stopped Derek. Penelope had been running with her for a whole day. It was hard enough. If


    Penelope was to be questioned by Derek, she would be too exhausted.


    "I went for Wesley because I wanted to know what happened when I was born."


    Meredith told him everything that had happened today. Unexpectedly, after Derek heard it, not only


    didn''t he feel any better, but he gave her a hard p on the buttocks. "If you want to find a clue, why


    don''t you ask me to go with you?"


    Had this woman not learned any lesson after having suffered so much from the Masons?


    At the thought of this, Derek wanted to press her down on the bed and teach her a lesson so that she


    could remember it.


    Meredith was so embarrassed by his actions that she buried her face in the sheets and her ears were


    red. "I just think you''re busy, and I don''t want to rely on you to do anything."


    After Derek heard this, he felt helpless and heartbroken. This woman''s stubbornness really made him


    helpless, but if she wasn''t like this, maybe he wouldn''t like her so much.


    "I''ll put some medicine on you."


    Derek had no choice but to find the ointment and put it on for Meredith. Although he said it unhappily,


    he did it gently.


    Of course, there was nock of thinking about how to make ra pay the price in his mind.


    "So, what information did you get?"


    "Wesley said that there was only one woman who also gave birth that day. It was said that she was


    from some the Smiths in the Capital City."


    Derek paused, as if he didn''t expect her to say this. the Smiths in the Capital City, perhaps the average


    person didn''t know about it, but how could he not know?


    the Smiths, a famous family in Capital City, was no less strong than the Xaviers in terms of money or


    power.


    However, Derek remembered very clearly that the Smiths had no granddaughter, and the Old Master


    Mr. Smith had only one daughter. She had a son and was now the only heir to the Smiths.


    In the Smiths, there was only one granddaughter, the eldest son''s daughter.


    Things gotplicated.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Seeing that Derek''s movements had stopped, Meredith thought something might have happened and


    looked up.


    "I know this the Smiths."


    "You know it? That''s great!" Meredith was grinning from ear to ear when she heard this. Since she


    knew where the Smiths was, it was much easier for her to find it.


    Derek looked at her excited expression and paused.


    This the Smiths was a famous family in Capital City with a deep foundation, which was even better than


    the Xaviers.


    In the beginning, the Xaviers expanded its business and went to Capital City to visit the Old Master of


    the Smiths.


    Coincidentally, the Old Master of the Smiths took a liking to Derek, who was still in school, and thought


    he was a talented person whom he could entrust his precious granddaughter to.


    However, Derek and Chloe were in love at that time, so naturally he was not interested in a girl he had


    never met before, and he rejected the marriage.


    At that time, the situation was not very pleasant. After all, the Smiths was used to being high and


    mighty, and they were in Capital City. They felt that it was condescending to marry their granddaughter


    to a person in such a remote city as J City, but they were even rejected by Derek.


    Therefore, it was considered bad blood, and there were very few contacts between themter.


    the Xaviers''s business, therefore, had not been promoted to Capital City.


    It would be difficult to find them and ask them to donate bone marrow now.


    "What''s wrong..."


    Derek paused, not knowing whether to say it or not.


    Meredith saw his troubled expression, and her heart wrenched. "Could it be that something has


    happened to that girl, or what?"


    At the thought of this possibility, Meredith felt the glimmer of hope that had just been found was


    extinguished, and she was so concerned that she stood up in a hurry.


    Seeing this, Derek quicklyforted her. "That''s not it."


    "Then what''s the matter?"


    Derek knew that now Meredith had ced all her hopes on it. If he told her that it was difficult to obtain


    bone marrow, she might not be able to ept it for a while, so he found an excuse to exin it.


    "The Smiths, a wealthy family in Capital City, has always acted in a unique manner and rarely interacts


    with people. If we take the risk to look for them, it will be difficult."


    "..." Meredith was disappointed to hear this.


    "But don''t be too disappointed. I''ll get someone to check on them as soon as possible. Also, you said


    you went to the hospital to look for the files?"


    Derek did not have any good feelings for Wesley''s family. Although he felt that Wesley could not make


    up such a big lie, if it was inurate information, it would be a waste of energy. So, he thought of


    looking for someone to double-check it.


    "Well, it just didn''t go well. There was a director. He was fine, but when he heard that we were going to


    check the birth records, he got angry immediately. We didn''t know what was going on."


    Meredith probably knew what Derek was thinking. This matter was rted to Amelia''s body and her


    background. Wesley''s one-sided statement was not reliable.


    "Oh?" Derek frowned.


    He had a feeling that there was something wrong with it.


    If the doctor really didn''t want to help, he could just kick them out as soon as he found them, but he


    changed his face after they mentioned the birth records.
