Chapter 496


    Derek finished his sentence expressionlessly.


    However, he made people feel a kind of invisible pressure. It was as if a storm wasing.


    Wesley and Erin trembled in fear. They knew that with their current status, Derek could trample on


    them like trampling on aunts.


    But, after all, Ava was still waiting for the money to get saved. So, they didn''t flinch.


    It was a standoff between them.


    Meredith coughed and tugged at the corner of Derek''s shirt.


    "Forget it. I''ll take out the money..."


    Meredith naturally understood Derek''s character.


    This man yielded to the weak but not to the strong. If others threatened him, they would end up


    miserably.


    Now, because there was no other clue, Meredith didn''t want things toe to a dead end.


    After all, Amelia''s illness was her greatest concern.


    Derek turned around and saw the worry and anxiety in Meredith''s eyes. Derek felt helpless, so he said,


    "Take this woman to the hospital first."


    Seeing that Derek had said so, Wesley heaved a sigh of relief and quickly took Ava to the ambnce.


    Then, they went to the best hospital in the city.


    Ava was quickly sent to the hospital''s emergency clinic. Derek looked at the anxious Wesley and Erin


    and said indifferently, "Now, you can tell me exactly what happened."


    "No, we have to wait until Ava wakes up."


    Erin still wanted to use this opportunity to get more money, so she pulled Wesley to forbid him to go


    over.


    Wesley didn''t know what to say because he had no impression of what happened in the past. When


    Meredith came to himst time, he told her everything he could remember.


    If he couldn''t say something that would make Derek feel satisfied, the consequences would be very


    serious.


    "I think so."


    Wesley hid behind Erin. After a while, he found an excuse to ask Erin to go outside with him.


    "It''s all your fault for not taking care of Ava properly and letting this happen to her. I don''t even


    remember what happened back then. How do you expect me to face Derek''s anger?"


    "Back then?"


    When Erin heard this, she immediately asked.


    Now, Wesley was worried that Derek would settle the score with him. So he told her everything.


    "So... Meredith is not your daughter?"


    When Erin heard this, she couldn''t help but sneer in her heart.


    She thought that no matter howcent Amelia was, Amelia was still a loser as she lost her child


    and couldn''t keep her man.


    "the Smiths? It can''t be that the Smiths in the Capital City, right? I''ve heard that of the Smiths. If


    Meredith is from the Smiths, we can''t stand the consequences if she settles the score with uster."


    Erin was usually peacockish and knew more about those famous families than anyone else.


    And she also kept an eye on the Smiths before. She wanted to get close to the Smiths by having Ava


    married into the Smiths.


    After hearing this, Wesley was also lost in thought.


    It turned out that Meredith''s biological parents were such powerful people.


    He wondered whether his daughter could live well there.


    How could Erin not know what Wesley was thinking?


    She couldn''t help but sneer and say, "Don''t think that as long as you get your own daughter back, then


    you can make aeback. She''s been in the Smiths for so many years. It''s not certain whether she


    wants to recognize you as her father or not."


    Wesley was a little angry. "What are you talking about?"


    "Humph. In short, don''t think about getting rid of me and Ava. Even if we die, we will die with you


    together."


    Wesley clenched his fists. In the past, he had always felt that Erin was gentle and kind, but Amelia only


    knew to ask him to work and develop his business. He felt that Amelia was not a qualified wife.


    Now, after aparison, he realized that people who seemed to treat you well may not be really good


    to you.


    For a moment, he regretted all the things he had done in the past.


    Ava was pushed out of the emergency room just as they were arguing.


    They immediately went over to see the situation of Ava.


    "Are you her family?"


    "Yes, doctor. How''s my daughter?"


    "You are not worthy of being her parents. Your daughter took drugs and drank, so she remained


    unconscious. If shees hereter, she''ll die."


    The doctor didn''t like the drug addict. It was as if he felt unlucky, so he left immediately.

    When Erin heard this, her heart was filled with despair.


    She didn''t expect Ava to take drugs. It was a bottomless pit. A man''s life was over as long as he/she


    took drugs.


    Naturally, Meredith heard it too. She didn''t know how she felt when she heard that Ava was taking


    drugs.


    Ava was such a morous female star before, but now she became like this. This was the karma.


    If Ava hadn''t done so many evil things in the past, she wouldn''t have had this kind of consequence


    now.


    Derek, on the other hand, felt nothing. Ava had such a devious character and no one subjected her to


    discipline. It was not surprising that Ava would end up in this way.


    Moreover, he had no need to care about this woman at all. He just nced at Wesley.


    "Now that she''s out of danger, you cane with us."


    Wesley had no excuse this time. He nced at Erin and followed Derek and left.


    Derek took Wesley to thepany and told his men not toe in and disturb them no matter what


    happened.


    "Now, tell me everything you know."


    Wesley thought about it. He wanted to help. But things had passed for such a long time, he could not


    offer much help even if he wanted to.


    "It''s a long time ago. I don''t think I can recall much."


    "You must recall."


    Derek was very impatient. He had been wasting his time and energy on Wesley for so long. If he didn''t


    get the result he wanted, he would have the intent to kill Wesley.


    "But it happened more than twenty years ago..."


    Wesley frowned. "Oh, I remember that doctor. His surname is Chow."


    Chow?


    When Derek and Meredith heard this, they immediately became alert. "Are you sure?"


    "I''m sure. I was impressed as he was a man but he came to deliver babies."


    At this moment, Derek was sure of one thing in his heart. The doctor was definitely not a simple


    person. It should be a carefully nned plot as the children were taken away mistakenly.


    "Then, do you have any connection with that the Smiths?"


    Wesley remembered what Erin said and shook his head. "I''ve never heard of the Smiths, and I don''t


    know anyone..."


    After hearing this, Derek frowned.


    Wesley did say something, but things Wesley said didn''t make much sense.


    After all, no one knew when Andy would wake up from hisa.


    "Are there any other doctors and nurses?"


    Meredith thought for a moment and suddenly thought of it.
