Chapter 616


    Seeing that Violet agreed, Derek immediately asked someone to secretly spread the news through the


    people around him.


    Everyone was inquiring about his injuries, so everyone in the upper echelons of J City would know his


    situation soon.


    By then, he would know who really cared about him.

    "Mom, since you''ve agreed to my bet, I hope you don''t talk to Evelyn and let everything go fairly."


    When Violet heard that, she felt a little sad.


    She didn''t expect that she had be such a person in her son''s eyes. Didn''t she want him to find a


    woman who could really share weal and woe with him?


    "Don''t worry, I also hope that your wife is a good woman who can share weal and woe with you, so I


    won''t do anything to interfere. But remember your promise that if Evelyn is still willing to be with you in


    this situation, you must marry her!"


    Derek agreed without hesitation.


    The reason he was so resolute was because he was sure that Evelyn''s feelings for him were not that


    deep.


    Seeing that Derek was so forthright, Violet did not say anything more. She put down the thing in her


    hand and left.


    Dereky on the bed and closed his eyes, deep in thought.


    It was indeed a gamble. If he lost, he would lose his life''s happiness, but he was still willing to try.


    At the very least, he wanted to know if Meredith''s feelings for him were that deep.


    ...


    The next day, Amelia woke up on the hospital bed.


    Meredith and Song Ellie stood by her bed and almost cried with joy when they saw her wake up.


    But they didn''t dare to say anything casually but immediately called the doctor in for an examination.


    After the doctor finished the examination, a smile appeared on his serious face.


    "The operation is sessful. As long as you take a good rest, you will probably be discharged soon."


    Hearing this, three people finally stopped being so nervous.


    Tears welled up in Amelia''s eyes. She was free to move around now.


    "Mom, you''re finally getting better. That''s great." Meredith couldn''t help but say happily.


    Ellie wanted to call her mother, too. She had always wanted to call her own mother, but now they still


    didn''t recognize each other, so she had to hold back.


    Meredith noticed her expression and immediately understood something.


    But now that Amelia had just woken up, Meredith was too afraid to tell the truth to provoke her, so she


    had to hold back for the time being.


    After a while, Ellie said she was going out to buy something, and Meredith immediately followed her.


    "Ellie, wait a minute."


    Ellie was stopped and forced a smile on her face.


    Just now in the ward, although she also spoke, but after all, she was an outsider. The iparable


    intimacy and trust between Meredith and Amelia was something she had never experienced before.


    "I know you''re not feeling well right now, but don''t worry. I n to tell the truth in these two days, but I


    want our mother to think that what happened in the past was just an ident. I don''t want her to worry


    about me anymore."


    "I just want to recognize her as my mother as soon as possible. That''s all. Your consideration is


    reasonable so I''m willing to cooperate with you."


    Ellie felt much better when she heard Meredith''s constion.


    She knew that there was no rush, and she calmed down gradually.


    Forget it. Even if she wanted to recognize her mother, she should be patient.


    Meredithforted Ellie a little more, and then Ellie thought of something, "Do you know the thing


    about Derek? It seems that it has got around now."


    When Meredith heard this, she immediately had a bad feeling.


    Thest time she called the hospital, the doctor refused to reveal anything. And her mother had just


    finished her operation, so Meredith hesitated for a long time, but she didn''t go to find him in the end.


    Unexpectedly, it was Ellie who told her the news.


    "What''s wrong with him? Is something serious?"


    "I heard that the ident had damaged his nerves and his life in the future might be affected."


    Ellie hesitated for a moment, but she felt that Meredith should know about it, so she told the truth.


    Meredith''s eyes darkened when she heard the news.


    Originally, when Easton said this, she was still having luck. Maybe the child heard it wrong, or


    remembered it wrong. But now Ellie knew it and it had got around. So Meredith couldn''t lie to herself


    anymore.


    Derek was really in trouble, and it was so serious.


    Meredith was terribly upset.


    "I told you this news because I just want you to see your heart clearly. I will take care of mom and you


    don''t have to worry. The problem now is how you think."


    Seeing Meredith''s current state, Ellie reminded her helplessly.


    This was all she could do, and it was up to Meredith to decide what to do next.


    Meredith nodded, "I see. I''ll think about it seriously. I want to find a ce to calm down."


    Ellie did think so. So she didn''t say anything more but let Meredith leave alone.


    Meredith walked out of the hospital in a daze. She never thought that what happened to Derek would


    be so serious. She thought that she could be indifferent to his affairs, but she didn''t expect it to be like


    this at all.


    It was impossible for her to be indifferent to this man. After she knew that he was hurt, her heart was


    still hurting badly.
