The Good Girl's Revenge

Derek's mood was a little more complicated, but soon, the nurse came back. She didn't dare to cold-shoulder Derek, so she came here by running.

After thanking her, Derek took the ointment and entered the ward. Meredith had already changed her clothes.

However, the clothes which fit Derek very well looked like a loose robe on her body. The hem even reached the middle of her thigh. Her originally slender and petite body was swaying in the clothes. It made her looked like a little pitiful.

Derek's eyes darkened and he gave the ointment to her. "Apply the ointment.”

Meredith's face, which had already cooled down, was burning again. "I'll just do it myself.”

Derek raised his eyebrows playfully. "You want me to apply the medicine for you that much?”

Only then did Meredith realize that Derek didn't say that he was going to apply the medicine to her. But when she said so, the atmosphere seemed to be even more ambiguous. She could only cough twice quickly. "No, I was just talking nonsense.”

With that said, she snatched the ointment from Derek's hand in anger and embarrassment and ran into the bathroom to apply the medicine.

This time, Derek did not chase after her. Instead, he went back to the place where he had just sat and looked at the information that Damian had sent over.

The last time Derek had asked him to investigate Meredith, so the information was already there and was sent directly by Damian to him, and even the information that was omitted last time was also sent over this time.

As Derek looked, his face was getting more and more gloomy.

Meredith's sentence was very severe. And not only that, she seemed to have received some special “care’. Someone arranged for her to be sent to those wards where those people who were sentenced to life imprisonment or suspended death lived.

Those people were all extremely vicious. They had killed people or had done a lot of outrageous things, and Meredith was not in the same world as them.

When a little sheep like Meredith went there, it was like a lamb in a tiger's mouth. Not only would she be bullied to do things that no one else liked to do, but also she would be beaten up from time to time.

The only good thing was that in order to save her life, Julius made a deal with the Floreses. He decided to study abroad and cut off contact with Meredith so as to let the Floreses help to ensure that she would not die in prison

Derek clenched the document in his hand.

When he saw these words, given the fact that he had heard from Meredith that she was framed by Ava in particular, his surging anger could not be suppressed.

"Keep investigating. Remember to find out exactly what the Masons had done in the past.”

If the Masons had really planted Ava's crime on Meredith at the beginning, then he would never let everyone in the Masons go easily. They must pay the price for their malice.

Meredith finished applying the medicine in the bathroom, and the medicine's effect of cooling down quickly worked. It cooled down the swelling and euthermic parts, so Meredith was feeling better.

Meredith also noticed that there was a line on it saying that this medicine could be used by pregnant women, and she suddenly felt a little warmer in her heart.

Derek seemed to be less hostile to the child. Meredith was a little distracted and couldn't help but reach out and touch her slightly bulging belly.

"It looks like dad doesn't hate you."

Meredith thought with a faint sweetness in her heart.

Derek's concern over the past few days made her feel the urge to let go of all her concerns and boldly tell him the secret.

Just as she was thinking about it, Meredith put her hand on the doorknob. When she was about to open the door, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from outside.

Meredith quickly withdrew her hand and the smile on her face faded a little. She didn't know which woman was coming.

Was it not good for her to go out now?

As she thought about it, her hand stopped moving. Meredith leaned closer to the door and listened to what was happening outside.

The person who came was not some young women that Meredith thought of, but Derek's mother, Violet.

During Derek's stay in the hospital, she basically visited him every few days.

Derek did not expect her to come, so he put the things in his hands aside and nodded slightly. "Derek, how are you feeling now?”

Violet looked at Derek, and her heart was filled with emotions.

The car accident scared her out of her wits. If anything happened to Derek again, how would she live?

"I feel good. I think I can be discharged from the hospital.”

Derek understood her concerns, but she should be relieved since he had already cooperated with her and had done countless tests.

"Stay for a few more days." Violet persuaded him. Soon, something came to her mind. "Why didn't I see Chloe today?"

These days, Chloe had been taking care of Derek in the ward, and she basically saw Chloe every time she came.

Although Chloe might not have much experience in taking care of others, at least she was considerate.

Violet was satisfied with that.

"I told her not to come again.”

Derek frowned. He could tell that his mother was trying to make a match between the two of them. "The girl did that for your good and you just rejected it so stiffly?" Violet kept shaking her head, not knowing whether her son was smart or stupid.

"After all, Chloe is also a rich young lady. It's normal if she is not good at taking care of someone. You can't be too impatient. She's already very sincere since she was willing to swallow her pride and take care of you. You don't want to woo her back after driving her away and venting your bad emotions, do you?"

Violet tried her best to persuade him. Derek's accident made her feel that her son really needed a woman to take care of him.

A man was always relatively impulsive before he got married. It would be much better if there was a woman who kept reminding him.

In this way, she did not have to be afraid every day. Chloe came from a good family that was famous both at home and abroad. Marrying her would not only improve the strength of the Xaviers but also would improve the reputation of the Xaviers. She was a very suitable candidate and Violet had been trying to make a match between the two of them.

"It has nothing to do with this. I just... It's impossible between me and her."

Derek didn't know what to say. Especially when he saw his mother's expectant eyes, he was unable to bear to say those words.

"You are too stubborn. You still hold a grudge for what happened back then? I don't care about that much anyway. You should seize the opportunity. The daughter-in-law of our the Xaviers must be Chloe."

Violet only thought that Derek was bothering about what happened back then, and she didn't care about what happened, so she just said what she thought directly.

Derek didn't want to argue with her about this either. After a few words, Violet was invited to an opening ceremony and she left.

After Meredith heard everything they said in the bathroom, her itch to try to say those things to Derek was shattered.

Violet's forcefully articulated words echoed in her mind.

"The daughter-in-law of the Xaviers shall be Chloe.”

It seemed that the Xaviers was really satisfied with Chloe since she could make Violet, who had always been looking down upon others, praise her repeatedly.
