The Good Girl's Revenge

After Derek finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.

Hearing the harsh slap, Meredith's body shivered a little. She never thought that she had mustered up the courage to tell the truth but only to get such a result...

She called Nova again, but Nova didn't answer the phone at all. It was as if Nova was afraid of spilling the beans. In the end, Nova even turned off her phone.

Meredith had no choice but to call the MS Hotel, and the answer was that outsiders could not watch the security feeds. Moreover, security feeds were erased every three months. Even if Meredith kept looking for it day and night, it was impossible to find the deleted video in the huge number of videos and restore it.

After making these calls, Meredith felt as if her body was being drained of strength. It turned out that there were some things that you could not prove even if you wanted to.

At this moment, Meredith felt the baby in her stomach kick her. Now that the baby was five months old, how could she accept that she would be separated from the child?

Was there no other way?

Meredith looked at the ceiling in confusion and felt extremely tired.

She really didn't know what to do.

When Derek left Meredith's house, he also had surging anger in his heart. When he thought of the child in her belly, he only felt that the intimacy of recent days between them was as fragile as an illusion.

If Meredith still kept that child, he would feel uncomfortable and threatened.

Thinking about it, the man was not in the mood to go to the company. He also had an unpleasant time in the Xaviers, so he just simply went to Jameson's place.

Derek didn't know what Jameson was doing lately since Jameson hadn't contacted him for a long time.

When Jameson received Derek's call, he was listening to music in the bar. The beautiful female singer on the stage winked at him and exchanged amorous glances with him. Jameson was about to have a romantic encounter when he was interrupted by the ringtone.

However, when he saw it was Derek, he still picked it up, but there was a hint of blame in his tone. "It's fine if you don't call me normally. But when you call me, you always ruin my good time. What's going on?"

Jameson's flirtatious tone eased Derek's boredom. "You're at the bar?"

Jameson told him about the location. This was a famous music bar in J City. It was usually quiet, so it was good for one to come out and relax here.

“I'm on my way."

Derek glanced at the address and drove to the bar.

He no longer wanted to get tangled up in the things that upset him. Perhaps, getting drunk was a good choice to resolve all his negative feelings.

Jameson was shocked. Derek was not the type of person who would come out in daylight to have fun. If he wanted to come, there must be something that bothered him.

After thinking about it, Jameson could only reject the invitation of the folk singer and continue to sit and wait.

Not long after, Derek arrived. The moment the man appeared, he attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, a handsome man like him who was tall and as handsome as a star was a rarity here.

However, Derek was not in the mood for a romantic encounter and he coldly rejected the invitations of a few women who came to talk to him. After sitting next to Jameson, he glanced at the cocktail on the table and raised the corner of his mouth. "That's all you drink?"

"Then what else do you want to drink?"

Jameson glanced at him. Derek tapped the table and ordered a few bottles of extremely strong liquor. "Have a try?"

Jameson was stunned. These were all spirits. Even a man like him drank them all, he would lose his mind.

What was wrong with Derek? Was there something wrong with his relationship?

"Before you drink, tell me what happened to you. Looking at you being like this, I'm very scared. The last time you had an accident, I was warned by the Old Master."

Jameson firmly refused to drink with Derek like a fool when he thought of the painful experience of Derek having a little accident last time. At that time, he was dragged over to talk with the Mr. Xavier and being lectured by his own old man.

"Nothing."

Derek didn't say it. It was not that he didn't want to talk about it, but it was always embarrassing to say something like that.

The woman he liked was pregnant with the child of an unknown man. He had to wait for the child to be born and Meredith refused to send the child away.

What was this?

Derek had always been proud. He could not accept this kind of thing and all the normal men would feel the same as him when the same thing happened to them.

"Is it..related to Meredith?"

Jameson asked tentatively, but when the name “Meredith’ was mentioned, Derek's expression changed. He was already expressionless, and when he heard “Meredith’, his expression became even colder.

Jameson touched his nose. It seemed that it was really a matter of relationship. He didn't know what was so special about that woman. Why could she make Derek, a man who remained calm and cold no matter what happened, become so moonstruck over and over again?

Or, was this how it felt to be in love?

"When did you become so fussy and gossipy?" When Derek saw Jameson gossiping like this, he opened his mouth coldly and refused flat.

Seeing that Derek didn't seem to want to say anything, Jameson couldn't keep asking. So he thought embarrassedly for a while, "Hey, stop drinking. I remember something. Chloe is in the hospital and her situation doesn't seem to be very good. By the way, Asher has been looking for you and he asked you to pay a visit to her.”

Jameson was worried that Derek would lose his temper and get himself drunk. He quickly thought of Asher's request to him.

"What happened to her?”

Derek frowned. He didn't expect things to be so serious. Last time, it was said that Chloe had the tendency of having depression. Did her situation get worse in just a few days?

"It was some small psychological problem, not serious. But he couldn't find you, so he asked me to pass on the message.”

With that said, Jameson patted Derek on the shoulder. "Seriously, you and Asher have known each other for so many years. You are good friends. Why are you at loggerheads? You even need me to be the fixer. You two are not primary school students. What kind of things can't you talk about in person?”

Derek was silent for a moment. Indeed, after the fight with Asher that day, the relationship reached an impasse. It seemed that Asher had contacted him, but he had intentionally or unintentionally avoided him.

It was not clear whether it was for Chloe.

"It's a long story. Since you talked about that to me, let's go and have a look."

Derek still cared about these brothers after all. Besides, Chloe was also his friend. If something happened to her, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

Maybe he could help her by finding her a doctor or something like that to avoid feeling guilty again. "That what you shall do. If you have anything in your mind, just say it say to me, I'll settle them for you two."

Jameson saw Derek get rid of the idea of getting drunk. "Shall I drive you there?"

Derek nodded and agreed.

The two of them went straight to the hospital where Asher was.
