The Good Girl's Revenge

Meredith couldn't hear Derek's reply for a long time. He had never done this before. Could it be that something bad really happened?

"Derek, what's wrong with you? Talk to me."

Meredith's anxious voice brought Derek back to his senses. He glanced at the phone with a complicated look but didn't know what to say.

The more Meredith thought about it, the more anxious she became. But now that the two of them were so far apart, she couldn't even see Derek's face. She didn't know what was going on. There was nothing she could do even if she wanted to.

"Forget it. It's okay." Derek spoke after a long time. "You stay there. Don't run around. Don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with."

After that, Derek hung up tiredly and dialed another number. "I will do as you say. Don't let him do it. Also, I have one last request...”

Hearing the beep on the phone, Meredith's heart seemed like sinking into deep water, and an ominous feeling enveloped her, suffocating her.

Derek had never done this before, but she knew nothing if he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Meredith suddenly felt that the distance between them was too far away. She was still the one who couldn't do anything...

A sense of powerlessness made Meredith depressed.

Damian walked in, saw that Meredith's expression was not good, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Have you met anything unhappy?”

After all, Damian had been in contact with Meredith for so long, and he hoped that the two of them would be fine and not make trouble again, although...

Although Meredith would never marry into the Xaviers and become Derek's wife, in the end, his boss's feelings were not fake.

"Do you know what happened to the Xaviers now?"

Meredith looked at Damian with a little more hope in her eyes. He was Derek's most trusted subordinate. He must know more than she did.

Damian's heart skipped a beat when Meredith looked at him. He couldn't help but think, did Meredith already know about Derek's engagement?

Over the past few days, he had carefully concealed this thing. And the servants and the doctors and nurses that Meredith could get in touch with had been asked to keep secret by him.

"What do you want to know?" Damian asked cautiously, not daring to talk nonsense, for fear that it would backfire.

Meredith's uneasiness increased when she saw his expression and tone.

"What exactly happened? What are you hiding from me?"

Damian didn't know what to say either. "Miss Mason, do you believe in him? If you do, just wait for him here."

As an assistant, Damian couldn't give Meredith a satisfactory answer, so he had to answer like this. After Damian finished speaking, he left for the time being. Meredith lowered her head. She really wanted to make herself believe in Derek. However, the feeling of uneasiness did not lessen. Instead, it became more and more intense.

What should she do? Her mother's condition had not improved, and she did not know what had happened to Derek. She was like a boat drifting in the sea, losing its direction

Perhaps, because she was pregnant, she was emotionally unstable. Meredith sat on the chair and couldn't help crying. Tears fell on Amelia's hand and splashed.

Amelia, who had been sleeping, suddenly seemed to have sensed something. Her fingers moved and her blurry consciousness seemed to have returned.

Her daughter... seemed to be in pain..

Over the years, Amelia had been holding her breath to calm herself down, but now, Meredith's pain made her heartache in waves. After struggling a few times, she opened her eyes.

The sudden light made Amelia feel very dazzling, but she quickly looked at Meredith, who was sitting beside the hospital bed with her head down and lost.

"Mer..."

Amelia's lips moved. She had not spoken for a long time, so her voice was completely hoarse, like nails scraped through glass, and even a little harsh.

Meredith stopped crying and looked at Amelia in disbelief. Seeing Amelia open her eyes, she couldn't help but call out to the doctor, "Doctor, come on! My mother is awake!"

The sudden surprise made Meredith's sorrow dissipate a lot.

The doctor immediately brought the medical team in and examined Amelia. Meredith didn't even dare to blink, afraid that if she did, everything would disappear again.

"Congratulations, Miss Mason. Your mother is fully conscious. She will recover soon after the rehabilitation training.”

Hearing this, Meredith's heart finally relaxed. The doctor understood her feelings and left after the examination.

Only then did Meredith sit on the bed and look at her mother's haggard face. "Mom..."

The day that she had waited for so long had finally arrived. The only family in the world, the only person who loved her, had finally returned. Meredith felt that all the suffering she had suffered before was nothing at this moment.

As long as mom was fine, everything would be worth it.

Amelia also looked at Meredith seriously. She was a little more mature than she was then. She was no longer that innocent little girl. Her eyes were a little more calm and peaceful.

"Mer, you've suffered.” Amelia held Meredith's hand, then noticed her bulging belly, and her eyes flashed with surprise. "Mer, are you pregnant?”

What did she miss during her unconscious days?

She didn't even know that her daughter was pregnant. She was such an incompetent mother. "Mmm..." Meredith nodded. Amelia looked at the inpatient ward again. There was no one else. "What about the child's father? When is he coming?"

Amelia was naturally happy to know that her daughter was pregnant. She thought that Meredith had suffered so much and finally found a home. If that person was a good person, then she could trust him and let her daughter marry him.

There was an unnatural look on Meredith's face. "He... He's not here right now..."

When Amelia heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied. "You are pregnant. Does he let you take care of me here alone?"

"He's busy with work."

"He should come here even if he is busy with work. He should have time tonight. Let me see him. I'll take care of it for you."

As soon as Amelia woke up, she immediately worried about Meredith's marriage. It was not a child's play for a woman to marry someone. If Mer was like her who would not be able to recognize people, she would marry a bad man. And marrying a bastard like Wesley would only become another tragedy.

Amelia never wanted Meredith to be deceived again because she had suffered from men.
