The Good Girl's Revenge

"Mr. Xavier, what's wrong?"

The organizer of the meeting saw that Derek's face darkened, so he quickly went forward to ask. Derek had got rid of his earlier emotions and realized that he had lost his composure. He forced a smile. "Nothing. It's just that something came to mind.”

Seeing that Derek was fine, the man left wisely. Derek's eyes darkened and he was so upset that he even wanted to leave this damn venue.

In the hospital.

Meredith sat and talked with Amelia while watching Nolan work through the treatment, during which Meredith functioned as a helper. However, Meredith was obviously absent-minded today. "Mer? Mer?" Amelia watched as Nolan walked out while Meredith still stared straight ahead without any reaction. So Amelia couldn't help shaking her head.

What was wrong with this child? She had been here all morning, but her mind had long been lost. "Ah?" When Meredith heard the voice, she suddenly came to her senses and smiled apologetically at Nolan. After all, he was the professional who was arranged by Derek, so he could not be neglected no matter what.

Meredith stood up and see him out.

Nolan glanced at Meredith. “Miss Mason, I have something to tell you."

Meredith thought it had something to do with her mother's illness. So she nodded and followed him, but she did not notice that the man's eyes became sharper the moment he turned around. "You seem to be a little absent-minded today. Why? Is there anything wrong?"

When the two of them arrived at the rooftop, there were very few people passing by, so it was very quiet and suitable for a private conversation.

".." Meredith didn't expect Nolan to ask this. The man in front of her was usually not interested in other people's privacy. Instead, he only concentrated on his job duty.

"Nothing, I just...” Although Meredith and Nolan knew each other, they were never intimate enough to confess their own affairs.

Seeing Meredith lower her head, Nolan scrutinized her. It didn't seem like the look when a doctor was looking at a patient's family member. Instead, it seemed that he was some kind of superior figure, looking down at the ant on the ground.

Meredith thought for a moment and looked up. "It's just a personal matter.”

When Meredith sensed that Nolan kept on looking her that way, she found it weird and was stunned for a moment, and her heart beat wildly.

The foreboding of seeing Nolan for the first time surfaced again.

The next moment, however, Nolan smiled at her. "That's good. I thought you were in trouble. If you encounter any problems, you can tell me. After all... I'm here to help you.”

Nolan's voice was still gentle and elegant and he looked innocent. Meredith started to feel that her suspicion just now might be wrong.

After all, after Nolan came here, her mother's condition had improved a lot. What was more, he was also a professional specially invited by Derek. She seemed not to have any unnecessary doubts about such a person.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.”

"Really? It's fine."

Seeing that Meredith was not suspicious, Nolan loosened his slightly clenched fingers.

"In that case, I'll go back first. I can't leave my mother alone.”

Meredith thought about it and left.

Nolan didn't say anything more. He just looked at her back and couldn't help shaking his head.

He didn't expect this woman to be as stupid as he thought. Just now, she seemed to have some doubts about him. Fortunately, she didn't keep suspecting.

Nolan thought, pulled his tie and was about to leave when a nurse came over. "Mr. Leslie? Is Miss Mason here?"

The nurse had a report in her hand. She had just gone to the ward to look for Meredith, but she didn't find her. Therefore, she asked someone and got here.

Nolan was about to shake his head, but his eyes fell on the report. Then his face suddenly darkened. "She went to the bathroom. I'm waiting for her here. What do you want to see her for?"

The nurse looked at Nolan's handsome and elegant face. Although doctor Leslie was not from this hospital, he attracted a lot of attention every time he appeared.

After all, such an outstanding, good-looking male doctor was the prince charming in the hearts of nurses, much more attractive than those ordinary male doctors in their hospital.

"I..." The nurse blushed. "This document must be given to her. I'll look for her again.”

Nolan was even more curious after hearing what the nurse said. If he was not mistaken, it was probably a DNA test report.

If it was Meredith's, it should have something to do with the child in her womb, which he was also curious about.

"I know you're quite busy right now. Why don't you give it to me? I'll give it to her."

"Or do you not believe in my professional ethics?"

The nurse wanted to say no, but Nolan suddenly moved closer. Looking at the pretty face, she felt a little embarrassed and couldn't care less. "Then I'll trouble doctor Leslie."

After getting the document, Nolan watched the shy young nurse walk away, and then a wry smile appeared on his face. He opened the report, but the curve of his mouth froze on his face...

Back in bed, Amelia stared at Meredith. "Mer, are you in trouble? Is there something you can't tell mom?"

Meredith shook her head. She was confused about Derek, but she couldn't let her mother know. Recently, her mother had been thinking about meeting Derek. As a mother, she naturally wanted to find out if he was sincere about her daughter.

But now...

At the thought of Derek's uncertain attitude, Meredith did not dare to let him come over, let alone let her mother down.

"I'm fine, but I'm a little tired.”

Meredith shook her head, not wanting to say anything.

Amelia asked a few more questions, but Meredith still refused to reply. In the end, Amelia could only sigh, “I'm useless. I can’t help you.”

Hearing her mother say that, Meredith's heart ached. "No, it's just...”

Meredith hesitated. Seeing that her daughter was in a difficult position, Amelia shook her head and said, "Forget it, Mer. Since you don't want to say it, I'll wait until you're ready. Just remember, mom will always be your backup. If anyone dares to bully my daughter, I will fight him to the end even if I put my life on the line!"

Meredith smiled, and she was deeply moved. It was really good to have her mother by her side. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't have to fight for me because there are no such terrible things happening.”

Just as she was comforting Amelia with her words, Nolan walked in. "Meredith, here's something for you."
