Chapter 432
He swore that he would not let go of everyone who had hurt Meredith. These people must pay the price for hurting Meredith.
Inside the apartment.
Derek put Meredith on the bed and looked at the doctor beside him, "Hurry, check her out.”
The doctor carefully stepped forward and looked at Meredith's face. He felt her pulse and gently pushed her eyelids up.
All of a sudden, the situation of her eyes made Derek's breath unstable.
Her clear eyes were full of dense red lines. Not only were her whites, but also upper and lower eyelids. Her eyes looked like blood eyes and were very terrifying.
Knowing what Meredith had suffered, Derek was mentally prepared, but even so, he could not suppress his anger.
He clenched his fists, "And her eardrums, please.”
The doctor nodded. Her ears were indeed damaged, and he had already noticed it when he felt her pulse.
After a while, the doctor stopped and looked serious.
"Young Master, this young lady's eyes should have been exposed to the strong light for a long time, so there are a lot of red lines. Fortunately, the exposure time is not long enough to cause any danger.”
"The degree of damage to the eardrums are similar, but the excessive explosive sound will damage the brain nerves.”
"Her eyes need to be applied with medicine. As for her damaged eardrums and nerves, she needs to take medicine to recuperate. In general, she is out of danger now. If she follows my instruction, she will heal after a period of time."
"The only trouble is that after this young lady wakes up, she may have symptoms of blindness and tinnitus, but don't worry, these are temporary”
"Take good care of her, and in about two weeks, she will basically recover.”
Derek heaved a sigh of relief, but his face was still very gloomy. He sent the doctor away.
He stood by the bed and stared at Meredith for a while.
Derek carried her to the bathroom, gently bathed her, helped her change into clean and comfortable pajamas, and put her back on the bed.
The doctor said that it would be better for Meredith's eyes not to be exposed to the light source, not even a bit.
He took the ointment from the side, squeezed out the transparent ointment, applied it evenly on the gauze, and gently fixed it over Meredith's eyes.
After doing all this, he sat next to Meredith and watched her closely.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that Meredith woke up.
"Meredith, are you awake?" Derek immediately sat up.
She didn't say anything and subconsciously wanted to open her eyes, but suddenly she felt a sharp pain. She raised her hand and only touched the gauze.
Derek took off her hand and said gently, "Your eyes are hurt. You need to rest. I put some ointment on you. You can't open your eyes for a while.”
Unfortunately, Meredith could only feel someone talking in her ear, but she could not hear what the person was saying.
She opened her mouth, but just as she made a sound, she coughed a few times. The next second, she was gently helped up. She was leaning against a warm and strong chest, and a cup of warm water was fed to her mouth.
If it weren't for the familiar smell and the fact that Derek was beside her, she would have been uneasy since she couldn't see or hear anything.
After drinking water, her throat was moistened and she felt much better.
"You, what did you just say? I can't hear you..."
Derek was stunned and suddenly remembered that Meredith not only had her eyes hurt but also her ears. The doctor said that she would have tinnitus.
He felt a pain in his heart, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, gently hugged Meredith, spread her hand out, and in her palm slowly wrote out the words.
Meredith was silent.
She remembered that she had been locked up in the interrogation room. It seemed that Derek had rushed back to get her out. As for her eyes and ears, it was normal to get hurt in that situation. But...
"My eyes and ears..."
She was not sure if her injuries were serious or not. What she feared most was that they might not recover anymore. No matter it was her eyes or ears damaged, that would be fatal.
Before Meredith could finish her sentence, Derek immediately knew what she wanted to ask and immediately wrote in her palm, "Don't worry. The doctor has checked. It's not a big deal. You just need to take medicine and apply ointment. They can be cured in about ten days.”
Meredith was relieved.
"I'll be at home with you during this period of time."
Meredith pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. Her symptom would take at least ten days to recover, so long.
After a moment of hesitation, her hand was picked up and placed in Derek's heart.
He wrote in the palm of her hand, "Your accident has been hurting my heart, so don't refuse me, okay?"
Meredith continued to be silent, and she could not say no at all. She did not mean to reject Derek's approach but was worried about his work.
Fortunately, after Derek took care of Meredith at home for three days, Meredith's tinnitus finally disappeared.
It was just that her eardrums didn't fully recover, but she could hear people speak clearly. But for the time being, she couldn't bear a loud voice.
After Meredith could hear the sound of the outside world, the uncertainty in her heart immediately dissipated. She was relieved and began to chase Derek away.
His work in Xavier Group was so busy, and it was inconvenient for him to stay at home all the time. Since she could hear others, she did not need to be accompanied at all times.
Derek had no choice but to bring their son over, and with Easton around, Meredith was in a much better mood.
Easton's arrival meant that the five bodyguards who protected him would follow him over. At least Derek could rest assured in terms of security problems. He also asked a servant from his grandfather to take care of Meredith.
Derek had his own plans. He decided to reorganize the company while Meredith was recuperating. Some things needed to be settled.
The investigation for what happened to Meredith at the company this time, the so-called theft incident, was very fast and easy. Once Derek's men took action, very quickly, the suspects immediately were found out.
Derek looked at the list on the table and finally, his eyes landed on a name. He closed his eyes and reopened them soon. His eyes were very cold.
"Here is my order..."
Soon, a clarification message on the top of the official website caused quite a stir in the entire Xavier Group's headquarter.
This piece of news was published personally by Derek.
It clearly stated that the so-called case of stealing design manuscripts that happened in the Team B of the Design Department a few days ago was fake news.
