The Good Girl's Revenge

For the first time, Meredith had been treated so coldly by him, and this pain was killing her.

Did he, too, believe that she had pushed Caroline, and that was why he didn't want to look at her? Meredith's heart was overwhelmed with unprecedented agony as if she had relived what happened five years ago.

"Derek, I didn't push her.”

In the end, she couldn't help but say it, but there was no response from him. Meredith slowly closed her eyes.

They arrived at the hospital soon, and Derek ran in with Caroline in his arms. The doctors and nurses who had already been in contact were waiting downstairs. He was relieved when he handed Caroline over.

While Caroline was in surgery, Derek and Meredith waited outside.

Derek went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up. After he came out, he sat next to Meredith and looked at her. He said slowly, "Meredith, what happened tonight? You must tell me in detail.” Meredith looked at his serious eyes expressionlessly and couldn't help but sneer. She did not have any hopes.

"Don't you already believe that I pushed her downstairs? Then why bother to ask?"

Derek was stunned and looked at her with confusion. He had to know the details of the matter to deal with it.

He did not understand why Meredith suddenly became so grumpy. Was she frightened?

At the thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He brought her here himself, but in the end, something like this happened under his nose. In fact, he was also responsible.

"Meredith, be good. Don't be willful at this time. Tell me the details.”

"You know, so many people there think that you pushed Caroline, so Caroline had to be safe at this time. If something really happens, it will also affect your career. I don't think you would like to see it."

Now Meredith was stunned. She looked at him in a daze and whispered, "Are... Are you doing this for me?"

Derek looked at the woman who seemed to have lost her soul and couldn't help but rub her head, "Of course I'm doing this for you. Who else could I do it for?"

"Meredith, what's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind? Are you frightened by what happened tonight?"

He gently took her into his arms, caressed her shoulder, and said softly, "I'm here. Don't be afraid. As for Caroline, I believe it had nothing to do with you that she fell down the stairs.”

"In other words, even if it really has something to do with you, it's definitely because of what she did. That's what she deserved. You don't have to blame yourself.”

As soon as these words came out, the familiar and domineering Derek, who would always protect her, came back. Meredith leaned into his arms and couldn't help but close her eyes.

Knowing that she had misunderstood him, Meredith felt a little embarrassed and thought that she had lost her mind just now.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and slowly recounted what happened tonight. Derek listened quietly. When he heard what Caroline said to Meredith, a chilling light flashed in his eyes. He understood everything.

Sure enough, he thought there was something fishy going on tonight, and the source was really that woman Caroline.

Caroline's series of action tonight was full of loopholes. Even though he didn't witness it, he had every reason to infer that the woman might have fallen down on her own.

He could not help but think of Caroline's wound. She fell from such a high staircase, causing such a serious head injury and massive loss of blood. It was too real. Who would have thought that she would deliberately hurt herself like this?

It was also a little too shocking. A woman who could be so cruel to herself was the granddaughter of Old Master's old friend. It was really troublesome.

Derek's face was a little gloomy, but his voice to Meredith was still gentle, "I see. I'll handle this. It's very late now. I'll ask the driver to send you back to rest."

Meredith shook her head, "I'm fine. I want to wait and see how her wound is."

No matter what, Caroline fell right under her nose. She couldn't sleep without hearing the truth.

It took more than an hour. After the operation was over, the doctor came out and told them that the patient had just lost too much blood and her life was not in danger. The operation was successful and the two of them went home.

The next day, Derek came to the hospital again, accompanied by Violet and Mr. Xavier.

This was the second time that the Xaviers had visited this Caroline in the hospital. The woman could really make a fuss.

"Caroline, I asked the kitchen to make you some tonic soup. Drink it when it's not too hot. You'll have to take a good rest after losing so much blood this time.” Violet looked at her with pity. Caroline nodded obediently, "I see. Thank you, auntie.”

When Mr. Xavier saw that she was fine, he focused on another thing, "Caroline, you're lucky to be fine this time. Tell me what happened that day.”

Violet immediately put on a long face, "What else? It's so obvious. She was pushed down. If Derek hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have spared that woman.”

Mr. Xavier and Derek's faces darkened.

Seeing this, Caroline immediately put down the soup and said, "Auntie, no, you misunderstood, actually... That night, I was standing at the stairs, not pushed by Miss Mason... I fell down by accident.”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Derek cautiously.

Derek was expressionless. She could not read him.

Derek was not surprised at what she said. If she was a smart person, she would tell the truth. After all, if they really looked into this matter, the story where she was pushed down could not stand Violet's face froze. She did not expect Caroline to say that. She could not help but frown, "Caroline, do you remember wrong? You're a grown-up. How could you fall down the stairs? There were only you two at that time. It was she who pushed you, right?”

"Enough."

Mr. Xavier looked at his grandson's increasingly sullen face and couldn't help but scold her, "What are you talking about? Caroline said that Meredith didn't push him."

"She already said that. But you, the mistress of the Xaviers, draw conclusions based on your preference and supposition. Are you going to bring shame on the Xaviers?"

"Violet, all these years, you have become more and more ridiculous.”

After all, Violet was afraid of Mr. Xavier. Her heart tightened and she did not dare to say anything more, but her anger at Meredith was even more intense.

She believed that Meredith was the one who caused her to lose face so many times. She was a seductress and a scourge.

After sitting for a while, Mr. Xavier forcibly took Violet away, while Derek who had been silent stayed.
