Chapter 460
"Really?"
Caroline was stunned for a second and looked at him doubtfully. But she subconsciously loosened her hand which held the handrail: "I don't have to jump, right?"
Easton raised his innocent smiling face and nodded, "Yes, Auntie Caroline. You have been like this, so I can't force you to do it. Well, come down."
She was like a frightened bird now. When she heard that she didn't need to jump and that she could come down, she immediately let go of her hand and prepared to come down from the platform in a hurry.
But the next second.
"Ah..."
A figure flew out from the high platform. At the same time, a shrill cry pierced the sky. There was no doubt that it was Caroline who flew out.
The little guy slowly retracted his little foot that kicked her, wiped off a non-existent sweat, and shook his head, "If she had jumped earlier by herself, nothing would have happened. But she had to let me do it. Ah."
Adam and Andy: ".."
Staff: *..."
"Okay, it's our turn.”
Easton said as he stretched out his hands towards Adam, who immediately hugged Easton's small body tightly in his arms, and then jumped down without expression.
Adam held the little boy in his arms, Easton's eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep. He was so well- protected that the wind didn't even let in much. His treatment was very different from that of Caroline.
As they dropped, Easton landed safely on the boat. As soon as he looked up, he saw Caroline, who had a pale face, lifeless eyes, and a stiff and trembling body.
He tilted his little head to admire her look for a while, his pink lips lifted. With a snort, he looked away. There was no sympathy in his heart, only gloating.
The boat docked, and Caroline was supported by Andy. The little guy gave him a look. Andy understood and helped her to a round flower bed in the front.
"Miss Baker, you don't look well. Sit here and have a rest.”
Caroline was still in shock and could not stand up. She nodded and sat quietly on the stone steps, calming her own beating heart.
On this side, the little guy turned around and stretched himself. He made a gesture in one direction with his right hand inadvertently. The person who saw the gesture in the dark immediately began to adjust the remote control in his hand.
The place where Caroline was sitting was actually a round fountain. It only openned during the holidays. If people didn't pay attention, they wouldn't notice it.
She sat in the middle of the flower bed. There was a huge stone lion in the middle of the flower bed. The lion's mouth was wide open downward, just in the direction where Caroline was sitting.
At this moment, the two eyes of the stone lion flashed a few red lights, as if something had started. The next second.
"Clatter..."
The stone lion's mouth suddenly burst out a waterfall of water, pouring down. Caroline, who was sitting below, was drenched in cold water.
You know, it was winter now.
Caroline had not fully recovered from the shock of bungee jumping before, and now there was such a sudden attack. So she was hit forward by the water in a very awkward position and fell on the ground.
She lay motionless on her stomach, stunned.
"Hahaha..."
In the distance, Easton covered his small mouth and couldn't help laughing. Finally, his anger was vented.
When the stone lion was not spraying water, he waved his hand and asked Andy to take her with him. Today's journey ended finally.
Caroline was frightened and drenched so heavily that a serious illness was unavoidable.
When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that since she lived in the Xaviers, there had been a lot of disasters and small troubles. It was as if the Xaviers was unsuitable for her to live.
It was winter, so the Xavier Group needed to design a few exquisite winter clothes, and then sent representatives to bring them to the BLSZ in F Country for exhibition.
This task, of course, was assigned to the Design A Department of the headquarters.
There were five pieces of winter clothing need designing. Derek directly assigned one to Meredith, so that she could complete it alone.
Ever since the incident with Arya last time, no one would retort the various privileges given to Meredith from time to time.
It was no laughing matter. If people wanted to be blacklisted by the president, they could retort. No one wanted to die early.
Since Caroline's incident last time, Derek planned to take Meredith out for a stroll to improve her mood. This exhibition was just a good opportunity.
Besides them, there were a group of bodyguards, Damian and the little third wheel who insisited on following them, Easton, accompanying them.
Xavier Group had a branch in F Country, and Derek had his own manor here. In addition, they would be staying in F Country for more than ten days, so the group settled directly in the manor.
At this time, Damian took a phone call. After he hung up, he immediately turned to Derek's side and whispered, "Boss..."
After listening to his brief report, Derek frowned and subconsciously glanced at Meredith.
"I see. You can go out.”
He walked over to the sofa and pondered for a few seconds, "Meredith, there's something I haven't told you.”
"What is it?" Meredith was stunned for a second and asked.
"About your mother..."
Meredith was startled and stood up suddenly with a look of excitement, “You, you say, my mother?" She was at a loss. Since she regained her memory, she had naturally inquired about her mother's whereabouts, but could not find her.
She had thought of asking Derek for help, but at that time, the relationship between them was complicated like a tangled ball of thread
At that time, she was very repulsive to Derek. She wanted to draw a line with him, not wanting to owe him anything, so she dismissed the idea and decided to find her mother on her own.
But she didn't get any result, and then a series of events put it on hold.
"You know where my mother is?" She grabbed his hand.
Derek sighed, "Listen to me first.”
"Your mother has a very intractable disease. There is no precedent for this disease at home. I arranged for her to come to F Country for treatment.”
"At that time, I always thought you would never come back. Although we met again later, I never found the right opportunity to tell you about it. In addition, your mother's condition is not very good. I was afraid you would be worried, so I didn't mention it to you.”
"I'm going to tell you when your mother gets better.”
"But just now, the hospital called me and said that the cancer cells in your mother's body were spreading again and that she needed surgery immediately, so..."
Before Meredith could digest the bad news that her mother had cancer, she was frightened by Derek's last words.
She tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart. It was clear to her that she could not blame Derek for keeping it from her.
