Chapter 197
After they waited for some time, the lights in the emergency room dimmed and Violet, who was
unconscious, was pushed out.
Derek wanted to go up to check on her condition, but was beaten aside by the Old Master with a
crutch. "Are you trying to piss her off when she sees you?"
Derek was silent, and then the Old Master looked at him. "Before you get rid of Meredith completely,
your mother doesn't need your care. This time, I'll keep an eye on you."
The Old Master was heartbroken. Seeing how weak his daughter-in-law was now, he was very angry.
Meredith was just an insignificant woman. How could she get his daughter-in-law and grandson into
this bad situation?
"This time, I'll send someone to find out where Meredith is. Don't try to get through this again!"
After the Old Master finished speaking, he followed the doctor into the ward.
Derek's heart ached as he watched the bed being pushed away.
Ever since he was a child after his father had passed away early, his mother was by his side. It was
really difficult for her to raise a child alone in a wealthy family while some greedy relatives were eyeing
their share of furtune.
Derek grabbed the doorknob with guilt and pain.
Seeing him like this, the butler came over and said, "Young master, this matter is really your fault.
Madam has been making great sacrifices for you all these years. The doctor just said that she can't be
angered. If she suffers it again..."
The butler's words shocked Derek's heart.
He looked at his mother lying on the hospital bed, his eyes dimmed, and his voice was as low and
lonely as ever. "I see."
How could he choose in the face of his mother's life and death?
Derek left the hospital, went to the company, and took out the information that Leo had given him a few
days ago.
After Leo was caught out by him, he provided a lot of clues intermittently. Now, he had found out the
whereabouts of Meredith's mother.
Perhaps it was really time to end it. At least, Meredith had to be sent out of here first.
...
Meredith was bored in the villa. Now, she had no idea of running away, so she could only stay here and
do nothing.
Just as she was staring at the tv, the sound of the car engine came from downstairs. Meredith walked
over to see that Derek's car was parked outside.
Meredith looked at the time and wondered why Derek came here at this time. Although he had come
here quite a few times during this time, he rarely showed up at his working hours. After all, Derek was
very serious about his work.
Meredith suddenly had an ominous feeling in her heart. She held her breath. Soon, Derek went
upstairs, opened the door, and walked in.
Meredith looked at him and did not speak. Derek looked at her with a complicated look that she could
not understand.
What was wrong with him? Meredith had never seen Derek like this. His eyes were filled with sorrow
and pain that she could not understand. It made her feel suffocated.
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a moment before Derek said in a hoarse voice,
"Meredith, your mother has been found."
Meredith's eyes widened in an instant. "Mom? You have found her?"
This news completely made her unable to calm down, and her eyes became watery for a moment. She
had not seen her mother for more than three years, and although she had not given up searching for
her whereabouts, this process of finding her was torture enough.
"Where is she? I'm going to see her!"
Meredith immediately stood up and, ignoring everything else, forgot about the conflicts with Derek and
grabbed his clothes. "Is she okay now?"
Derek looked at Meredith's rarely bright eyes. Since she was locked here, he had rarely seen her
beautiful eyes so bright and moving. Derek took a deep breath and said, "Change your clothes. I'll take
you to meet her."
This might be the last thing he did for Meredith.
Violet's illness suddenly made him lose the confidence to continue fighting the Xaviers. He couldn't hurt
his mother for his own selfish desires.
And Meredith... Perhaps, she would be happier than being forced to stay by his side, which might be a
good choice for everyone.
When Meredith heard this, she was not suspicious at all. She was so excited that she could not think
about the strangeness of it. She immediately changed into a suit for going out and followed Derek out
of here.
Derek took one last look at this place, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.
...
Under Derek's arrangement, Meredith's visa was quickly issued. Because she was pregnant, Derek
specially used a private plane to send her there.
Meredith felt something was wrong, but looking at Derek's tired expression, she did not dare to ask.
She didn't know why this man suddenly changed his mind, stopped threatening her by taking
advantage of her mother, and sent her over to find her mother. However, this was what she had wanted
for so long, and she didn't want to lose this opportunity.
However, although it was a privatel plane arranged by Derek and the speed of flight was slower than
the ordinary plane, Meredith still had some physical discomfort.
Derek was originally resting with his eyes closed. Sensing that Meredith sitting next to him did not
seem to be quiet and sleep quietly with her blindfold on, he opened his eyes to check what had
happened.
Only then did he realize that Meredith's face was pale, and it was covered with sweat dripping down,
looking extremely pitiful.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with your body?"
Derek held her hand and felt that it was cold. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Meredith shook her head. "I'm fine."
Derek's hands were warm, and she could feel his body temperature coming from where the two of
them were holding each other, and the warmth made her feel as if she had gone back to the past.
Derek had held her hand a long time ago, giving her warmth and strength. She had not felt the warmth
for a long time.
"Why are you trying to hide your discomfort?" Derek looked at Meredith's bulging abdomen. In fact,
pregnant women shouldn't be on the plane, but... Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The situation was special, and he could only do so.
If he didn't send her out of J City as soon as possible, if the Old Master did it himself, she would be
even more miserable than she was now.
Thinking of this, the man stopped hating the baby in her stomach. "Would you blame me for letting you
go abroad with a baby?"
"No, I am willing to go. I'm looking for mom."
Meredith felt that there was something wrong with Derek now. It was as if he had changed back into the
man who used to care for her tenderly overnight. There was no estrangement, no tension between
them.
This change came inexplicably, but Meredith didn't want to stop it.
Derek called the medical staff on the plane to give Meredith some treatment. Then, he took her into his
arms and smelled the faint fragrance on her body.
