"Aunt Violet, leave this matter to me. Don't worry. I'll make sure Derek take his medicine and take care Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
of himself."
Then Evelyn took the medicine and left.
...
It was in a hospital.
After Meredith called Evelyn, she went to the bathroom to wash up and saw herself in the mirror with
big dark circles under her eyes.
Yesterday night, she was tossing and turning, and it was almost the second half of the night when she
fell asleep in a daze.
With a bitter smile, Meredith found the concealer and covered her dark circles. Otherwise, her mother
would notice it.
Meredith went to see Amelia. Amelia was in stable condition. And it looked as if the coma that scared
Meredith to death was just an accident.
But Meredith knew that she couldn't drag it on any longer.
The more Meredith thought about it, the more worried she became. But she also knew that it was
useless to rush into this matter herself. She had to consider Evelyn's thoughts.
Meredith sighed and went back to wake Easton up. Yesterday, because Meredith didn't come home,
she told him to stay in the hospital for the night.
After thinking about it, Easton still had to go back to school. It wouldn't be good for him to grow up if he
didn't meet his peers at school all day.
"Easton, get up."
Meredith gently shook his body. Easton opened his eyes and yawned.
Meredith looked at his little face. "Easton, mom will take you home later. You take a bath and I'll take
you back to school."
School?
Easton didn't want to go to school, but when he saw Meredith's tired face and knew that grandma was
sick and that bad woman Evelyn was making trouble everywhere, he felt very upset and so he didn't
say anything against it.
However, he could not help but whisper, "Mom, I will go back to school obediently. Can you stop being
angry with dad? I think he didn't mean to do it. If not, you can make him kneel on durian. Don't leave
him."
Hearing Easton's words, Meredith felt a little sad. Sure enough, every child, no matter what, did not
want their parents to separate.
But...
The adult world was very complicated. Even if Easton was smart, he might not fully understand it.
"Easton, I am not the only one to decide that, but even if mom and dad are divorced, you'll still be our
favorite baby in the future, okay?"
"But I don't want you to get divorced."
Easton felt that something had quietly changed, but he was powerless to change it.
"Let's not talk about this. After school I will take you to buy new toys. What do you want?"
Meredith stiffly changed the subject, and Easton did not ask about it anymore. He just lowered his head
and looked like he was not in the mood.
Meredith sent Easton home. The house was clean and tidy thanks to the housekeeper, but it didn't look
like a cozy home.
Meredith asked Easton to take a shower and put on a clean school uniform before sending him to
school.
After sending Easton away, Meredith went to the hospital where Penelope was.
On the way, Meredith couldn't help but laugh at herself. She couldn't do anything else in a whole day
except from going to the hospital.
If possible, she really hoped that everyone around her was healthy, without any physical problems.
When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Damian in the corridor talking to a doctor.
Meredith walked over and looked at Damian's face. Now he looked much more haggard than usual. He
probably hadn't slept well for several days in a row, taking care of the sick.
"How's it going?"
Damian shook his head.
The surgery was over, and Penelope was awake, but... She still didn't regained her vision.
Professor Lee said that all the blood clots in Penelope's brain had been removed. The reason why she
could not see was unclear. After all, the current technology was not so advanced that doctors could not
completely decipher the mystery of the human body.
But Professor Lee said that she could not undergo any surgery now. She had to wait. Maybe one day
she would be suddenly able to see, but maybe the day would never come.
After Meredith heard this, she felt sorrowful.
She thought she would get a good result soon, but now... It was a fruitless result.
Who knew what the future would hold?
"What are you going to do?"
Meredith looked at Damian, and now he was taking care of Penelope. The two of them were still
boyfriend and girlfriend. Naturally, his opinion was very important.
"When she's almost fully recovered, I'll take her out of the hospital. It's not a good idea to stay here any
longer. Maybe we should prepare for the worst."
Damian shook his head helplessly. After Penelope woke up, she was in a bad mood and didn't show
her emotions for everyone was there.
However, Damian could tell that it was a big blow to her. He thought that maybe a different environment
would be better for her. She always stayed in a closed environment like the hospital. Even a normal
person might be depressed.
Hearing Damian's arrangement, Meredith breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he really wanted to
take good care of Penelope.
"Damian, there's something I want to ask you for Penelope. She's in a situation. I appreciate your
willingness to take care of her personally, but what are you going to do with your family?"
The last time Penelope called, she was very uneasy. This matter must have troubled her. But with her
strong character, maybe she wouldn't say it. Meredith decided to ask this question for her.
If Damian could not insist on taking care of her because of the opposition of his family, perhaps it would
be better for him to leave early.
After all, a quick decision would save people from long-term pain. She didn't want to wait for Penelope
to fall in love with Damian and be hurt by it later.
Penelope had been through a lot of hardships in the prime of her life.
Damian hesitated for a moment as if not expecting Meredith to ask these questions. He looked at her.
"Did she mention anything?"
"The last time you called your mother, she heard it and told me about it. Because she didn't know what
your family members were thinking, she was always very upset, so I hope you give it a think.
In the future, you may have a lot of trouble together. If you can't hold on, then don't give her hope.
Otherwise, it is too cruel when you leave after she gets completely dependent on you. I'm afraid she
won't be able to bear it. "
Meredith said it word by word. Damian was silent for a moment. No wonder Penelope was so
depressed these days. It was because he didn't introduce her to his family?
Damian was silent. His father died early when he was a child, and his mother raised him. His mother
was straight-tempered and would not approve of their marriage when Penelope was in this situation.
Damian had planned to wait until she recovered before telling his family about it...
But now...
