The picture was very eye-catching, but Meredith could not appreciate it, only felt it extremely dazzling.

Derek held Chloe's hand. He stood by her bedside and his eyes were as gentle as a deep lake. Meredith had seen him look like this before. She thought that no woman could resist such a look. Moreover, that person was Derek.

Although she didn't know where the photo was taken or why someone sent it to her phone, Meredith didn't think it was important anymore.

There was no need to explain anything about such an intimate gesture. Besides, Chloe was Derek's ex-girlfriend. She was a fixated woman in his heart. After seeing so many of her miserable side, he would miss the past, and it seemed to be no problem.

It turned out that her self-confidence was really just self-assertion. What Chloe said was not wrong at all. Was she the tool Derek used to while away the time or to stimulate their relationship?

Now that Derek was bored, he went back to their noble world and didn't want to look at her again. Meredith didn't want to think about it anymore, but she couldn't control the tears in her eyes. Finally, a few tears came out of her eyes.

Especially when she thought about his expression when she finally told the truth today and was about to go with him to deal with the Xaviers's troubles...

It was like the first time the two of them met. Derek had always thought of her as a promiscuous woman with a messy private life. Even though he had said so many times that he would trust her, he still suspected that she was having an affair with another man and also suspected the origin of the baby in her belly.

Everyone could see these things clearly, but she was the only one who foolishly believed that Derek was sincere.

Now, she was awake.

Meredith's hands shook and she deleted the photo. Now that she knew what was going on, there was no need to keep that thing to hurt her heart. Everything that happened in the past was just because of her foolishness. In the future, she would never be so stupid again.

"Huh..." Meredith suddenly laughed at herself.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Meredith understood a lot. She felt that there was no need to ask for an insult anymore.

Love was never something she could ask for. In that case, she could only find her mother's whereabouts as soon as possible, get rid of her unredressed injustice as soon as possible, and then... leave this place.

Meredith suddenly thought of what Parker had said to her. He had said that he could help arrange for her to go abroad.

As if she had grasped the last hope, Meredith immediately called Parker.

Parker did not expect Meredith to call at this time and answered the phone with some joy. "What's wrong? Do you need help?"

"I... I just wanted to ask, if I want to go abroad, can you..."

Meredith had a thin skin and always felt embarrassed when she asked for help, especially when she faced Parker.

She always felt that she owed him a lot, but she didn't know how to pay him back.

"Of course, I happen to be interested in developing overseas projects. If you want to go abroad, I can arrange for you to work in our company.”

Parker was surprised that Meredith suddenly mentioned going abroad. Could it be that there was some conflict between her and Derek?

Listening carefully to the voice from the phone, Parker's mind was stirring.

He was selfish. He didn't want to give up Meredith to Derek. Besides, he had the confidence to give Meredith more sense of security and happiness, so that she could get rid of the shadow of the past. "Well, I'm already investigating what happened that year. After that, I want to leave here and start over."

Parker found that Meredith's voice was a little hoarse and tired, so he could not help but frown. "Are you having any problems? Can you tell me about it?"

Meredith shook her head. "Nothing. I'm just a little tired.”

Seeing her stubbornness, Parker was extremely worried. "How can I be at ease with you like this? Let's meet tomorrow. You can tell me everything. I'll see if I can help."

Seeing that Parker insisted, she didn't want to reject his kindness, so Meredith agreed to meet him at the coffee shop tomorrow.

Parker looked at the phone. He knew he was taking advantage of her perilous state. But if he had the chance to get Meredith's heart and make Derek feel bad, he would not give it up.

Derek stayed in the ward with Chloe for a long time. Until she fell asleep, he pulled his hand back, stood up, and walked out, exercising his legs that were sore from staying in the same position for a long time.

Asher was outside all the time, and when he saw Derek come out, his expression was still a little awkward. Jameson looked at him and found it funny. Why were these two big men still at odds with each other?

"Derek, I've already told Asher. He knows he's wrong and won't do it again. Why don't you take a step back and make a reconciliation?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Derek tilted his head and looked at Asher. He knew his brother well. He usually looked careless and didn't care about anything, but he would never give up on what he believed.

He remained skeptical of Jameson's words.

"I really went overboard. I won't do it again.”

Asher walked over and apologized awkwardly. Even though he had never changed his mind about Meredith, falling out with Derek now was not good for his plan. For Chloe's sake, he was willing to yield.

"Well, I'll forgive you this time. Remember, don't gossip about the woman in front of me in the future.”

Derek did not look into it any further. After all, they were all friends, so there was nothing that couldn't be forgiven.

"Then can you come and see Chloe more in the future? You've seen her situation. Before you came, she hadn't slept well for a long time if she didn't take medicine. It's not going to work."

Derek frowned when he heard Asher's words. He had always intended to avoid Chloe and stop her from loving him. But now, he really couldn't ignore her illness.

"You don't need to come every day. You just need to take care of her at most once a week. Can't you?"

Seeing that Derek didn't answer, Asher swallowed his pride and continued to beg.

Jameson couldn't stand it anymore. After all, Chloe was like her sister. "Derek, come on. Chloe is in a special situation. If you have something to look into, you can wait until she gets better.”

Derek heard this and nodded. "Okay, I'll be here when I have time. If anything happens here, you can call me."
