Meredith turned around and saw the mess behind her.

Andy woke up and was about to get himself out of bed.

He came out and saw Meredith. He was stunned. "Are you..."

He didn't look at Meredith's face carefully last time. After taking a closer look, he found out that she really resembled that person.

He didn't mean facial features, but the eyes and temperaments.

"You are... her daughter?”

Andy staggered over. His tone sounded excited.

"...1 don't know."

Meredith shook her head. She really didn't know who she was because Cali was dead and the girl's blood type didn't match.

"No, you must be her daughter.”

Andy sighed. "You may have a lot of questions. Let's talk about it, shall we?"

Meredith and Derek looked at each other. Derek said, "Do you mind if I'm present?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Derek felt that Andy was not a decent person, so he was worried about Meredith's safety.

"Don’t worry. I'm too old to do any harm to her. I won't run away or do anything dangerous. I just want to ask some questions.”

Hearing this, Meredith thought for a moment, "Okay, no problem."

With that, she went up to hold Andy. "Don't worry. It's okay."

Derek still felt uneasy. However, both of them wanted to talk alone, so he couldn't meddle in.

"May I ask what happened back then?”

Meredith helped Andy to the bed. He had just woken up and was very weak. After a few steps, he was panting.

"Since you are her daughter, you have the right to know."

Andy was lost in thought and seemed to recall things that happened a long time ago.

"I am an orphan. I was abandoned by my parents and grew up in an orphanage. Therefore, I am a loner, so no one is willing to adopt me."

Andy began with his background. Meredith did not interrupt him but listened quietly.

"Fortunately, my irresponsible parents gave me a good IQ. After I went to school, I was always at the top of the class with excellent grades. I did well in the college entrance examination and went to medical university in Capital City."

"At that time, I didn't know that there were a lot of rich and powerful young men in that university. Because I was a loner since I was a child, I couldn't please others, so I was treated as an alien and caused a lot of people's hostility. Then, I began to lose things inexplicably, or I would be teased and bullied.”

Meredith felt the same way when she heard that.

When she was in prison, she also lived miserably.

She didn't expect his past to be so painful.

"Just when I couldn't hold on, I met Cali. She was really nice. She backed me up once and told me not to worry. No one would dare to bully me because she'll protect me.”

"Since then, I had followed her all the time. I knew that I didn't deserve her, so I just wanted to stay behind her and help her when she was in need. I just didn't expect that she would fall in love with a man she shouldn't have."

"I didn't know who the man was. Those who knew it probably couldn't live to this day. Anyway, Cali disappeared for a long time after being with him, and then she came back pregnant. She hid at my place and gave birth to you, but she was worried that someone would continue to chase you who was still an infant. So she asked me to think of a way to save your life.”

Meredith suddenly fell silent.

Needless to say, she understood what this method was.

One baby from another family was turned into her scapegoat.

"As a doctor, I shouldn't have done such a vicious thing. However, seeing how weak she was, I couldn't refuse her. After all, she was the person I loved the most in my life, so I thought of a way to exchange the two children.”

"I know that Derek is very resourceful. Maybe you don't need to know those from me. So, I just want to ask, is that girl okay now?"

Andy propped himself up and looked at Meredith.

Meredith shook her head. "I don't know. That girl's blood type doesn't match my parents at all. I don't know if your plan was wrong or..."

The girl was dead, and the current Miss the Smiths was a fake.

"What?"

When Andy heard the news, he was shocked, then his face turned pale.

Although he knew the consequences of his actions, he still found it hard to accept that he had killed an innocent girl.

"It's my fault.”

Andy kept shaking his head.

"Maybe, there's something I don't know. Maybe the Smith family hid her to protect her. Anyway, I'm not sure she's dead yet, right?"

Meredith could only find a reason to comfort herself.

Andy nodded. "I will find a way to pay for my sins. I want to see your mother... And apologize to her. As for what you will do to me in the future, I will face it."

"My mother is still in the hospital waiting for a bone marrow transplant. I don't intend to let her know about this now."

Meredith rejected him. Now Amelia was emotionally vulnerable, she couldn't take the risk.

"Then..."

Upon hearing the news, Andy could not help but feel that it was fate that made her suffer from this disease. If not, perhaps this incident would be hid forever.

"Then let me see her when she recovers.”

Looking at Andy's pleading eyes, Meredith did not refuse.

She was not qualified to forgive him on behalf of her mother. She had to leave it to her mother to make the decision.

"This is a token left by your mother to me. It's a family heirloom of the Smith family. At that time, I didn't have the chance to give it to you back then. Here you are.”

Andy handed over a box. Meredith took it, opened it, and saw an emerald pendant inside.

It was green and was carved from an extremely high-quality raw material. The carving technique was very unique, and the patterns on it were not the usual auspicious decorations. The patterns were somewhat strange.

"If you want to work in the Smith family in the future, it's at least easier to have this."

Andy coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Meredith quickly called the doctor in and saw a group of people surrounding Andy to treat him. She didn't want to stay here anymore. Therefore, she took the box and walked out thoughtfully.
