Breakup...

Derek turned up the corners of his lips, showing a self-mocking smile.

It was not a breakup, but it was that he had been dumped.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Derek waved his hand and went back to his room.

Looking at his back, Violet couldn't help but sign.

Derek didn't tell her his feelings anymore.

It was all Meredith's fault for distancing her son from her.

The more Violet thought about it, the angrier she got. She immediately called Meredith.

When her phone rang, Meredith was in a daze. She hesitated for a moment and finally picked it up. "What's wrong?"

Meredith was toneless. She had never deliberately pleased Derek before, and not now, not ever. "Did you break up with Derek? Finally you let him go."

Violet was aggressive.

Meredith sneered. "It's not me who refused to let go. The Xaviers means nothing to me. I'm not that forgetful. I've never forgotten everything you did before.”

Meredith's tit-for-tat words made Violet's face darkened, but she still put on airs. "In that case, I hope you don't go back on your word. Derek deserves a peaceful life, so never appear in front of him again. Of course, you can have compensation if you want."

"Compensation..."

Meredith felt her words disgusting, but soon she thought of something. "I do want something from you."

Violet was disdainful of her. So the stubborn Meredith would ask for compensation.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

"I want Easton's custody!"

Meredith was determined. She said that word for word.

"Meredith, you're dreaming!"

When Violet heard this, she was irritated.

Although Easton was not close to her, he was Derek's first child, the eldest grandson of the Xaviers. But Meredith wanted to take him away so that she could obtain the Xaviers's property?

"Ms. Garcia, I'm not joking. I must take Easton away. He can't live with you, who only cares about profits and power. And I don't want him to fight for inheritance with the children of other women in the future. You don't want to see your grandchildren fight against each other for the inheritance, do you?"

Violet was struck dumb by Meredith's words.

"That's what I want. I don't need you to give me an answer right away, but please remember, Easton must live with me!"

After that, Meredith hung up.

Listening to the busy tone, Violet was so angry that she couldn't breathe properly.

She did not expect that the submissive woman would be so overwhelming now.

But what Meredith said hit the nail on the head. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Easton was now a big boy, and he was more sensible than other children, so he may hate his step- mother if Derek married another woman.

If there was a fight then, it would only hurt the Xaviers.

Violet felt annoyed. Just then, the ginger soup was ready, so Violet immediately took it over and said, "I'll deliver it myself."

So that she wouldn't worry about those things.

After Meredith hung up, the nurse came over and said, "Miss Mason, your mother is awake." Meredith's face lit up with joy and she immediately ran to her mother's ward.

Amelia had just opened her eyes. Seeing Meredith, she forced a smile. "Mer, why do you look worried? I'm fine.

Meredith felt sad. "Mom, I was afraid you would leave me alone.”

Amelia coughed. "Don't be afraid. I'll be alright before you get married. Alas, if you have a happy family, I could die happily.”

Amelia's words made Meredith moved but helpless.

And she felt a little guilty because she was not her mother's biological daughter at all.

She thought she didn't deserve Amelia's love, but she didn't dare to say that. Instead, she joked, "Nonsense. If that's the case, I'll be single for the rest of my life so that you won't die.”

"Silly girl..."

Amelia shook her head.

"Mom, the bone marrow has been found. Soon, you will recover.”

Meredith chatted with her for a while, then left the ward after seeing that Amelia was tired and asleep.

As soon as she went out, She saw Parker standing outside the door like a guard.

"Parker, you've been here all day. If you're tired, go home and have a rest. Don't worry, everything's fine.”

Meredith felt sorry to bother Parker.

"Mer, are you driving me away because you don't need me anymore?"

Parker raised an eyebrow, dissatisfied with her words.

"I don't mean that. I'm just afraid you're tired.”

Meredith shook her head Parker walked over and said, "I'm a man, I won't be tired. But you seemed to be worried about something. Do you want to tell me? Maybe I can help you."

Meredith thought for a moment and said, "I am thinking I should arrange a meeting for my mother and her biological daughter. It's unfair that we don't tell her the truth.”

"Are you worried that Evelyn won't cooperate?”

Parker understood Meredith's concerns.

Evelyn was not like the one who put family first.

Meredith nodded and Parker comforted her, "It's okay. After all, she needs your help now. You can discuss it later. I don't think it's difficult to ask her to meet your mother.”

"That's right. Now her donating her bone marrow is urgent. I don't want to wait any longer.” Meredith shook her head helplessly. She checked the time and found it was late. "I'll contact her tomorrow.”

Parker nodded. "If you're tired, go back to sleep. I'll stay here.”

Meredith felt complicated to see Parker's insistence. "Parker, I feel sorry... You can go back. Let me stay here.”

Perhaps because of today's unexpected “proposal,” Meredith now felt uneasy to stay with Parker.
