Just as Evelyn was nervous and waiting for him to speak, Derek's phone suddenly rang.

Derek looked at his phone. It was from Easton. He stopped talking, lowered his head and answered the phone.

"Easton."

When Evelyn heard that it was Easton who called, she was so angry. At such a critical moment, she was disturbed by that damned kid again.

Why wasn't he the one who fainted from the poisoning?

Derek was talking to Easton without noticing Evelyn's emotions at all.

"Dad, you're awake. How are you feeling now? Do you still hurt?"

Easton was taking care of Fiona. He was afraid that something bad would happen again, so he didn't dare to leave at all. He could only make a phone call to ask about Derek first.

He hoped that dad didn't get angry when he found they didn't go to visit him.

Hearing Easton's childish voice and his concern, Derek was in a slightly better mood.

No matter what, his son still missed him.

"Dad is fine."

"Okay! Mom and I had an accident yesterday, so we left the hospital. Don't think too much. We really care about you!"

Hearing this, Derek suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Easton just said that Meredith also came to the hospital yesterday.

Derek suddenly looked sullen. He realized that the sadness he had just felt might have been due to some misunderstanding, which was all Evelyn's fault.

"I see. Don't worry, I'm fine.”

Derek didn't want Evelyn to hear what he wanted to say next, so he hung up the phone first, and then began typing to Easton to ask what happened yesterday.

Evelyn didn't notice it either. Instead, she waited for Derek to continue the conversation.

However, Derek was using his phone, and everything just happened was like Evelyn's dream, leaving no trace.

"What you just said..."

"I need to go to the bathroom. Sorry.”

Derek knew what Evelyn was going to say. At this moment, he was especially glad that he didn't finish his sentence, because he was a person who would keep his promise.

If there were any misunderstandings, it would be difficult to turn back.

Derek got up and walked into the bathroom.

After turning on the tap to make sure the water was loud enough to cover his voice, he called Easton again.

He had just sent a message to Easton to ask about what he wanted to know, so now Easton just had to answer his questions.

"Yesterday, when I heard that you had an accident, I was so anxious. It was mom who guessed where you were and then we went over. But then, grandma and that bad woman appeared and drove mom away... I had no choice but to stay by your side with my friends so that the bad woman couldn't achieve her goal.”

When Derek heard that Meredith had been chased away, he became so angry that he subconsciously moved his broken left hand and almost cried out in pain.

It turned out that Meredith did come to visit him. He wasn't dreaming. Evelyn lied to him...

"Dad, you have to be careful of Evelyn. It might be her, no, no, it must be her who added the medicine you were injected with into the milk tea she ordered for me. Now my friend is still unconscious in the hospital bed. That woman is evil..."

Easton was afraid that Derek would believe Evelyn and fall into her trap again, so he immediately warned his dad.

"What?"

When Derek heard this, his eyes flashed with a murderous look. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He thought that Evelyn was just pestering him, but he hadn't expected that she would actually hurt Easton.

She always pretended to be kind and honest in front of his mother. He hadn't expected her to be so vicious.

"Mom worked all night last night because of this. Today, she went to see my friend's mother again to fulfill their wish to reunite, but she was so tired that she fainted. It was all the fault of that bad woman."

Easton was afraid that Derek would be unhappy with that woman by his side, so he told all the truth. After hearing this, Derek immediately asked with concern, "Fainted? Is she all right now?"

Now he knew why Meredith was carried down by Parker. She had lost consciousness at that time. At this thought, Derek felt eased.

It seemed that they went to the amusement park to help the child find her mother, and that was all. It was not the sweet date he had imagined...

"I'm having a rest and getting a fluid drip. That... Dad, can you do me a favor and ask that woman to visit my friend..."

Easton said sheepishly. Now Derek was hurt, but he still made this request, which he felt might be inappropriate.

However, seeing Fiona calling for her mother all the time, he couldn't bear it and could only force himself to ask Derek for help.

Derek thought about it and agreed immediately.

After all, that child was in trouble because she was with Easton. It was a kind of compensation to let her meet her mother.

In this way, it would prevent Meredith from going out with Parker. If he saw that scene a few more times, Derek would feel that he was going to have a heart attack from anger.

"Give me the information about the child. I'l send someone to settle this."

"Thank you, dad."

Easton felt relieved and sent Fiona's information to Derek.

Derek immediately asked someone to investigate, and soon found out about Fiona's mother. Derek thought about it. The Lee family seemed to have an investment project to cooperate with the Xavier Group. But because there were so many competitors, there was no advantage for them. Derek immediately asked someone to meet Lydia with the contract, promising that the contract would belong to her as long as she could fulfill Fiona's wishes.

Not long after, Lydia called and said she was willing to visit Fiona.

After resolving this matter, Derek immediately sent a message to Easton to reassure him and told him to wait for someone to come over.

Easton received this message and ran happily to Fiona's bed. "Fiona, your mother will come to see you soon. You have to cheer up. Wake up quickly.”

Derek settled all of these and lay in bed with his eyes closed.

Evelyn saw that he had returned to his earlier indifference, so she said a few words. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she could only leave in a fit of anger.

That damned kid... She really should hurt him directly, otherwise, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
