The men Derek sent out soon found the clue. After all, the bone marrow matching is not something anyone can do.

"Boss, you guessed right. About a week ago, Meredith's mother did find a matched bone marrow.” A week ago...

Isn't that the time when Evelyn come to J City?

In this way, everything made sense.

Evelyn made a deal with Meredith about the bone marrow match, and that's why the conflict happened yesterday.

It was clear that Meredith had rushed over as soon as she knew he was injured, which meant that she was caring about him. But she never showed it. Instead, she repeatedly rejected him.

At the thought of this, Derek felt a little happy and sad.

The happy thing was that Meredith did not fall in love with other men as he had imagined.

The sad one was that in Meredith's heart, their relationship was always placed at the lowest priority. Derek knew that Amelia's health was more important, but he was upset by the fact that when something happened, Meredith would rather make deal with a stranger than seek for his help.

Was he that untrustworthy?

Derek's eyes dimmed a little, but he quickly hid the expression.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Evelyn. No matter what she does next, report to me in time.” After Derek gave the order, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

As for Meredith, after dining with Amelia, Meredith and Ellie went to the doctor to discuss the time and plan of the operation carefully.

Because of Ellie's cooperation and Amelia's stable physical condition, the operation was quickly scheduled for tomorrow night.

As the long battle in the hospital was finally coming to an end, Meredith was quite relieved.

"What are you going to do next?"

Ellie looked at Meredith. "Aren't you going to recognize your family?"

Meredith hesitated for a moment.

For so many years, she had not had the enviable power and money as Smith family had, and suffered a lot, but she had come to this.

Now she had a lovely child, and her life and career are on the right track.

Meredith had always been an insecure person, or it could be said that she did not like to rush for change.

What's more, Ellie was once thrown into the remote mountain to grow or die, which showed that the Smith family was not a place for anyone.

Meredith was worried that if she returned to the Smith family, she would not be used to the intrigue of the big family, and even get into troubles.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Ellie learned Meredith's worry. "I'm not trying to rush you. I just want to know your thoughts. I can understand if you don't want to acknowledge them.”

"I'll think about it... But I suppose it's safer to do a paternity test first, in case that I wasn't the blood of the Smith family, or I'll be humiliated when I come to them.”

Meredith was much more cautious now after the mistake involved Evelyn.

Ellie felt that it made sense. "Then leave this to me. I usually accompany Old Master to the hospital for examination. After the operation, I will find a chance to give you a paternity test, so that there would be no mistake.”

Meredith nodded. "You're right. This can only be done by you."

The more she spoke, the more guilty Meredith felt.

Ellie had already suffered a lot because her mother had changed the babies. Now that she was willing to donate her bone marrow and help her find out who she was, she owed Soong too much. "It doesn't matter. I also want to know the truth. You don't have to feel burdened.”

Hearing what Ellie said, Meredith's more fond of her.

Meredith heard that Ellie was talented in managing and was also a good hand in the Smith Group. Perhaps she should find a time to return everything that should belong to Ellie to her.

Now that all the assets that belonged to the Masons were in her hands, Meredith planned to return them all to Ellie.

When the time came, she would take Easton abroad to continue her career as a designer. That kind of life would be pretty good.

It's just...

That man would be missing.

Meredith's heart still ached at the thought.

As she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Meredith walked over and opened the door, seeing Lydia standing outside with anxiety.

Meredith didn't expect her to come here at all. Did she suddenly change her mind?

But the last time they met, she was so resistant.

"Miss Mason, I'm here to see Fiona. When she recovers, I'm going to take her away and make up for the pain she's suffered during this time."

Not long after Lydia returned home, her husband, Shawn, rushed back from the company and asked her what happened to her former daughter.

Lydia was shocked and thought that Meredith had spread the news that she had a child with another man. If the Lee family knew, she would be finished.

After an inquiry, however, she knew that Derek came forward and offered to cooperate with the Lee family in exchange for her visit to the daughter she had not seen for many years. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lydia never expected that the daughter who had been abandoned by her for years would somehow get to know the Xaviers, and even let Derek personally make such a tempting offer.

Naturally, the Lee family would not miss such a good opportunity and agreed immediately.

Shawn also felt that since Fiona's relationship with the Xaviers was good, it would be better to bring her back, so he would get more benefits in the future.

Hearing what Lydia said, Meredith did not dare to agree without hesitation. She felt that there was something fishy about it, for Lydia's attitude changed too fast.

Could it be that Parker had offered something to her?

Meredith called Parker to ask about the situation.

"Parker, did you persuade Lydia to visit Fiona?"

Parker frowned. "No, I'm going tomorrow."

Since the year Meredith disappeared, Parker was afraid that the familiar sight would stir up his feelings for her, so he left J City directly. After all these years, most of the connections and foundations that he had built here were dispersed.

Therefore, Parker couldn't do things as he wishes.

"Oh, I see."

Meredith touched her chin. Did Lydia sting by conscience?
