Chapter 103
Chapter 103
Meredith was sent to the ward after she was confirmed fine. The doctor told Derek that Meredith
needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. It was best for her to have a good
rest to recuperate so as to avoid adverse effects on the baby.
Derek looked at Meredith's sleeping face. Since she had been injected with a sedative, she was
sleeping soundly. Her face with sweet tranquility soothed his restlessness.
He'd like her to maintain the current status.
Derek was also a little tired. When he was about to take a break, he heard noises from outside.
"Where's Mr. Xavier? I want to see him right now!"
Nova ran in hastily, terror in her face. The police had just found her house and brought all her family
back to the police station. Only then did Nova know that Seth had failed in raping Meredith. What's
worse, Derek had found it out. Now Seth was taken to the and was likely to face the accusation of
attempted rape.
As soon as this happened, everyone in her family panicked. Seth's parents cried so desperately and
begged Nova to come over and solve this problem.
Nova was inwardly cursing her elder brother for being a piece of crap. However, she had no choice but
to come. She was afraid that Seth would be a total coward and got her in this mess. It would destroy
everything.
Meredith frowned a little as if she was about to be woken up by the piercing sound. Derek walked out
with an expressionless face. As soon as he opened the door, Nova rushed over as if she had seen a
savior.
"Mr. Xavier, my elder brother had been caught and was taken to the ... Please help me."
Derek dodged impassively. Nova came for nothing. She looked a little embarrassed. Then, she
unctuously squeezed out several drops of tears. "Mr. Xavier..."
Derek was completely unmoved by her tears. He even hated to see them.
It was her brother who had done wrong. However, she was acting pitifully now. If Derek hadn't taken a
second, something terrible would have happened.
"Your brother must take responsibility for what he did wrong." Derek was unmoved at all. "You are
being very noisy in a hospital. Get out."
Just as Nova was about to say something, the doctor came over and wanted to go into the ward to
check on Meredith.
"She's asleep. Tell me if you have something to say."
Derek knew that Meredith was terribly frightened today. He didn't want anyone to disturb her repose.
The doctor nodded and handed Derek some medicine. "Nothing big. The nutrition she's taking now
needs some changes. Otherwise, the baby might get malnourished."
When Nova heard the word "baby," she didn't know whether to squeeze out her tears or hide them.
Did Meredith actually get pregnant?
Is this baby Derek's?
On second thoughts, if it weren't Derek's baby, how could he be so concerned?
Suddenly, the hate ran so deep in Nova's heart. It turned out that Meredith had already known.
Meredith had just been putting on an act in front of her all the time. Was Meredith happy to see her
pursuit Derek but fail to get him?
"Get out of here!" Derek took those medicine and noticed that Nova was staring at him in a daze. He
crossly drove her away.
Looking at Derek's handsome face, Nova felt bitter and helpless.
He only showed his tenderness once to her, when he took her for Meredith mistakenly. Now her fantasy
was over, everything was over!
When Nova left, she suddenly resented Meredith. If Meredith didn't accidentally bring Derek into her
life, she wouldn't be like this.
The feeling of getting something then losing it was more painful than never getting it. This kind of pain
made people want to go crazy.
Nova walked a few steps in clouds. At this moment, a man bumped into her and looked down at her.
"It's her. Take her away."
Nova didn't even have time to make a sound of resistance before her mouth was covered in a towel
with ether. She fainted immediately.
Meredith slept for a long time under the comfort of the medicine. By the time she woke up, it was
already dark outside.
She sat up, moved her stiff body, and looked at the empty ward. She felt a little disappointed.
Usually, she didn't feel lonely. Now she needed some tending, but no one was around. She was all by
her lonesome, feeling a little bit sorry for herself.
Derek should have left after he sent her here. Meredith thought, then shook her head helplessly.
It was a great kindness for him to save her from that man. Did she still want Derek to stay in her ward
and watch her until she woke up?
This was just too narcissistic.
Meredith blamed her own messy thoughts on pregnancy. It must have been because the pregnancy
affected her brain that it caused her to think too much about these nonesense.
When she was in a daze, Damian, who was outside, saw the lights were on in the ward. He walked in
and handed over a nutritious dinner. "Here, get some food in your stomach."
Meredith gratefully took it. She happened to be a little hungry. "Did Derek send you here?"
Damian nodded. Meredith's heart was warmed. Suddenly, she remembered something. "Where's that This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
guy?"
Seth almost raped her and hurt the baby. She had to ask where the man was now and sort through
everything.
"Boss said he would take care of this."
Damian said in full detail. The thing that Seth had done could be significant or insignificant. After all, he
didn't succeed in raping her. However, Derek did not want him to escape justice so easily. So he must
use some special means.
These things were not suitable for Meredith to listen to.
The smile on Meredith's face faded a little. She slowed down to eat. "Got it."
Seth was Nova's elder brother. Derek treated her somehow differently. Therefore, it was possible for
him to go out of his way to help her.
Thinking about it, Meredith felt a little disappointed.
After all, if Derek made up his mind to help Seth, she would never be able to compete with him. This
matter could only be settled like this, even if she was really unwilling to let go of that damned bastard.
Damian didn't notice that Meredith was acting unusually. He looked at the time. "It's getting late. I'll go
back first. I've already hired a nurse for you. If you need any help, call her and she'll help you."
Meredith nodded and watched Damian leave.
Looking at the nurse standing outside the door, she couldn't help but wonder if this was Derek's way of
compensating her. She was not happy at all.
Meredith was discharged from the hospital after resting for a few days. These days, she was forbidden
to get out of bed. And the nurse even followed her into the toilet, afraid that something bad might
happen to her.
These days seemed like several years to her. She was uncomfortably bound by various rules and
wanted to take a break so badly.
Finally, Meredith returned to work. Then she realized that Nova was gone.
Just as well, given the situation. Meredith still had a grudge against her. After all, Meredith treated her
well, but she stabbed hard on her back. It was impossible for her to say she didn't care.
Meredith was at work when her cell phone started to ring. The telephone number was unfamiliar.
Meredith didn't answer. However, after a while, that number sent a message. "Don't you want to know
who was the guy in the presidential suite at MS Hotel that day?"
