Chapter 199
Meredith looked at these people angrily. When she had just helped her mother up from the bed, she
even saw bedsores on her mothers' body. The people here had no professional ethics at all. They just
threw patients on the bed and ignored them.
Now, how dare they let her keep her mother? Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I am her daughter. I want to take her out of here!"
The people in the hospital didn't know Meredith, nor did they know where Derek came from. They just
knew that if Amelia was taken away, then Wesley, the rich lord, would come looking for trouble. So, a
group of people blocked the door and refused to give in.
"I don't care who you are. Anyway, no one can take this person away. Otherwise, none of you will
leave!"
There were no doctors at all in this so-called sanatorium. There were some swindlers without medical
qualifications. Amelia was a business they had managed to swindle. How could they let her go?
Derek did not seem to have expected them to be so stubborn. His face darkened. "What if I say no?"
They came here today to take her away.
"Brothers, teach them a lesson!"
Seeing that Meredith and Derek were not cooperating, they rushed over waving the things in their
hands. Derek immediately shielded Meredith behind him and said to her, "Get out of here. I'll stop
them."
Derek only felt that he was careless. He did not expect that the people here would dare to fight. He was
afraid that they did not know how to write the word "death."
Derek escorted Meredith to the door, but Meredith could not imagine how he would face so many
vicious people.
"But..."
Meredith looked at the aggressive group of people, most of whom were foreigners, each looking tall
and strong, wielding sticks in their hand, which was terrifying.
How could Derek fight them alone?
"Are you going to stay here and wait for me to protect you? Don't you care about the baby in your
belly?"
Derek picked up a chair in front of him and blocked the attack. At this moment, a man rushed over and
aimed at Meredith. He thought this woman was pregnant, and if something happened to her, this man
must be in a mess.
Derek saw the man's movements from the corner of his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and
he rushed over quickly. However, it was too late to block him with the thing in the hand. Derek could
only use his back to resist the fierce attack.
The man beat so heavily that even when Derek tightened his muscles, he still felt a sharp pain and
could not help coughing twice.
Meredith was stunned. She had always thought that Derek would hate the baby in her belly and even
thought it would be better if she lost it. But now...
He was beaten to protect her.
Derek looked down at her. "Why don't you leave quickly!"
If Meredith didn't leave, he was afraid these people would come for her!
Meredith also realized that these people were immoral. "I see. I'll go out and call others. You... Don't let
anything happen to you."
Meredith said with difficulty. Under Derek's difficult cover, she turned around and ran out.
Derek struggled to resist the attacks of these people alone, and there were several places on his body
were hurt, but he still held the exit and did not let anyone have the chance to disturb Meredith.
Meredith ran downstairs. She took out her cell phone and wanted to call the police. At this time, an
ambulance came roaring. Meredith waved to it quickly, Damian and several professional doctors came
down.
Meredith immediately rushed to Damian's side. "Those people won't let us take her away. Derek is in
danger now. Go and help him!"
As soon as Meredith finished speaking, Damian rushed in with his men. Meredith was completely
worried and followed them far behind.
As soon as they entered, they saw Derek standing behind the door. He was so lonely but still could not
be destroyed.
His clothes, which had always been neat and elegant, were now cut many times by the weapons in
those people's hands. They hung in tatters on his body, looking extremely disheveled. In many places,
even his skin was cut. Blood dyed the clothes red, making his whole body emitted a frightening smell of
blood.
However, even so, no one ran out of the room, and everyone was firmly blocked behind Derek. As a
result, there was no threatening to Meredith.
Meredith didn't even know what to say. She covered her mouth and bit her hand, hoping that the pain
would calm her heart. She really didn't expect Derek to work so hard for her, which made her want to
cry.
Damian's men quickly cleaned up the mess. Meredith walked over and held Derek up. "Are you okay?
Why are you so pushy?"
He clearly hated the child in her belly, so why did he use his own body to block the attack for her?
She had clearly made up her mind to give up on him, but how could she let him go?
"I can't stand people hitting women in front of me, can't I?"
Derek looked into Meredith's eyes. Her beautiful eyes were now red and looked like a frightened rabbit,
ready to shed tears.
Damian called for someone to clean up those wild and wooly fellows and walked over. When he heard
Derek's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
What was this called? He was standing on pride. Derek wouldn't do it for any woman, and for her to
block other people's attacks. He obviously cared about Meredith. Why was he so stubborn?
"Miss Mason, let's go. The ambulance is ready outside."
When Meredith heard this, she nodded quickly. Damian was afraid that she would not be able to bear
Derek's weight, so he picked up Derek. Meredith followed him step by step, like a child who had done
something wrong, and lowered her head.
If she hadn't hesitated and delayed, perhaps Derek wouldn't have been hurt so badly.
Meredith looked at the broken shirt on the man's back, which could be seen how strong he was beaten.
How much pain Derek was in... She couldn't even imagine.
Derek relaxed his strength and let Damian bear most of his weight. Then, he had the energy to pay
attention to other things. Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw the little woman who looked as
weak as an eggplant that had been beaten by frost. She lowered her head and was pitiful.
"I said, I don't need you to think so much. I just... I don't want to see a pregnant woman getting beaten
up in front of me, and I don't want to see anyone die."
Damian saw that Meredith was lowering her head and feeling guilty, so he stopped complaining. As he
struggled to carry Derek forward, he looked at Meredith and said, "Miss Mason, you don't have to
blame yourself. Boss is willing to do this. If he doesn't want to, no one can force him to do this."
When Derek heard this, he gave Damian a fierce look, but accidentally hurt the wound on his body,
causing him to stretch his mouth in pain.
