The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 200

Meredith looked at Derek and felt both heartache and guilt. "Stop moving. Get in the car."

As she said, Damian quickened his pace and quickly helped Derek get into the car. Meredith watched

from behind as her mother was carried into the ambulance and she sat beside the stretcher.

Although she could do nothing to help now, she still held her mother's hand. Unlike the warmth in her

memory, her mother's hands now were cold and full of needle holes. Her mother's hands looked like

skin and bones.

All these years, she had been lying on the bed and spending her time in a numb way.

"Mom, it's okay. I won't let you suffer like this again."

Meredith sat aside and muttered to herself. Derek looked at her guilty face and couldn't help but

comfort her. "You're not to blame for this. The Masons goes too far."

It was okay if Derek didn't mention the Masons. But when Meredith heard the 'The Masons', Meredith

wanted to get a knife and put up a desperate fight.

How could they do this to a patient who had no ability to resist?

Derek's expression was also very gloomy. On the one hand, it was because the wounds on his body

were so painful. On the other hand, the Masons had already challenged his bottom line by causing

troubles over and over again.

If he didn't resolve this mortal malady, the Masons might come to Meredith to cause troubles again.

And in a long time in the future, he couldn't stay with Meredith abroad.

It seemed that he must take action as soon as possible.

Derek narrowed his eyes and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Damian, who was

sitting by the side. "Did you control those people?"

Those gangsters seemed to have come prepared. Since they dared to take action, then he shall do

things to retaliate.

"They have all been caught. We will soon be able to find out who is behind it."

Damian immediately reported. In fact, the matter was very clear, but he did not want to say it in front of

Meredith that the Masons had sent people to mess up the situation. This was too cruel for her.

Derek nodded. At this time, the ambulance stopped at the entrance of a hospital he had reserved.

Meredith got out of the car with the medical staff and accompanied them to take her mother in for a

check-up. When she saw her mother being pushed inside to do a CT Scan, she realized that

something was wrong.

She had just been so busy accompanying her mother that she forgot about Derek's injury.

Thinking about it, she hurriedly looked for Derek, who was in the other ward. The doctor checked

Derek's injury. The doctor said, "Fortunately, your bones were not hurt, but the wound on your back

was more severe but you'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Meredith saw Derek take off his shirt. His flawless body, which was originally like a sculpture, was

covered with scars. She saw the bruises and scratches caused by the beating and the nails. But the

most shocking one was the long bruise on his back.

He got that because he shielded her from the hit which was going to hurt her belly.

Meredith's heart seemed to have been hit by something. No one had ever done anything like this for

her. He was so desperate to protect her that he couldn't even care about his own safety.

Derek frowned and allowed the doctor to apply ointment to him. Only then did he notice that there was

a thin figure at the door. Who else could it be but Meredith?

"What are you doing by standing at the door?"

Derek's voice interrupted Meredith's thoughts. She came over with mixed feelings and looked at his

wounds. "Does they hurt? It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."

"Forget it. I don't want to hear this." Derek didn't want to see Meredith blaming herself. "Come here and

apply the ointment to me."

Derek waved his arm. There were some scratches on his arms. The wounds were not deep, but they

also needed to be treated with ointment to diminish inflammation.

"Okay." Meredith immediately walked over, lowered her head, took the ointment, and carefully applied it

to Derek with a cotton swab. While doing it, she looked at the man's expression, afraid that it would

hurt him.

For a moment, both of them were in a trance. Once upon a time, they seemed to be the same.

Meredith quietly applied the ointment to him. At that time, there was no suspicion and no estrangement

between them. They only had concerns for each other.

Derek's pupils dilated and some light appeared in his eyes

After the doctor finished applying the ointment to Derek, the doctor left here. Meredith had almost

finished applying the ointment to him too. She looked up and saw the man's fiery eyes. Her face was

burning with heat, "I... I'll go and see if mom's check-up is done."

Derek grabbed her. Meredith wanted to break free, but she was afraid that the struggle would tear

Derek's wounds open again. So, she did not move and obediently let him hold her.

"How is it? Are you scared?"

Today's situation was indeed a little dangerous. And if a less daring woman faced it, she would have

been scared out of her wits.

Meredith shook her head. Derek was there, so she was not afraid. This man was always able to appear

at her most difficult times to protect her and give her a sense of security.

Derek looked at her cute and obedient face and licked his lips.

On the one hand, at first, he brought her here because he wanted her to find her mother so that her

hope could be realized. On the other hand, he brought her here for he couldn't be willful anymore

because of Violet's illness.

He even thought that maybe he should just let her go.

But in the end, he still couldn't. When he saw that she was almost hit, the subconscious reaction in his

heart told him the truth. He... He really cared about her. He was even willing to get hurt for her.

Derek had never had such feelings before.

"Meredith, I have something to say."

Derek opened his mouth with a rare tinge of nervousness. "If I told you that I want you to wait for me

abroad for a while, would you like to do that?"

Meredith looked at Derek in surprise. She didn't expect him to say that. All this time, it was always that

she had to obey whatever he wanted her to do.

"I will find a place to settle you and your mother, but you have to wait for me for a year. And one year

later, I will come to you." Derek said to Meredith.

He didn't want to let go of this woman. The only method he had was to settle the matter at home first.

And when things were settled down, he would then slowly make Violet accept Meredith.

Meredith looked into Derek's eyes. Many times, she didn't understand what he was thinking. It was

clear that he had been keeping her by his side domineeringly in the past. Now, he seemed to be

looking forward to her answer.

"Answer me a question first." Meredith's eyes fell on the wounds on the man's body. He had the

wounds because of her and those wounds made her frozen heart melt.

"You really love me? Do you really want to be with me?"

Meredith looked at Derek seriously. It seemed that asking this question used up all her courage.

She was afraid that Derek would suddenly change and laugh at her for being over-confident like what

he did in the past. However, she still asked. It seemed that if she didn't ask, she would probably keep This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
