Chapter 204
Derek was a little confused, but it was just a few hairs, and it wasn't worth asking.
"How is auntie now?"
Derek looked at Amelia, who was lying on the bed. The doctor had already made a new treatment plan
for her, but she still needed time to slowly recover.
He didn't seem to be able to stay with Meredith until Amelia woke up. There were still a lot of things
waiting for him to deal with at home.
"It's okay now. She's not conscious, but her body is much better than before."
Meredith looked at her mother lying on the bed. At least, she would be taken good care of now.
Derek nodded and was about to say something when the phone rang. Meredith caught a glimpse of the
Xaviers's number and broke free from the man's arms. "Go and answer it."
the Xaviers never liked her, and she wasn't interested in what they said. Derek nodded and walked out.
Only then did Meredith find a clean bag and put in the hair that had just been plucked from Derek.
She decided to do a paternity test to prove the identity of their child. After all these things abroad, she
found that she was increasingly inseparable from this man.
And Derek didn't seem to be just flirting with her, so she was willing to take the risk.
Since Derek didn't believe it, she could use evidence to convince him.
...
Derek went out and the Old Master's voice came over the phone. "Derek, what happened to the
Masons? How did it become that Ava framed Meredith?"
Mr. Xavier had never believed that Meredith was framed. Now that he saw the news, he realized that
there might be some misunderstanding.
"As you can see, Meredith was wronged. She was not the culprit at all. Ava was."
Derek said, feeling a little anxious. "So, grandpa, I..."
"Stop talking."
How could Mr. Xavier not know what he was thinking? He knew Derek was going to ask them to accept
Meredith again.
"You are abroad now. Are you with her?"
"Yes, I'm helping her solve her mother's problem."
"Then give her a sum of money to settle her mother down so that we can make it up to her. As for the
rest, don't even think about it!"
Mr. Xavier made a decision.
He didn't want to get involved in the Masons. Even though Meredith seemed innocent, it couldn't
change the fact that she was trying to get revenge on her family by seducing Derek.
What's more, now that the Masons was in a mess and its reputation was completely tarnished, wasn't it
making trouble for themselves to get involved at this time?
Mr. Xavier valued peace and didn't want to get into trouble, not to mention that Meredith was pregnant This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
with someone else's child, and he couldn't accept the fact the Xaviers raising other people's children.
"Grandpa..." Derek did not expect his grandpa's attitude to be so resolute. He thought that Meredith
would be able to be recognized naturally by clearing Meredith's name, but now...
Things were far from as simple as he thought.
"Your mother is awake now, and you should come back to see her as the son. Also, remember to make
a decision. She's very upset now."
Mr. Xavier was no longer entangled in Meredith's matter. After talking about Violet's current situation,
Derek could not continue to argue. "I see."
Derek hung up the phone, walked into the ward, and saw Meredith pondering. "Mer, I'm going back
recently. There are still things I need to deal with at the company. I'll ask Damian to stay and help you
with these things. Don't worry. I'll be back soon."
Meredith nodded and looked at Derek's grim face. "If you have something to do in the company, go
back. I'm fine. Take Damian back too."
After all, Damian was Derek's right hand. It would be inconvenient for Derek to work if Damian stayed
here. "I'm not that fragile. I don't need you to find someone to look after me every day."
Derek shook his head. "You are abroad and don't know the place well. I worry about you. Let him
accompany you for a while. I'll go back now. You take good care of auntie here. If you need anything,
contact me."
Meredith nodded. After Derek had finished explaining, he quickly booked a flight home.
After Derek left, Meredith was a little lonely and didn't know what was going on in the country that
made him so anxious.
However, she quickly got her spirits up and took the collected hair to the doctor, explaining that she
wanted to do a paternity test.
Now that the baby was six months old, it should be possible to compare DNA by medical means.
After the consultation, the doctor gave Meredith a plan and took her to the operating room. After a
series of tests and procedures, "It will take about a month to get the results."
Meredith nodded. A month would be enough, at least, to prove the identity of the child before it was
born.
In that case, Derek would be happy.
Thinking about it, Meredith touched her lower abdomen and felt much more relaxed.
...
Derek got off the plane and rushed to the hospital as soon as possible.
Mr. Xavier was waiting for him at the door of the inpatient ward. When he saw Derek, he patted Derek's
shoulder and said, "Your mother is emotionally unstable. Be careful what you say. Don't say that she
doesn't like to hear. Be careful and don't provoke her."
Derek nodded, pushed the door, and walked in. Violet leaned against the bed and saw someone
coming. She looked over. "Derek."
Violet's tone was faint as if there were no surprises. And her reaction showed that she had
disappointments.
"I'm back. Is your body... Okay?"
Derek asked cautiously, not daring to contradict her.
"If you do not provoke me, I'm fine. These days, Chloe is here to take care of me. When I see her, I feel
better."
Hearing Chloe's name, Derek felt headache, and now Violet was almost determined to treat Chloe as a
daughter-in-law.
"She's usually very busy and doesn't know how to take care of people. Otherwise, let professional care
take care of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Violet sneered, "No matter how bad her skill is, she has a sense of
filial piety, which is better than some people. Your mother is sick, but you miss another woman. If I let
her marry into our the Xaviers, I am afraid that no one will take care of me even if I die, right?"
Derek realized that his actions had deepened Violet's misunderstanding of Meredith. He wanted to
explain, but Violett shook her head. "Derek, I've already made an agreement with Chloe. When you
come back, I'll let you get engaged. This Friday is a good day, so you should have engagement with
her as soon as possible."
Derek frowned. "No one has discussed this with me. I think..."
"What do you think?" Seeing that Derek disagreed, Violet coughed twice and covered her chest. "If you
don't agree, I won't do the next surgery either. I'll be discharged now!"
