Chapter 233
"Mr. Xavier... Do you want to go through the discharge procedures?" The doctor looked at Derek, who
was looking out in a daze. When he saw Meredith's face, he couldn't help but wonder.
He really didn't understand what this person was thinking. Derek was clearly very concerned, but he
refused to show up. What was the story in it?
"Of course not." Derek glanced at the doctor. "How's her mother's condition?"
"The recovery is smooth, but it will take some time to consolidate."
Derek narrowed his eyes. "Then let her stay until she recovers. I'll pay for her medical expenses, but
don't let her know that I did it, understand?"
It was difficult for the doctor to understand such a strange request. However, Derek had already stood
up and said, "You can ask someone to go to the Xavier Group for a talk over the research funds that
your hospital previously requested."
Hearing this, the doctor immediately made a response excitedly. That was an investment involving tens
of millions of dollars, compared to which, Meredith's mother's treatment fee was nothing.
"Mr. Xavier, thank you very much. I will definitely treat this young lady's mother's illness and nothing will
go wrong."
Hearing this, Derek nodded and looked at Meredith again. "Go ahead and do it. Remember, find a
reasonable reason."
He couldn't show up now, so he could only watch her from afar.
Meredith was waiting outside, looking at the people coming and going. She had lost her patience and
was about to find someone inside when the doctor came out. "Miss Mason, this is the case. Your
mother's illness is at a critical stage. If she leaves now, even if doctor Leslie helps, without basic
equipment, it will be difficult to achieve the best results."
Hearing this, Meredith was very disappointed. She did want her mother to stay in the top-end hospital
for treatment, but she did not have the money. After she was separated from Derek, she could not
afford the expensive medical expenses alone.
Although Derek did not say that she was going to be chased away, since she had already spoken out,
she would not go back on her promise. No matter what, she could only start over again by breaking it
clean.
"But even if I wanted to stay, I couldn't afford that."
As soon as Meredith finished speaking, the doctor patted his head. "If you can't pay the bill for now, you
can pay it in installments."
"But... I'm still pregnant. And I'm afraid that I won't have a stable income for a long time."
Meredith was a little touched. She didn't expect those medical workers to be so responsible and
considerate.
"It doesn't matter. After such a long time of contact, I know your personality well. I can also vouch for
you as long as you pay back the money when you work."
Hearing this, Meredith hesitated. If she was allowed to pay back the money in the future, she could
work hard to avoid transferring her mother out of the hospital.
"Okay. Thank you, doctor."
When Meredith heard this, she nodded and asked the doctor some more questions. Finally, she said
solemnly, "In the future, I will pay for my mother's treatment alone. It has nothing to do with Derek.
Don't use his money."
In the room, Derek could vaguely hear what Meredith said. When he heard this, he felt quite helpless.
Did this stupid woman really think that there were so many good people in the world who would help
her unconditionally?
Was she so desperate to draw a line with him?
However, seeing the relieved smile on her face, Derek could not be angry with her at all. It seemed that
he really fell for this woman.
The doctor nodded and accepted Meredith's request. After sending her away, he hurried back to the
VIP reception room where Derek was.
"Mr. Xavier, it's done."
Derek nodded. "You did a good job. Remember, don't let her know that I came looking for you. Just say
that you wanted to help her, understand?"
The doctor nodded. However, he couldn't understand what Derek was thinking, who didn't leave a
name for his good deeds. Was he learning from Lei Feng?
However, it seemed that Derek was really concerned about that woman and would rather help her
using such a troublesome way. In the future, he would get along well with Meredith. Perhaps, there
would be more benefits for him.
Seeing that things were done, Derek left. At this time, Damian had already finished the meeting in
Derek's place and called to report some new information.
After listening to his report, Derek suddenly asked, "How are things going at the Masons?"
"Now the Masons shares are mortgaged. The villas are sealed and the rest of the Masons are evicted.
What's more, the property is under our control."
Damian reported one by one. the Masons' business had plummeted under the deliberate suppression
of the Xaviers and they were being chased around by the major creditors. Therefore, they had no
choice but to mortgage the house. Now the family had moved to a small house in a slum and had a
hard time living.
Ava's career was completely doomed because of all the scandals she had been exposed. Not only was
she at risk of going to jail, but she was also paid for breach of contract because of her ruined public
image. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
It can be said that the Masons now was bankrupt and only had an empty shell. There weren't even
people who wanted to take over it. However, Derek took advantage of this opportunity to get everything
from the Masons.
He must had done it for Miss Mason.
Thinking of this, Damian felt as if he understood something. It must be a pleasant surprise for Meredith
to have the Masons back. After all, Meredith wouldn't expect that there was a good news awaiting her.
When Derek heard this, he nodded. The Masons had been taken, but he was not as happy as he
thought. In the beginning, he really wanted to return the Masons to Meredith.
That was what belonged to her, and she would be happy to know it.
But now...
He wasn't sure what Meredith would react after receiving this gift. As he thought, he smashed the
steering wheel hard and he was increasingly depressed.
At this moment, the phone rang. It was a video call from Chloe. "Derek, how are you doing abroad?
The engagement ceremony has been set up. Look, is there anything unsatisfactory?"
Chloe happily showed Derek the venue that she had carefully arranged. Since it was the most
important thing in her life, she even stopped work temporarily to prepare for the wedding with all her
heart.
Just to be the most beautiful woman that day.
"Well, as long as you're happy." Derek was not in the mood. He glanced at the fancy background and
said faintly.
