Derek was slapped, but there was no expression on his face. He stared at her bitterly. "You're still
thinking about the Xaviers. Don't you feel even a little guilty about Meredith?"
Violet suddenly felt exhausted. She was running around in the domestic and overseas. Yet she was still
being contradicted by her son when she was severely jet-lagged. It was really hard for her to stay calm.
"Derek, everyone has their own most important thing. In your opinion, all the glory of the Xaviers is
nothing, but that's all I have."
Ever since she married into the Xaviers, Violet's life had not been easy. Her husband had been flirting
around and even wanted to divorce her for a mistress, which was known throughout the city.
The only thing Violet felt she could make up for herself was the glory of the Xaviers.
That was the only thing that comforted her, making her feel that her youth was not wasted.
"What about me?" Derek looked at her and suddenly wanted to laugh. "Have you considered me?"
She had taken into account everything about the Xaviers, but she had forgotten about her son as a
living person.
"Derek..."
There was a suffocating silence in the air.
"I won't give up. I'll keep looking for Meredith, alive or dead."
Derek suddenly opened his mouth. He no longer confronted Violet. He knew that she would not give
him any clues, nor would she have any regrets or guilt about Meredith, so he could only do it on his
own.
"I hope you don't stop me this time. Otherwise, I don't know what I will do."
Derek's voice was filled with depression and pain.
Only then did Violet see the wound on his hand. He had just punched against the wall, and the blood
kept flowing down, as if it were hitting her chest.
Violet was suddenly confused for a moment. She thought that her son would stand on the same side as
her no matter when. She did not expect such a day of tit-for-tat.
Meredith had a dream.
In her dream, she saw her baby, the one who was taken away after just one look.
In her memory, she could not see the child's face clearly. She only heard his cry. She looked around for
the child's traces, but in the end, she only saw the figure of a man and a woman.
It was Derek and Chloe. Chloe was holding her child, looking arrogant as usual.
"Meredith, look how arrogant you were back then. Now I have your child." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"But when my child is born, he will be useless. He is just an illegitimate child."
Chloe turned a deaf ear to the baby's heartbreaking cry. It seemed that she was laughing at Meredith's
ignorance and stupidity.
"Give me back the child!"
Meredith tried to run in their direction, but she could not get close to them, as if she were separated
from an invisible barrier.
She could only watch the child being taken away by Derek and Chloe, but she could do nothing.
"No, give me back the child... Give it back to me..."
Meredith struggled, and then someone held her hand. "Meredith, wake up. Did you have a nightmare?"
Meredith woke up from her dream and opened her eyes to see Parker standing by the bed with a
concerned face.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Parker had just heard the noise in the room outside. He was worried
that something might happen to Meredith, so he barged in.
Then, he heard her screaming in pain. There was nothing he could do but wake her up. Now that
Meredith was too weak, it was draining her energy.
"I..." Meredith breathed heavily, like a fish thrown onto the shore. She recalled the scene in her dream,
her child...
"I dreamed about the baby..."
Meredith's tone was painful. She had just realized that she didn't even have a picture of the baby. Over
time, she might not even remember what the baby looked like.
By then, the only connection between them would be gone, just like... She had never had a biological
child before?
"He's not doing well. I dreamt that the Xaviers must be bad for him. I'm going... I'm going to find him!"
After being a mother, Meredith became superstitious. She panicked at the thought of the crying baby in
her dream and Derek ignoring her.
Chloe was not the mother of the child. How could the child live well with such a stepmother?
She couldn't let her baby suffer like this in the Xaviers.
"Calm down! Meredith!"
Seeing how excited Meredith was, Parker was worried. He knew what it was like to be a mother, but...
It was impossible to bring the child out of the Xaviers. Even if Meredith went there, she would probably
just be kicked out.
"Meredith, the child is fine. He's the only child in the Xaviers. Why don't they treat him well? Calm down
and stop thinking."
Parker's voice gradually cooled Meredith's heart.
She calmed down and realized that she had no ability to bring the child out, and Parker... Could not do
the same.
If it weren't for him, she would have died.
What did she take to bring the child back?
"..." Meredith was silent and was no longer struggling. However, looking at her like this, Parker's heart
hurt even more.
It was all because of his incompetence that he could not protect her and let her encounter such a thing.
He hated the Xaviers even more.
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to arrange for someone to come over and keep an eye on the child.
Nothing will happen to him."
Meredith nodded. "Thank you, thank you so much... I don't know how to repay you."
Meredith knew that this was the best way to treat the child, and she couldn't help but feel a little more
guilty and grateful for Parker.
"No need. I do all these things willingly..."
As Parker spoke, Meredith saw the deep affection in his eyes, but she looked away.
She no longer wanted such feelings. She just wanted to protect her child secretly.
Seeing Meredith's reactions, Parker was a little sad, but he didn't show much. He knew that Meredith's
heart had been hurt so badly that it was difficult for her to accept a new relationship.
But it didn't matter. He wasn't in a hurry. He would be by Meredith's side in the future. He could wait for
the day she opened her heart.
"Your mother is now back in the hospital for treatment. Now, I can't be sure that everyone believes in
your death, so I can only make you stay here for a few more days, but it's safe here."
