Meredith nodded and immediately left the house with the two kids, then they headed straight for the
hospital.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Meredith saw many bodyguards dressed in
black hovering around the hospital, as if they were on guard against the people outside.
So Meredith was more certain that Derek must be receiving treatment here.
After all, Derek was now in charge of the Xaviers, and every move would pose a great impact. If any
bad news came out, the stock price of the Xaviers would definitely fluctuate.
Therefore, in order to avoid the worst scenario, many bodyguards stood here, allowing no suspicious
people in.
Meredith took Easton there and Damian came up. Although he hadn't been with Derek for a long time
recently, how could he not come back after something so serious happened?
"Hello, Miss Mason."
Damian also looked tired and remorseful.
These days, he had been thinking about his relationship with Penelope, so he just used the annual
leave he had never taken in the past few years to give himself a long vacation so that his mind could be
free and he could find the answer deep in his heart.
However, he didn't expect this to happen.
Derek was the one who recognized Damian's talent. Although Damian graduated from a prestigious
university, he was still an ordinary man with no background. In the workplace, he did not seem to have
many advantages over others.
There was even a time when Damian stayed up all night to work out a plan for a week and a substitute
who relied on connections stole his work.
Damian was so angry that he went to talk to the director first, but he was told that the substitute's
relative was the finance manager of the company. Even if he made a fuss, it was useless.
Just when Damian thought he could only swallow the bitter pill in silence, Derek called him to the office.
Derek pointed out the shortcomings of his plan and told him that the two men who relied on nepotism to
bully others had been fired. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Then, because of his outstanding working abilities, Damian followed Derek and became Derek's
special assistant.
"If I had been there, maybe I could have saved my boss, maybe this wouldn't have happened..."
Hearing Damian's remorse, Meredith comforted him. "You didn't know this would happen, and it was
completely an accident. Even if you were there, you couldn't change anything. I'm sure he wouldn't
blame you."
Hearing Meredith's words, Damian felt much better and nodded. "Let's go in quickly. The doctor should
give the results soon."
Meredith nodded and quickly followed Damian inside.
However, Violet, who had been waiting outside the operating room, saw Meredith after a few steps.
Seeing Meredith, Violet was filled with anger.
Since yesterday, when Derek came home, his expression has been very strange. Violet asked him
many times, but he was not willing to say anything.
It was obvious that this must have something to do with Meredith.
And today, this accident happened.
The resentment in Violet's heart deepened. If this woman hadn't always disturbed Derek's mind, how
could he have been absent-minded and hurt by a falling object from the sky?
"Meredith, what are you doing here? Do you think you didn't hurt Derek enough?"
Meredith really didn't want to talk to Violet. This woman's thoughts were different from normal people.
No matter what happened, even now, Derek was obviously injured by an accident, and she could
blame Meredith.
However, seeing that she was in a bad mood because of her son's accident, it was rare for Meredith
not to argue with her, so Meredith pretended not to hear her.
Violet was even angrier when she saw Meredith ignoring her.
She didn't know when the change started. Meredith was no longer the pushover she remembered.
Meredith was like this, even though Meredith didn't say anything, she felt it was very difficult to control
Meredith.
"Grandma, can you not say that... Mom didn't know this would happen either. She knew that dad was
hurt, so she came over first because she cared about him."
Although Meredith did not speak, her precious son Easton could not bear to see her suffer a little.
Standing directly in front of Meredith, Easton stared at Violet. He looked like a little adult.
Fiona also came. Although her strength was very small, aunt Mer had protected her and said to help
her find her mother, so she could not let outsiders bully her.
When Violet saw this scene, she felt even worse.
Speaking of which, she had brought Easton for five years, and Meredith had only been back for less
than a year, and the two of them had not been together for long. However, this child was naturally close
to his mother, and now, he was challenging her for his mother.
And the little girl beside, who looked timid at first glance, but now stared at her fiercely like a little wolf.
This woman really was really good at winning popular support.
"Easton, you're still a child, so you don't understand. Your father is usually so smart and quick-witted. If
he hadn't been distracted by her affairs, he would have been able to escape."
"No, I don't believe you. No one saw what was going on. Why should mom take all the responsibility?"
Easton had been arguing with Violet like a little man.
Meredith's heart warmed up when she saw him.
"Forget it, Easton. Your grandmother is just worried about your father's injury. Stop arguing."
"Mom..."
Meredith shook her head at him. This was not the time to argue. The most important thing was Derek'
conditions.
Easton felt aggrieved at the sight of this, and suddenly he seemed to understand why his mother had
been unwilling to marry his father.
If anything happened in the future, grandma was so indiscriminately criticized his mother, even the
most good-tempered people could not stand it.
Violet heard Meredith say this, but she didn't feel sorry at all. She didn't appreciate Meredith at all.
Instead, she felt that Meredith was pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be knowledgeable and
reasonable, so that everyone could sympathize with Meredith.
However, many people sympathized with Meredith.
Violet's heart was filled with indignation, and they just stared at each other. When everyone was
awkward, the lights in the emergency room went out a few times, and finally, the door was pushed
open.
Derek was pushed out.
"Doctor, how's my son?" Violet asked anxiously.
