Meredith was sent to the ward after she was confirmed fine. The doctor told Derek that Meredith needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. It was best for her to have a good rest to recuperate so as to avoid adverse effects on the baby.
Derek looked at Meredith's sleeping face. Since she had been injected with a sedative, she was sleeping soundly. Her face with sweet tranquility soothed his restlessness.
He'd like her to maintain the current status.
Derek was also a little tired. When he was about to take a break, he heard noises from outside. "Where's Mr. Xavier? I want to see him right now!"
Nova ran in hastily, terror in her face. The police had just found her house and brought all her family back to the police station. Only then did Nova know that Seth had failed in raping Meredith. What's worse, Derek had found it out. Now Seth was taken to the and was likely to face the accusation of attempted rape.
As soon as this happened, everyone in her family panicked. Seth's parents cried so desperately and begged Nova to come over and solve this problem.
Nova was inwardly cursing her elder brother for being a piece of crap. However, she had no choice but to come. She was afraid that Seth would be a total coward and got her in this mess. It would destroy everything.
Meredith frowned a little as if she was about to be woken up by the piercing sound. Derek walked out with an expressionless face. As soon as he opened the door, Nova rushed over as if she had seen a savior.
"Mr. Xavier, my elder brother had been caught and was taken to the ... Please help me."
Derek dodged impassively. Nova came for nothing. She looked a little embarrassed. Then, she unctuously squeezed out several drops of tears. "Mr. Xavier..."
Derek was completely unmoved by her tears. He even hated to see them.
It was her brother who had done wrong. However, she was acting pitifully now. If Derek hadn't taken a second, something terrible would have happened.
"Your brother must take responsibility for what he did wrong." Derek was unmoved at all. "You are being very noisy in a hospital. Get out."
Just as Nova was about to say something, the doctor came over and wanted to go into the ward to check on Meredith.
"She's asleep. Tell me if you have something to say."
Derek knew that Meredith was terribly frightened today. He didn't want anyone to disturb her repose.
The doctor nodded and handed Derek some medicine. "Nothing big. The nutrition she's taking now needs some changes. Otherwise, the baby might get malnourished."
When Nova heard the word "baby," she didn't know whether to squeeze out her tears or hide them.
Did Meredith actually get pregnant?
Is this baby Derek's?
On second thoughts, if it weren't Derek's baby, how could he be so concerned?
Suddenly, the hate ran so deep in Nova's heart. It turned out that Meredith had already known. Meredith had just been putting on an act in front of her all the time. Was Meredith happy to see her pursuit Derek but fail to get him?
"Get out of here!" Derek took those medicine and noticed that Nova was staring at him in a daze. He crossly drove her away.
Looking at Derek's handsome face, Nova felt bitter and helpless.
He only showed his tenderness once to her, when he took her for Meredith mistakenly. Now her fantasy was over, everything was over!
When Nova left, she suddenly resented Meredith. If Meredith didn't accidentally bring Derek into her life, she wouldn't be like this.
The feeling of getting something then losing it was more painful than never getting it. This kind of pain made people want to go crazy.
Nova walked a few steps in clouds. At this moment, a man bumped into her and looked down at her. "It's her. Take her away."
