Meredith only thought about it for a while, and Derek came back. "The formalities are done. Have you packed everything?"
Meredith nodded. She didn't have anything to pack. This was the VIP ward that Derek had specially arranged. All the daily necessities and other things were available. It was very convenient for her, so she just brought some clothes.
"Then let's go." Derek nodded and took the bag in Meredith's hand.
His subconscious actions warmed Meredith's heart, and she might be stimulated by what the nurse had just said, so she subconsciously called out to Derek, "Derek, I... I have something to tell you."
Derek turned around and was about to nod to let her continue when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and took a look. The name on it made him frown.
It was Chloe.
"I'll answer the call and talk to you later."
With that, Derek walked out.
Meredith and Derek were standing very close just now, so she clearly saw the name on the phone.
Chloe...
The name was so familiar. She recalled and quickly remembered who it was.
It must be the girl who used to be Derek's girlfriend and was now abroad.
Meredith's hand tightened on her abdomen. Just now, she wanted to tell him about the child, but...
The thought of that name and the way Derek's family and friends teased them instantly dispelled Meredith's decision.
She seemed to be feeling a little sentimental. Fortunately, she didn't say anything.
...
Derek answered Chloe's call outside. After leaving her place last time, the relationship between the two gradually returned to its usual coldness.
Derek once asked someone to send an expensive gift to Chloe as an apology for his sudden departure that day, but she never contacted him again.
Derek was also proud. Since she refused to accept the apology, he wouldn't lower himself to do anything else.
Unexpectedly, Chloe succumb first.
"Derek, tonight, I'm going back from abroad. Come and pick me up, okay?"
Chloe's tone was a little cautious. The old she would never have imagined that she would speak to Derek like this.
Derek used to pamper her very much, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would try his best to get them back for her.
But now...
At that time, Chloe was still upset after receiving Derek's gift. He just left her alone and didn't even watch her graduation performance. He just wanted to comfort her with a gift, which was too insincere.
Chloe thought that she would have to wait until Derek apologized to her, He must say a lot of nice things to her, and then she would forgive him. However, she didn't expect that Derek had not contacted her since that day.
Only then did she realize that after such a long interval, Derek was no longer the man who loved her as if she was his life. She could no longer act recklessly and be arrogant. In order to get his heart again, she had to take the initiative.
So, after graduation, Chloe decided to return home.
Wasn't it just taking the initiative? They had been together for a long time. As long as she lowered herself, Derek would not refuse.
"Derek, I came back alone. It will be so late then... The airport is so empty. I... I was scared."
Derek thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up."
