The phone immediately hung up. In that instant, the cold sweat on Meredith's body had soaked through her clothes, as if the clothes had been taken out of the cold water. Meredith also felt as if all the surrounding air had been drained away, suffocating her.
Julius also got up and grabbed Meredith's trembling body, "Meredith, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I'm fine..." Meredith avoided Julius's hand and took a few steps back. Fearing that she might implicate Julius, she grabbed the phone and hurriedly said goodbye to him, "I have something to do. I have to leave. I will contact you another day."
"Wait. "Julius knew that Meredith had difficulties. Meredith was a tragic woman who had been unjustly imprisoned and then controlled by the Xaviers after her release. As much as he wanted to help Meredith, he could only do so in moderation, as he didn't want to harm her. "Give you the band card. You take it with you. If you don't like what you eat and wear at the Xaviers, go out and buy some. By the way, I've also brought you a lot of clothes, all of which are the styles you used to like. You will also have other clothes you can change into if you can't go out and buy them."
Meredith looked down at the old jeans and white short sleeves she had brought out of prison three years ago and smiled awkwardly. "It's okay. I have my clothes..."
"Don't be so polite to me. All right, go back first. The Xaviers will make things difficult for you if you're late."
Julius stuffed the clothes and the card into Meredith's hand and turned to leave. Meredith had to take the clothes and get into the car of the Xaviers.
At the corner of the street, Julius sat in the car and watched Meredith's thin figure get into the car. His heart inexplicably tightened, and his hand also tightened the steering wheel.
Julius thought, "Meredith, wait for me. One day I will let you be free."
Meredith was restless on her way back, hoping that the night would come later. She was afraid that the man would do something to her, but she dared not tell anyone.
The driver was also the man's subordinate, and she dared not show any signs of abnormality.
For a moment, she wanted to jump out of the car and escape, but she knew she couldn't escape from the Xaviers!
Meredith felt as if her throat had been choked, and she could not breathe for a moment.
Meredith sat in the living room until midnight, not daring to go back to her room. The servants who came and went looked at her in surprise. Finally, when Violet came home late for the dinner and saw Meredith still sitting on the sofa in the living room, her anger surged up, and she began to scold Meredith, "Why are you sitting here at this late hour like a fool? You should stay with Derek."
"I, I can't sleep. I'm breathing in the living room..."
"Go back to your room and massage Derek until you can sleep! Don't let me see you again in the middle of the night. It's disgusting!"
