After Derek finished speaking, he slammed the door and left.
Hearing the harsh slap, Meredith's body shivered a little. She never thought that she had mustered up the courage to tell the truth but only to get such a result...
She called Nova again, but Nova didn't answer the phone at all. It was as if Nova was afraid of spilling the beans. In the end, Nova even turned off her phone.
Meredith had no choice but to call the MS Hotel, and the answer was that outsiders could not watch the security feeds. Moreover, security feeds were erased every three months. Even if Meredith kept looking for it day and night, it was impossible to find the deleted video in the huge number of videos and restore it.
After making these calls, Meredith felt as if her body was being drained of strength. It turned out that there were some things that you could not prove even if you wanted to.
At this moment, Meredith felt the baby in her stomach kick her. Now that the baby was five months old, how could she accept that she would be separated from the child?
Was there no other way?
Meredith looked at the ceiling in confusion and felt extremely tired.
She really didn't know what to do.
...
When Derek left Meredith's house, he also had surging anger in his heart. When he thought of the child in her belly, he only felt that the intimacy of recent days between them was as fragile as an illusion.
If Meredith still kept that child, he would feel uncomfortable and threatened.
Thinking about it, the man was not in the mood to go to the company. He also had an unpleasant time in the Xaviers, so he just simply went to Jameson's place.
Derek didn't know what Jameson was doing lately since Jameson hadn't contacted him for a long time.
When Jameson received Derek's call, he was listening to music in the bar. The beautiful female singer on the stage winked at him and exchanged amorous glances with him. Jameson was about to have a romantic encounter when he was interrupted by the ringtone.
However, when he saw it was Derek, he still picked it up, but there was a hint of blame in his tone. "It's fine if you don't call me normally. But when you call me, you always ruin my good time. What's going on?"
Jameson's flirtatious tone eased Derek's boredom. "You're at the bar?"
Jameson told him about the location. This was a famous music bar in J City. It was usually quiet, so it was good for one to come out and relax here.
"I'm on my way."
Derek glanced at the address and drove to the bar.
He no longer wanted to get tangled up in the things that upset him. Perhaps, getting drunk was a good choice to resolve all his negative feelings.
Jameson was shocked. Derek was not the type of person who would come out in daylight to have fun. If he wanted to come, there must be something that bothered him.
After thinking about it, Jameson could only reject the invitation of the folk singer and continue to sit and wait.
Not long after, Derek arrived. The moment the man appeared, he attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, a handsome man like him who was tall and as handsome as a star was a rarity here.
However, Derek was not in the mood for a romantic encounter and he coldly rejected the invitations of a few women who came to talk to him. After sitting next to Jameson, he glanced at the cocktail on the table and raised the corner of his mouth. "That's all you drink?"
"Then what else do you want to drink?"
Jameson glanced at him. Derek tapped the table and ordered a few bottles of extremely strong liquor. "Have a try?"
Jameson was stunned. These were all spirits. Even a man like him drank them all, he would lose his mind.
