The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 17

Meredith's mouth was sealed by his lips so she could not say a word. She almost felt suffocated. Even her clothes were torn apart. A deep sense of despair surrounded her. Who could save her? What should she do?

The door was cold and hard and the man pressed her brutally against it. She could not break free. As she was about to be raped by him, she heard Derek's faint voice on the bed.

"Water... Give me some water..."

Meredith's eyes lit up and she shouted, "Derek is awake!"

The man stopped abruptly. He looked back at Derek and then at Meredith. A cold light flashed in his eyes as if he was going to kill Meredith.

The people outside the corridor moved from far to near. Then the man finally bit her hard on the shoulder, turned around, pulled open the curtains, and jumped down into the moonlight.

Meredith felt her shoulder was bit through, but she had no time to care about the wound. She quickly picked up clothes from the ground and put them on. Then she cleaned up the rest of the things. the Xaviers had already arrived at the door and knocked anxiously.

When Meredith opened the door, they rushed in and surrounded the bed. All the lights were turned on. When everyone saw that Derek had really opened his eyes on the bed, they almost cried with joy.

"The young master is awake. He's finally awake!"

Violet said while wiping her tears, "Derek, you finally wake up. All these years, I've been worried to death."

Mr. Xavier brought the doctor and gave Derek a simple examination. After confirming that everything was fine, the doctor recommended that he still needed to go to the hospital tomorrow for further examination, and he could rest first today. Then everyone was relieved.

Mr. Xavier walked over to Meredith and nodded, "You also have a credit that Derek could awake."

Meredith ducked her head, afraid that Mr. Xavier would notice any marks on her face, "Thank you. The whole family had made great effort to make the miracle."

Mr. Xavier stopped looking at her and ordered in a deep voice, "Derek just woke up. Let's all go out and let him have a good rest. We can talk about the rest tomorrow."

The Xaviers walked out one by one. Then Mr. Xavier said, "Derek, this is your wife. She's been taking care of you for the past month. Let her stay by your side tonight." Then he also left.

Only Meredith and Derek were left in the room.

Derek had just woken up and his eyes were still blurred. He looked straight at Meredith for a long time. Meredith remembered that he just asked for water, so she quickly fed him some water.

Derek's coldness made Meredith dare not to speak. After drinking the water, Derek said in a clearer voice than before, "Get out."

"What?"
