How could Meredith not notice what Derek was thinking? His eyes were burning as if they were about to set her on fire.
Just as the atmosphere became more intense, Derek's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was Violet.
"Derek, we have a very important guest at home today. When are you coming back?"
Derek's burning desire had been extinguished by this call. Why didn't he remember that anyone at home had told him about an important guest coming?
Seeing that someone was looking for him, Meredith heaved a sigh of relief and quickly hid in the bathroom. It was too dangerous...
Derek saw Meredith hiding like an ostrich and thought for a while before saying, "I still have something to do. I'll let you go this time. You'd better take your medicine on time. Otherwise, I'll come back tomorrow..."
"By then, it won't be so easy for you to escape."
After that, Derek left.
After Meredith heard him leaving, she came out of the bathroom.
Meredith patted her chest and let out a long sigh of shock.
Not long after Derek left, the maid came in and checked Meredith. It seemed that the fever was not as bad as it had been at first.
Meredith was also worried that Derek would really do what he said, so she offered to eat.
The maid immediately went out to look for someone to prepare it. At this time, a car came. Seeing that it wasn't Derek, the bodyguards raised their vigilance, but only one person came down from the car and delivered the takeout. "This was specially sent to Miss Mason by Mr. Xavier. Please check it out."
They were all a little confused. But after thinking about it, they understood that there were not many people knowing this place. Besides, Meredith was sick now, so it was natural that Derek would send something to coax her. As a result, they took it without further questions and delivered it to Meredith.
Meredith didn't care much when she saw it. It was just that the food smell really worked up her appetite and she couldn't help but open it.
Just as she opened the box, a note fell out.
"I saw your messages. Here's my plan..."
Meredith's eyes widened when she saw the line on the note.
It turned out that Parker was not unaware of this but had been planning, and she was a little moved. Meredith quickly memorized the contents of the note, and then lit it with a lighter and threw it into the flowerpot.
Parker's plan...
Meredith took a few bites of the food casually. Although it was all her favorite food, at this moment, she couldn't enjoy it at all. She just ate it mechanically, and her mind kept thinking.
According to this plan, she might really be able to escape. She must try!
...
When Derek returned to the Xaviers, he realized that Chloe was the most important guest Violet talked about.
The two women sat on the sofa, holding hands and talking. They looked very close.
