"You must be lying." Meredith was suddenly speechless to Derek.
He flew back to J City for a few hours yesterday, but he hadn't rested yet. Did he treat his body as iron?
"Get some rest. I'm going to the hospital to take care of mom."
Meredith urged. Derek looked at the message she sent, smiled, and sent a voice message. "Are you concerned about me?"
Meredith clicked the voice message, and the man's deep, magnetic voice came into her ears with a somewhat hoarse voice. It made her feel numb, and her body trembled. Then, she quickly typed, "Yes, now you should go to bed."
Derek could guess what Meredith was like just by imagining it. He thought she should have blushed already, but she always refused to admit that she was clearly concerned. This woman was really of duplicity.
However, he did not hate this kind of duplicity but felt her a little cute.
"Okay. I'll go rest. Don't get too tired at the hospital. Let those people help you."
Meredith smiled back. Coincidentally, Damian came up to ask her for breakfast, so she put away her phone and went downstairs to eat.
Derek specially invited a nutritionist to make nutritious meals for Meredith every day. After she had eaten, Damian accompanied her to the hospital.
When Meredith reached the place, she asked Damian to do his own things. Although Damian was with her now, Derek still had a lot of things and he needed Damian's help, so she didn't want to waste Damian's time.
After Damian left, Meredith sat in the inpatient ward and started wiping her mother's face and hands as she did every day.
Although she had been told many times that she didn't need to do the work herself, Meredith insisted on doing it herself, which gave her a sense of reality that she was taking care of her mother.
The day passed in a blink of an eye.
Meredith stayed here until evening to get home, and not long after she got home, Derek called.
The two of them talked for a while. Although they could not meet, their feelings were not diluted at all.
"In a few days, I'll come to you after I've finished my work."
Derek looked at the schedule in his hand. Now, it was difficult to find Meredith alone, so he had to arrange a meeting abroad in Meredith's city.
He arranged this business trip so that he could drop by so as not to arouse suspicion from his family.
"Okay, I got it." When Meredith heard that he was coming to find her, her heart was sweet.
...
The next morning, Meredith went to the hospital to see her mother as usual.
Just as she was doing her routine nursing work, someone knocked on the door. "You are Miss Mason, Meredith, aren't you?"
A young man with glasses walked in. "I'm a professional massager sent by Mr. Xavier."
That being said, the man flashed a meaningful smile after introducing himself.
Meredith didn't pay much attention. Hearing what he said, she quickly stood up and wiped her hands. "Did he send you here?"
The man nodded. "I made the plan for Mr. Xavier's recovery, so he asked me to come here and help you."
When Meredith heard this, a smile appeared on her face. Derek had been in the hospital bed for several years and was still in good health because of the meticulous care of the Xaviers.
Meredith originally wanted to ask him to find a massager, but thinking that Derek was so busy now, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to afford that fee, so she had to put it aside temporarily. She did not expect that Derek had already thought of this step and helped her find this person.
That man was really more considerate than she thought.
Meredith was touched and felt sweet. She invited the man over with a smile. "Thank you for your coming."
