Freya took Derek upstairs, helped him to the bed, and went to the bathroom to get some water to wash up his face.
"You can leave now." Derek didn't want to stay with her anymore. The original aim to admit to letting her in was...
Now that he had achieved his goal, he did not want to see her again.
"Okay..." Freya saw that Derek's expression was strange. Instead of pestering him any longer, she left the place considerately. However, before she left, she took a deep look at the closed door.
She would come back again. Although she didn't believe in 'love at first sight' in the past, now... She felt as if she could not let go of this man.
Not only because of his outstanding appearance but also because of the fragility he had just shown, she could not ignore him.
Derek was the only one in the room. It was quiet and there was even a sense of deathly stillness, which made the man feel suffocated.
He had already drunk a lot of wine, but his mind was not dizzy, but it became much clearer.
And when he looked up and saw the sofa, he could imagine Meredith waiting for him here yesterday and fell asleep.
The scene was so peaceful and quiet, but in just one day, everything changed, just like he was awake from a dream.
Suddenly, the man seemed to remember something. He walked over and looked at a thermal box on the table. It had a plain appearance but was picked up by him as if it was a precious treasure.
It was Meredith who brought it yesterday. She forgot to take it away with her.
Derek opened it. The soup inside was already cold, but he could still smell a faint fragrance. The ingredients inside were very rich, which were all his favorite. It took a lot of effort to make it.
Derek suddenly felt a little pain in his eyes. He closed the lid and asked someone to reheat the food inside, but as he ate, he couldn't help but think wildly.
He wondered if that woman had gone back now.
Although she told him not to care about her, he still couldn't completely ignore her.
Thinking about it, Derek called Damian. "Has Meredith gone back yet?"
Damian had already fallen asleep. When he got the call, he looked at his watch and found it was already early in the morning.
"Miss Mason?" Damian thought for a while, "She said she went to see you. Isn't she at your place now?"
Derek stood up immediately, "What? She's not home yet?"
Just now, he was so shocked and angry that he didn't have anyone send her back. How could she go back so late, as a pregnant woman?
"I'll send someone to search her immediately." Damian also realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly got out of bed.
Derek became sober right away. He quickly got up and asked someone to check on Meredith's whereabouts from the video camera.
...
Meredith was alone and did not know how long she had been walking. In a foreign country, she was unfamiliar with the surroundings at all. And it was so late, she didn't see any public transportation at all, but only private cars passed by in front of her, without stopping at all.
Meredith laughed at herself. When she saw a trash can, she walked over without hesitation, tore up the report in her hand, and threw them in.
