"Mr. Xavier... Do you want to go through the discharge procedures?" The doctor looked at Derek, who was looking out in a daze. When he saw Meredith's face, he couldn't help but wonder.
He really didn't understand what this person was thinking. Derek was clearly very concerned, but he refused to show up. What was the story in it?
"Of course not." Derek glanced at the doctor. "How's her mother's condition?"
"The recovery is smooth, but it will take some time to consolidate."
Derek narrowed his eyes. "Then let her stay until she recovers. I'll pay for her medical expenses, but don't let her know that I did it, understand?"
It was difficult for the doctor to understand such a strange request. However, Derek had already stood up and said, "You can ask someone to go to the Xavier Group for a talk over the research funds that your hospital previously requested."
Hearing this, the doctor immediately made a response excitedly. That was an investment involving tens of millions of dollars, compared to which, Meredith's mother's treatment fee was nothing.
"Mr. Xavier, thank you very much. I will definitely treat this young lady's mother's illness and nothing will go wrong."
Hearing this, Derek nodded and looked at Meredith again. "Go ahead and do it. Remember, find a reasonable reason."
He couldn't show up now, so he could only watch her from afar.
Meredith was waiting outside, looking at the people coming and going. She had lost her patience and was about to find someone inside when the doctor came out. "Miss Mason, this is the case. Your mother's illness is at a critical stage. If she leaves now, even if doctor Leslie helps, without basic equipment, it will be difficult to achieve the best results."
Hearing this, Meredith was very disappointed. She did want her mother to stay in the top-end hospital for treatment, but she did not have the money. After she was separated from Derek, she could not afford the expensive medical expenses alone.
Although Derek did not say that she was going to be chased away, since she had already spoken out, she would not go back on her promise. No matter what, she could only start over again by breaking it clean.
"But even if I wanted to stay, I couldn't afford that."
As soon as Meredith finished speaking, the doctor patted his head. "If you can't pay the bill for now, you can pay it in installments."
"But... I'm still pregnant. And I'm afraid that I won't have a stable income for a long time."
Meredith was a little touched. She didn't expect those medical workers to be so responsible and considerate.
"It doesn't matter. After such a long time of contact, I know your personality well. I can also vouch for you as long as you pay back the money when you work."
Hearing this, Meredith hesitated. If she was allowed to pay back the money in the future, she could work hard to avoid transferring her mother out of the hospital.
"Okay. Thank you, doctor."
When Meredith heard this, she nodded and asked the doctor some more questions. Finally, she said solemnly, "In the future, I will pay for my mother's treatment alone. It has nothing to do with Derek. Don't use his money."
In the room, Derek could vaguely hear what Meredith said. When he heard this, he felt quite helpless.
Did this stupid woman really think that there were so many good people in the world who would help her unconditionally?
