Was that Derek?
Meredith walked over. However, the man was tall with long legs, and his footsteps were much faster than hers. Soon, he was gone.
Meredith didn't catch up. In the end, she just shook her head. It must be just an illusion. Why was Derek here? He should be busy preparing for the wedding with Chloe, right?
Thinking about it, Meredith smiled at herself self-deprecatingly. It was useless to think about those. Instead, it was better to think about how to live a good life in the future.
The day passed quickly.
Meredith followed the nurse who was off work to visit the room. To her surprise, the price of the house was quite acceptable. It was clean and tidy without the problems she had imagined. Besides, it had everything. Also, it was not the sort of house that was within her budget.
"Well, is the price correct?"
Meredith held the rental agreement and looked incredulous. She always felt that it was not her turn to encounter such a good thing.
The landlord nodded quickly and his smile even tinged with eagerness. This morning, a man found him and asked him to rent the house to a woman. As long as he could manage it well, the man would give him a better house.
At first, he was skeptical, but he didn't expect that the man was telling the truth and gave him a house...
How could he refuse such a good thing?
"This isn't a haunted house, is it?" Meredith looked at it, but it didn't appear so. Still, the price really didn't convince her. After all, she couldn't have any problems giving birth here.
"Of course not."
The landlord found out all the photos from his family to prove that the house was fine. Meredith looked through them carefully before finally becoming relieved and signing them.
Meredith was relieved that she had finally solved a major problem. The landlord handed her the key and left.
"You can rest here. You can call me if you need anything."
The nurse saw that everything was arranged and left after a few words of concern.
Meredith nodded, lost in her thoughts with a pillow in her arms. She looked at the clean and warm house, and touched the baby that was still moving in her stomach. "Baby, do you think mommy is finally a little lucky? Maybe god is still fair..."
Meredith felt a little tired, so she went upstairs and found the bedroom.
...
It was late at night, and the streets were getting more and more empty. Not far from where Meredith was, a black car slowly stopped.
Obviously, the car was expensive. However, it was too late for people to notice the situation outside.
"Everything is done." The nurse and landlord stood in front of the car and respectfully reported the progress to the people inside.
"Good."
The car window slowly rolled down, and a handsome face appeared. Derek gave the two documents to them, who looked at each other in surprise. "Thank you, Mr. Xavier."
"Sir, do you want to go back?"
Damian looked at Derek thoughtfully. On this day, although Meredith did not know about it, Derek had already arranged all aspects of her life properly. He, as an outsider, saw it clearly.
