Seeing Amelia struggling to kneel down, Nolan remained unmoved. "It's useless for you to kneel down and beg me now. I'm just following orders. The only thing you can do now is to actively receive treatment here and not let Meredith's painstaking efforts go to waste."
"the Xaviers... How could the Xaviers be so ruthless, how could they do this to my daughter?"
Amelia understood that it would make no difference no matter what she said now. She pounded on the bed and couldn't help but cry. She blamed herself for getting into the current situation. She might as well have died from the illness, so she didn't have to drag Meredith down.
Now, where was her daughter? Would the Xaviers do anything bad to her? Amelia was tortured by these thoughts, her eyes red, and she almost lost her mind.
Nolan took a look at her and called the doctor to inject Amelia with the medicine to make her fall asleep.
As an assassin trained by the Leslies from a young age, having seen all the deaths happening in the hospital, he was already numb to this. For him, Amelia's response was more bewildering than moving.
They would be fine if they just did what was told, but they had to struggle like a wild animal trapped in a cage. Resisting would only bring more pain. Why did the mother and daughter never understand?
Nolan glanced at Amelia again. "You guys keep an eye on her. Don't let anything happen to her. If she wakes up unstable, continues to inject sedatives, and then use nutrient solutions to maintain her basic life needs."
Nolan left the hospital after giving a cold order.
This job, for no reason, annoyed him. He only hoped that the marriage between the Xaviers and the Bennetts would end as soon as possible, lest he might continue to do this kind of thing.
...
Time passed quickly, and the day of the Xaviers and the Bennetts's engagement soon arrived.
For the engagement ceremony, the two families did everything they could. Not only did they invite all the relevant parties to witness it, but they also contacted the local media to make the ceremony a headline.
Derek woke up early, but he was not in a hurry to change into the suit. Instead, he was staring blankly at the custom-made dress.
What the hell was he doing? Meredith was still missing, and he was actually going to be engaged to Chloe with a fake smile on his face.
It shouldn't be like this...
Derek lost control and slammed the vase on the table onto the ground with a loud, piercing sound.
Violet was trying on her dress. But when she heard the noise, she rushed over and saw that Derek had not changed, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
"Derek, why haven't you changed? There are so many guests waiting for you to go down. You can't make a scene now even if you're in a bad mood."
Violet took the clothes personally. "Damian came in, you keep an eye on the young master and help him change."
Knowing that the person Derek trusted the most was Damian, Violet specifically called him back.
"Damian?"
Derek frowned deeply and watched Damian appear in front of him. After Violet left, he said, "Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to look for Meredith abroad?"
Damian looked at Derek confusedly. "Boss, didn't you say you wanted to handle this on your own after I reported it to you?"
Damian was originally on standby abroad, but seeing that Derek had not acted and the engagement ceremony had been carried out in an orderly manner, he thought that Derek decided to give up Meredith and did not want to have any conflict with the other elders of the Xaviers for her.
Since Derek had made his decision, Damian naturally wouldn't say otherwis. After all, he was just an outsider. Even if he was worried about Meredith, he couldn't interfere with the Xaviers family affairs
"Report?" Derek quickly realized something. "What did you report? Show me!"
