Derek sat in the room without moving. The faint scent of blood was still in the air.
It was quiet outside since he threw everyone out.
Damian left to look for any sign of Meredith, though it was somewhat pie in the sky.
After all, it had been all cleaned up here, and it was an uninhabited island with no witnesses at all. It was also hard to figure out who did those things.
"Meredith, you'll be fine, definitely..." Derek looked at the blood on the wall.
the Xaviers had always been very cautious about these things. The blood must have been very dark so it couldn't be cleaned up and then was left here.
So, how much pain did she suffer and how much blood had she lost on the day she gave birth?
No one knew that. Derek felt as if his heart had been squeezed by something. In the empty room, he could do nothing but touch the wall.
"Meredith, it was my fault. Please come back..."
The man let out a wail of despair and his mournful cry echoed in the room.
...
What Derek did quickly reached Violet. In the past few days, she had thought that she could have breathed a sigh of relief since Easton had been brought back, and Meredith had disappeared, and the engagement ceremony had finally ended smoothly.
Unexpectedly, Derek found the uninhabited island and had asked others to look into the accident before.
Why did he pay so much attention on that woman?
Violet was quite unhappy.
Without taking a rest, she rushed to the uninhabited island where Derek was.
Violet hated that place to the extreme since it was there where the woman Violet hated the most had given birth to a child of the Xaviers.
Derek was sitting in the room where Meredith had given birth. He knew that the Xaviers would send someone here sooner or later. Now that the alliance of the Xaviers and the Bennetts by marriage had just started, he ran out and was nowhere to be seen. This would certainly arouse suspicion outside.
the Xaviers wouldn't look unconcerned, so someone would definitely come to him.
He needed an explanation, an explanation about Meredith.
When Violet arrived, it was already night.
There was a beautiful sunset in the sky, and its crimson color was as red as bright red blood. Violet felt a little nervous somehow.
It was hard for her to forget that day when she came here and the scene she saw. It was different from the successful birth she had given at the noble hospital. The scene when Meredith gave birth was simply tragic.
At the thought of the strong smell of blood, Violet still felt sick.
"Where is he?" Violet only wanted to bring him back as soon as possible. She planed to sell the island to others after she had completely wiped out the relevant traces. Thus the disgraceful memories would be wiped out as well.
"He is in the room."
Someone came out to lead Violet in.
Violet followed him in, but as she walked, the annoyance in her heart became more obvious because she was clearly taken to the room where Meredith gave birth.
Why was he there?
Violet was a little confused with a grim look. When she walked to the door of the room, the door was closed. It was quiet with no sound inside, but it was gotta rattle her nerves.
"Wait outside." Violet said coldly. "Don't let anyone near us."
Next moment, something in their talk might defame the Xaviers so she couldn't air the dirty laundry of the Xaviers in public.
"Yes."
Everyone retreated respectfully, and then Violet knocked softly on the door. "Derek, it's me."
