Amelia said expressionlessly, "I'll take you to see Meredith's tombstone. After that, please get out of here. I don't want to see your face again."
Derek clenched his fist, his arm trembling involuntarily because of the force. "Tombstone?"
Amelia smiled coldly, pushed the wheelchair, and gave Derek an address, which was a remote cemetery.
Derek looked at the place on the paper. He wanted to tear the damn thing apart. He had been waiting for so long. However, he didn't expect to wait for such news...
How could Meredith really die?
"Why, didn't you say you were going?"
Amelia saw that Derek's hand was trembling. He showed no sympathy and his tone was still cold.
Derek gritted his teeth. "You're lying to me. You don't want me to find her. You're lying on purpose, aren't you?"
"Don't you know when you go?"
Amelia didn't say much. Derek clenched the steering wheel in his hand, slammed the accelerator, and sped to the top of the road, heading for his destination.
He didn't believe it was true...
But Amelia's look made him nervous.
For the first time in his life, Derek drove at this near-death speed to that location.
As the cemetery caught his sight, Derek slammed on the brakes.
A screeching brake sounded, and the car did not stop immediately. After slipping three or four or five meters, it finally stopped. Because of the intense friction, the wheels even emitted smoke.
Derek did not stop. He pushed open the door and ran towards the depressing place.
It was a very ordinary cemetery, where no one came to worship on weekdays. So it was cold, silent, and looked bleak.
The caretaker of the cemetery saw a luxury car coming and greeted it with some trepidation. "May I ask..."
"Is there a tombstone for Meredith here?" Derek grabbed the man by the collar and asked with gritted teeth.
The guard was frightened by Derek's eyes. He had an illusion that if he nodded, the man in front of him would tear him apart.
"Meredith... I... Remember there was..."
However, he did not dare to lie. This person in front of him could not be offended at first sight.
Derek heard an answer he didn't want, and angrily threw the man on the ground. He rushed into the cemetery and looked around at the tombstones.
It was a black and white photo, looking cold. It made people feel depressed.
Derek felt as if his heart had been sunk into an icy sea. As the tombstones were swept by him, he could hardly breathe.
Finally, he saw a familiar face.
It was a black and white photo of Meredith.
Derek looked at the photo and felt as if he had been struck by lightning, unable to move.
Meredith in that photo was still smiling. It seemed that the photo was taken when she was still a student. Back then, She had not experienced the pain and suffering, and there was still some naivety in her eyes.
That smile was as beautiful as a lily blooming quietly. Sadly, such a picture was printed on her tombstone.
