Meredith shook her head, thinking it must be an illusion. It was impossible for a person who had been unconscious for three years to wake up just because she took care of him for a day and stayed with him on the bed for a night.
Besides, Meredith didn't want Derek to regain consciousness.
If Derek regained consciousness at this time, the Xavier Family would probably no longer need her anymore. By then, she, the person who was to blame for Derek's unconsciousness for three years, would either be sent back to prison or secretly disposed of because of the hatred that the Xavier Family had for her.
What's more, Derek had been in a coma for three years, and his life that was supposed to be promising was ruined. If he woke up, he would definitely not let the person who had made him end up like this get away with it.
So, Meredith didn't want Derek to wake up anyway. His recovery would be a nightmare for her.
But soon, Meredith was caught in another nightmare unawares.
For the next month, Meredith wiped Derek's body and learned to give him a massage. Apart from eating, she stayed by Derek's side almost around the clock.
Meredith had paid special attention to Derek's reaction during the massage. She noticed that Derek would not respond to her in any way whether she pinched him or she deliberately tickled him.
Until then, Meredith was finally able to confirm that what happened that morning was an illusion.
And she finally dropped her guard and went back to the bed instead of curling up on the sofa in the room at night.
The Xavier Family had a really comfy bed. Therefore, it was torture for her to sleep on the sofa while a comfy bed was well within reach.
After tucking herself in, Meredith nearly burst into tears when she lay on the comfortable bed and slept on the soft pillow with the warm quilts. She had not enjoyed such an easy and comfortable life for so long. It had been a long time since she ate and slept normally.
