Meredith looked at the woman in front of her. The woman had the expression of seeing a ghost. Meredith could understand why.
After all... She was already a dead person in the eyes of everyone else.
"I'm Amelia's daughter, Meredith. I didn't come back until now because I ran into some accidents."
Laura looked at the woman in front of her. She found that Meredith's expression was sincere. At least, she didn't see that Meredith hatched a sinister plot.
Or in other words, no one would impersonate an ordinary woman.
"You've been taking care of my mother these days. Thank you."
Meredith said sincerely. She, as Amelia's daughter, had not been around these days. It was the person in front of her that was taking care of her mother. Therefore, she naturally said to Laura politely.
"This is what I should do."
Laura hid the shock on her face and became expressionless as she was at ordinary times.
Although she was Amelia's nanny on the surface, in fact, she had been trained as a secret service agent and was not afraid to fight with others if it was necessary.
Originally, she was trained by Parker to do some important tasks, but later on, she was assigned to stay by Amelia's side. And protecting Amelia's safety became her only task now.
Laura did not know why Parker had this arrangement, and she even didn't want to do this. Being a middle-aged woman's nanny was a waste of his talent and capability.
But she vaguely heard that Amelia had a daughter who Parker loved. He did this to Amelia because that woman had already passed away and her death was deeply related to him.
Unexpectedly, the woman who was supposed to have been dead for five years had returned.
But for a moment, she did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Now, is he...okay?"
Meredith looked at Laura's complicated expression. But after thinking about it, Meredith still asked.
Laura glanced at her. "Ever since you died, he's been going crazy. He even thought about using the cards he had to fight against the Xaviers."
Meredith held her breath.
She knew that her death would cause a chain reaction, but if Parker sacrificed so much for her, she would only feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"But Jenny stopped him. After all, with his mental state and the strength in his hands back then, he was just throwing straws against the wind if he fought against the Xaviers."
"Where is he now? I've lost my memory for some reason, so I haven't contacted him, and he changed his contact information. I can't find a way to inform him. Can you give me his current number? I want to tell him that I'm fine. He doesn't need to feel guilty."
"He's doing something very important right now. Even I can only contact him occasionally. I'll tell him that you're alive."
Laura saw the anxiety on Meredith's face, but she did not give Meredith the contact information directly as Meredith thought.
Meredith was taken aback. She felt that the woman in front of her was unfathomable.
"I want to talk to him directly, can't I?"
"I'm afraid that knowing that you're still alive will distract him. What he's doing now is extremely important and he cannot be disturbed."
Laura said indifferently. Seeing that Laura had no intention to say at all, Meredith had no choice but to give up. "Then, thank you."
Laura nodded.
Meredith was about to say something when the nurse pushed the door open and walked into the ward. It seemed that the nurse was about to give Amelia an injection. Meredith sent her greetings to Laura and went into the ward to help.
Laura looked at Meredith's back and frowned.
Taking out her phone, Laura found an empty corner and called the number Parker left for her.
After Meredith's death, Parker was very depressed for a period of time. Later, Jenny came back from abroad and Laura did not know how Jenny enlightened Parker and made Parker walk out from depression.
