Derek watched Meredith come out with the box in her hand and hurried forward.
"How is it? What did he say to you?"
Meredith looked at him. "He just said that I'm Cali's daughter, but he didn't know why the blood type didn't match. Maybe... the girl had an accident, or maybe she was hidden by the Smiths."
"Hidden..." Derek was very sharp and immediately noticed the anomaly.
Generally speaking, if there was no danger, one would not hide a person. Then, could Meredith's identity bring danger to him?
"I'm going to Capital City. I'm going to find that professor for Penelope to do the surgery. I also want to know what happened back then. I can't just take everything away from that girl..."
Meredith clenched her fist. This time, she had to go.
Seeing her expression, Derek nodded. "I'll go with you..."
Meredith shook her head. "No need. Since Damian is going too, I'll just go with him. There's no need to get so many people involved."
Hearing this, Derek could not help but raise his eyebrow. This woman now distanced herself from him so obviously. In her eyes, he was not even a better option than Damian.
Did she know what she might encounter on this trip? The Smiths was not an ordinary family. If a woman suddenly appeared in front of them and told them that she was Cali's daughter, even though she had physical evidence, she might not be believed.
"I must go, even if you don't agree."
Derek said with absolute certainty. Meredith couldn't do anything about it. "Fine. Whatever."
Derek would not easily be swayed by others' words.
"Then I'll go back and get ready. I'll send you home."
Meredith did not refuse. Derek drove her home.
Meredith immediately began to pack up and find herself something to do so that she could think less of the things she could not change for the time being.
Damian also went home to pack up after he had assigned the tasks.
Seeing this, his mother immediately asked him, "What's going on? Why are you packing? Are you going on a business trip again?"
These days, Damian stayed in the hospital with Penelope most of the time and dealt with some necessary work in the company for the rest of the time, so he spent little time at home.
His mother was naturally unhappy about his leaving.
"Yes, I have something to attend to."
Damian nodded, still thinking about Penelope.
In order to find a doctor to see Penelope as soon as possible, he booked the earliest flight tomorrow and had to leave early in the morning, so he was wondering if he should visit her later and tell her about it.
"Oh, why are you so busy with this job? The blind date I arranged for you last time was also disturbed. When can I have a grandson?"
Hearing his mother's words, Damian couldn't help but sweat. Now that his mother had nothing to do at home after retirement, she had been nagging him about getting married and having children, but how could he have the time to think about these things?
"I can't talk now. I still have some unfinished work in my company. I'll go."
Afraid of her nagging, Damian found a reason and ran away.
His mother watched his back as he left and shook her head helplessly. "This won't work out. I have to make an appointment with a few girls for him now. When he comes back, I'll send him on a blind date. Otherwise, he works outside all day long and does not care about his family at all."
Damian drove to the hospital without stopping and went straight to Penelope's VIP ward.
