The doctor thought it over and still found that Meredith's phone call was very suspicious. He told Derek about it while he came here for a routine examination.
"Mr. Xavier, someone who refused to tell me her name was asking me about the details of your injury. Maybe there was a hidden agenda."
Derek frowned slightly at his words.
He was recuperating. It was reasonable that people speculated about his physical condition, but the speculation had stopped recently. He didn't expect there would be another suspicious person inquiring about him.
"Give me the person's number."
Derek decided to have it checked. He regarded his injury as a chance to check out who was planning on taking over his position. He would get rid of them in time, preventing any trouble in the future.
The doctor nodded, wrote down the number on the paper, and handed it to Derek.
Derek took the paper. What he saw bemused him. His face was filled with disbelief.
There was no way that he would forget about this number. It was Meredith's phone number.
His strange expression made the doctor a little anxious. Could it be that this person really had some bad intentions?
"Are you sure you remember it right?"
Derek couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't even believe in Easton when he told him that Meredith really cared about him.
He knew his son well. The boy would make up anything to get them back together.
Derek didn't want to be rejected by her again, so he didn't take any action.
He had his pride as well, which stopped him from begging for Meredith's love after being rejected so many times.
However, the call from Meredith made him feel alive again.
"The number can't be wrong. I copied it from the phone."
The doctor shook his head and muttered to himself as he stared at Derek's face.
Why didn't Mr. Xavier look angry, but rather happy?
Who the hell was this woman on the phone? Why did Derek, who had always been as cold as ice, care about her so much?
"Okay, I see. Thank you."
The last shred of suspicion disappeared in Derek's heart when he heard this. He couldn't wait any longer to ask Meredith what was actually going on in her mind.
Fortunately, he still had some of his usual sanity. He remembered that Easton had promised to do something to help him.
He had to find out what was going on first in case the two of them would say something contradictory and make Meredith angry again.
With this thought, Derek called Easton first.
"Dad? Why did you call me? I was just thinking about visiting you tomorrow. Also, there's some good news I want to share with you. Grandma's surgery was successful. Maybe she'll wake up tomorrow."
It was unexpected good news. Derek was overjoyed to hear that. Meredith would no longer have to be so anxious about her mother. She could finally have a great rest.
However...
