Seeing that Violet agreed, Derek immediately asked someone to secretly spread the news through the people around him.
Everyone was inquiring about his injuries, so everyone in the upper echelons of J City would know his situation soon.
By then, he would know who really cared about him.
"Mom, since you've agreed to my bet, I hope you don't talk to Evelyn and let everything go fairly."
When Violet heard that, she felt a little sad.
She didn't expect that she had become such a person in her son's eyes. Didn't she want him to find a woman who could really share weal and woe with him?
"Don't worry, I also hope that your wife is a good woman who can share weal and woe with you, so I won't do anything to interfere. But remember your promise that if Evelyn is still willing to be with you in this situation, you must marry her!"
Derek agreed without hesitation.
The reason he was so resolute was because he was sure that Evelyn's feelings for him were not that deep.
Seeing that Derek was so forthright, Violet did not say anything more. She put down the thing in her hand and left.
Derek lay on the bed and closed his eyes, deep in thought.
It was indeed a gamble. If he lost, he would lose his life's happiness, but he was still willing to try.
At the very least, he wanted to know if Meredith's feelings for him were that deep.
...
The next day, Amelia woke up on the hospital bed.
Meredith and Song Ellie stood by her bed and almost cried with joy when they saw her wake up.
But they didn't dare to say anything casually but immediately called the doctor in for an examination.
After the doctor finished the examination, a smile appeared on his serious face.
"The operation is successful. As long as you take a good rest, you will probably be discharged soon."
Hearing this, three people finally stopped being so nervous.
Tears welled up in Amelia's eyes. She was free to move around now.
"Mom, you're finally getting better. That's great." Meredith couldn't help but say happily.
Ellie wanted to call her mother, too. She had always wanted to call her own mother, but now they still didn't recognize each other, so she had to hold back.
Meredith noticed her expression and immediately understood something.
But now that Amelia had just woken up, Meredith was too afraid to tell the truth to provoke her, so she had to hold back for the time being.
After a while, Ellie said she was going out to buy something, and Meredith immediately followed her.
