"I'm sorry, Parker, but the situation back then wasn't as simple as you think. I just..."
"Forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore, Mer. I'll continue to arrange for you to go abroad. As long as you change your mind, look for me immediately, and I'll wait for you."
Parker didn't want to listen anymore. Anyway, Meredith would only continue taking Derek's side.
Meredith grew more and more upset as she heard this. She watched Parker leave angrily, then she lowered her head and remained speechless.
She decided to stay, and her decision would upset Parker the most, because he had been arranging all the immigration procedures for her.
But...
Since she had already made up her mind, she could not regret it.
Meredith stayed outside for a while longer, calmed down, and returned to the ward.
Seeing Meredith coming back, Amelia remembered something. "Where's Parker, Mer? He just called and said he was coming and he was downstairs. Why isn't he here yet?"
Meredith was embarrassed when she heard this. "He... He has something to do. He's going back first."
However, Amelia knew Meredith's character well. After hearing her mumble for so long, Amelia immediately understood something. "You quarreled with him? Mer, I told you that Parker was a good man. Don't break his heart."
Hearing this, Meredith couldn't help but sigh. She didn't want to make Parker sad, but...
In the end, she could not accept him. Instead of keeping close contact with him, she might as well reject him as soon as possible because she could not give him wholehearted love.
Ellie sat aside, looking at the embarrassment on Meredith's face, and said, "Mom, why are you always trying to get Mer and Parker together? I don't think Mer has any feelings for that man."
Ellie had investigated Parker before, and she had found out that the man had experienced all sorts of things before. Having been a nobody, he had taken painstaking efforts to gain his status. Although he had a good reputation now, he was still a ruthless man.
However, what he showed to Meredith and her family was completely different. Ellie felt that he might have hidden a part of his personality.
If he really wanted to be in a relationship with Meredith, but he was not honest enough to even show his true self, then what was the point?
"Ellie, you're still young. Sometimes, feelings don't matter. I once suffered because I cared too much about my feelings."
Amelia felt disgusted at the thought of what Wesley had done.
