Chapter 588
She took the two children to the fast food restaurant. But Meredith was unable to immerse herself into
the happy atmosphere even though she was with these cute children.
Whenever she thought of Derek's expression today and the words he said to her, she felt heartbroken.
After all, he was the person she had loved so deeply...
Perhaps, even now, her feelings for him had not changed.
...
After having dinner, Meredith brought them home. After a while, the private investigator she found sent
her a file.
It was information about Fiona's mother.
The woman's name was Lydia. Meredith looked at the photo and saw that she was indeed a very
beautiful woman. Her appearance was no worse than those celebrity models she had seen before.
Now, she had been married to a rich family, and had a pigeon pair. She led the life that everyone would
envy.
Meredith frowned.
She was not sure if this woman would take her daughter away.
The reason why she was so anxious to find this woman was that Meredith was afraid that they would
find her again. If only she stood out and cope with it, those people would not have given up.
"Forget it, I'll just ask her about it."
Meredith took out her cell phone and wrote down the number. Perhaps there was something unknown
about the woman leaving her daughter.
Meredith didn't call her directly but sent a message. "Your daughter is abused by her family now. If you
want to pick her up, please contact me."
After sending the message, Meredith put the matter aside for the time being. If Lydia didn't reply to her
in two days, she would go to find her.
After doing this, Meredith was free, but when she had nothing to do, she would think of Derek.
Meredith couldn't help scratching her hair and trying to get those scenes out of her mind, but she
couldn't make it.
In the end, she had no choice but to take out the paper and pen and start drawing the design.
These days, she had been running around looking for Fiona's mother and hadn't painted for a long
time. She didn't know if her drawing ability had declined.
Immersed herself in the drawing, Meredith gradually calmed down...
...
The next day.
Meredith opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep on the desk. She had been working
non-stop last night, trying to get rid of all the sad things in her head. Unexpectedly, she was so tired
that she fell asleep here.
Meredith smiled bitterly and looked at the designs on the table. Every one of them was filled with
depression and sadness. The colors she used were not as bright and cheerful as her previous designs.
Instead, they were all cold colors, looking very desert and impersonal.
Meredith looked down and put away the drawing paper. It seemed that she was really not in the mood
for drawing. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Someone once said that the best part of her design was that it was full of human feelings and
emotions, but now, there was nothing of them in her drawing.
Looking at the time, she realized that it was time for Easton to go to school. Meredith sighed and got up
to wake them up.
After Easton was woken up, he looked sleepy. "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you call me up
so early?"
"What's wrong? You're going to school." Meredith thought Easton didn't want to go to school again and
couldn't help but get serious.
"But today is Saturday..." Easton looked helpless.
Meredith froze and looked at the calendar on the wall. Oh, it was indeed Saturday. She was out of her
mind that she forgot the days of the week.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? I feel like something's wrong with you."
Easton asked worriedly. From yesterday until now, he felt that something was wrong, but Meredith
refused to say it.
"Nothing, just a little tired."
Meredith shook her head. "Since it's the weekend, you just rest at home for one day."
After that, Meredith walked out.
Easton was awakened and couldn't sleep, so he came out and knocked on Fiona's door.
Fiona had already gotten up. Not only was she up, but she had also folded the quilt neatly and was
reading a book.
Seeing her like this, Easton felt a lot of pressure in his heart. She worked so hard. In comparison, he
was so lazy.
"Wow, you actually folded your quilt. I can't even do that."
Easton had someone serving him since he was a child to help him do everything. He didn't know how
to do the household chores at all.
"Well, I just don't think it's good to mess up your house."
Fiona said shyly.
When she was at home, she would be beaten if she messed up the room, so she developed this habit.
Seeing that both children were up, Meredith began to make breakfast.
After breakfast, Easton and Fiona went back to their room to play. Easton was holding his cell phone
and glancing over the news of the day.
A piece of news about Derek made him shudder.
"The president of the Xavier Group was in an accident because something suddenly fell at the
construction site. The situation is unknown now!"
Easton was in a panic. Although he usually looked like he didn't care about anything, this was the first
time he felt anxious.
Easton immediately went to Meredith with his cell phone. "Mom, mom, something's wrong."
Meredith was tired and was about to take a break when she heard Easton's anxious voice and
immediately sat up. "What's wrong?"
Easton showed her the video on his phone.
It was a video taken by a mobile phone. The picture quality was not high. All she could see was Derek
following a man with a helmet. It looked like he was inspecting. After the two of them walked a few
steps, a piece of building material suddenly fell from the roof and smashed in the direction of where
Derek stood.
Then, the scene was a mess, and the whole video stopped abruptly.
Meredith's face turned pale.
She immediately took out her cell phone and called Derek, but no one answered.
Her heart was pounding like it was about to jump out. After thinking about it, she immediately called
Damian.
However, she couldn't get through him either.
Perhaps it was because this accident happened so suddenly that everyone called them at the same
time and the line was busy.
Meredith bit her lower lip and thought about it. She guessed that Derek might receive treatment at the
hospital under the Xaviers. After all, it was a big deal. There was the only place where he could get the
best rest and protection.
"Easton, I know where your father is. Let's go."
Easton nodded. Meredith looked at Fiona. "Fiona, are you staying at home or are you going with us?"
"I'm going with you!" Although she didn't know what happened, she felt it must be very serious. Fiona
immediately asked to go with them. Even if she couldn't help, she could comfort Easton and aunt Mer.
