The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 108

Meredith was surprised. Why Damian...

However, she pretended not to care. "No, just a little tired."

Damian didn't know anything else he could say. He wanted to explain, but Meredith had already asked him to leave. "I'm tired and want to rest. You should leave now."

Since she was so stubborn, Damian had no choice. he thought it was better for one involved to solve the problem himself. "Then I won't bother you."

After leaving this place, Damian found Derek and told him about Meredith. Then, he decided to add one sentence all by himself, "Maybe Miss Mason still has a grudge about what happened on the roof that day."

Derek frowned. "When did you start to talk so much?"

Damian left helplessly. The feeling of being sandwiched between the two was truly uncomfortable.

Derek went through all Nova's formalities. After watching her get into the transfer car, he looked up at Meredith's location.

It seemed that he had not visited her for many days.

He heard that she didn't eat well again.

The man frowned when hearing the doctor's suggestion that she was still malnourished. He decided to visit her.

Derek pushed the door open. Meredith was watching TV. Now she had nothing to do here. So, she could only kill time in such a boring way.

"How's your health?" Even if Derek came to visit a patient, he still didn't speak one more word.

Meredith sneered in her heart when hearing his cold tone. It sounded like he was consolating his subordinates. He could not choose to visit her if he didn't want to see her. Why was he always so cold? She wouldn't feel warm at all even when hearing his consolation.

"Not bad. Anyway, I won't die."

Meredith's tone, too, sounded cold. There was a sense of disagreement in her words.

Derek almost lost his temper. But when he thought about what Damian had told him, he suppressed his anger. "That day, the reason I told those people that I chose to save her instead of you was that that gangster had a criminal record before. A man who doesn't keep his word won't do as I say. That's why I chose her instead of you. I want to protect you."

Meredith glanced at Derek. "If it was you, would you believe such explanation after being abandoned?"

Meredith instinctively didn't believe his words. Who knew it was an excuse by Derek or his real thought?

She no longer wanted to dwell on anything related to him.

"Do I need to lie to you?" This was the first time Derek had explained to anyone. Seeing Meredith was suspicious, he was unhappy.

"As you please."

With that said, Derek stood up. "Since you cherish your life so much, then you should eat well as the doctor says. Don't let anyone find you are malnourished again. At that time, others will think that I have abused you."

Derek left.

Meredith sat on the bed and watched him leave.

His words echoed in her mind.

Although she told herself not to believe every word of this man, after hearing his explanation, she was in a much better mood than before.

Did Derek choose the other woman, indeed, to protect her?

Meredith called Damian again. Damian was relieved to find that she was beating around the bush to ask him about that day.

The two of them were bickering. He was about to cry to death. He wanted to tell them the truth quickly, or else he would act as an errand boy to pass the message between them.

"If you don't believe his words, I can show you the information I found that day."

...

Meredith lay in bed for a while. Her phone wasn't ringing. Derek didn't reply.

She couldn't tell what it was like. After a long time, she muted her phone.

Why was she acting like a little girl who just expressed her love and was waiting for the result? She just said thank you. Why did Derek have to reply?

Annoyed and perplexed, Meredith couldn't sleep. She turned on the TV and watched the program.

Coincidentally, a dramatic soap drama was showing on TV.

The female protagonist on TV was a child who had only a mother but no father. Because she came from a single-parent family, she felt very inferior. When she went to school, she was laughed at by some children to be a wild child without a father. She was always bullied and discriminated against.

Meredith felt suddenly sad when she watched that the little girl holding her mother's hand and asked where her father was and that her mother looked speechless.

At first, she didn't want to keep this child. But now she wanted to keep it, she never thought much about it, at least not so far.

Now that she saw the drama, she suddenly realized that raising a child was not as simple as she thought.

If the child asked who his father was, how would she answer? In a family without a father, will the child be bullied or have a psychological disease?

These questions caused Meredith to fall into deep thought.

Especially... when Derek save her when she was in danger. Did it mean that he didn't hate her that much?

Thinking of this, Meredith didn't know what to do.

On the one hand, she was worried about the child's future. On the other hand, he was not sure what Derek's attitude towards the child was.
