Chapter 611
Derek heard Easton's words, but he didn't jump into action as quickly as Easton thought.
On the contrary, he seemed overly calm.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Easton suddenly had a bad feeling.
Derek couldn't tell what was going on either. Maybe it was because he had talked to Meredith many
times in the past few days, but she turned him down every time.
Now, he didn't know how to say it.
If he talked to Meredith again and got the same answer, then he really had no hope at all.
Therefore, the man who had always been fearless had some concerns at the moment.
Perhaps it was because he cared so much about her that he was so concerned.
When Easton saw that Derek was silent, he suddenly became nervous. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
What was going on? They were on the verge of reconciliation, but neither of them wanted to take a
step forward.
It would be a pity if they missed each other like that.
The more Easton thought about it, the more he was convinced there was something fishy about it. He
touched his chin and suddenly came up with an idea.
Anyway, he must help them. Even if he lied, they wouldn't be angry, would they?
Derek did not notice Easton's change. Derek looked at the snow-white wall and seemed to be lost in
his thoughts.
After Easton came up with the idea, he was not in the mood to waste time here. Moreover, he knew
that the person his father wanted to see most now was not him, but his mother.
"Dad, have a good rest then. I'll go back first. Don't worry. I'll find a way to get mom to come and see
you."
After that, Easton ran away in a hurry.
Derek looked at his back and couldn't help shaking his head. This kid talked like a grown-up.
Easton returned to the hospital. Meredith had just come out of Amelia's ward.
Ellie came to visit Amelia today. Meredith left, so that Amelia could talk to her long-lost daughter.
As soon as Easton left the house, he cried and threw himself into Meredith's arms.
Meredith was shocked.
Easton had high self-esteem. He wouldn't be like this if something serious hadn't happened.
"Easton, what's wrong?" Meredith immediately asked worriedly.
Easton just went to see Derek. Why did he come back like this?
Could something have happened to Derek?
But Easton didn't say anything and kept crying. His strange behavior made Meredith very anxious.
"Easton, what's going on? Don't cry. Tell me what's wrong. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to help
you."
Meredith was flustered by Easton's cries.
Easton felt guilty when he heard Meredith's anxious voice. Of course, nothing had happened to him.
The reason why he was crying so sadly now was that he had just steeled himself to eat a tube of
mustard, and tears were streaming down his face.
However, thinking that if Meredith and Derek divorced, he would become a child with a single-parent,
and maybe he would be bullied and abused like Fiona, he held back his guilt and continued to cry.
Easton cried for a while and stopped. "Mom, I heard from the doctor that dad hurt his hand pretty bad.
The nerve has been damaged and there might be a sequela."
Hearing this, Meredith was stunned.
She had always thought that Derek's injury was not serious, so she could stay here at ease.
Now that she heard Easton's words, she felt restless and unsettled.
Even ordinary people couldn't accept such things, not to mention Derek, who had always been proud.
"Easton, what's going on? What did the doctor say? What kind of sequela will he have?"
Easton lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes. "The doctor said dad might not be able to
use his injured arm like a normal person in the future, but he hasn't told dad yet. I don't know what will
happen if dad finds out."
After Meredith heard Easton's words, her hand trembled slightly.
He couldn't use his arms like a normal person? Would he be disabled?
Meredith's heart ached at the thought of what had happened to Derek, who had always been very
demanding of himself.
Only then did she realize that she had never completely got over Derek.
Seeing Meredith's expression, Easton felt that his plan worked. Obviously, when Meredith heard the
news, she was very anxious and worried about Derek.
"I don't know what to do either. I just hope dad is okay."
After Easton finished his words, he wiped his tears and left.
Meredith bit her lower lip, her eyes darkening.
Hearing what Easton said, she immediately wanted to go over and ask if Derek's injury was really that
serious.
However, she had said so many heartless things to him not long ago.
Meredith hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't make up her mind.
At this moment, Ellie came out of Amelia's ward and saw Meredith standing in the hallway with a
troubled face. "What's wrong, Meredith? Why do you look so worried? Is there something wrong with
the surgery?"
Hearing this, Meredith immediately shook her head. "No, it has nothing to do with that..."
Ellie was relieved when she heard this. Then, seeing that Meredith was still absent-minded, she said,
"If you have anything you want to do, just do it. I'll stay here. You can rest assured."
"I'm not worried about my mom, but..."
Meredith trusted Ellie completely. "There's something going on with Derek."
She could not make up her mind right now, so she would rather say it out and listen to other people's
opinions.
Hearing this, Ellie glanced at Meredith, encouraging her to say it.
"Let me be frank with you. Although Evelyn has been running after that man with all kinds of means
recently, he has not been tempted at all. He has been waiting for you to be with him. Such infatuated
men are rare nowadays.
I heard he's hurt now. If you're still worried about him, you can go and see him. Don't wait until you've
lost him for good. Then it will be too late."
