Chapter 629
Chapter 629
After a long time, Meredith slowly let go of Easton. "I'm fine. I just have heard something I never knew."
Meredith looked at the worried Easton and forced a smile.
After all, she had trusted Parker so much, but now she was told that he might have approached her just
to atone for his sins. Her feelings were mixed.
Easton nodded when he heard what Meredith had said, but he was still concerned.
After considering for a while, he called Derek and told him about it.
Derek was shocked when he heard about it. "Were they discover that I pretend to be hurt?"
He thought for a while and felt that he must do something, so he asked someone to send him to the
place where Meredith was staying.
Downstairs, Derek considered for seconds. Instead of going straight in, he picked up a few small rocks
to knock on the window.
Meredith, who lived on the second floor, was in a daze. She was even more upset when she heard the
sound of the window being knocked on. She thought it was a child who was messing with her. She was
going to open the window to give a warning but found Derek standing downstairs.
Meredith frowned at once and went down immediately even did not change her clothes.
As soon as she got downstairs, she couldn't help but complain, "What's wrong with you? You were
injured and now it's evening. You think you have recovered and you are fit, right?"
"Did you hear of something today?"
Derek asked directly.
Meredith hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I'm sorry."
Derek suddenly apologized. "Actually, my hand isn't that serious. As long as it's treated properly, it'll be
fine in a while.
The only reason I said that to the public was that I made a bet with my mother. We agreed that I would
marry someone who would accept me at a time like this. As you know, you were the only one who
stayed. "
When Meredith heard this, she didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
She was happy that Derek's hand was fine and he was healthy. She was angry that she was fooled by
him without knowing anything.
But she didn't expect that the joy in her heart was more than anger.
After seeing so many illnesses and death, Meredith now felt that as long as people were healthy, there
was still hope.
Seeing that Meredith did not leave immediately, Derek was overjoyed. Then, he knelt on one knee and
took out a ring. "I know I am wrong. I want to use my life to make up for it. I don't know if you want to."
Derek said solemnly. He had secretly bought the ring, but it was not given to Meredith all the time. He
originally wanted to design a grand proposal ceremony before proposing.
However, he was worried that Meredith would get angry and leave him alone, so he had to make it
now.
"Right now, there may not be any romantic proposal ceremony, but with my sincere heart, I will be
willing to give you any ceremony in the future..."
The more Derek spoke, the less confidence he had.
The man, who was usually confident, really didn't have the same kind of dominance when it came to
romantic relationships.
Meredith looked at the man kneeling on one knee. He was looking up at herself. She could see the
sincerity and hope in his eyes.
"You stand up."
Meredith lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes hid the emotions in her eyes. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Derek hesitated for a moment and got up. He didn't want to push her on this matter.
"I can't say yes so hastily, but..."
Meredith's refusal upset Derek, but when he heard that she said a but, his eyes lit up with hope again.
"You once said to let me trust you. Thus, the lie you just told me was the last lie between you and me.
Can you promise?"
Derek nodded without any hesitation. "Of course."
"In that case, I promise to give you a chance to begin again. In the future, I will not look at your every
move with prejudice, and I will treat you as a new person."
After hearing this, Derek was ecstatic.
He never thought that Meredith would say so. He was confident to let Meredith forget the unhappiness
of the past, which meant that she would let go of the past.
"Why did you suddenly change today..."
After Derek and Meredith finished speaking, he guessed that he was wrong just now. He was afraid the
news that made Meredith so confused had nothing to do with himself.
He really wanted to know what it was that changed her so much.
Meredith hesitated and told Derek what Jenny had said.
"I just suddenly felt that maybe I didn't know the whole world and the people around me, so I said I
wanted to know you again."
Meredith was so emotional. She had no hatred for Parker, because that man had paid too much for her
although he was just making up for it. She could not hate him, but she found it difficult to face him.
"At first, I thought he approached you for revenge. I didn't expect there were so many deeper reasons."
Derek was also very emotional after hearing it. He originally hated the culprit who made him in a coma
for three years.
But knowing that Parker's past was caused by his mother and that it was so tragic, he had no intention
of pursuing it.
"In fact, he's a poor man."
Derek shook his head. It was not fair that he avenged his mother on Derek.
"It's strange that you stand by his side."
Meredith looked at the man in surprise. Wasn't this man always at odds with Parker?
"I used to think of him as my rival in love, and he always used you to provoke me. Now that I hear what
you have said, I'm just saying something fair. Let's not talk about it. What are you going to do?"
Meredith thought for a moment. "I don't blame him. What's past is past. I think he is repenting now. I
just want to see him and get things off the ground."
Derek hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I agree, but I want to go with you."
Meredith wanted to refuse, but Derek was determined, besides, he was also affected by these things,
so she agreed.
The next day, they went to find Parker.
Parker had just woken up from a hangover when he saw Meredith. He immediately ran over. "Mer?
Why are you here?"
He thought that Meredith would never see him again after getting back together with Derek.
Meredith saw the joy in his eyes and bit her lower lip. "I have known everything, Parker, about why you
helped me so much, about your deal with Ava..."
Hearing this, Parker, who was still a little drunk, was fully sober.
He saw Jenny on the side. "You said that?"
Parker's voice and eyes were murderous and icy.
"Don't blame her. You can keep it a secret for a while. Can you keep it for the rest of your life?"
Meredith said faintly.
Parker had no idea how to face her. He grabbed Meredith's shoulders. "Mer, I..."
Meredith interrupted him. "Let me say first. I don't blame you, Parker. Really, even though you did
something wrong in the past, you're still my friend."
"I don't blame you, even though you almost killed me."
Derek had been watching them from a distance. When he saw Parker getting a little emotional, he
came over and said.
"Derek?"
"You put me in a coma for three years. I know all the circumstances. Don't worry, I won't take revenge
on you, just think of it as me paying for my mother's sins back then."
Parker was surprised to hear this.
They were used to being at loggerheads, so he did not expect Derek to say that.
"But, I won't leave Meredith to you."
Derek shrugged. Maybe it was a long time ago that he could say it in such a calm tone now.
Parker narrowed his eyes. "I will win her by myself."
When Meredith heard this, she was speechless. "What is going on? Why did they talk about me
again?" She thought.
"If you want to talk about this boring topic, forget it. But, Parker, I really don't blame you for what
happened back then. We are still friends."
With that, Meredith turned and left. Seeing this, Derek quickly chased after her.
Parker looked at her back. "Friend..."
In fact, he could see that Meredith's feelings were nothing more.
He lost to Derek in the end, but unexpectedly, he was not as sad as he thought.
Meredith was walking fast in front of Derek, and he followed behind her, not as cold as usual, but rather
as loyal as a dog.
They walked a long way.
"Mer, when will we apply for our marriage license?"
"Let's wait until everything is settled."
Meredith was not in a hurry about this at all. After all, there was still the matter of the Smith family that
remained unresolved.
Hearing this, Derek gave a bitter smile resignedly.
He knew he would get such an answer, but he was not disappointed. He took two quick steps and
grabbed Meredith's hand."Then I will accompany you for the rest of my life. Also, I will resign myself to
your guidance."
The end.
