Chapter 596
Easton had thought that Fiona had gotten food poisoning after eating what he had bought. But after
hearing the words just now, he now thought the cause was the medicine that had been prepared for
Derek. She might take that by accident.
"Mom, I'm sure she didn't touch anything in the ward."
In fact, Meredith also found it very strange. After all, Fiona had always been very obedient and smart.
She should not be so silly to drink the liquid medicine.
"That means..."
A terrible and bold guess popped up. "Did someone put anything in your food?"
Easton also made such a guess, and he immediately remembered that Evelyn was standing in front of
them, looking sneaky.
But at that time, he didn't think too much.
"Maybe it's Evelyn."
Easton suddenly lowered his voice. "Fiona and I went out together for a while. When we came back, I
saw her standing beside the table with a slightly awkward expression, but I didn't think of this at the
time!"
When Meredith heard this, she clenched her fist and squatted down. "Easton, are you sure?"
If Evelyn really did so, Meredith wouldn't spare her.
Evelyn was most likely going to do drug the two children, but somehow, Easton was fine, but Fiona
wasn't that lucky.
If this was true, it could only mean that this woman was so vicious that she wanted to hurt two five-
year-old children.
Meredith had always been a good-natured person. If things were not serious, she would not take to her
heart. But the child was the most important part of her life. She would never spare anyone who dared
to do anything to her child.
She thought for a moment. "We will immediately transfer to another hospital. I can't let Fiona stay here
any longer. She might do it again."
Easton heard this and nodded. "You're right, mom."
After that, she immediately went to the doctor and said that she wanted to transfer Fiona to another
hospital.
Now that Fiona was out of danger, the transferred formalities were quickly completed.
She sent Fiona to the hospital she frequented to keep Fiona safe.
After finishing the formalities, she couldn't help but look at the ward upstairs.
She wondered if Derek was awake.
"Mom, let's go upstairs and see dad."
After finishing Fiona's things, Easton remembered what he was here for.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt guilty. He had promised to wait for his father to wake up, but
this happened.
Meredith had always wanted to avoid seeing Derek. But when she saw how depressed Easton was,
she couldn only say, "Okay, let's go take a look. Your father will be fine."
Easton nodded. She took the elevator holding his hand and they went to the VIP floor where Derek
was. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
As soon as they entered, they saw Evelyn sitting by the bed, her eyes glued at Derek.
Seeing this scene, Meredith felt a pain in her heart.
Then, she thought of what the doctor had just said to Easton, and she became wary of this woman.
Easton saw Evelyn's nonchalant expression and looked at her angrily. With all clues, he was sure that
Evelyn must have put drug in his food.
Evelyn saw Easton's expression and felt guilty for no reason. With another glance, she noticed the little
girl wasn't with them.
"Did she drink the milk tea with drugs in it?"
"It wouldn't be so coincidental that she's allergic to drugs. Was she really dying now?"
Thinking of this, Evelyn's face gradually turned pale. She didn't even ask Meredith why she ran over
here again. Instead, she said that she had a stomachache and left quickly.
Meredith watched her leaving in a hurry, and she was certain that she drugged the two children.
Evelyn must be guilty! Otherwise, with her overbearing and unreasonable character, she would not be
nice to Meredith when she saw her here.
"Mom, there must be something wrong with her."
Easton said with certainty.
"Well, we have to wait for an opportunity to find evidence."
Meredith replied, "Go and see your father. He should be waking up soon."
Easton nodded and walked over.
She followed. At that moment, she noticed that the quilt on Derek had slipped down a little. She
immediately walked over and pulled the quilt up.
After seeing he seemed to be fine, she was relieved and was about to leave. The man on the bed's
eyelashes trembled a few times and opened his eyes slightly.
Cough, cough.
Derek coughed a little. Because of the anesthetic, he was still a little confused, but his intuition told her
that the person who was taking care of him was Meredith.
"Mer, is that you?"
He spoke with difficulty. He did not know whether he was dreaming or whether Meredith was really
here.
But if it was a dream, he hoped it would last forever.
Meredith didn't know how to answer. She subconsciously wanted to run, but just as she was about to
leave, she heard him started coughing.
"I want some water."
His voice was very low and husky. He had not drunk water for more than ten hours, and his lips were a
little dry and cracked.
She hesitated for a moment. She then stopped and opened a bottle of mineral water.
She saw him lying on the bed so weak that he needed someone to take care of him. She really couldn't
turn around and leave.
It was just that he just had the operation, so he couldn't drink water at this time. She could only wet his
lips with a cotton swab.
"You can't drink water yet. I'll give you a little water to moisten your throat. You'll have to endure for a
few more hours until the doctor permitted."
Meredith said as she wiped his lips with water.
Derek did not speak, just felt the woman's movements. Her every move was very gentle, without the
recent cold and resistance, as if they had returned to the best period of their relationship.
Meredith felt the same. She focused on taking care of him and seemed to have forgotten that they had
just experienced such a fierce argument two days ago.
Just as they felt that they seemed to go back to their happy life before, Evelyn came back.
Seeing that Derek was awake and Meredith was taking care of him, Evelyn was furious and dragged
her out.
"Meredith, what are you doing? You promised not to stay close to him! But I waited for him to wake up
the whole night, and now you show up when he just awakes?"
Meredith was in no mood to talk to her because of Fiona being poisoned.
"I'll keep my promise. If Fiona hadn't been poisoned, I wouldn't have come here."
