Chapter 617
In the hospital, Derek sat on the bed, looking through the newspaper.
Because of the news he released, almost everyone in J City knew that he was in predicament now.
Some people were waiting to look on, while others took the opportunity to get closer to the Xaviers.
However, Derek did not care about these people at all. The only person he cared about had not
reacted.
He couldn't help scratching his hair. Although he knew to be patient, he would always feel worried if
Meredith didn't say anything.
He thought he had to find a way to let Meredith know about this so that she wouldn't forget about him
while she was busy with other people's affairs.
Just as he was thinking, Mr. Xavier came in.
Old Master knew that it was unreal, but the news had already caused the stock price of Xavier Group to
fall, so he came to Derek to ask him what he was thinking.
There must be a time limit for this farce. He couldn't let Derek continue to kick up a row endlessly.
"So, Derek, did you get the answer you wanted?"
Derek shook his head, and Old Master sighed.
"Although you are in charge of the Xaviers now, I should also remind you that you can't do as you
please and bring harm to the Xaviers."
Derek looked at Mr. Xavier and said, "I've been paying close attention to the situation at the Xaviers all
the time. Although the stock price is going down, it's still stable. As for the losses caused during this
period, I'll make up for them in the future."
Hearing this, Old Master felt even more helpless.
Although he believed in Derek's ability, Derek would have to take much more energy to make up for
this loss in the future.
"Do you think it's worth it to pay such a huge loss for an answer?"
Derek didn't answer immediately. He thought for a while and said, "It's worth it. If I don't get an answer,
I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
"Well, in that case, it's up to you."
Hearing what Derek said, Old Master stopped trying to persuade him.
After all, Derek was his only grandson. As long as he lived happily, it was worth losing some money.
...
The news of Derek's injury not only spread around J City, but also spread to the Smith family in the
Capital City through the mouths of some talkative people.
Old Master Smith had never supported Evelyn to chase after Derek. Now hearing that Derek was This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
disabled, he immediately disagreed with their marriage.
He called Evelyn and said, "Evelyn, come back as soon as possible. You have to give Derek up right
way."
"Grandpa...You know about this too?"
Evelyn was also shocked to learn that Derek was seriously injured.
She did not expect that the perfect man she picked was flawed, and it was a flaw that couldn't be
ignored. It made her very uncomfortable.
After all, her originally thought that she would marry the best man. In that case, no matter where she
went, she would always have the honor, and she would be envied by all women.
But once that person was disabled...
Evelyn also hesitated.
"Although Derek is really good, he is now disabled. You are the daughter of Smith family, are you still
afraid that you can't find a better one? Don't make trouble for yourself."
Evelyn originally wanted to give up, and she immediately made up her mind when she heard Old
Master Smith's words. "Okay, grandpa, I'll give up, and I'll be back in two days."
Evelyn hung up the phone and started packing her suitcase.
At this moment, Violet called her.
Ever since Derek released the news, Evelyn, who had always come to the hospital, suddenly
disappeared.
At first, Violet persuaded herself that it was because Evelyn was busy, but she also understood it after
some time.
It was the same as Derek's words that Evelyn could only be willing to share weal with him, but was
unwilling to share his woe.
"Sorry, I have something to do at home, so I have to go back. As for Derek, I think the Xaviers can find
someone better to take care of him."
Evelyn had no longer wanted to pursue Derek, so she was no longer as cautious and respectful as
usual.
When Violet heard this, she could not help but get angry.
Even if her son really hurt his hand, it was just a small flaw. What did this woman mean?
How could she despise him so directly?
"Evelyn, you mean you don't plan to be with Derek anymore?"
"Auntie, to put it bluntly, he is no longer worthy of me."
Evelyn pursued Derek because of two reasons. On the one hand, he saved her and fulfilled her fantasy
of being saved by a hero, on the other hand, she felt that such an excellent husband could satisfy her
flaunting heart.
But if that hero was disabled, she would lose interest immediately.
What's more, she was so warm to him before, but he refused her again and again. Evelyn wanted to
say more harsh words and vent her anger.
"Well, you said he was not worthy of you. Don't regret it."
Violet was so angry that she said this coldly and hung up the phone.
She had been trying hard to make Evelyn her daughter-in-law. Now it was fortunate that she didn't
become her daughter-in-law.
"Will I regret it? Dream with your disabled son."
Evelyn was hung up and cursed unhappily. She was not in the mood to pack up and directly called a
car to take her to the airport.
She even didn't want to stay in this little place.
As soon as Evelyn left, Ellie got the news.
Ellie couldn't help but shrug her shoulders. She was not surprised by the result. According to Evelyn's
character, how could she lower her head to take care of a disabled person? It was obvious.
But her love was really short.
Ellie could not help but feel a little more sarcastic.
Just as she was thinking about it, Meredith came over and said, "Ellie, I just asked the doctor. He said
that mom's condition was good. I plan to tell mom the truth later."
Hearing this, Ellie stopped smiling and became nervous.
