The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 521

Derek watched Meredith come out with the box in her hand and hurried forward.

"How is it? What did he say to you?"

Meredith looked at him. "He just said that I'm Cali's daughter, but he didn't know why the blood type

didn't match. Maybe... the girl had an accident, or maybe she was hidden by the Smiths."

"Hidden..." Derek was very sharp and immediately noticed the anomaly.

Generally speaking, if there was no danger, one would not hide a person. Then, could Meredith's

identity bring danger to him?

"I'm going to Capital City. I'm going to find that professor for Penelope to do the surgery. I also want to

know what happened back then. I can't just take everything away from that girl..."

Meredith clenched her fist. This time, she had to go.

Seeing her expression, Derek nodded. "I'll go with you..."

Meredith shook her head. "No need. Since Damian is going too, I'll just go with him. There's no need to

get so many people involved."

Hearing this, Derek could not help but raise his eyebrow. This woman now distanced herself from him

so obviously. In her eyes, he was not even a better option than Damian.

Did she know what she might encounter on this trip? The Smiths was not an ordinary family. If a

woman suddenly appeared in front of them and told them that she was Cali's daughter, even though

she had physical evidence, she might not be believed.

"I must go, even if you don't agree."

Derek said with absolute certainty. Meredith couldn't do anything about it. "Fine. Whatever."

Derek would not easily be swayed by others' words.

"Then I'll go back and get ready. I'll send you home."

Meredith did not refuse. Derek drove her home.

Meredith immediately began to pack up and find herself something to do so that she could think less of

the things she could not change for the time being.

Damian also went home to pack up after he had assigned the tasks.

Seeing this, his mother immediately asked him, "What's going on? Why are you packing? Are you

going on a business trip again?"

These days, Damian stayed in the hospital with Penelope most of the time and dealt with some

necessary work in the company for the rest of the time, so he spent little time at home.

His mother was naturally unhappy about his leaving.

"Yes, I have something to attend to."

Damian nodded, still thinking about Penelope.

In order to find a doctor to see Penelope as soon as possible, he booked the earliest flight tomorrow

and had to leave early in the morning, so he was wondering if he should visit her later and tell her

about it.

"Oh, why are you so busy with this job? The blind date I arranged for you last time was also disturbed.

When can I have a grandson?"

Hearing his mother's words, Damian couldn't help but sweat. Now that his mother had nothing to do at

home after retirement, she had been nagging him about getting married and having children, but how

could he have the time to think about these things?

"I can't talk now. I still have some unfinished work in my company. I'll go."

Afraid of her nagging, Damian found a reason and ran away.

His mother watched his back as he left and shook her head helplessly. "This won't work out. I have to

make an appointment with a few girls for him now. When he comes back, I'll send him on a blind date.

Otherwise, he works outside all day long and does not care about his family at all."

Damian drove to the hospital without stopping and went straight to Penelope's VIP ward.

Penelope's mother was not around for the time being. Penelope was the only one in the room.

She sat quietly on the bed, her face expressionless, staring blankly at the TV and listening to its noise.

No one knew what she was thinking. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Hearing footsteps, Penelope looked towards the door. She didn't know if it was because she couldn't

see, but now her hearing was much sharper. She could hear every movement very clearly.

"Mom, you're back."

Penelope pretended to be nonchalant and looked in the direction of the door.

Looking at her expression, Damian suddenly felt very sad.

She was clearly in pain and despair, but in order not to worry her family, she could only pretend that

she didn't care.

His heart was throbbing with pain.

"It's me."

Damian walked over and spoke softly, in such a tender tone that he had never used before.

"Oh, you're here."

Hearing that it was Damian, Penelope no longer forced herself to pretend to be full of energy and

answered tonelessly.

She did not know why, but instead, in front of this man, she was more able to reveal her true side.

"Well, after today, I'm going on a business trip. Maybe I can't take care of you anymore. You should be

careful in the hospital."

Damian did not say his true intention. He was afraid that she would not be able to bear it if he gave her

hope and disappointed her in the future.

Penelope's heart ached when she heard him say that.

She remembered her mother saying that Damian came every day when she was unconscious, and a

lot of his work was done here in the hospital.

And now, as soon as she woke up, he said he was going on a business trip. Did he feel that he was no

longer responsible and could finally get rid of her?

"That's your business. You don't have to report anything to me."

Penelope said calmly and her words made Damian put on a long face.

Originally, Damian's parents knew that he was going to be away for some time today, so they specially

made a table of dishes for him, but he was worried about Penelope, so he refused and came over.

He didn't expect this woman to still be so mean.

"I'm just here to say goodbye. You don't have to think too much."

When Penelope heard Damian say that, she was suddenly annoyed.

"What did I think? Didn't you feel guilty because I was in the car with you the other day, but I had an

accident while you were safe and sound? Now that I'm awake, I'm just so unlucky that I can't see

anything, but you don't have to worry about me pestering you. I'm not that brazen to burden you

because of this."

Penelope finished her words in one breath, her chest heaving incessantly, showing her restlessness.

Hearing this, Damian was angry, even if he had a good temper. After so many days and nights of

company, she did not appreciate it and even said these self-loathing words.

"Looks like we were born to be at odds. Forget it. I'll leave now. Have a good rest here."

Damian didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he left the place holding back his anger.

Penelope heard his footsteps fade away, her hands clutching the sheets, her head lowered, and tears

suddenly fell.
