The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 523

“It's fine. It's not that bad anymore."

Penelope wanted to pull her hand back, but Damian held it so tightly that she failed.

"Your mom will see us when she comes back. Aren't you afraid that she will be worried?"

Penelope felt lucky when she heard this.

Fortunately, his mother had left because of some misunderstanding. Otherwise, she would be worried

when she saw the mess in the room.

"Fine."

Penelope stopped trying. Damian took out the ointment for burns and scalds and carefully applied it to

her hand.

His movement was careful and gentle. She just felt a feather had fallen on her hand. It felt itchy, but

Penelope didn't hate the feeling.

She didn't know that the Damian she knew, who always argued with her, had such a gentle side.

Damian finished applying the ointment to her hand. He saw her staying there so quietly but didn't know

what she was thinking.

She was a little calmer than usual. He realized that she was a pretty woman. She was always so noisy

that he didn't have a chance to notice her beauty.

Damian held Penelope's hand and stayed in a daze for a while. He suddenly felt embarrassed when he

realized what he had done. "Well, the ointment has been applied. Take a good rest here. Call me

immediately if anything happens."

Penelope nodded and didn't argue with him.

Damian was relieved and left. Mrs. Garcia was outside of the room. She said when she saw him come

out, "Thank you, Chen."

It was the nickname that Mrs. Garcia gave him after they've spent so much time together. She said that

this made them closer. Damian didn't refuse her.

"No Problem. I bought her some supplements and some soothing music. She can listen whenever she

feels like it. I'm going to visit that professor and ask him to be the surgeon of her operation. I won't be

able to come for a while."

Mrs. Garcia nodded. "Okay, don't worry. I'll take good care of her. We'll wait for your good news."

She looked at Damian gratefully. "I felt bad troubling you."

Damian shook his head and talked to Mrs. Garcia for a few more minutes. He checked his watch and This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

said, "I have to go. I have an early flight tomorrow."

"Okay, off you go."

After seeing Damian off, Mrs. Garcia went back to the room and saw what he had left behind.

Everything was arranged clearly. There was some imported food with translated labels, perhaps

because he was afraid she couldn't understand. The usage and dosage were clearly written on the

label.

"What a great child..."

Mrs. Garcia liked Damian a lot. She hoped that Penelope could recover her vision through surgery as

soon as possible and have a relationship with Damian.

...

The next morning.

Meredith got up early. She had been thinking all sorts of stuff last night. She couldn't fall asleep when

she thought that she might see her real family. Naturally, she saw two huge black circles when she

looked in the mirror.

Meredith took out her makeup and wanted to cover it up, but she was not in the mood. Thus, she put

on a pair of sunglasses instead.

She didn't want to wear makeup now.

She waited at home for a while and received a call from Damian. He told her to get ready and that

someone would come and pick her up for the 7 o'clock flight.

Meredith said okay at once. She took the suitcase that was packed and was ready to leave.

However, as soon as she went downstairs, she saw a familiar car coming.

It was Derek's car.

Meredith didn't call him, but he still came.

Derek was in the driver's seat. He pulled over when he saw Meredith with a suitcase and said, "Get in

the car."

"You're going as well?"

Meredith couldn't help but think, "Shouldn't he be busy?"

Besides, she heard that the Xaviers never had any branches in the Capital City. It wouldn't help his

business even if he went with her.

She didn't think he needed to go.

"Of course." Said Derek.

It had something to do with Meredith's background, and it sounded complicated. How could he not go?

"It's 5:30 now. If you get in my car, you can still make it. Otherwise, you might miss the flight."

Derek saw that she didn't want to bring him along, so he deliberately reminded her of the time.

Meredith felt she was blackmailed when she heard it.

She didn't expect the person Damian was talking about was Derek.

She took a look on the street. It was too early to have any taxis around. She had no choice but to get

on his car. "Fine, let's go."

Derek put her luggage into the trunk with satisfaction. "It is so heavy. What did you pack?"

"Who knows how long I have to stay there? I have to settle everything before I come back."

Derek didn't say anything, hearing Meredith's answer. He started the car and sped towards the airport.

There was no traffic in the early morning. They arrived at the airport very soon.

When they found the gate, Damian was already waiting there. No one said anything. They took the

boarding pass and waited for a while before boarding the plane.

Meredith sat in her seat and took off her sunglasses. Derek saw her black circles and asked, "Didn't

you sleep well last night?"

Meredith nodded. "How could I sleep well?"

"May I have a cup of coffee, please?"

Meredith felt a little tired and wanted a cup of coffee to wake her up.

"No, a cup of milk for her would be fine."

Derek took Meredith's coffee with his large hand. "Take a nap."

Meredith thought for a moment. It would take three hours to the Capital City. It would be hard for her if

she kept fighting her tiredness. She did not refuse his words.

After drinking a cup of warm milk and covering herself with a blanket, Meredith felt sleepy. She closed

his eyes slowly and fell asleep.

Derek tucked her in and went to sit with Damian to avoid disturbing her sleep.

"Is the proposal done?"

Derek looked at Damian and asked.

Damian nodded and handed him a document. It was a partnership agreement with the Smiths.

Derek scanned over the documents and stopped at the profit distribution section. "Here, we might need

to give them more."

Damian frowned a bit. "We've given them more than enough. We won't have any profit left if we give

them anymore."

Derek started working on this agreement when Meredith thought it might be necessary to go to the

Capital City.

The Smiths had always had a grudge against the Xaviers because Derek refused to connect through

marriage. He didn't want to cause any trouble, so he kept his distance for all these years.

But now, he had to deal with the Smiths. He could only repair the relationship at the expense of his own

profits.

But even so, Derek was not entirely sure that the Smiths would forgive him.
