Chapter 51
Leo had great strength that Meredith couldn't pull her hand back at all. Hearing his words, she said,
"Then just call the securities. I'm not afraid at all."
Leo glanced at her coldly and called for help, saying that there was a strange person on the VIP floor
and had them come over to deal with it.
Meredith waited expressionlessly. Not long after, the doctor who had just treated Meredith came over,
"What's wrong?"
"Your hospital is so negligent. How can you let someone like this into the VIP floor? Who's going to be
responsible if something gets lost or something goes wrong?"
The doctor was speechless when he looked at Leo, who was speaking with justice, "I'm sorry, sir. This
lady is my patient. She lives in the VIP ward not far away. She's not a strange person."
Leo's expression froze, as if he didn't expect things to be like this. He looked in the direction the doctor
was pointing at. That ward was even more spacious and luxurious than the one he had reserved for his
grandfather, and it cost nearly twice as much as his grandfather's ward.
How could Meredith afford such an expensive ward?
"Do you hear that? Let go of me." Meredith said coldly. Although she did not mean to show off because
of her connection with Derek, she didn't mind embarrassing him as he was such a shameless person.
Leo relaxed his grip in a daze, obviously finding it hard to accept the fact.
He had always thought that Meredith would be sad, disappointed and poor after leaving him. When Leo
saw that she was doing better than him, he immediately became upset.
"Meredith, how can you possibly afford a ward like this? What the hell are you..."
"Doctor, can you let the security guard come to my door for a while? This gentleman seems a little
agitated. I'm afraid he'll do something aggressive and hurt me."
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come over. Don't worry, our hospital will ensure the safety of every Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
patient."
Meredith nodded and left.
Leo looked at her back and suddenly felt that he knew nothing about this woman at all.
Derek walked out of the conference room and Damian stepped forward, "It seems that Miss Mason is
in some trouble at the hospital and she has called a security guard."
Derek frowned. He had been busy at the company for the past few days, so he didn't pay much
attention to what was going on at the hospital.
How dare someone stir up trouble at the place under his control?
"I see." Derek's eyes darkened. He hadn't visited Meredith once in the past few days, and she really did
not disturb him at all, never causing him any trouble.
If Damian didn't tell him that she was in trouble this time, he probably wouldn't have known.
Although this was a sign that Meredith was wise and sensible, Derek was not in a good mood because
of this.
...
When Meredith returned to the ward, she took the medicine. Then, she felt sleepy, so she locked the
door to sleep.
She had nothing to do these days except eat and sleep. However, she felt very tired today. She slept
until night, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was already dark.
Meredith groped in the dark to turn on the light, but she failed to do so. The silence and the darkness
frightened her, reminding her of the time when she had done something wrong in prison and was
locked in a dark room.
"Is... is anyone there? Is there a power outage?" Meredith clutched her cell phone and carefully walked
to the door, but the furtive figure in front of the door gave her a fright.
"Who?"
"Who else could it be? Open the door." It was Leo.
Ever since he met Meredith in the afternoon and was taunted by her, he had been angry. When he saw
the security guard standing at the door, not allowing anyone, especially him, to get near, he was even
angrier.
How dare Meredith despise him like that? She was a woman who had been in prison.
Therefore, he turned off the switch in Meredith's room and asked the security guard to fix it. He just
wanted to see how Meredith would react.
"Why are you here?" When Meredith heard Leo's voice, she took two steps back, grabbed a vase from
the table and held it in her hand.
"Why can't I be here? Open the door. I have something to tell you. Don't forget what our relationship is."
What was their relationship? He was her ex-fiancé and Ava's husband. How could this man be so
shameless to mention their relationship?
The two of them were in a stalemate when suddenly, a cold, magnetic male voice sounded from not far
away, "What's your relationship?"
Leo frowned. The man's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable arrogance, making him very
unhappy.
"I'm her fiancé, so of course I can enter her room. Mind your own business."
When Derek heard the word "fiancé", there was an atmosphere of great tension around him.
Leo told Derek that he was Meredith's fiancé. Was he ignorant or... ridiculous?
"No, I have nothing to do with him."
Leo couldn't tell who was coming, but how could Meredith not recognize Derek's voice?
So when she heard Leo's brazen words, she immediately raised her voice and loudly defended herself.
Even though she couldn't figure out what she was feeling guilty about.
"Since she says so, please get out of here." Hearing her words, Derek coldly opened his mouth to
chase Leo away.
"You're the one who should get out of here. I have an engagement with her. Who are you? How dare
you lecture me?"
Leo was used to being arrogant. When he met a man in the dark and lectured him in a superior
manner, he was enraged and spoke without thinking.
Derek smiled instead of being angry. Just as he was about to speak, the door, which had been locked,
opened. Meredith came out and pushed Leo away with great strength, "Who do you think you are?
Since you are engaged to Ava, don't come to me again."
With that, Meredith grabbed Derek's hand, pulled him into the room, and slammed the door shut again.
Leo was really annoyed. If the argument went on like this, it would be endless.
It was not until Meredith pulled Derek into the room that she realized her action was too intimate. She
was holding his hand and they were like a sweet couple.
The strange thing was that Derek, who hated being touched, did not shake her hand off.
"I'm sorry. I just think he's too annoying and you may get upset arguing with him, so..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Leo's angry roar came from outside, "Meredith, you are so
shameless. How can you let a man into your room? Get out!"
His vulgar words made Derek frown.
Meredith's eyes turned cold. She gave Leo an inch, but he took a mile. Did he really think she couldn't
do anything about him?
She called Ava directly.
Ava was taking a break from filming. When she saw that it was Meredith calling, a mocking smile
appeared on her lips and she answered, "Why do you think of me? What's the matter?"
"I'll let you hear your precious fiancé's voice in case you miss him." Meredith did not hesitate to turn on
the speakerphone. All the curses from Leo, who claimed to be Meredith's fiancé, came through the
microphone to the other end.
