When Derek heard that, he was in no mood to respond.
He didn't understand why his mother was so fond of Evelyn. Couldn't she see how arrogant and willful
Evelyn was?
Or did his mother think that nothing was important since the Smith family could bring them benefits?
Derek put on a mocking smile.
"In that case, mother, find a servant here next time. Don't bother Miss Smith."
Violet was awkward. She looked at Evelyn's expression. Obviously, Derek's comparison between
Evelyn and the servant hurt Evelyn's self-esteem.
"Stop it!" Violet glared at Derek. She then took Evelyn's hand and said, "Evelyn, Derek always talks like
this. Don't get mad at him. Come on, let's go out and eat something."
With that, she led Evelyn away.
Derek took a long breath as he watched the two women leave.
Finally, they left. He was losing his patience.

Meredith slept in the hospital bed for another two hours, and when she woke up, it was already nine in
the morning.
She moved her body, feeling less weak than before, and slowly sat up.
Meredith walked into the bathroom, washed up, looked at her pale and lifeless face in the mirror, and
couldn't help shaking her head.
If her mother saw it, she would definitely guess what was wrong and kept worrying.
Meredith had to take out her lipstick and applied it to her pale lips and her cheeks. Finally, she looked
better.
Meredith walked out and wanted to see Amelia. Before she could enter the ward, she heard Easton's
voice.
"Get out. You're with Evelyn. Stay away from my grandmother!"
Easton woke up early and saw that Meredith wasn't up. He knew that she was tired, so he didn't bother
her.
Instead, he went to take care of Amelia. Although he couldn't do much, he could still chat with his
grandma to cheer her up.
However, he didn't expect Ellie to be here.
Easton had a good memory. It occurred to him that Ellie was with Evelyn. Evelyn dared to poison him,
and this woman might harm his grandmother as well.
So, no matter how gentlemanly and polite he was, he drove Ellie out.
He would not make the same mistake again.
Ellie was resigned. In fact, she often visited Amelia recently. Although they were not related by blood,
they were very close.
Amelia had been in the hospital bed for many years, but she still had many years of experience. Ellie
liked Amelia's words and her independent attitude towards life.
Ellie came to J City only to donate her bone marrow, and she often came here to visit Amelia.
She didn't expect Easton to kick her out today.
"Easton."
Meredith knew what Easton was thinking, but it was strange for the people in the hospital to see a child
and a woman argue, so Meredith stopped Easton.
Easton looked at Meredith's expression and saw no reproach on her face, so he unwillingly released
his hand. "Mom, I'm just worried..."
"I know you mean well."
Meredith smiled and pulled Easton over. "Miss Soong, it might be rude to say this, but can you please
stop coming here to see my mother?"
Although Meredith smiled politely, she was determined.
She had a good impression of Ellie and didn't think she was a bad person. Now that the situation was
special, she didn't dare to risk anyone around her.
When Ellie heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.
"Why? Ms. Flores and I actually hit it off. I..."
"Your sister almost killed Fiona. How dare you come here? I'm afraid that you have other tricks to play!"
Meredith didn't say anything, but Easton cut in.
Right now, he was full of loathing for Evelyn. He didn't like anyone related to the Smith family.
Therefore, he just said it out low and didn't care if it embarrassed Ellie.
Ellie had thought there was some misunderstanding and planned to explain it. When she heard this,
she was confused.
Almost killed Fiona?
Evelyn?
Ellie felt dizzy. She knew that Evelyn had a bad temper and was spoiled by her family, but she still felt
Evelyn was not a bad person.
"Boy, you can't accuse somebody of murder casually."
"I didn't."
Easton was dissatisfied. Meredith had to look at Ellie. "Anyway, don't come anymore. I appreciate your
kindness. I will tell mom."
Meredith did not say that Easton was right or wrong, but Ellie could guess out of her attitude.
Meredith agreed with what Easton said. Otherwise, she would have stopped him.
Did Evelyn really do something outrageous?
At the thought of this, Ellie had no intention of staying here. She needed to investigate this matter
thoroughly.
If Evelyn did anything to murder others, it would be huge news, which would cause a devastating blow
to the reputation of the Smith family.
Easton curled his lips when he saw her leave.
"She must be guilty. I know she's hypocritical."
Meredith looked at Ellie's back as she left. "Easton, stop talking nonsense. She didn't do anything after
all. Don't mention to grandma that she was here, or grandma will be suspicious."
Easton nodded. "I know. I won't say anything."
They went in and looked at Amelia. Her condition was still stable, so there was no need to worry too
much.
They chatted with Amelia for a while, then went to see Fiona in the children's ward.
Fiona was out of danger, but she still needed to be observed.
"Doctor, when will she wake up? Will this incident leave her with any sequelae?"
Meredith looked at Fiona lying on the hospital bed and blamed herself. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She could not rest assured until Fiona woke up.
"The treatment was in time, so there should be no sequelae. She might wake up in two days."
