Chapter 612
Meredith heard this with mixed feelings.
She thought that Derek would not love her so much because she was so cold to him while Evelyn was
doing a lot to win his heart.
In the end, Ellie told her that this was not the case.
Meredith couldn't help but think about what Derek asked her at the coffee shop the other day "Am I that
untrustworthy?".
Did he keep trying to convince her of their feelings again...
The more she thought about it, the more upset Meredith felt.
Seeing she was gradually depressed, Ellie persuaded her, "If you really have any ideas, just say it in
time. Don't keep struggling. When the surgery is done tomorrow, you have a long time to think about it."
Meredith nodded. Since she had no idea for a while, she should give herself some time.
After Ellie finished talking to Meredith, she was about to go back to stay with Amelia when she heard
Easton mumbling in the bathroom.
"Oh, my stomach hurts so much. Eating too much mustard will kill me. If the two of them don't make up,
then what I did was in vain."
After he finished talking with Meredith, Easton's stomach ached a lot. After all, he was still a child. His
stomach couldn't stand the ache it after eating so many spicy food in one go.
The point was, Easton didn't dare to tell anyone about it because he was afraid that Meredith would
find out that he was eating mustard and pretending to cry, so he had to endure it.
Ellie froze when she heard this. Then, she quickly guessed something.
She guessed Meredith felt uneasy by what the little guy said.
This little guy was really smart although he was so young.
Easton stayed in the toilet for a while, but it was of no use. He came out again with his stomach in his
hands. As soon as he went out, he saw Ellie standing not far away looking at him.
"Why are you here?"
After learning that Ellie was actually a good person and donated bone marrow to his grandma, Easton
apologized to her seriously, and now the two of them got along very well.
Ellie had a strong and intelligent personality, but she got along well with Easton.
"Easton, did you say something to lie to your mother?"
Ellie looked at Easton's pale face and asked directly.
Easton took a step back in fright. Looking at Ellie's expression, he knew that she had guessed what he
had done, so he could only nod his head.
"Please, don't tell my mother."
Easton immediately pretended to be pitiful and looked at Ellie pleadingly.
His mother would be very angry, and then what he had done would just be in vain.
"I just want to help my father and mother make up. You can understand that, right?"
Easton did everything he could to stop Ellie from telling that to Meredith.
He was originally cute and inherited the characteristics of Derek and Meredith, and now he pretended
to be pitiful on purpose, which made Ellie hesitate for a while.
Ellie couldn't help but laugh. "Easton, I didn't expect you to be so smart as usual, and now you're
stupid, too. And you should think I'll tell your mother. Don't worry, I know what to do and won't tell your
mother."
Ellie had searched a lot about what had happened between Derek and Meredith and knew that they
had experienced a lot. It was a pity that they were separated. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Therefore, she understood why Easton lied to Meredith.
Sometimes it was necessary to tell a white lie.
"But what exactly did you say? Meredith just felt distracted. What you said didn't scare her, did it?"
"Ahem, I said my father is seriously injured and will have sequelae... I don't mean to curse him, just..."
"I see. You definitely don't mean to curse him."
Ellie nodded.
What she did not expect was that Meredith had always been determined to break up with Derek, but
had wavered when hearing that Derek might have a sequela for the rest of his life.
It was completely different from the way one would not show any concern for the one he or she had
broke up with in the face of a trouble. So she really loved Derek, or else she wouldn't be so worried and
uneasy.
"That's good, that's good."
Easton was relieved to hear this.
Ellie looked at his pale face and was afraid that he was still uncomfortable. "Come on, Easton, I'll take
you to the doctor to prescribe some medicine. I'll pay the bill then. Your mother won't find out."
Hearing this, Easton nodded gratefully, followed behind Ellie and hurried to the doctor.
Easton was lucky to meet Ellie who took him to the hospital. Otherwise, he would have stayed in the
bathroom until dawn the next day.
Ellie took Easton to the doctor and watched him take medicine.
lfter taking the medicine, Easton rested for a while and was much better. He looked at Ellie gratefully.
"Thank you a lot."
Ellie shook her head. "You're welcome, but don't do this again. If you're really sick, your grandmother
and mother will be worried."
Easton nodded shyly after listening.
...
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Ellie washed up and prepared to go into the operating room for the bone marrow
surgery.
At this moment, her cell phone rang.
It was Evelyn.
"I want to eat at the restaurant today. Make a reservation in advance."
Evelyn didn't even notice that Ellie hadn't been back for two days, because she would only contact Ellie
voluntarily when she needed Ellie to do something.
Ellie clenched her phone. "I have something to do now. Do it yourself."
After that, she hung up the phone.
In the past, she had tolerated and indulged Evelyn because she was nurtured by the Smith family, so
even if Evelyn went too far, she would not say anything.
But now, knowing what happened in the past, Ellie only felt that it was fate. She did not owe the Smith
family anything, but was the victim of Cali's own decision.
So now, Ellie decided not to flatter anyone as before and chose to be herself.
Besides, Ellie was actually looking forward to it that what Evelyn would do after knowing that she had
donated the bone marrow directly.
After all, Ellie had been bullied for so many years, and she had her own ideas.
Evelyn was surprised that Ellie hung up the phone.
Ellie rejected her and hung up on her. Did Ellie, an unwanted orphan, become independent and strong-
minded?
