Chapter 245 Unconscious Meryl
Dalton was drunk, completely intoxicated.
He had spent the past few days in a bar, drinking himself into oblivion, indifferent to the world.
This kind of life felt decadent, but he enjoyed it.
When he drank too much, he didn’t have to think about anything. All he needed to do was close his eyes and sleep.
Only by numbing himself with alcohol could Dalton find a moment of relaxation. Otherwise, his mind was filled with memories of the years he had spent with Meryl.
Not long ago, he had seen Dante getting completely wasted at the bar and thought Dante was pathetic.
In just a few days, he had become like that too.
He came to Galaxy Holdings for work–related matters.

As soon as he got out of the car and walked a couple of steps, he heard two loud thuds.
The sound seemed to come from the stairwell, and he faintly heard someone calling for Meryl.
“Meryl is here, too?”

Following the direction of the sound, Dalton quickly walked over and immediately saw the two women lying on the ground.
Elias‘ expression changed. “They seem to have fainted.”
Dalton paused, then immediately picked Meryl up in his arms.
“Take her to the hospital.”
Although Dalton stumbled slightly due to the alcohol, his grip around Meryl was steady.
Meryl was so light that it felt like a breeze could carry her away.
It had been a long time since he had been this close to her.
Elias frowned as he glanced at Lydia, who was still lying on the ground.
After hesitating for a moment, he reminded Dalton, “Mr. Dalton Aniston, Lydia is your wife.”
Dalton was startled and finally shifted his gaze to Lydia.
His fingers curled slightly, and his lips pressed tightly together.
At that moment, he had completely pushed Lydia out of his mind, not even glancing at her.
Elias bent down, signaling Dalton to put Meryl on his back.

Dalton looked at Meryl again, his gaze full of affection and caution as he handed her over.

Meryl woke up to find it was already nine o’clock the next morning.
She had calculated the timing and angle precisely, following Lydia closely as they fell down the stairs.
As a result, Lydia became Meryl’s cushion, and Meryl hadn’t been injured.
The reason she fainted was that she had pretended to lose consciousness after seeing Lydia fall.
Meryl was fully aware when Dalton picked her up.
She felt very resistant to Dalton’s embrace, but all she could do was act as if she knew nothing.
Fortunately, half a minute later, Elias took her from him.
Later, in the swaying car, she couldn’t keep her eyes open, so Meryl really fell asleep again.
She slept especially deeply, perhaps due to the physical exhaustion from the previous night.
When Meryl woke up, she saw a circle of people standing by her hospital bed, all looking at her with red–rimmed eyes.

The scene startled Meryl. She even thought she was on the brink of death, and this group was there to look at her remains.
She instinctively touched her cheek and pinched her face. Once she confirmed she was still alive, Meryl felt relieved.
The first person she noticed was Anne.
Anne had dark circles under her eyes, and Meryl guessed that Anne had probably stayed up most of the night here.
Meryl felt a twinge of guilt.
She thought, “If I tell Anne that I’m perfectly fine and that my fainting was just an act, would she want to fight me?
After all, Anne valued her nighttime skincare routine the most.”
