What was she doing here? The last time Meredith saw her was when Charlie slapped her across the face and kicked her out of the hospital.

And from her voice, it sounded like she was back on good terms with Charlie.

Meredith hesitated before finally knocking on the door and walking inside.

Both of them turned to look at her and their gaze turned cold at the same time.

Meredith took a glance at Charlie who was on the bed and then looked at Kimberly who was feeding him fruits. Even though the situation was rather strange, she still greeted Kimberly, "Hey Kimberly. Are you here to see Charlie?"

Staring at Meredith, Kimberly mocked, "Meredith Leighton, shouldn't you be spending the New Year with your ex-husband and daughter? Since when do you have the time to come see Charlie?"

Meredith looked at Charlie and wanted to explain herself.

But Kimberly added, "Go back to your ex-husband. I'll be here for Charlie."

Meredith knew that Kimberly commented on that on purpose. She suddenly recalled that Charlie mentioned that he had a girlfriend and it seemed like Kimberly was that girlfriend.

Did Kimberly seize the opportunity that Charlie had lost his memories and claimed that she was his girlfriend?

Meredith walked over to them and said to Charlie, "Charlie, Kimberly is not your girlfriend. She is just your bandmate."

Charlie was simply staring at her with eyes of doubt.

Kimberly quickly explained, "Even if I'm not Charlie's girlfriend, it is a fact that I've got a crush on him for a long time. And, I will never betray Charlie as you did! Never!"

"Miss Kimberly, I would appreciate it if you refrain from trying to drive a wedge between Charlie and me," Meredith stared at her and went on, "and, Charlie is still recovering and he is not in a good mood. I hope that you can be more considerate of him and stop upsetting him."

Rage gripped Kimberly as she fumed, "It's not like I said anything wrong. You don't even have the nerves to admit what horrible things you've done to Charlie and now you're accusing me of being selfish?"

"Miss Kimberly..."

"Enough!" Charlie shouted.

He looked up and stared coldly at Meredith. "Are you done? If yes, please leave."

"Charlie, are you asking me to leave?" In shock, Meredith asked, "You..."

"Do you not hear him? Charlie asked you to leave," Kimberly urged, "Meredith Leighton, even though Charlie has lost his memories, he has heard about where you've been and what you've done."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Meredith stared at her silently.

Kimberly pushed Meredith toward the door and said, "Get out and stay away from Charlie!"

Right when the both of them reached the door, in a swift move, Meredith pushed Kimberly out of the door and closed the door.

Kimberly stumbled out of the room. She turned around and started hitting the door. "Are you out of your mind, Meredith Leighton? Open the door right now!"

"You're the one who's not in their right mind," Meredith went on with a lowered voice, "we're at the hospital. Mind your voice if you don't want to disturb other patients here."

"You-" Kimberly fumed, "you're such a b*tch!"

But Kimberly quickly composed herself and stopped before she caused a scene.

Meredith inhaled slowly before turning around to only meet Charlie's hostile gaze on her.

"Charlie," She called out to him.

"Why did you lock her out?" Charlie asked as he stared at her.

"Because I wanted to talk to you." Meredith sat down on the edge of his bed, reaching out her hand wanting to hold his hand. But Charlie had avoided her with a look of disdain on his face.
