Chapter 311 A Verdict
Dalton frowned at her words.
Meryl rolled up the window. “If there’s nothing else, I’m
leaving.” The mention of Lydia had instantly cooled her attitude toward him.
Dalton quickly grabbed the car door handle, suspecting Meryl’s behavior might mean she was jealous. He thought, “Could she still care about me?”
Dalton impulsively explained, “The baby… I’m already trying to convince her to get rid of it. Just give me a little more time.”
Meryl paused, thinking, “Give him more time?” She hadn’t expected Dalton to not want the baby. Lydia had schemed so much, only to have Dalton treat her indifferently. Perhaps it was karma catching up with her.
“Your issues with her have nothing to do with me,” Meryl said coolly. “Just remember to send me Rocky’s location.” Then, she pressed the gas pedal and drove off.
Dalton watched her car disappear before slumping back into his seat. He thought, “Yes, it makes sense now. A woman gets jealous when she cares. Meryl must still have feelings for me. Why else would she agree to add me on WhatsApp? Rocky is just a pretext for us to interact. Once I resolve things with Lydia, everything will fall into place.”

Then, Dalton drove straight to the hospital.
Lydia was throwing a fit at a young nurse inside the hospital
room.
2/4
The trainee nurse missed the vein during the injection, so she had to insert the needle again.
Lydia was already in a bad mood. She lashed out and overturned a tray of medical supplies onto the floor.
The poor nurse was shaken and too scared to say much in
response.
Just as Lydia was about to yell again, Dalton entered the room, his eyes flickering with irritation.
Lydia quickly switched to a more pleasant expression when she saw him. “Dalton, you have come to see me.”
Dalton said nothing at first, turning to the nurse. “You can go now.”
The nurse hurried out of the room as if escaping.
Lydia noticed Dalton’s stern expression and realized he had likely witnessed her earlier outburst. Her fingers tensed slightly as she tried to justify herself. “Dalton, my hand is all bruised from the needle. It really hurt. I was only trying to push her to improve so she doesn’t end up being bullied by more difficult patients.”

Dalton didn’t know if her words held truth, but he didn’t care enough to probe further. He said calmly, “I just saw Meryl.”
Lydia was stunned. “Dalton, what do you mean by that?”
3/4
Dalton responded calmly, “You get rid of the baby and take the money. Only then will she consider taking me back.”
Lydia was speechless.
“Lydia, didn’t you always say you loved me?” Dalton fixed his gaze on her. “The greatest expression of love is letting go. There’s no point in dragging this out. If you let go of the baby, it’ll be your way of allowing Meryl and me to be together.”
