Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 10

The girl who was still sobbing a minute ago was now grinning from ear to ear when Meredith started eating.

After clearing the bowl of pasta, Meredith looked up at the girl and thanked her, “Thank you for the food, I really appreciate it.”

With the empty bowl in her hands, the girl smiled and said, “You’re welcome. I’m happy as long as the baby is healthy.”

“Thank you, but…” Meredith noticed that the girl seemed somewhat mentally unstable, but still, she said to her, “Miss, can you please help me keep a secret and don’t tell anyone about my child?”

“Why do we have to keep it a secret?”

“Because they are evil people out there who want to kill my baby, so I have to keep it a secret.”

Upon hearing that the baby might be in danger, the girl put a serious look on her face and pressed a finger on her lips making a hush sign. She then said, “Okay, we’ll keep it a secret. We’ll protect the baby.”

Meredith did not expect to meet a kind-hearted person even when she was in this miserable situation.

Even though the girl was mentally unstable, Meredith was still grateful.

“I’m Meredith Leighton, but you can call me Edith,” Meredith introduced herself and asked, “May I know how I should address you?”

“I’m Qira Francis,” answered the girl.

…

After finding out that her baby was still alive, Meredith did not go against the two working staff anymore.

She would eat everything that was served to her, be it cold bread or cold pasta.

For her baby’s health, she even begged and pleaded with the working staff for some meat.

Meredith was determined to do all she could to protect herself and her baby. She planned to do a paternity test after giving birth to the baby to prove her innocence.

The two working staff exchanged looks with each other and scoffed, “Where did the high and mighty Miss Leighton go? Is this the best you could do?”

“Seeing how you’re begging us, there, have some meat,” Miss Linda, one of the working staff, sneered and threw a sausage bun at her.

The sausage bun landed at Meredith’s feet.

“Thank you, Miss Linda,” Meredith thanked her and quickly bent over to pick up the bun.

However, before she could pick up the bun, a pair of red high heels stepped on the bun.

Meredith froze. She knew immediately who the owner of the red heels was.

The evil woman was here to pick a fight with her again.

“Oh no you poor thing, do you want this sausage bun?” In a mocking tone, Ysabelle asked as she lifted her foot off the bun. Looking at the crushed sausage bun, she continued, “But I’m afraid you’d have to kneel and eat it off the floor.”

Meredith sat still and remained silent.
