"Your child's father? Who's that coward? You're now lying in the hospital and he doesn't even care about you. How well do you think he will be to you?"
It was better not to mention it. Derek's anger could not be suppressed at the mention of the so-called father of the child.
A man would leave a woman who was pregnant with his baby abroad, and Meredith would mention him from time to time. This made him angry.
What was this if it was not looking for trouble on her own?
When Meredith heard this, she suddenly found it very funny.
It was so close that she would tell him the identity of the child. But now, Derek was right in front of her. He didn't know that the child in her womb was his, and he was just saying something to show disdain.
What a funny scene!
Meredith couldn't help but laugh, but the sour feeling in her eyes made her cover her face, and she quickly concealed her weakness. "It's none of your business. Mr. Xavier just needs to take care of your wedding and fiancée. Besides, don't let her know that you are unfaithful in love and that you're flirting with other girls. If she finds out, I'm afraid she'll start a fight with you."
"You..." Derek was still holding back his anger. But when he heard Meredith mention the word "fiancée", he suddenly didn't know what to say.
These should be strictly confidential. How would Meredith know?
Meredith could not help but laugh at herself when she saw that the man who had always been so eloquent had nothing to say. As expected, she was just a plaything Derek had found outside of marriage. She was a fool, and she was played by him.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late to know the reality. Now that Derek didn't know the identity of the child, she could still run away with the baby. She and her child could run far away from all these rights and wrongs.
"Is there nothing else to say?" Meredith said sarcastically, "Mr. Xavier, although in your eyes, a person like me is like an ant that can be trampled to death with just one foot, I have a sense of shame and won't be the third party who destroys someone's family. So, isn't it good for everyone that I want to break up with you now?"
"..."
Derek turned on the light. The glaring light made both of them very uncomfortable. The man looked at Meredith's expression, and on her face, he could only see a thick layer of sarcasm and resistance.
How on earth did they get to this point...
"Meredith, about the engagement..."
Derek subconsciously wanted to say it out that he and Chloe reached an agreement that it was only a formal engagement, and there would be no substantive relationship between them and she misunderstood.
But Meredith covered her ears. "I'm sorry, I don't want to hear it."
She really didn't want to hear the story between him and Chloe. She had heard it countless times. They were like princesses and princes who got together after breaking up in a fairy tale. What was she?
Perhaps, she was just a vicious supporting actress who overestimated her strength and wanted to disturb them.
"If you don't want to provoke me anymore and if you don't want me to die here, I beg you to get out of here and let me be here alone. I will return your things to you. Please, let me go."
At this point, Derek did not know what to say and especially when he saw Meredith's pale face, he remembered the doctor's advice to him.
Meredith couldn't be stimulated anymore. He didn't dare to say anything more. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so lucky this time.
"Okay, I'll go. You stay here and have a good rest."
"I won't see you out, and... I hope the last time I see you is to deal with our separation. Besides that, I don't want to see you again!"
Meredith said these words calmly, but those words pierced Derek's heart like a thorn.
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Derek turned and left.
Meredith watched him walk out, breathing heavily. The pain in her chest did not alleviate and it became even more intense.
