Meredith was embarrassed when she heard this. She seemed to have really forgotten about it.
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Meredith quickly replied and tried to make up.
"I'm a little tired. Mer, go out and buy Parker something to eat. I'll just take a break. Don't bother me."
When Amelia saw this, she did not give Meredith a chance to go out alone. After a few words, she made an appointment for her to have the meal together with Parker.
Parker certainly wouldn't refuse. He continued Amelia's words and said, "I won't bother you since you're tired."
After that, he got up and planned to leave.
Seeing this, Meredith definitely wouldn't let Parker leave on an empty stomach after visiting her mother early this morning. She asked, "Can we go to the restaurant at the hospital? It might be a bit inconvenient if we go out."
Parker wouldn't be picky about such things. "It's all okay for me. As you wish."
When the man said this, his eyes were fixed on Meredith, very serious, as if it was not only about eating breakfast but a lot of other things.
Meredith noticed something was wrong and quickly changed the subject. She said, "Well, then let's go. We have to hurry up, or else, we won't have anything to eat later."
Parker saw that she was still the same. She was trying to not respond to his words, but he had no choice. He did not dare to speak frankly, afraid that it would make her hate him, so he could only nod and agree.
The two of them went to the hospital's restaurant. Easton called her when they were about to order.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Easton didn't have to go to school. He was so happy now that he was about to finish the task Derek had given him. Anyway, it was much more fun to go out and make fun of people than to stay in the classroom.
"I'm in the hospital. I just visited your grandmother. No, wait. It's not a day off. Why are you calling me at this time?"
Meredith was happy to hear Easton's voice, but when she looked at her watch, wasn't it time for class?
Easton, was he skipping class again?
"I... I'm not going to school these days!"
Easton was a little stunned by the question. Although Meredith usually doted on him, she was always strict with his classes. He had to go to school when it was time and she never let him play truant.
Even if Easton had said that he already knew what was being taught, he still had to go to school.
"Why not?"
Meredith asked seriously.
Easton involuntarily shrank his neck and felt a little guilty. He answered, "Um... Because... I had a stomachache."
Easton wanted to tell the truth, but Derek specifically told him not to betray him before he went to work, otherwise, he would definitely teach him a good lesson. Therefore, Easton could only find an excuse.
"Stomachache?"
Meredith was a little anxious.
She remembered that Easton did go to the snack street yesterday and ate a lot of unhealthy food. The child's stomach was weak and it was normal for him to have a stomachache after eating the food.
She could not help but blame herself. If she had known this, she should have stopped Easton even if she would make him unhappy. How uncomfortable would such a small child be when he had diarrhea?
"Easton, did you have a stomachache because you ate too much yesterday? Where are you now?"
Easton didn't expect Meredith to think that much at once and immediately explained, "No, no, it's not that serious. It's not about the food yesterday."
Yesterday, after eating those snacks, he took photos of each of them, posted them on his moment, showed them off among a group of students, and said he would take them out to eat from one end of the street to the other.
If Meredith would never let him go again, he would have been dishonest and humiliated.
"Maybe it's just a little indigestive, haha..."
When Meredith heard him say that, she was helpless. "Have you seen a doctor?"
