But now she didn't want to go to Derek now. If she went to him easily, that would make her determination seem ridiculous.
However, she could not bear to see that Easton was uncomfortable. She thought about it and was about to call Derek when a hand reached out from behind and picked up Easton.
"Where are you going?"
Derek had just glanced outside when he saw Meredith holding Easton, waiting for the car.
For a moment, Derek did not know what it felt like.
Why was this woman so stubborn at this time and refused to ask for help from him?
"To the hospital, Easton has a stomachache."
When Meredith saw him coming, she did not notice that her expression was much more relaxed.
"Dad, you're here."
It was the first time Easton desperately wanted to see Derek come. His stomach was rumbling now, and he had a feeling that he might not be able to stop getting a run if he didn't go to the hospital.
"Well, I'll send you there right away."
Derek carried Easton to the car and looked at Meredith, who was standing still. "Why are you still standing there?"
Only then did Meredith react and get into the car.
She sat in the back seat with Easton in the safety seat, then couldn't help but look at Derek in the driver's seat.
The line on the man's face was very tight, and his thin lips were now slightly pursed, forming a nervous arc.
Although he didn't say anything, Meredith could still sense that he was angry.
Inexplicably, she felt a little guilty. Meredith didn't dare to say anything but keep quiet.
Easton got into Derek's car and looked a little better. Fortunately, it was his father's car. If anything embarrassing happened, no one would see it.
Meredith felt a little guilty when she saw that Easton's face was covered in sweat.
Was she putting the cart before the horse? To prove that she didn't need Derek's help, it was really wrong for Easton to suffer so much.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Easton comforted her. He knew very well that he had a stomachache because of those snacks. In the end, it was because he didn't listen to Meredith, so she didn't have to blame herself like that.
"I'm sorry, Easton."
When Meredith heard this, her nose felt a little sore. Her baby was really too sensible, and why was she still so childish?
Just as Meredith was reflecting on herself, the car stopped.
Derek ignored her and carried Easton directly to the hospital.
Meredith followed him obediently and closely.
However, Derek was too fast for her to catch up.
She wondered if it was because the man was angry, so he didn't wait for her.
Derek sent Easton to the doctor, who gave him a simple examination.
"Doctor, how is he now?" Meredith asked anxiously.
Easton was treated by a middle-aged woman. When she saw Meredith, she said in a very impolite tone, "You are such a terrible mother. Don't you know that you can't feed your child too much junk food? Now it's just he's lucky. If he gets appendicitis because of this, you will regret."
