Meredith didn't answer. Parker's words made her realize there was something fishy.

Only then did she realize that, in fact, Parker had already treated her well beyond what a friend should have.

Could it be..

"Parker, we are good friends. I will bother you in the future even you think I'm obnoxious.” Meredith euphemistically said that she was grateful for Parker, but she didn't love him after all, and she could not fall in love with anyone else at the moment.

Parker would find someone better.

Parker was such a smart person, and how could he not understand that Meredith was silently drawing the line? His heart ached a little, but he still smiled and replied, "Of course, when the child is born, I'll be the foster father.”

Meredith smiled. When Parker heard her chuckle, he felt bitter and comforting at the same time. "Alright, then. I'll solve your mother's problem as soon as possible.”

Meredith chatted a few more words with Parker before hanging up.

Meredith took the things home and then went to the hospital for a routine prenatal examination. Along the way, she was a little absent-minded, thinking about Chloe and Derek from time to time. When she arrived at the hospital, Meredith was about to enter when someone called her from behind. "Meredith, why are you here?"

Leo saw Meredith from afar. Although she was dressed very simple and not out of the ordinary, she just attracted his attention.

Just as somebody said, "The best is what you can't get.” Especially after Meredith rejected him a few times. Leo always had a bit of a tangle in his heart.

In his opinion, Meredith belongs to him. After all, they were once engaged, and she used to be loyal to him. She just couldn't ignore him like this.

When Meredith saw that it was him, she gave him a dirty look. She had seen through the true face of this man long ago. The last time he came to harass her, and he even passed the buck to her. She was annoyed by such a coward and hypocrite.

"Why can't it be me? You don't own this hospital.”

Meredith was not polite at all. She was going to do the prenatal examination with a test list in her hand.

Leo got the flak, but he was neither discouraged nor angry. Instead, he leaned over and said, "I'm just talking to you, you don't have to speak harshly! What's wrong with you? I can introduce you to a doctor.”

Meredith looked at him ironically. Perhaps Leo had forgotten how embarrassed he was when kicked out of the hospital by Derek last time.

"No need." Meredith ignored him and was about to leave when Leo suddenly grabbed her hand and snatched the list from her.

Meredith was shocked and wanted to get it back, but it was already a step too late. Leo saw the contents at a glance. Pregnancy test? Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

His face was slightly distorted. Meredith was pregnant. Whose child was it? Was it the man from that day?

"Meredith, are you pregnant? You don't have any self-respect?”

Leo had a feeling that his belonging had been tarnished. He had never touched Meredith, but she had an affair with another man, and now she was even pregnant.

"What does it have to do with you? This is my privacy. Please show some respect!"

Meredith really didn't want to get into trouble with Leo. Looking at this sanctimonious face, she couldn't help but think of the time when she had been admiring him so much that she determined to chase after this scumbag.

It was a dark history. It was disgusting to think of.

"Of course, I have something to do with it. Your mother let us engage back then, and she asked me to take good care of you for the rest of my life. Now that I see you go astray, am I supposed to stand by and do nothing?"

Leo was not buying it and spoke of Meredith's mother.

His engagement with Meredith was arranged by Meredith's mother back then.

Meredith respected her mother so much that she had the consideration.

When Meredith heard this, her face turned red with anger. How could this person be so shameless? Her mother let him marry her so that she could be happy for the rest of her life. Who would have thought that he would be so shameless to get together with Ava in a blink of an eye?

"You'd better not mention my mother. You don't deserve it."

Meredith saw he was stubborn, so she didn't want to take back the test list at all. At worst, she could ask the doctor for another one, so she turned to go.

Seeing that she was so cold, Leo was unwilling and chased after her. "Don't you want to know where your mother is now?"

After all, Leo was engaged to Ava, and he knew a little about Meredith's mother's whereabouts.

".." Meredith paused as if she had not expected Leo to say so.

She was thinking roughly.

After all, Leo and Ava were once an unmarried couple. Since Ava needed to rely on the power of the Howards, so she probably didn't dare to hide anything from him.

If Leo could tell her exactly where her mom was, it might be a good idea. So Meredith didn't have to worry that the Masons would find her mom and harm her.

Meredith stopped. "Do you really know where mom is?"

Leo saw that she finally reacted. "Of course.”

Meredith clenched her lips. "So, can you tell me?"

Leo saw that she had surrendered. His lust of conquest was satisfied, but he would not tell Meredith easily, "Of course, only after you make me satisfied.”

Meredith inwardly scolded Leo for being shameless, but her face did not show the slightest sign of it. "Then, how can you be satisfied?"

Leo's ambiguous gaze greedily swept over Meredith. "This is going to take time."

Meredith was so disgusted by the lewd gaze that she remembered the fact that Leo had been found out to be having sex with a lot of women. They even played those disgusting tricks. But to get what she needed, the necessary sacrifices could be tolerated.

So, she didn't show anything and suddenly looked up. "Do you know how the Masons handled the car accident?"

Meredith remembered when Ava told her smugly that Leo knew the whole story of the fray, but he didn't want to stand up for Meredith and connived them to do everything.

Meredith had been thinking about overturning the case, but she had been unable to find evidence and had not made any progress. Now that she saw Leo, which was finally a breakthrough.

Leo's face changed. When he was seduced by Ava, he felt that Meredith was a burden and boring fiancée, so he connived them to put all the blame on her.

Now that he thought about it, he did feel sorry for Meredith.
