Meredith racked her brains for a long time, but she couldn't think of any good idea. After a while, someone knocked on the door. "Miss Mason, it's time for dinner.”

Meredith saw a man standing at the door, carrying several kinds of food. "Thank you.”

After opening the door, Meredith couldn't help but ask, "Can you lend me your phone? I want to tell my family, otherwise, they will be worried.”

Of course it was impossible for the Masons to worry about her, but Meredith was thinking that Parker might be able to think of a way if he knew she was here.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xavier ordered that you can't have any contact with the outside world without his permission.”

The servant did not waver at all and put the food at the door and left.

Meredith looked at him walking away resolutely and she was very discouraged. It was as if she was in prison now. She had no choice but to stay and waiting for her death.

Desperate and painful, Meredith couldn't eat at all. She didn't even move her chopsticks, and put the food aside.

When the servant came to collect the cutlery, he saw that she didn't eat much at all and he was afraid.

After all, Derek only told him to keep an eye on Meredith, but he didn't allow her to go on a hunger strike. If anything happened to Meredith, he could not bear the responsibility.

So, after the servant collected the cutlery, he immediately called Derek, "Mr. Xavier, Miss Mason... Miss Mason doesn't seem to want to eat.”

Derek was driving home when he heard this and frowned. "What's going on?"

"We made the food according to your orders, and all the food was that Miss Mason used to like, but she didn't eat it at all. What... should we do?"

Derek's face darkened. Meredith really had something. He didn't allow her to leave the villa, so she threatened him with a hunger strike?

"I'll be there in a while. Keep the food there.”

Derek suddenly turned the steering wheel and drove towards where Meredith was.

Meredith was in the bedroom, staring at the ceiling. There was no cell phone, no computer, but only a buzzing TV, which was playing a boring love drama. She had no intention of watching it.

She was really tired of this kind of the false story of Cinderella and Prince Charming. In real life, could there be such a love story?

At least, she wouldn't believe it anymore.

Although she once thought that Derek really had feelings for her, now the cold reality had waked her up. This world was not a fairytale world, so how could there be so much true love that ignored the social class?

Just as she was filling her head with nonsense, Derek pushed the door open and came in. Because it was raining and he was in a hurry to come here, his clothes were soaked.

Meredith did not expect he would go here. After all, it was a remote place and it took him a long time to go here and return. Besides, shouldn't he spend this time with Chloe?

It had only been a short time since they made up with each other, yet was he still in the mood to come here to see her?

However, Meredith did not show anything. She just stared at the TV indifferently and did not look at Derek again.

As soon as he arrived, he was completely ignored. This made Derek's already unhappy mood worsened. He walked over and unplugged the noisy TV. Then, he looked at the expressionless woman.

"A hunger strike, huh?"

"I just can't eat.” Meredith replied faintly. She really couldn't eat. Her hand was hurt. For the sake of her child, she could only take some traditional Chinese medicine. Her whole body smelled of Chinese medicine. She really wasn't in the mood to eat.

However, in Derek's eyes, Meredith's indifference became contempt for him. Because she did not want to be separated from Parker, she even ignored her baby, who she said she cared about the most, and she even refused to eat to resist?

Her feelings for Parker was that deep?

"I told you not to think about anything else and to stay here obediently. Are you ignoring my words?" Derek's tone was anger.

"No, I just can't eat. Are you forcing me to eat?"

Meredith looked over. She didn't understand what Derek was angry about.

She didn't want to eat anything, so he rushed over in the rain as if he cared about her so much, but if he did, would he choose to break her hand, limit her freedom, and imprison her here?

Did he regard her as a living and thoughtful person, or a pet that he kept in a cage and played with casually?

"Yes, if you can't eat, you should try, otherwise..."

Derek's gaze fell on Meredith's belly, where she and another man's child were. Derek's gaze became sharper and sharper, making Meredith couldn't help but raise her hand to block his sight. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I think you know your own body. If you don't eat, this child's development will be stunted. Then I'll get someone to operate on you right away.”

Meredith's eyes widened. "How... How can you..."

So, Derek was still trying to abort her baby?

Meredith suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

In the beginning, because Derek did not forcibly want to abort the child in her womb, Meredith was slighted wavered. She thought that perhaps this man still had a little concern for her, and at least, he did not force her to abort the child and hurt her body.

Now, Meredith only felt that she was completely ridiculous at that time. Derek only temporarily showed his mercy, but she foolishly thought that Derek was actually not so cold and heartless, and even...told him the truth.

"Did you hear me?"

Derek looked at Meredith's pale face. Her lips trembling slightly, but she did not answer. So he urged her.

“I.. I know."

Meredith took a deep breath. "I'll behave myself and eat the food, so can you promise me you won't hurt my baby?"

She was worried that Derek would find other reasons to abort her child.

"I always keep my word. If you're obedient and eat the food, I won't do anything to your baby." When Derek finished speaking, the servant knocked on the door. The servant warmed the food that Meredith had not eaten just now, and carefully placed it on the table.

Meredith looked at it and walked over numbly. She ate the food bit by bit, but the bad smell coming to the tip of her nose and the depression in her heart made her retch after a few bites. However, this time, instead of rushing into the bathroom to spit it out as usual, she covered her mouth and tried to hold back the uncomfortable feeling.

She could not vomit. She couldn't. If she vomited the food out in front of Derek, he would be furious.

Meredith forced herself to suffer, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and her stomach churned.

Derek looked at her suffering face and felt unhappy. Was she showing her resistance to him? Because he forced her to eat, so she acted like this?
