Hearing this, Meredith opened her mouth and wanted to refute him, but she could not think of any words.

She had wanted Easton to get used to the life without Derek. But now, that seemed to be a selfish thing to do.

After all, the father would play an important role as a child grew up.

"We'll talk about it later..."

Meredith didn't say anything and just avoided the topic.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Easton is alone inside. I'm going to accompany him."

After that, she walked over and avoided Derek.

Seeing her escape, the man sighed helplessly. He had many ways to make others surrender, but he could do nothing to her.

Meredith went into the ward and touched Easton's hand which was a little cold. She noticed that the infusion seemed to be a little fast.

As she slowed down the speed of infusion, Derek came in.

Meredith glanced at him. "I'll get a hot water bag to warm the medicinal liquid."

He nodded. Meredith went out and asked a nurse to take her to a shop for she didn't know where to buy it.

The nurse was genial when Meredith talked to her.

"I'll take you there.”

After Meredith thanked her politely and followed her, the nurse kept gossiping with Derek.

"Is that man your husband? He looks so handsome. How do you know him?"

"Well, we... are divorced."

Meredith was a little embarrassed but still talking with the nurse for she still needed help.

"What?" The little nurse heard this and felt sorry for her. "But, I think he's still very good to you? You know, a lot of successful men don't care about their children at all. They let you raise children alone. So, if he doesn't make any serious mistakes, you should reconsider the relationship with him." Meredith was embarrassed and just wanted to get to the shop quickly for the little nurse was a little too gossipy.

"Then why are you divorced? Did he keep a mistress outside?"

Meredith shook her head. Although she didn't want to answer such a personal question, she still needed to clarify it.

After all, Derek never cheated on her.

"No, it's not like that."

Hearing Meredith's denial, the nurse widened her eyes. "Then how did you..."

"We are not the right one for each other. You only see the benefits of marrying a man like him, instead of the difficulties behind this marriage.”

When finishing her talking, Meredith was a little surprised.

When did her state of mind become like this? She had lost the courage to pursue love for a long time.

Perhaps, she became more experienced or more timid. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Is that so..."

The nurse thought for a moment and said nothing. She seemed to be deep in thought. Meredith breathed a sigh of relief, bought a hot water bag, filled it with hot water, and went back to the ward. "Easton, warm your hands.”

Meredith adjusted the bag so that it would warm the potion but not scald Easton.

The infusion ended soon.

The doctor came to check o Easton. "If you don't have anything to do, let him stay in the hospital for one night, to avoid the need of seeing a doctor if he has a stomachache.”

"Okay."

Meredith didn't care. She had nothing to do here anyway.

"If you're busy, go back first. I'll just stay here."

However, Meredith said naturally when she felt that Derek might be a little busy.

Derek glanced at her. Did this woman listen to what he just said?

"I have nothing to do."

Derek sat there and looked at Easton. "Besides, Easton wants me to be with him, doesn't he?" Easton nodded especially cooperatively.

Meredith took a look at the ward. It was just an ordinary ward with a small bed, which was not regarded as a comfortable environment like in J City.

Derek stayed. Where did he sleep?

How could Derek not see what she was thinking?

"It's okay. I can sleep here.”

He pointed to the chair beside him and refused to leave.

"Then, whatever."

Hearing Derek's words, Meredith could do nothing but to agree.

At night, when Easton's stomach stopped hurting, he said he was hungry. But Meredith did not dare to give him pungent food but made him eat some mild porridge or something.

"Easton, are you afraid to eat those food next time?"

Meredith couldn't help teasing the little guy as she fed him porridge.

This child, unexpectedly, was a greedy pig.

As a result, he had diarrhea twice.

"You can eat less next time."

Easton did not panic at all. After all, the last time he pretended to have a stomachache was aimed to sabotage Parker's scheme.

He just needed to be careful next time.

"Awesome."

Meredith couldn't help but commend Easton on his courage.

Seeing the mother and son chatting, Derek did not interrupt and sat quietly.

He treasured the peaceful moment of family reunion.

When Meredith finished feeding Easton and was about to wash her hands, Derek stopped her. "You only remember to feed Easton. How about yourself?"

Meredith looked at the leftovers of Easton's meal. "Forget it. I'll eat those. If you want to eat, go to the restaurant and get some food..."

Meredith was always very casual about her own affairs and didn’t want to waste food.

Derek looked at the leftovers, only including a little porridge and bland dishes. Could she eat enough?

"I don't know where the canteen is,” the man said boldly.

"Then you can ask a nurse to take you there.”

Meredith didn't believe that no one would take him there if he asked someone for help.

Those young nurses were captivated by him and couldn't wait to get along with him for a while.

"It is troublesome.”

Derek still didn't want to go.

Easton could figure out Derek's intention that Derek just wanted to have dinner with his mother? "Mom, you can take dad with you. He has no sense of direction and can't find it."

Easton couldn't help but tease Derek, although he was trying to speak up for him

Meredith couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Did Derek had no sense of direction?

Really?

She didn't seem to notice it before.

When Derek heard this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. This guy..

However, he still nodded. "It's difficult for me to find direction in an enclosed space, so I need you to lead the way."
