Meredith seemed disbelieving. She remembered that Derek could drive or something. Could someone just get lost indoors?

Thinking about it, she felt that they were fooling her.

However, after thinking about it, it wasn't a big deal to take him to a restaurant, so Meredith nodded helplessly.

"Okay, come with me."

Derek responded and looked at Easton, “Easton, it's okay for you to stay here alone?"

Easton thought about it. It was getting dark now. If he was alone in a strange hospital ward, he felt scared, "l want to go with you."

Meredith took a look at the little guy. She didn't expect that Easton, who was usually fearless, to be scared now.

"Easton, are you afraid?"

“No, I'm not."

How could Easton admit that he was scared? He was stubborn, "If I'm here alone, you're not at ease with your meal, right? I'm cute and handsome. If anyone likes me and kidnaps me, you would cry.” Hearing this, Meredith shook her head helplessly. The boy was always like this. She could not even refute him.

"Okay! We're worried about you. Let's go. Your stomach is fine now. It doesn’t matter if you go with us."

After that, Meredith went over to carry Easton.

Seeing this, Derek quickly walked over, "Let me do this."

Meredith thought for a moment. Holding Easton was a little bit hard for her, so she didn't insist. Meredith walked ahead and Derek followed her, holding Easton in his arms.

Derek's eyes were on Meredith, never moving away.

Seeing this, Easton witnessed PDA, "Dad, did you do something to my stomach on purpose. Look how happy you are now."

Derek immediately looked at the little guy in his arms, "Easton, do you think I dare not hit you because you have a stomachache now."

This little guy really deserved a beating when he was joking. That night, he begged him to take him out for supper in all sorts of cute and pitiful ways.

Unfortunately, he made unfounded countercharges.

"I was joking."

Hearing he would be beaten, Easton became well-behaved.

They were outside. If the nurses found out that he was beaten by his father, he would felt embarrassed.

"What are you talking about?”

Meredith couldn't help but ask when she heard them whispering.

"No, nothing."

Easton immediately waved his hand.

Meredith didn't ask anymore and walked to the entrance of the restaurant. Because it was dinnertime, there were a lot of people inside.

"Easton, you and your dad go find a seat. I go buy something to eat.”

Meredith was familiar with the hospital the most. Without much thinking, she let them find seats first and she went to buy food.

Derek took a glance, there were a lot of people waiting in line and said. "I will go to buy something to eat. Take care of him."

After that, he handed Easton to Meredith. Before she could answer, the man had left.

"Dad must be afraid of those people squeezing you. He seemed to have learned to be tender from me, knowing to love you."

Seeing this, Easton nodded with relief. Although he was trying to put in a good word for Derek, he did not forget to praise himself.

Seeing Easton be like this, Meredith shook her head.

Why exactly did this little guy be so narcissistic? She wasn't narcissistic, and Derek was cold and aloof.

Could it be that Derek was like this when he was young?

Imaging that, Meredith couldn't bear it.

"Mom, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Meredith distracted, Easton could not help but ask.

"Nothing."

Meredith shook her head, repelling this weird image from her mind.

At this time, Derek came back and bought some food according to Meredith's taste that he remembered.

Seeing the food, Meredith felt distressed, not expecting that Derek remembered what she liked to eat.

"What's wrong? You don't like it? Why don't you eat?"

Seeing Meredith in a daze, Derek reminded her to eat.

"Oh, OK."

Meredith lowered her head and hid her emotion.

For a moment, she faltered.

Meredith kept eating with her head down. Derek thought that she was weird, but he picked up some food for her from time to time, looking sweet.

After dinner, Derek carried Easton back to the ward.

Meredith walked behind him, staring blankly at his back.

It seemed that she couldn't stay with this man for too long. Any of his actions could change her mind

Back in the room, Easton rubbed his eyes, looking sleepy.

"Easton, I'll sleep with you here." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meredith looked at the bed. Although it was a little small, it should be big enough for her and Easton.

"Good!"

Easton made space for Meredith.

Derek frowned, "Maybe we should change the ward."

Because they came hastily, here was not like J City where they could go to a hospital invested by the Xaviers. The conditions in this hospital were really primitive.

He couldn't bear to see them suffering.

"It's fine. We just stay here one night.”

Meredith waved her hand and refused. Easton didn't say anything. Seeing that they had no objections, Derek couldn't say anything, so he gave up his idea.

They washed up and went to sleep.

Derek did not fall asleep fast, looking at the two people by the moonlight.

At this moment, Easton began to move restlessly.

He didn't behave well when he was sleeping. It was fine if he didn't sleep sound at first, but he started to move around when he was asleep.

It seemed that he would fall out of the bed at any moment.

Derek sighed, got up, got a chair, sat beside the bed, pulled up the covers on them, and then closed his eyes.

The night passed like this.

The next morning, Meredith opened her eyes as she felt the sunlight coming in.

However, it was Derek's face that came into view.

It was only then that she realized that the man had been sleeping in a chair by the bed all night. What happened?

Meredith sat up, and Derek opened his eyes. After all, it was not comfortable to sleep on the chair. And he was not dead to the world when he slept, so he woke up as soon as there was some noise. "Are you awake?"

Derek glanced at Meredith and spoke in a low, hoarse voice that was because he just woke up. Meredith's heart skipped a beat for no reason, "Yes. Why are you sleeping here? Isn't there a bed there?"

"I slept late and saw Easton moving around on the bed. I was afraid that he would fall."
