Chapter 178


    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 ording 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 vi, 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, noputer, but only a


    buzzing TV, which was ying a boring love drama. She had no intention of watching it.


    She was really tired of this kind of the false story of Cindere 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 ss?


    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 toe here, his clothes were soaked.


    Meredith did not expect he would go here. After all, it was a remote ce 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 toe


    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 waspletely 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 yed 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.


    "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 waspletely 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 ced it on the table.


    Meredith looked at it and walked over numbly. She ate the food bit by bit, but the bad smelling 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 ufortable 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?
