Chapter 551
But now she didn''t want to go to Derek now. If she went to him easily, that would make her
determination seem ridiculous.
However, she could not bear to see that Easton was ufortable. She thought about it and was
about to call Derek when a hand reached out from behind and picked up Easton.
"Where are you going?"
Derek had just nced outside when he saw Meredith holding Easton, waiting for the car.
For a moment, Derek did not know what it felt like.
Why was this woman so stubborn at this time and refused to ask for help from him?
"To the hospital, Easton has a stomachache."
When Meredith saw himing, she did not notice that her expression was much more rxed.
"Dad, you''re here."
It was the first time Easton desperately wanted to see Dereke. His stomach was rumbling now,
and he had a feeling that he might not be able to stop getting a run if he didn''t go to the hospital.
"Well, I''ll send you there right away."
Derek carried Easton to the car and looked at Meredith, who was standing still. "Why are you still
standing there?"
Only then did Meredith react and get into the car.
She sat in the back seat with Easton in the safety seat, then couldn''t help but look at Derek in the
driver''s seat.
The line on the man''s face was very tight, and his thin lips were now slightly pursed, forming a nervous
arc.
Although he didn''t say anything, Meredith could still sense that he was angry.
Inexplicably, she felt a little guilty. Meredith didn''t dare to say anything but keep quiet.
Easton got into Derek''s car and looked a little better. Fortunately, it was his father''s car. If anything
embarrassing happened, no one would see it.
Meredith felt a little guilty when she saw that Easton''s face was covered in sweat.
Was she putting the cart before the horse? To prove that she didn''t need Derek''s help, it was really
wrong for Easton to suffer so much.
"Mom, I''m fine."
Eastonforted her. He knew very well that he had a stomachache because of those snacks. In the
end, it was because he didn''t listen to Meredith, so she didn''t have to me herself like that.
"I''m sorry, Easton."
When Meredith heard this, her nose felt a little sore. Her baby was really too sensible, and why was
she still so childish?
Just as Meredith was reflecting on herself, the car stopped.
Derek ignored her and carried Easton directly to the hospital.
Meredith followed him obediently and closely.
However, Derek was too fast for her to catch up.

She wondered if it was because the man was angry, so he didn''t wait for her.
Derek sent Easton to the doctor, who gave him a simple examination.
"Doctor, how is he now?" Meredith asked anxiously.
Easton was treated by a middle-aged woman. When she saw Meredith, she said in a very impolite
tone, "You are such a terrible mother. Don''t you know that you can''t feed your child too much junk
food? Now it''s just he''s lucky. If he gets appendicitis because of this, you will regret."
The doctor rambled on and on, but Meredith didn''t refute her at all. Instead, she lowered her head and
kept saying she was sorry.
"It''s not that she fed him junk food, it''s me."
Derek couldn''t stand it any longer. Although he was a little annoyed that Meredith would rather take a
taxi than call him, it wasn''t really her fault.
Because Easton had been begging him yesterday, hepromised.
The doctor took a look at Derek and found that the man didn''t look like an ordinary person, and he was
very handsome, so she resisted the urge to continue preaching.
"All right, I''ll prescribe him some medicine and give him an injection hereter. He should be fine by
tomorrow."
Meredith thanked the doctor immediately, then led Easton out for an injection.
Not long after, the nurse came.
Easton was lying on the hospital bed, having an intravenous drip, and he looked much better than
before.
Meredith sat by the bed and watched Easton. Just then, she heard the nurses chirping outside.
"Wow, did you see that man just now? He''s so handsome."
"Yes, and he looks like a rich man. That woman is really lucky."
"I want to have a husband like him who rushed over so quickly and didn''t let anyone scold her. I''m so
envious."
Meredith was a little embarrassed by what these people said, but she couldn''t deny her rtionship
with Derek.
Derek came back with the medicine and some food. He didn''t hear what they said. He just walked in
and looked at Meredith. "Come out with meter. I have something to say to you."
Meredith nodded and looked at Derek. He must have something to say to her.
After a while, Easton seemed to be a little sleepy. Meredith saw that he was asleep, and called the
nurse to watch for him, then walked out with Derek.
"What do you want to say to me?"
Derek stood in the corridor and nced at her. "Why didn''t youe to me directly today?"
Meredith''s expression froze and didn''t know what to say.
"I just don''t want to trouble anyone."
This made Derek want tough. How could she say so? Were they that distant?
It seemed that this woman was really determined to chase him out of her life.
But that was impossible.
"Even if we don''t have anything to do with each other right now, can you erase my rtionship with
Easton? No matter what you think, he''s my son. It''s my responsibility for me to take care of him."
Meredith didn''t know how to answer. She felt as if she had done something wrong, so she apologized.
"I see. It will not happen again. But you''re wrong. Why did you take Easton out to the junk foodst
night? Didn''t you know he had a bad stomachst time?"
Meredith thought for a moment and felt that Derek was wrong, and that she was not the only one who
should be med.
When Derek heard this, he raised his eyebrows. "Isn''t it because you haven''t let Easton see me past
few days? I''ve finally met him. Can I refuse his request?"
Although it was his fault, Derek still found a very dignified excuse.
Meredith looked at him speechlessly and closed her eyes. So it was all her fault.
"Then what is the right thing to do?"
"At the very least, you can''t shorten our time together. You care about Easton, and so do I."
