Chapter 86
Chapter 86
Meredith went out the same way she came in, because the hospital didn't want to take responsibility for
her, so she probably couldn't have the surgery.
Walking in a daze, she even thought of going to a irregular hospital and getting rid of the child.
But after all, she didn't go. If she was unlucky and died on the operating table, it would really be over. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Meredith sat in a chair in a daze. At this moment, a young mother pushed a cart past her. Inside, a
white and fat baby lied in it. From time to time, she babbled and stretched out her small fists, as if trying
to attract her mother's attention.
Meredith's eyes fell on it.
In fact, she still liked children. As a woman who once yearned for a family, she was afraid that she
could not get pregnant after having her uterus removed.
After a long time, she suddenly came to her senses.
This was her child and had nothing to do with the man that day. After so long, she might not be able to
find him and bring him to justice.
But this child was innocent. She wanted to keep it.
Thinking about it, Meredith felt a pain in her lower abdomen, as if the child in her belly was responding
to her thoughts.
Although it was impossible for such a small embryo to do such a thing, it still gave Meredith some
comfort.
Perhaps this was fate, and she could only accept it.
After deciding to keep the child, Meredith began to think about her and the child's future.
She couldn't stay in the Xaviers any longer. Derek hated her because she lost her virginity. If he knew
she was pregnant, he would force her to abort the baby.
So... She had to move out of the Xaviers as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, Meredith called Julius and asked him to help her find a place to live outside.
"Are you finally going to jump out of that wolf's den?"
Julius was very happy for Meredith when he heard about this. In his opinion, the Xaviers was too
dangerous for her. Leaving as soon as possible was the best choice.
"Well, it should be... Soon." Meredith nodded.
She had just thought that even if Derek did not agree to the divorce, she could go straight to the Old
Master and ask him not to make things difficult for her while she was at the Xaviers because of her
obedience.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll do it for you." The last time Julius helped Meredith find her mother, he didn't
make it. He was feeling a little guilty, so he was very concerned about this.
Soon, Meredith found a suitable house.
It was a small one-bedroom apartment, but Meredith was very satisfied. It was not big and could not
compare to the luxurious and spacious the Xaviers. However, she could relax and have freedom here.
Meredith decided to make it clear to the Old Master immediately. The child in her belly could not wait
long. A long delay might cause trouble. It had to be solved as soon as possible.
...
That night, Meredith went to the Old Master's study, where he often stayed at night, and knocked on
the door. A voice came from inside. "Come in."
Meredith walked in, feeling a little nervous, and she saw Derek inside.
The grandfather and his grandson were each holding a chess piece on the chessboard, and she
seemed a little redundant in this harmonious picture.
"Grandpa Xavier, I have something to say." Meredith thought about it and decided to say it.
"Just say it." Derek glanced at her and ordered faintly.
"No, these words can only be spoken to Grandpa Xavier alone." Meredith refused to back down. She
didn't want to get involved with Derek in this matter.
"Well, Derek, you should go out first." Mr. Xavier gave Meredith a strange look.
She had been in the Xaviers for a long time, always submissive and not daring to show off. This was
the first time he had seen her so tough.
Derek frowned and his face darkened. He looked at Meredith and said to Mr. Xavier, "I'll play chess
with you later."
Derek left, and Meredith took two steps forward. "Grandpa Xavier, I'm very grateful to you for bringing
me out of prison. Although I don't understand your purpose, I did everything you asked me to do."
"Now, I want to leave the Xaviers and live my own life. Can you just go through my divorce with
Derek?"
Mr. Xavier looked at Meredith in surprise. During this time, the divorce between Derek and Meredith
had been on his agenda, but the last time he asked Derek, the latter didn't say anything. As a senior,
he didn't want to go against the young, so he didn't force him to go through it.
Unexpectedly, it was Meredith who proposed the word "divorce".
"Why do you suddenly have this idea?"
"I..." Meredith hesitated. "I don't think it's good for me or Derek to be in the Xaviers, so I want to leave."
Mr. Xavier nodded. "Since you said so, well, I will do this. I promised you that when you leave the
Xaviers, you will be given a sum of money and a good job. Don't worry, you won't be missing."
Meredith shook her head. "No, I just want a promise from you."
"What's the promise?"
"In the future, no matter what, don't send me to prison again. I don't want to go back to that hell on
earth."
Mr. Xavier nodded. "Okay, okay, I can write a document to prove it. You can rest assured that you did a
good job in the Xaviers. I'm not that strict."
Meredith was overjoyed to hear this. Now, she no longer had to be afraid of being sent back to prison
by the Xaviers, so she could do whatever she wanted.
"You go back first. I'll get the divorce done tomorrow. When that happens, you can move out directly."
Meredith nodded. She understood that Mr. Xavier had been waiting for a long time, so there was no
need to worry that it would take too long.
After walking out, Meredith found that Derek did not go far, but smoked a cigarette not far from the
door.
Pregnant women couldn't smoke secondhand smoke. Meredith subconsciously wanted to pass him,
but Derek suddenly grabbed her hand. "What did you just say to grandpa? Why did you say it behind
my back?"
"You can ask grandpa about this. As for me, I have nothing to say."
Meredith wrinkled her nose and held her breath, preventing the smoke from entering her chest and
affecting the baby.
Every time she talked to Derek about the divorce, he was always in a strange mood. She was in a
special situation and couldn't stand his anger.
Derek looked at her cold and stubborn face and had a strange feeling in his heart. He let go of his
hand. "You whet my appetite. I hope you didn't ask grandpa to back you up, then you're being too
sentimental."
Meredith did not reply but took another deep look at him. This should be the last time they were at
daggers drawn.
Everything was about to end.
