Chapter 177
Meredith opened her mouth weakly, trying to explain. She just wanted to get out of here and not disturb
anyone's life. "I didn't think about what you said. Am I that bad in your heart? I..."
However, in the middle of her sentence, Derek interrupted her impatiently.

Meredith took a deep breath and swallowed the words that she intended to say. Since Derek didn't
want to hear and believe them, there was really no need for her to continue.
The two of them remained silent. After a while, Derek's phone rang and he left in a hurry.
Meredith ignored him, and just opened her eyes when the man left. She was tired.
...
After Meredith was taken away, Parker began to ask subordinates to find out her whereabouts.
However, in J City, the Xaviers's power could be said to be unmatched, and even if Parker mobilized all
resources he had, he could not find her.
Parker didn't know how Meredith was now.
Worry and anger flashed in Parker's eyes. He hated his helplessness. Derek was a madman. He
couldn't hurt Meredith so easily and unconcernedly.
It was just...
He had always thought that the feelings between Derek and Meredith might not be so deep. After all, at
most, Meredith had only been out of prison for a year. Could the affection between them be that
profound?
Or did Derek already know Parker's identity and deliberately make things difficult for him?
Thinking of this, Parker put out the cigarette in his hand. This time, he did not want to lose again. He
wanted to let Derek suffer failure and the loss of his lover. He wanted Derek to experience all the
suffering Parker had suffered before.
...
Derek returned to the Xaviers, and Violet was anxiously waiting for his news.
Seeing Derek come back, she walked over. "How's it going? Have you dealt with her? That woman
Meredith, have you driven her out?"
The matter between Parker and Meredith now became a source of Violet's anxiety. Undue delay might
bring trouble. Violet hoped that Derek would not let her down.
"I've dealt with her."
Derek indeed knew his mother's idea. She thought they should drive Meredith and Parker out of the J
City, but...
In the end, he went against her wishes. The thought of letting Meredith and Parker live a happy life
abroad together with their illegitimate child made his heart burn like it was on a fire. He felt twisted and
painful.
"Parker still has some influence in the J City. We can't kick him out for a while."
Derek was indeed thinking about getting Parker out of the J City. If he left, would Meredith stop having
unrealistic fantasies?
"For this, I believe you. What about Meredith? What did you do to her? What about the bastard in her
womb?"
At the thought that Meredith gave birth to another man's child instead of Derek's and let Derek be this
illegitimate child's father, Violet wished she could find her and forced her to have an abortion because
she was so brazen.
"Mother, I know how to do it."
Derek was questioned, and rubbed his temples. He really had a headache.
How could he not understand what Violet meant? But now that Meredith's child was five months old. He
had just asked the doctor who had been responsible for her antenatal care. Because she was already
weak and the embryo was already five months old, if he forced her to have an abortion, Meredith would
not be able to have a child in the future.
Therefore, Derek could not make up his mind on this matter.
As soon as Violet heard this, she knew that Meredith didn't have an abortion. She thought about it.
"Forget it, this child has nothing to do with us. Anyway, just don't let her have the chance to gain any
benefits by her illegitimate child. Derek, you should know her real colours this time, so don't believe her
lies anymore."
Violet was really worried that Derek would be deceived by Meredith's pitiful appearance. "By the way,
how is Chloe now? Why haven't I seen her since that time?"
Seeing that Violet did not pursue the matter of aborting Meredith's child, Derek heaved a sigh of relief.
"She is ill now and is being treated in the hospital."
"What's wrong with her? Is it serious?"
Violet saw that Derek was not very concerned about Chloe's illness and felt a little powerless. "Why
didn't you tell me earlier? Chloe grew up in front of me anyway. She is sick, so I have to go and see
her."
Of course, the main goal was to increase the time Derek and Chloe spent together. Violet understood
that the best way to give up a relationship was to start a new one.
Meredith just took advantage of the fact that Derek just recovered from his coma and still had a grudge
against Chloe.
Derek thought for a while. Chloe's illness was clearly caused by anxiety, and she might do not want
others to see her in such a mess. "She's not seriously ill. She'll be fine after a good rest. You don't have
to worry."
"Why don't I need to worry? I'll visit her tomorrow, and you'll go with me."
Violet didn't give Derek a chance to refuse, and she quickly settled on this.
Derek thought about it. Since she wanted to go, then they would go. Maybe Chloe's condition would be
better. After all, he promised to accompany Chloe every week to help her get better.
Violet saw that Derek was not too resistant to this and then said earnestly, "That's what you should do.
After all, Chloe has grown up with you from childhood and knows everything about you. No matter
what, she won't be like that kind of unsavory woman who only wants to plot against you."
...
Meredith fell asleep but suddenly sneezed.
Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep in a daze on the bed, and the windows and door
were still wide open. The cold wind blew through them, bringing a chill that made her shiver
uncontrollably.
She shouldn't have fallen asleep like this. What if she caught a cold?
Now that she had a baby in her womb, she couldn't stand it. Meredith was a little upset.
Outside, it began to rain. Meredith walked over and saw the bodyguards standing guard at the door
through the open window. Although no one passed by, they were still standing there in a cautious
manner and did not dare to move.
Meredith frowned. She was in the third floor now. She was pregnant, so did not have a chance to jump
down from such a high place. If she failed, she and her child would be dead.
All the other entrances and exits were firmly guarded by these people. Even now, they were still
standing there in a cautious manner, so she had no way to escape.
What should she do?
Meredith closed the window in frustration. She couldn't waste time here any longer. When the baby
was born and Derek really wanted to hurt her child, everything would be too late.
