The Good Girl's Revenge

Meredith only thought about it for a while, and Derek came back. "The formalities are done. Have you packed everything?"

Meredith nodded. She didn't have anything to pack. This was the VIP ward that Derek had specially arranged. All the daily necessities and other things were available. It was very convenient for her, so she just brought some clothes.

"Then let's go." Derek nodded and took the bag in Meredith's hand.

His subconscious actions warmed Meredith's heart, and she might be stimulated by what the nurse had just said, so she subconsciously called out to Derek, "Derek, I... I have something to tell you." Derek turned around and was about to nod to let her continue when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and took a look. The name on it made him frown.

It was Chloe.

"I'll answer the call and talk to you later.”

With that, Derek walked out.

Meredith and Derek were standing very close just now, so she clearly saw the name on the phone. Chloe...

The name was so familiar. She recalled and quickly remembered who it was.

It must be the girl who used to be Derek's girlfriend and was now abroad.

Meredith's hand tightened on her abdomen. Just now, she wanted to tell him about the child, but... The thought of that name and the way Derek's family and friends teased them instantly dispelled Meredith's decision.

She seemed to be feeling a little sentimental. Fortunately, she didn't say anything.

Derek answered Chloe's call outside. After leaving her place last time, the relationship between the two gradually returned to its usual coldness.

Derek once asked someone to send an expensive gift to Chloe as an apology for his sudden departure that day, but she never contacted him again.

Derek was also proud. Since she refused to accept the apology, he wouldn't lower himself to do anything else.

Unexpectedly, Chloe succumb first.

"Derek, tonight, I'm going back from abroad. Come and pick me up, okay?"

Chloe's tone was a little cautious. The old she would never have imagined that she would speak to Derek like this.

Derek used to pamper her very much, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would try his best to get them back for her.

But now...

At that time, Chloe was still upset after receiving Derek's gift. He just left her alone and didn't even watch her graduation performance. He just wanted to comfort her with a gift, which was too insincere.

Chloe thought that she would have to wait until Derek apologized to her, He must say a lot of nice things to her, and then she would forgive him. However, she didn't expect that Derek had not contacted her since that day.

Only then did she realize that after such a long interval, Derek was no longer the man who loved her as if she was his life. She could no longer act recklessly and be arrogant. In order to get his heart again, she had to take the initiative.

So, after graduation, Chloe decided to return home.

Wasn't it just taking the initiative? They had been together for a long time. As long as she lowered herself, Derek would not refuse.

"Derek, I came back alone. It will be so late then... The airport is so empty. I... I was scared.”

Derek thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up."

Chloe heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'll send you the flight information later. Thank you, Derek."

Derek smiled, not expecting Chloe to be so polite. "No, we're friends. I should help you."

After that, Derek hung up.

Chloe was stunned for a long time by the word "friends."

Friends.

They were just friends now.

However, a moment later, Chloe's gorgeous and beautiful face showed a smile of determination. So what? They could still be lovers.

She didn't believe that Derek had forgotten her.

Derek finished the call and went back to the ward. He still remembered that Meredith wanted to say something to him just now.

Judging from her appearance, he thought it should be very important.

Derek walked into the ward. Meredith was sitting in her chair. When she saw him coming back, she put on a nonchalant expression. "You're back? Let's go now."

Derek frowned involuntarily. "Didn't you just say you had something to tell me?"

Meredith didn't expect him to remember this. She thought about it and smiled. "Oh, I just wanted to thank you for your help recently. I'll cook tonight personally and just wanted to ask you what you'd like to eat."

Meredith told a lie. As for the idea that was so childish that she couldn't stand it, she immediately abandoned it far away.

Fortunately, she was interrupted before she could say anything, or else she would have been awkward.

"Really?" When Derek heard her say that, his frown loosened a little, and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips. "It's rare for you to have such a conscience.”

Meredith was a little speechless. What did he mean by a rare conscience? Was she very heartless before?

However, after thinking about it, she did not seem to have done anything to thank Derek, so she felt guilty. "1 just didn't think of it before.”

Derek, on the other hand, did not keep arguing with her. "I accept your kindness, but the food you cook is not very tasty. I'll take you out to eat.”

Derek remembered the salty soup she had prepared last time. Besides, she was pregnant, so how could she cook?

It would be nice not to throw up because of the odor of cooking oil.

Meredith thought about it and agreed it was true. Besides, she was worried that she would vomit while she was cooking. "Well, I'll treat you to dinner. You can choose any place you want..." Meredith didn't have enough guts to say that last sentence. If Derek picked a Michelin restaurant and ordered expensive food like foie gras and caviar, she would definitely go bankrupt.

"Since you're inviting me, you choose a place.”

Derek immediately saw what Meredith was thinking and laughed in his heart. Instead of giving her a hard time, he used a smart method to make her feel better.

Meredith secretly breathed a sigh of relief but caught the man's teasing gaze. Her face turned red and she could not help coughing twice.

This could not be blamed on her. There was a huge class difference between her and Derek. Things that were very cheap in Derek's eyes might be luxuries that she could not afford.

Thinking about it, Meredith couldn't help but feel a little down.

The difference between him and her was so great. A moment before, she even felt that the child in her belly could narrow the gap.
