Chapter 58: Gossiping and Sneezing
Fiona didn’t come to see Meredith these past few days, as she was busy arranging for someone to buy abortion pills.
She couldn’t let Meredith’s child be born, as it would eventually pose a threat.
Replacing the health supplements with abortion pills, Fiona used a bottle labeled as health supplements, but the pills inside were abortion pills.
Before taking action, Fiona struggled internally, but she found a good reason for herself – giving birth alone is so difficult for Meredith, so she was doing it for Meredith’s own good.
Meredith is young, and she shouldn’t be ruined by a child for the rest of her life.
“Meredith, take this on time. Once you finish, I’ll buy you more,” Fiona pushed down her guilt and put on a fake smile, “I’ll be on my way now. Don’t bother cooking for yourself, it’s too troublesome. Order takeout instead.”
As she spoke, Fiona’s phone rang. It was the person she had an appointment with urging her to hurry.
Meredith didn’t stop Fiona from leaving. Once Fiona left, she put away the health supplements, originally intending to cook. But thinking about Fiona’s words, she ordered takeout instead.
Today, she would just be lazy.
Half an hour later, the takeout arrived, and Meredith ate before going to bed.
Meredith had a habit that whenever she encountered something, she liked to sleep with her head covered, even if the sky fell down, she would sleep before dealing with it.
Meredith slept soundly. On the other side, Terrence Sterling and Harvey Fieldmouse were drinking at the club, one glass after another.
Terrence Sterling was angry.
He had just admitted his feelings for Meredith, and now this woman had a child on the way. Wasn’t this a slap in the face?
Harvey Fieldmouse didn’t know what had happened, and he was afraid to ask Terrence Sterling. Terrence Sterling wouldn’t say anything either, so he could only ask Linda privately.
One question led to a shock.
Meredith was pregnant.
Was Terry heartbroken?
No, to be precise, it hadn’t even started before it ended.
Watching Terrence Sterling continue to drink, Harvey Fieldmouse advised, “Terry, drink less. Why long for just one flower when there are other flowers around?”
Terrence Sterling’s eyes were red, reeking of alcohol, and his gaze was cold. He coldly looked at Harvey Fieldmouse, saying, “Meredith is just a subordinate. Who’s in love with her?”
“I didn’t mention Miss Florrick,” Harvey Fieldmouse said, “Terry, maybe you have feelings for her in your heart.”
Terrence Sterling remained silent.
“Terry, is Miss Florrick really pregnant? Whose child is it?” Harvey Fieldmouse gossiped, “Based on my vast experience with women, Miss Florrick doesn’t seem like a woman of loose morals. Is there a misunderstanding here?”
With a glass of strong liquor in his hand, Terrence Sterling flashed back to Meredith and Justin’s chat history.
“She admitted it herself,” Terrence Sterling poured another drink into his mouth. “This woman is full of lies. She even banged on my table. I’m her boss, and I didn’t even mention firing her. Yet, she packed up and left on her own.”
Harvey Fieldmouse asked, “Terry, if you’re not in love with Miss Florrick, why are you upset? Her pregnancy has nothing to do with you. What rule or law says women can’t get pregnant in the company?”
Terrence Sterling was stunned by the question. What was he upset about?
He and Meredith had nothing but a superior-subordinate relationship. Whether Meredith was pregnant or had a boyfriend, he had no right to interfere.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Seeing Terrence Sterling’s reaction, Harvey Fieldmouse couldn’t help but tease, “Terry, are you jealous? Deceived by Miss Florrick?”
“Harvey Fieldmouse,” Terrence Sterling almost spat out those three words.
“Terry, I’m just analyzing reasonably,” Harvey Fieldmouse moved away a bit, afraid of getting hit later. “I believe Miss Florrick is single. Perhaps there’s more to her pregnancy, like being deceived by a man, or mistreated, abandoned. Men often clean up their mess and deny it, it’s all possible. When you think about it, Miss Florrick is really pitiful. The man who abandoned her is a scumbag.”
As the words fell, Terrence Sterling sneezed. Harvey Fieldmouse quickly said, “Terry, who’s badmouthing you behind your back?”
This wasn’t behind the back, it was right in front.
Little did Harvey Fieldmouse know that the scumbag who would abandon someone like that was none other than Terrence Sterling himself.
