Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Megan didn't clearly express her stance. "Well, it's not the first time he's brought a woman home. Just let him be!" Ever since she married Jimmy, she knew he was a perverted man; he wouldn't have married her otherwise. Nonetheless, she couldn't care less about that since she had already grown used to it. "Take me back to the Yard Residence. We'll only go home after that."

The driver did as he was told and took Megan to the destination. When she entered the house, she saw Jezebelle sitting in a trance in the living room. While the house was already desolated in the first place, Roland's absence only added to its bleakness and solemnity with Jezebelle alone in it. Megan then walked closer to her mother and sat beside her. "I'm sorry about Dad, Mom! But he is gone, and we've gotta move on."

Jezebelle snapped out of her trance and asked, "How was it? You talked to Selena, right? What did she say? Is she willing to spare Meredith?"

Megan sighed and replied, "Mom, do you have any idea Meredith did to Selena? She tried to kill her. If someone tried to kill you, would you let that person go unpunished?"

Jezebelle rolled her eyes and said, "So that means Selena is reluctant to go easy on Meredith. Oh, dear, what are we going to do now? Megan, you need to help Meredith! She is your sister!"

Megan looked at her mother and sighed while gently patting the back of her hand. "Mom, I need to go home for now. I've been away for a few days, and the Astleys are probably not going to be happy about that. So I need to go back and talk to them before I can take you in. Once everything is settled, we'll live together from that point onward."

Meanwhile, Jezebelle only sobbed in silence, unable to utter a single word.

"Don't worry. I might not be able to promise you a rich life, but I can at least guarantee that you won't have to worry about making ends meet."

"I'm now worried about Meredith..."

"Why are you so worried about her?! She asked for it!" Megan agitatedly yelled out before she quickly kept herself together, leaving Jezebelle confused about her daughter's sudden outburst.

"Mom, I'll do my best to help Meredith out. I should go now." Megan walked out the door and got into the car.

On her way back, Megan's mind wasProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

flooded with bits and pieces of her childhood memories with Meredith. Since Meredith was obedient and outstanding in many ways, Megan had always been living in her

the theme park back then. Although it was their summer holiday, Roland and Jezebelle didn't allow them to go out by themselves, not to mention the fact that they didn't have much pocket money.

At that time, Meredith abetted Megan to go to the theme park with her, assuring her that everything would be fine as long as they made it back home before dark. Besides, she even told Megan where their parents hid their money and made her steal it before they sneaked away from home. When they returned, they were caught with everyone pointing their finger at Megan since Meredith was always perceived to be the good girl. Furthermore, the security footage showed Megan stealing the money, which resulted in a severe corporal punishment.

That didn't just happen once or twice. Maybe Selena was right! Meredith had been using me as her tool to achieve her goal! Why didn't I realize that? I was just so dumb!

Upon arriving home, Megan didn't

for going missing for days.

Seemingly worn out by everything that had happened in the past few days, Megan simply looked lackadaisical and tired. Not long after that, she had a headache and nausea that made her feet so uncomfortable that she decided to go to the hospital. Sitting in front of the doctor, she could barely hide her tiredness. "What's wrong with me, doctor? I've not been feeling well recently, yet I can't really tell which part of me is wrong."

The doctor smiled at her and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Astley! You're pregnant!"

"W-What? I-I'm pregnant?" Megan couldn't believe her ears as she wondered how she could be pregnant.
