Chapter 454 He's the One Chasing After Me

1/4

Charlotte's face darkened as she scolded, "Lydia, what were you thinking? Didn't we get you a driver? Why are you driving yourself when you're pregnant?"

The entire family had pinned their hopes on this child to elevate their status, and now it seemed all was lost.

Morton's expression was just as grim. "How did this accident. happen? Dalton just woke up, and now the baby is gone. Can you imagine how devastated he'll be?" Morton had just returned to the country and was clearly out of the loop.

In truth, Dalton wasn't upset at all. He was probably glad to see the child gone.

Lydia clenched her fists. After such a major incident, someone needed to take the blame. She couldn't let everyone put it all on her.

Her standing in the Aniston family was already low, and if she became known as a failure who couldn't even protect her own child, she'd be looked down upon even more.

Lydia quickly said, "It was Meryl She was jealous that I was carrying Dalton's child, so she rammed into me with her car! You have to get justice for me!"

Chapter 454 He's the One Chasing After Me Charlotte's face, which was already dark from hearing that the child was at risk of miscarriage, turned even angrier when she learned that the car accident was supposedly Meryl's doing. She paced up and down the hospital room, furious.

Barely two minutes later, Lydia clutched her stomach, wincing, "Mom, it really hurts..."

After a series of tests, the doctor shook his head and said, "It's too late. The baby can't be saved.

"Since the pregnancy was already in the second trimester, the fetus is developed. A medication-induced abortion may not be sufficient; a surgical procedure will be necessary."

Lydia was wheeled into the operating room, tears streaming down her face.

"My baby....

Charlotte seethed with rage. "First they broke three of Dalton's ribs, and now they've caused this accident with Lydia. What are they trying to do? It's intolerable!"

Morton turned to Malcolm. "Malcolm, both of them are your daughters. What's your take on this?"

Malcolm's face was stone cold. He'd seen Lydia suffering in agony just before she was taken into surgery.

He knew that Lydia's position in the Aniston family was precarious, and if he didn't handle this situation properly, her future would be

Chapter 454 He's the One Chasing After Me 3/4 even more difficult.

Malcolm said, "We're all reasonable people here. Naturally, I stand with the one who has been wronged."

"Meryl has become too reckless. Now that she has Chandler's support, she thinks she can do whatever she wants! How could she be so ruthless toward her own sister?

"A car accident! That's no small matter! We're talking about a human life here!

With Malcolm's endorsement, Morton urged Charlotte to call Meryl immediately.

Just as Meryl arrived at the hospital, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Charlotte, she had a good idea of what was coming.

"Meryl, Lydia's baby is gone. I won't let you get away with this!" Charlotte shouted the moment Meryl answered.

"Are you still hung up on Dalton? Is that why you're jealous that Lydia was carrying his child? How could you be so cruel? No wonder Dalton left you. It's exactly what you deserve!" Charlotte's accusations poured out like a torrent of anger, all directed at Meryl.

Chandler was at the registration desk getting their paperwork done while Meryl held the phone, her voice ice-cold.

"First of all, it was Dalton who wouldn't leave me alone. So maybe you should open your eyes and see clearly. Was it really him who didn't want me, or was it me who didn't want him?

Chapter 454 He's the One Chasing After Me "Secondly, Lydia's baby was lost because of her own actions. As for your claim that I'm jealous of Lydia, it's nothing, could be further from the truth. I'm pregnant myself, after all." Charlotte was stunned for a few seconds, clearly not expecting Meryl to reveal that she was expecting.

"Whose child are you carrying? Dalton's?"

Meryl was speechless.

She thought, "Do they have any common sense? Why do they both keep assuming that I'm pregnant with Dalton's child?"

Meryl replied coolly, "Dalton? Do you really think he's worthy?"

Charlotte snapped, "Meryl, you come over here right now! We need to settle this matter properly!"

"And why should I listen to you?" Meryl retorted.
