Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 631 Apology

News of Meryl's hospitalization spread quickly.

Not long after Felix left her room, a whole crowd from the Aniston family showed up, bustling in with concern and well

wishes.

Cameron entered with a large bag of supplements. "Meryl, my family runs a health supplement company. These are great for pregnant women. If you like them, I can bring you more later." Halle chimed in, not wanting to be outdone, "And I brought some fruits-organic and all-natural!"

Meryl felt a bit overwhelmed but couldn't refuse their kindness. She accepted everything graciously, even as the room filled with chatter.

Dylan also popped in to offer his well-meaning advice about taking good care of herself.

Yet, as the crowd gathered, she couldn't help but notice the absence of Charlotte and her family.

It was probably for the best; she had no desire to see any of them -Charlotte, Dalton, or Lydia. Their absence was a relief.

With everyone there to see her, Meryl felt it would be rude to ask them to leave.

fámily.

The conversations felt forced, and fatigue began to set in.

Cameron, however, was loud and determined to keep the chatter going.

Just when Meryl thought she couldn't take anymore, Anne walked in, and it felt like a lifeline.

Anne declared, eyeing the crowd, "Alright, everyone. I think you've all seen enough. Meryl needs to rest now."

Cameron and the others took the hint and started to file out.

As the door closed behind them, Anne grasped Meryl's hand, concern etched on her face. "Seriously, you don't have to put up with them. If you don't like their company, just send them packing. Why suffer through it?" Meryl sighed, "They're Chandler's family, after all. I have to keep up appearances. We'll see each other again, so it's best to keep things cordial."

Plus, they were all older than her. If she outright told them to leave, it would look terrible if word got around.

Anne nodded, understanding. "I get it. I felt the same way about Dante's family. Every time I had to face them, I was a bundle of nerves, trying to play the dutiful wife.

"But you've got it better than I did. At least Chandler is on your side. Dante? He was nowhere to be found, leaving me alone with his relatives."
