The girl who was still sobbing a minute ago was now grinning from ear to ear when Meredith started eating.

After clearing the bowl of pasta, Meredith looked up at the girl and thanked her, “Thank you for the food, I really appreciate it.”

With the empty bowl in her hands, the girl smiled and said, “You’re welcome. I’m happy as long as the baby is healthy.”

“Thank you, but…” Meredith noticed that the girl seemed somewhat mentally unstable, but still, she said to her, “Miss, can you please help me keep a secret and don’t tell anyone about my child?”

“Why do we have to keep it a secret?”

“Because they are evil people out there who want to kill my baby, so I have to keep it a secret.”

Upon hearing that the baby might be in danger, the girl put a serious look on her face and pressed a finger on her lips making a hush sign. She then said, “Okay, we’ll keep it a secret. We’ll protect the baby.”

Meredith did not expect to meet a kind-hearted person even when she was in this miserable situation.

Even though the girl was mentally unstable, Meredith was still grateful.

“I’m Meredith Leighton, but you can call me Edith,” Meredith introduced herself and asked, “May I know how I should address you?”

“I’m Qira Francis,” answered the girl.
