Cooper nodded, trying to let Mommy rest.Meredith shook her head. "I don't, I'm fine, I want to hold my precious son."She was afraid that if she did not hold on tighter, Cooper would disappear again."If you hold your son so tightly, the son will be uncomfortable."Hearing Josiah's words, Meredith quickly released her hand and looked at him with concern. "I'm sorry baby, has Mommy hurt you?"Cooper shook his head and said no.Meredith wanted to ask something else but was interrupted by Josiah. "Okay, I'll tell you the rest when you get better."He was worried about Meredith's body.Meredith was anxious and she said, "Josiah, why are you so annoying? I finally found my son. Can't I just hug him and look at him?""Of course." Josiah was not unhappy because of her temper, and he still had a smile on his handsome face."Even if you don't care about your injuries, you should also consider that the children are still hungry.""What do you mean? Cooper and Nia haven't eaten yet?"
"Edith, careful, it's hot.""It's not hot. It's not hot at all."Josiah sighed helplessly, "Take your time to eat then. I'll tell you the story."Upon saying that, he started to tell her the full story that he had understood over the past couple of days. While listening to him, Meredith got frightened. One moment tears were streaming down her face for a moment, and the next an incomparably relieved smile appeared on her face.Josiah was worried that if her emotions switched too drastically, her wounds might get affected, so he did his best to tell her in a short and simple way.He took the empty bowl that was in her hands away from her and asked, "I've already told you the truth. You should lay down and rest now, shouldn't you?"Meredith wiped off her tears and said with a catch in her throat, "I'm fine.""Edith, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that you and the children have suffered so much.""What's the use of you saying all these?" Meredith punched his body with annoyance. "J
"I can understand." Josiah held her little hands. "Edith, when Nia almost died back then, I was also very saddened and miserable.""But you were only feeling sad, after all."Josiah was speechless. "...""Joe, let's first put the grudges between her and me aside and help her find her daughter back." Meredith clenched his big palm tight in return. "Ivy is really too pitiful. You have to help fulfill her wish of meeting with her daughter.""Alright."Seeing that he only nodded but did not take action, Meredith urged, "Hurry up and go.""Don't be anxious. I've already asked Mother to return Ivy's child to her and she has also agreed," said Josiah.Besides, even if he were to go search for the girl, he also would not be able to find her within a short span.He had already sent some people to search all the hospitals in the entire country in the past, but he did not find a girl with septicemia who was related to Ivy.When he thought about it again, if Mrs. Shelby did not want to le
"Then why did she suddenly faint?""She's probably happy." Mrs. Shelby finally turned her wheelchair around and looked at him. "Ivy's daughter is one year older than Cooper. It's just a pity she has had poor health since childhood.""Have you never given her a proper treatment?""She's just a b*stard. Her existence is just a burden. I'm doing this for Ivy's own good as well.""I hope that you really have returned the child to her," said Josiah, and then he turned around and left her ward.Josiah took out her phone to dial Liam's number."What's the matter?" Liam's tone sounded slightly tired over the phone."Ivy—"Josiah was originally going to tell him that Ivy had fainted and asked if he wanted to come and see her. What he did not expect was that he was cut off as soon as he mentioned Ivy's name."From now on, you can just handle the matter between you and her. Don't call me anymore."Josiah heard the rich hostility in his tone, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's
"Ivy's missing? What do you mean?""She has found her child and has just stumbled out of the hospital just now.""Shouldn't this be a good thing for her?""I suspect that her child is no longer around anymore."Earlier, when Mrs. Shelby said that Ivy had fainted because she was happy, he already started to have suspicions. He then became even more suspicious after he saw the surveillance footage.If she was happy, she would not look like she was having a meltdown in the surveillance footage.Liam was silent for a few seconds before he said, "I got it."After that, he hung up the call.…It was as if Ivy had disappeared into thin air. They had searched the entire city but they just could not find any trace of her.After searching for one whole night, Liam finally came to Josiah.As soon as Liam met him, he punched Josiah across the face so aggressively that Josiah almost fell to the floor.Josiah knitted his eyebrows and glared at him. "Liam, you're crazy!""Where exactly d
"I don't know. I've already sent people to search all the places that I could think of. It's such a shame that I still can't find her.""Why don't you send more people," Meredith said."Alright." Josiah nodded in agreement.After that, he took out his phone and called Mister Wesley to arrange it.…In the evening, the people who were sent out finally sent back the news that Ivy was already found.At that moment, Josiah was sitting right in front of Mrs. Shelby, and there was a feast on the table in front of them.Mrs. Shelby used the excuse that she wanted to dine with her son to call him over.She heard Josiah's phone ring and she could tell that the news was related to Ivy.She silently took a bite of her dinner and asked while looking at Josiah, "Are you going to leave again?"Josiah put his phone back into his pocket and then told her while staring at her. "Mother, Ivy has been found in a cemetery in the suburbs. She has cut her own wrist. She is now on the verge of dying
"I won't disturb her.""Then what's the difference between you waiting at the door to the emergency room and waiting here?" Josiah glanced at her injured head. "Besides, your injury is not healed yet.""I…" Meredith sighed, "I just feel that Ivy is quite pitiful. She doesn't even have a person there to keep her accompanied.""Don't worry. Liam is there to keep her accompanied.""Liam?" Meredith was slightly surprised. "Isn't Liam going to get married to another person soon? Is this appropriate?""He's not going to care if it's appropriate now."Hearing Josiah saying that, Meredith finally gave up going toward the emergency room.It was after Ivy was transferred from the emergency room to the intensive care unit by the doctor that Meredith and Josiah went to visit her together.Through the window, they could vaguely see Ivy lying on a small bed and her body was covered in all sorts of devices.Because they were too far away, they could not see her face. However, they could tell
When she saw Josiah, Suzy immediately started wailing, "Sir, Mrs. Shelby is already on the verge of dying. Hurry up and go take a look at her."Josiah's heart sank and he asked instinctively, "What's the matter? Wasn't she still alright just now?""Mrs. Shelby…" Suzy took a pause, and then she shook her head and said, "Sir, hurry up and go over."Josiah turned around and walked back into the elevator.Meredith hurried behind her and said, "I'll go with you."However, Josiah refused and said, "Edith, I'm worried that she would create some trouble. It's better for you to first return to your ward and stay there.""It's fine. I'll be careful."Ivy has already collapsed and Mrs. Shelby's days are already numbered, so Meredith did not believe that Mrs. Shelby could create any trouble.When Suzy heard Josiah saying that, she could not help but say angrily, "Sir, Mrs. Shelby is usually a little harsh to others and she is more extreme in the way she handles things, but she is sincere a
Back in the bedroom on the second floor, Liam pulled Ivy into the bathroom to take a bath together.Ivy allowed him to take off her clothes and pulled her to stand under the water.Liam helped her take a bath and asked, "How is it? Is everything okay?""It's not bad." Ivy said, "I didn't expect your parents to welcome me so warmly."Liam looked at her proudly, with the water still flowing down from his head. "Of course! You should thank the guy that has good taste. How can they dislike a girl of my choosing?"Ivy smiled and said, "Okay, previously...""Don't mention the previous things, let them pass." Liam interrupted her.Ivy was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, it's all over.""Yes. From now on, there is only happiness." Liam lowered his head and whispered in her ear, and kissed her lips……Meredith and Josiah listened in shock to Liam and Ivy's story, while watching the three children chasing and making trouble outside the floor-to-ceiling window.They were all
Ivy raised her hand and touched the top of Siena's hair. "God treated me well, and gave me back my daughter, and also gave me the child's father.""No, you're wrong." Liam smiled and said, "God treated me well and sent the child and the child's mother back to my arms.""Oh, spare me." Madam Sheldon shook her head unbearably.Madam Sheldon finally believed that Siena was her own granddaughter.She excitedly hugged Siena into her arms, and she burst into tears with joy. "Great, our Sheldon family finally has a granddaughter! Great!""Grandma, you like Siena, right?" Siena asked sweetly."Nonsense! Of course, Grandma likes Siena. Grandma has always dreamed about a little grandson or a little granddaughter." Madam Sheldon choked as she said.Liam and Ivy looked at each other and smiled.After hugging Siena excitedly for a while, Madam Sheldon released her, and looked at her again. "Now that you mentioned it, she looks a lot like Liam. Look at her nose, her ears...right? Am I righ
"You even helped me get dressed before you left!" Liam pinched her chin. "Ivy, aren't you embarrassed saying these things?""You asked me.""...""If I didn't help you get dressed, you might be so stupid that you don't even know that you slept with someone, right?""Ivy!" Liam gritted his teeth. "You stole my seed, and you dare to laugh at me for being stupid?""Isn't it stupid?" Ivy was not afraid of him. She raised an eyebrow at him deliberately. "Liam, think about it. Were you being stupid that night?"Liam was silent.Yes, he was really stupid.He was so stupid that he was too embarrassed to admit it. He did not even have the face to mention it in front of Josiah.Looking at the woman in front of him, he wanted to laugh and be mad at the same time.He did not want to say anything. He just wanted to use actions to prove how angry he was, how excited, happy, and...Countless emotions were intertwined in his body, causing him to bow his head and kiss her lips fiercely.Ivy
"Okay, I'm sorry." Ivy got up and walked around in front of him, sitting on his lap and hugging his neck with a smile. "Do I need to make up for you as well? Say sorry to you?""Yes, of course.""I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long. I shouldn't have kept the news about Siena's from you until now, okay?""Do you think I'll let you off with just that?" Liam was not satisfied."Then what do you want?""The rest will be paid in the evening.""Okay, double compensation," Ivy responded generously.Hearing her say that, Liam was extremely satisfied.He did not mind his daughter's presence at all. He instructed her, "Siena, turn around, I'm going to kiss Mommy.""Why can't I see you kiss Mommy?" Siena was puzzled."Because your Mommy will be shy.""Oh, okay then." Siena turned around wisely."I'm not shy, it's you who is shy." Ivy held Liam's handsome face and kissed him on the lips.Liam was moved for a second, and when he tried to dee
The adoptive parents expressed their understanding. They waved their hands and said, "It's alright. If it were me, I'd be crying happy tears too.""Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, you don't have to be so polite. Otherwise, we will be even more embarrassed," the adoptive father said.The adoptive mother held Siena, who seemed a little lost. She pulled Siena in front of Ivy and said softly, "Siena, I'm sorry, Mommy never told you that Ivy is your biological mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Really? Is Mommy Ivy my biological mother? Did she give birth to me?""Yes. Mommy wouldn't just pass you to a random stranger, right?" The adoptive mother smiled and said, "Siena, you will be able to spend time with your biological mommy in the future. Isn't that great?"Siena nodded, then stretched out her palm and gently stroked Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my biological mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly pulled Siena into her embrace."
Siena's adoptive parents expressed that they understood. They waved their hands and said, "It's fine. If it were me, we would cry happy tears too." "Anyway, thank you very much," Liam said."Mister Liam, don't say such a thing. If not, we will be even more embarrassed," Siena's adoptive father said.Siena's adoptive mother pulled Siena, who did not know much about what was happening, over to Ivy's side and gently said, "Siena, I'm sorry. I have never told you that Ivy is your real Mommy."Siena looked at her in shock. "Are you serious? Mommy Ivy is my real Mommy? The one that gave birth to me?""Yes, if not, how could I simply give you to any other person?" Siena's adoptive mother said with a smile, "In the future, you will be living with your real Mommy. Are you happy?"Siena nodded before reaching her hand out and touching Ivy's face. "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't you want to be my real Mommy?""Siena!" Ivy suddenly hugged her."Darling, I have been looking for you for s
Siena's adoptive parents looked at each other and smiled.The kitchen was calling them to take their seats.Liam got up and said, "Come, let's eat and talk."Then, he said to Siena, "Siena, go get Daddy and Mommy to eat. They must be hungry."Siena happily brought her adoptive parents to take their seats. The dinner was in the garden. They ate and talked at the same time. The entire process was pleasant.Toward the end, Siena's adoptive mover suddenly got up and walked over to Ivy. She looked at her deeply and said after a while, "Ivy, there is a secret I have been hiding from you for a very long time.""What is it?" Ivy saw how serious she was. She could not help but feel the severity of it."Siena…" Siena's adoptive mother paused for a while before saying, "Siena is the baby that you have been looking for all these years."Ivy was stunned. Liam was stunned too.Ivy was feeling uneasy. Blood was rushing to her head. Shock, delight, surprise, excitement, all of the emotions ga
Ivy heard what Liam said and looked out at the door.When she saw that it was Siena's adoptive parents, she was instantly stunned."They are the guests that you mentioned?""Yes." Liam stood next to her and smiled. He said, "They said they hoped that they could see Siena one more time.""Is that so? That's great." Ivy held Siena's hand and walked out.Outside the door, Siena's adoptive parents were extremely friendly. "Hello! Ivy! Haven't seen you in a while!""Hello." Ivy welcomed them. "Welcome."They looked at Siena behind Ivy. "Hello, Siena. It's been a while."Siena was so anxious she was almost in tears. She said with reddened eyes, "I don't want to go back! I don't want to!"Seeing how Siena was against them, they looked awkward. From there, one could infer how irresponsible they were of their adopted daughter previously.Ivy ruffled Siena's head and said softly in her ears, "Siena, don't be afraid. Your adoptive parents are here to send you off because you're about to
Ivy cleared her throat. She ruffled Siena's head. "Don't listen to your Daddy. How could I be tired? Furthermore, taking care of you is the happiest and proudest thing I have ever done.""Really? Mommy, you really like me that much?""I do."Siena laughed happily."Let's go. We'll head home." Ivy held Siena's hand and they walked under the sycamore tree."Mommy, has Daddy gone back?""Not yet," Ivy said, "Daddy said he wants to give us a surprise.""Oh, that's great. I don't want Daddy to leave us.""Why? Do you like Daddy?""I do." Siena nodded. "Also, with Daddy here, you will be much happier. I like to see you being happy."Ivy saw Siena's face under the sun. She could not help but be moved. Siena was too understanding and caring.She suddenly thought of her own daughter. If she was still around, she would be Siena's age. She wondered whether she was as caring as Siena.At that thought, the smile on her face faded a little."Mommy, look! There are two birds!" Siena sudd
