"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
"My mother committed suicide by poisoning herself, didn't she?" Josiah said so himself.The doctor was stunned and asked in surprise, "Mister Josiah, how did you know?""I guessed it."Those words that Mrs. Shelby said during dinner were quite unusual, to begin with.At that time, he was thinking that Mrs. Shelby certainly was playing some tricks and was pretending to be pitiful, so he did not pay much attention to her. He did not expect that…The doctor wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, Mister Josiah. It's us who didn't take good care of her. I truly deserved to die…""It's not your fault.""Mister Josiah…" The doctor was so moved that he was almost going to cry.He originally thought with Mrs. Shelby's death, he was most probably going to be implicated as well. He never expected that Mister Josiah actually did not have the intention to punish him at all.That was very unlike the way Mister Josiah worked!"She was hell-bent on dying. It would be poin
"Also, I feel she should have also realized her own mistake as well, that's why she chose to end her own life in advance."Upon saying that, Meredith looked at him to see his reaction.The man's handsome side profile appeared to be extraordinarily calm, but when she took a closer look at him, she could still see a little bit of sorrow in his eyes.Meredith said honestly again, "Joe, if you don't feel good, I'll accompany you to take a look at her, alright?"Josiah shook her head. "No. I'm fine.""Then hurry up and go take a rest," said Meredith.Josiah surveyed her and touched her little face while feeling heartbroken. "You're still injured, but you have to be concerned about me in return. This shouldn't be happening.""If you feel this shouldn't be happening, then hurry up and go and rest.""Mm-hm. You should first return to your ward. I'll go take a look at Liam," said Josiah."Then I'll go with you." Meredith grabbed his palm. "Joe, I'm fine."Josiah saw that she was persi
Ivy looked at her. "I don't remember. May I know you are…""I'm Meredith. Cooper's mother.""Cooper…" Ivy called out the name softly and then shook her head. "I don't know him."She did not even know Cooper, whom she had raised.That was enough to show how great of a blow it was to her for losing her child.Ivy looked at her and said, "I think I want to be alone. Can all of you leave?"Meredith was speechless. She raised her gaze and looked at Liam, who had been looking straight at Ivy from the beginning but did not say a single word.Liam turned around and was the first to leave Ivy's ward.It was after she left the ward that Meredith said, "Mister Liam, Ivy should have lost her memory.""Mm-hmm. It's quite good that she has lost her memory.""..." Meredith was speechless and she did not understand. "Why?""It's not beneficial to her to remember too many sad things in the past. She should also have a new life that belongs to her."Mrs. Shelby has already died. Cooper has
Thus, Mister Yoseph did not ask further. He nodded his head and replied, "Okay, I believe Mister Josiah will understand it.""Yeap, thanks," Meredith said."Are you heading back home now?" Mister Yoseph asked."Yes, I'll like to go home now." Meredith closed her eyes and shut everything out of her brain.The first thing she did when she returned home was to take a shower. After that, she handled some urgent work matters. It was then she heard the sound of a car. She opened up a corner of the curtain and looked. It was Josiah and the kids."You're back." Meredith approached and greeted them. She took over both of her children and looked at them. "How's it? Are you guys tired?"Cooper answered the question by shaking his head. However, Meredith could see from his eyes that he must have cried sadly before."Mommy, we're not tired." Nia looked fine though.Ever since Cooper was a baby, he grew up alongside Mrs. Shelby. In spite of Mrs. Shelby had been harsh to Ivy and torturing her
Meredith put on the apron and started cooking skillfully.No doubt, Meredith was still in love with Josiah and she would continuously be nice to him. Nonetheless, the love she had for him was unrelated to a romantic relationship anymore. She looked at him as a family more than a lover as time slowly passed. However, Josiah actually did not like it.Soon, it was nighttime. Josiah did not return to the room even when the time was late. Meredith felt weird so she went to the study room where she found out Josiah was leaning on the bed head reading a magazine. It was his bedtime habit.'So he is going to sleep in the study room tonight? He had been using different excuses to sleep with me lately but why is he sleeping here tonight? Is he in a bad mood because of his mother? He needs some time alone?' Meredith wondered."Josiah, are you alright?" Meredith asked caringly."I'm fine." Josiah raised his head and looked at Meredith while flipping a page."Are you sleeping here tonight?" M
Meredith walked up to Cooper excitedly and gave him a hug. "Good morning, my darling. I'm so happy to hear you greeting me good morning."Cooper was shy to be hugged tightly by Meredith. He raised his hand and patted Meredith's shoulder to comfort her."Mommy, Cooper has been talking to me a lot lately," Nia said proudly.Meredith nodded. "I know. Cooper likes you the most and always tells you his secret. I'm grateful to see how patient you are with Cooper."After hugging Cooper, Meredith also pulled Nia into her arms and hugged her."He is my brother. I have all the patience in the world for him," Nia said."Yes, you're right." Meredith took the hand of both of her children to head downstairs. "Let's go for our breakfast. I will send both of you to school later."As usual, Josiah was left behind by himself. He was so mad that he could only feel anguish by himself while he watch Meredith leave with the children. From the look of it, there was no effect or change after he slept i
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
