"No matter what, we'll talk about it when she comes around," Josiah said.Leah nodded. "Hmm, get Yena to wake up first, then we'll talk."After a moment of silence, Leah said once again, "I remembered when Yena saved you from the water, she passed out due to a high fever for a few days. Back then, everyone thought that she wouldn't wake up, but she came around after three days. I'm sure this time would be like this too. God would definitely look after her.""I'm sure.""By the way, Sir, I have thought about it, why don't I stay here and help out at home? I want to stay by Yena's side and take care of her."Leah was still talking when Josiah's mind was distracted. He saw Meredith approaching the main gate. His anger rose as she got closer to the gate."Sir," Leah called out with emphasis once again.Then only Josiah came to his senses. "What is it?""I said, I want to stay and take care of Yena. What do you think about it?""No need," Josiah said, "Miss Leah, you should retire
Leah could not help but mock, "Miss Meredith, weren't you just boasting to me this morning? Why have you ended up doing Yena's laundry?"Meredith paused her actions for a while. She said without lifting her head. "Yes, not only do I have to do Yena's laundry, but I also have to clean her up, change her clothes, and do other things too.""So, Mister Josiah got you back to seek revenge on you for your affair back then.""Yes, so please don't think otherwise, Miss Leah."Meredith wrung the clothes in the basin. She got up and looked at Leah. "But, I'm quite curious. Miss Leah, do you really believe that I was the one that pushed Yena down the stairs? Or are you only using this chance to get rid of me?""What do you mean by that? You didn't push Yena down the stairs? I saw the video.""Of course, it was not me," Meredith said and nodded. "But, it's fine. Even that idiot, Josiah, would not believe me, how would you believe me? Just treat me as the culprit then."Naturally, Leah did n
"Meredith always had tricks up her sleeves, right? Back then, she was the one that insisted on getting married to Josiah. Miss Leah, you have to be careful.""I will. Thank you for warning me, Ysabelle."Ysabelle said, "Miss Leah, Yena, and I were almost like sisters growing up together. You don't have to thank me.""Yes, for the past few years, only you treat my Yena the best," Leah said gratefully.Ysabelle smiled and headed upstairs to see Yena delightedly. At night, when Josiah returned, he found out that Ysabelle was there too. Ysabelle saw how he did not have a hint of surprise or welcome on his face, so she took the initiative to say, "Josiah, I was discharged today, so I just stopped by to see Yena.""Hmm," Josiah calmly responded.Ysabelle took his trench coat from his hands and smiled lightly. She said, "Josiah, isn't it the weekend today? Why are you not resting at home?""I had something going on.""It has been raining today, it's a little cold outside. Drink some
Ysabelle stood up from the chair and held onto Leah, who was so furious she was trembling. "Miss Leah, what happened? What happened to Yena?""It's her! She was the one that did something to Yena!" Leah pointed her trembling finger at Meredith. "Meredith, how could you be so cruel? It's not enough that you pushed Yena down the stairs and turn her into a vegetable. Why do you even want to harm her while she is unconscious? How could you be so vicious!"Meredith did not understand what Leah was talking about. However, she was sure there was a reason behind it. Ysabelle must have done something again. Also, Meredith was about to be punished for it again.She looked at Josiah and sure enough, Josiah's face was ice-cold. He was glaring at her furiously.Meredith collected her emotions and calmly asked, "Miss Leah, I have never harmed Yena. I wouldn't harm Yena because I hope she comes around quicker than anyone else.""Meredith! Don't you have a guilty conscience when you are saying th
Leah once again pounced at Meredith. She yelled angrily, "Meredith! What on earth did you do to Yena! What harm are you doing to her by pricking her head!""I already said that I didn't do it. Can't you look into it properly before hitting and yelling at me?" Meredith was instantly in a brawl with Leah.Leah was old, naturally, she was not as strong as Meredith. She was shoved to the ground by Meredith.Leah lay on the floor and yelled while sobbing, "How despicable! What on Earth did Yena do for you to do that to her? My poor Yena!"Then, Leah crawled over to Josiah's feet. She tugged and swayed his pants sleeve and begged, "Sir, my Yena should not have saved you back then. She should not have accepted your love. If not, she wouldn't have been harmed over and over again!"Ysabelle went over and helped Leah up while saying to Josiah, "Josiah, quickly get the doctors to check if the needles had caused Yena any permanent damage. Meredith has learned how to hurt people with needles b
"Thank you, Lily." Meredith was a little touched. "But just like you said, Josiah would never change his mind, so how could I let you kneel on my behalf?"To not cause Lily any trouble, Meredith immediately walked to the courtyard and knelt there.Although the rain was not heavy that day, the drizzle was still uncomfortably hitting her body.Meredith could not help but shudder. Her mind was filled with Nia and her mother. If she was to pass out again this time, what would happen to them? After the doctor's thorough check-up, he stated that the needle injuries did not harm Yena.Ysabelle secretly let out a sigh of relief. She tugged on Leah and comforted her, "Miss Leah, you can relax. The doctors said that those are just normal wounds. Perhaps Meredith just simply pricked Yena to take her anger out on her."Leah was still crying. She swore, "Even if she is angry, she can’t treat Yena this way! Yena is already pitiful enough. Other than these needles, I don't even know what else
"Why are you not dead yet!? Why are you not dead yet!?" Leah pulled Meredith's hair and wanted to continue knocking her head when Meredith counterattacked. She pulled Leah's hair and dragged her to the ground.Leah was furious. She spat angrily, "How dare you fight back! I will kill you!""Miss Leah, enough!" Meredith pinned Leah to the ground with all her might. Her quivering lips said into Leah's ears, "Look at the smug face behind the window downstairs. Look at it properly!"Although Leah was so furious that she wanted to kill Meredith, she still subconsciously looked at the window.It was Ysabelle. When Ysabelle met with Leah's eyes, she immediately retracted her expressions and instinctively retreated behind the curtains.Meredith sneered with reddened eyes. "Miss Leah, have you got a good look yet? The real perpetrator was never me! It was Ysabelle! The person who wants to get rid of Yena is also not me! It's Ysabelle! Josiah doesn't believe me because he hates me. He thinks
When Liam heard that Meredith was punished, forced to kneel under the rain for a few hours and was even beaten up by Leah yet Josiah still did not want to let her in, Liam could no longer just sit and watch.He immediately drove over to Josiah's mansion. When Lily saw him, she stopped him by the door and said worriedly, "Mister Liam, Sir might get even angrier if you interfere, so…please be careful."Lily would not have looked for Liam if she did not see how Meredith was injured and kneeling outside for so long. She was worried that Meredith would get sick like the last time too."Don't worry, I'll be careful of my ways," Liam said before heading to the backyard. He saw that Meredith was still kneeling in the rain. Her forehead was clearly injured too.Liam headed upstairs and kicked Josiah's study open. In the study, Ysabelle had only placed Josiah's supper down a minute ago and she was coaxing Josiah to have some food.When they heard the door kick open, the two of them jumped.
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
