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.
Ysabelle gritted her teeth. She held back for the time being.Josiah sneered. He suddenly flipped over and pinned Liam to the ground, using the same posture as Liam before."If not, who do you think I should revolve my life around? Meredith, that b*tch?""No matter what, Meredith was once your wife?""Is that so? But Yena rescued me when I was young. She turned into a vegetable because Meredith cruelly harmed her. She might have nothing to do with me, but she should be the person I should protect the most, also the person I owe the most to.""Then, you should just protect and pay back the person whom you owe the most to. Why are you hurting Meredith? You were once husband and wife! Can't you even just let her go?"Furthermore!" Liam waved and pointed at Ysabelle. "Why are you keeping such a woman in your house? Are you worried that Meredith won't be tortured to death by you, so you found another person to torture her together?"Ysabelle was about to ask Liam to shut up when Josi
"I'll find a way to help you rescue your mother out." Liam's face darkened. "Meredith, if you stay here any longer, I'll go up and beat Josiah up again. I'll punch him until he comes to get you back in."When Meredith heard what Liam said, she immediately headed back in with his help.The two of them just entered when they saw Josiah, who was supposed to be upstairs, sitting on the sofa. His face was covered in bruises too. Ysabelle was about to help him put on some medication.When they saw Liam, Ysabelle deliberately opened her arms wide in front of Josiah and looked at Liam in fear. "What do you want to do!? I won't let you harm Josiah again."Liam coldly looked at her and looked past her at Josiah's face. "As long as he doesn't stop me, I won't hurt him."Josiah's gaze, on the other hand, had always been on Meredith's face.Meredith was pale from being under the rain. The wounds on her forehead have changed their shape from the rain. Her hair was constantly dripping water.J
"If she's dead, drag her out!" Josiah angrily interrupted Lily.The last time Meredith passed out, he was anxious to death, yet it turned out that he was tricked by her, producing a disgusting paternity report.This time, he will not fall for her tricks anymore. He will never believe her again.…Meredith had a fever again. This time, there were no doctors to treat her. She could only rely on Lily's medicine.Ysabelle stood by the door of the storage room. Looking at the half-dead Meredith, she was elated.When she saw Leah coming downstairs, Ysabelle immediately went forward. "Miss Leah, is Yena doing well today?""The doctor says that she is doing well. She is showing signs of coming around.""Really? That's amazing!" Ysabelle said delightedly, "Miss Leah, congratulations. Yena is about to come around.""Yes, I have been waiting for this day to come," Leah said with a smile. Then, she pulled Ysabelle's hand and said, "by the way, Ysabelle, I'm going to the hospital to get so
Due to Leah being too nervous, her phone fell to the ground with a thud.Ysabelle, in the bedroom, jumped in fright. She paused what she was doing. She did not look back, nor did she dare to look back. She thought quickly as to who could be there?Lily had gone out to do groceries, and Leah was out to get medicine. Alfred would not be upstairs, so…it was Meredith?If it was Meredith, Ysabelle was not worried one bit, after all, Meredith knew all the bad things she has done, but so what? No one believed Meredith.When she turned around and saw that it was Leah, Ysabelle instantly panicked."M-Miss Leah?" Ysabelle got up from the chair. She forced herself to be calm and asked, "Didn't you say that you were heading to the hospital to get medicine? Why are you back so quickly?"Since when was Leah standing by the door? Did she hear what she said? Did she see the needle in her hand?A series of questions made Ysabelle panic even more."If I did not lie to you that Yena was showing s
Miss Leah wanted to escape but her path was blocked and she could only turn around and rushed upstairs.As soon as her call was answered and before Josiah could say anything, Miss Leah shouted into the phone frantically, "Someone's trying to kill me! Sir, help me! Help me-!"Ysabelle pounced on Miss Leah who was on the stairs, and the phone in her hand was broken into pieces.Struggling, Miss Leah shouted, "Ysabelle killed someone…help…"But her phone was already broken and Josiah, who was on the other end of the phone, could no longer hear her.Glancing at the broken phone, Ysabelle scoffed, "You can save yourself the trouble of shouting for help, your phone is already broken.""You…what are you trying to do?" Seeing how Ysabelle was getting closer to her, Miss Leah scrambled to her feet frightfully and ran upstairs.A sinister look flashed across Ysabelle's face. She had intentionally forced Miss Leah to run upstairs.The mansion had four floors and soon enough, Miss Leah had
Miss Leah's screams pierced through the sky and with a loud thud, from the terrace, she crashed onto the ground in the front yard.Ysabelle's face contorted sinisterly. Looking down at Miss Leah who was laying on the ground lifelessly, she murmured, "Miss Leah, you brought this onto yourself. Don't hate me too much."She then rushed down the stairs, picked up the broken phone with a napkin, and threw it next to Miss Leah's body.Meredith, who was feeling drowsy because of the high fever was jolted awake by Miss Leah's terrified screams and the loud thud.The scream was harrowing and chilling.Frowning, Meredith tried to get off the bed, and head outside.At the sight of Miss Leah who was lying lifelessly in the pool of blood, Meredith was aghast and horrified, and her drowsiness had vanished into thin air.Miss Leah? Why was she laying in the pool of blood?At the sound of a car driving close, Ysabelle who was hiding behind the door rushed toward them, pulled Miss Leah who was
The medical team hurriedly did a check-up on Miss Leah and in the end, they announced that Miss Leah had passed away.Ysabelle was, of course, relieved.After Miss Leah's body was sent away, Josiah finally turned to look at Meredith and hissed coldly, "Meredith Leighton, you killed Miss Yena."It was not a question. It was a statement.Meredith shook her head. "It is not me! No!"It was a murder. There was no way that she would admit to killing someone.Ysabelle glared at her furiously. "Meredith Leighton, you made such a scene earlier when you got into a fight with Miss Leah earlier. If it wasn't you who pushed her, don't tell me that she jumped off the roof all on her own?""Miss Leah still had to take care of Yena. It's impossible that she'd take her own life, don't you think?" Even though she managed to temporarily get away with murder, she was worried that the evidence would trace back to her if Josiah insisted on a thorough investigation.Ysabelle thought that even though
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
