Zya immediately said to Nia, "Nia, don’t worry. I'll replant the flower."Nia was in Meredith's arms, being carried into the building. She rested her face on Meredith's shoulders, yet she smiled brightly at Josiah. "Bye-bye, Daddy."Her smile was so bright it burned. Josiah quickly retracted his gaze. He swept a glance at the broken pot on the ground before taking a huge step, leaving the hospital.Ysabelle wanted to follow along and leave the hospital together with him, but facing his cold, frigid back, she did not dare to do so. She could only grit her teeth and give up.After sending Nia back to her ward, before Meredith could say anything, Nia said, "Mommy, is what the evil aunt said true? Am I going to die just like the rose?""Of course, not." Meredith hugged Nia. She gently patted Nia on her head. "You know that she's a bad person. Why would you believe her words? You'll get better soon. Trust me.""Mommy, I don't want to die. I still want to live with you and daddy togeth
An hour later, when she saw the results of her test indicating early pregnancy, she finally believed that she was truly pregnant!She was pregnant!With the results in her hand, Meredith stood there laughing through tears like a fool. The people passing by looked at her. They thought that she was frightened by bad test results.A kind older lady even patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry. It'll be fine. Everything will be fine."Meredith looked at her and nodded with tears. "It'll be fine!"With this child, Nia has hope of surviving once more. She finally has hope again.Meredith eagerly rushed to Nia. She hugged Nia and muttered, "Nia, you finally have hope! I'm extremely happy."Although Nia did not know what was happening, she was happy seeing Meredith happy. She smiled along. After seeing Nia, Meredith went to look for Doctor Sean to tell him the good news.Doctor Sean could not help but say, "Miss Meredith, have you ever thought that what if even bef
Gritting her teeth, Ysabelle seethed furiously, "Meredith Leighton, do you think that you'd be able to marry into the Shelby family after snatching away what's supposedly mine? Even if you do get married to Josiah, I will definitely take you down."Margot glanced at her daughter and said, "Look at you getting all worked up every time something happens. Can't you just calm down and think of a solution instead?""How do you expect me to calm down when things turn out this way?" Ysabelle took a seat next to her mother, put her arms in hers, and said, "Mom, you're much calmer than I am. Give me a solution, I will do whatever you say.""Doctor Sean already mentioned that Meredith only got pregnant because she wants to save her daughter. It's not for the sake of marrying into the Shelby family.""And that is exactly what I'm worried about. What if she manages to save her daughter and ends up having two of Josiah's children?""I mean, how hard is it? All we have to do is stop her from gi
At the sight of Josiah who was standing tall with his back straight and with a cold gaze, Meredith felt chills running down her spine.She knew that there was no use in pleading with Josiah but she had no other choice. "Josiah Shelby, things are already over between us. Can't you just let me go?""Meredith Leighton, it is true that things are over between you and me but Yena is in this state because of you.""I've told you over and over again that I didn't push Yena down the stairs," Meredith argued frustratedly, "I've let you take my blood again and again, but today…"Pressing her lips together, she did not continue her words."What's with today?" Josiah replied coldly, "I also told you over and over again that you can forget about living your life as long as Yena is still unconscious."He then said to the nurse beside them, "Take her blood.""No! I really can't give my blood to Yena today!" Meredith resisted desperately and came up with an excuse, "Josiah Shelby, I am not feel
Meredith did mention that she was feeling unwell and claimed that her blood might be contaminated. To prevent anything from happening to Yena, the medical staff had to run several tests on Meredith's blood.The nurse nodded. "Sir, Miss Meredith's blood is not contaminated and we've transferred her blood to Miss Yena. But, we did find out that Miss Meredith is pregnant."Josiah was slightly startled. Staring at the nurse, he asked, "What did you say?"Ysabelle too was taken aback. A wave of regret crashed through her.She only wanted Josiah to take Meredith's blood but she did not expect that Meredith would lie that her blood was contaminated just to stop Josiah from taking her blood. Neither did she expect the doctor would find out that Meredith was pregnant through her blood.Ysabelle planned to get rid of Meredith's baby before Josiah got to know that she was pregnant, but…After the nurse repeated her words, Ysabelle pretended to be surprised. "Could you be mistaken? Miss Mere
"There's nothing to thank me for. As long as Yena is alright." Meredith was hoping for him to leave as soon as possible as she did not want Josiah to find out about her pregnancy.She was worried that he would try to get rid of her baby just like how he did in her dream.Josiah though added coldly, "I also thought of visiting you and that baby of yours that you're carrying."Meredith was aghast.So Josiah already found out about it.It was sort of obvious as Meredith was in the ward of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department. But Meredith was still puzzled as to how Josiah got to know."Spill it, who's the father?" Josiah asked coldy. Meredith took a deep breath and said regretfully, "Too bad it is not yours. If not I would have tried to convince your grandmother to take me back into the Shelby family."Josiah narrowed his eyes.He thought that he would be relieved to know that he was not the father of the child but for some reason, a wave of fury and disappointment crashe
"Yes, he is not the father to my child. You can pass those to me," Meredith responded.The nurse wanted to say something else but at the sight of Josiah's darkened expression, she swallowed back her words."Sorry…so sorry. I didn't know," The nurse cleared her throat and walked past Josiah."That's alright." Meredith was especially polite to the nurse. "Thank you so much for these. Sorry to trouble you with all the procedures as the father of my child is not here yet."The nurse replied, "I don't mind since I have some time on my hands. But I'm worried that I won't be able to help when things get busy. It's best if the father of your child is around.""Ah, of course. I will try to contact him…"Josiah no longer heard the words that Meredith was saying.Perhaps he was getting further from the ward or perhaps he was too furious to even hear anything clearly.Even Yoseph who was waiting for him at one end of the corridor felt chills run down his spine at the sight of Josiah's clou
Leon had no one else to blame aside from himself the moment he actually believed Josiah when he said that he was willing to share his ex-wife with other men.As soon as Josiah got into his car, his phone rang.It was from his house back in Delmas City. Josiah did not pick up the phone but switched his phone to silent mode instead.After a while, Yoseph's phone started ringing. After checking the caller ID, he then asked, "Sir, it's ma'am who is calling. Should I pick it up?""No.""But…you know how ma'am is, right. She will keep calling if you don't pick up her call.""Just tell her that I'm in a meeting.""Yes, Sir," Yoseph then answered the call.However, before Yoseph could even say anything, Josiah's grandmother warned him, "I don't care if he's in a meeting or if he is meeting an important client or if he's sleeping. Tell him to pick up his phone right now if not I'll head down to Jehovah City right now!"With an awkward expression on his face, Yoseph turned to look at Jo
