"Grandma, I'm still alive. I've been alive all this while."It took a while before Josiah's grandmother came back to her senses. She murmured, "This is unbelievable. Everyone said that you were dead, but here you are, in front of me, well and alive. What exactly happened?""And you mentioned Nia, is she really Josiah's daughter?""Yes. I swear on my life.""And Josiah…""He doesn't believe me. He is convinced that I cheated on him with Yoel and he thinks that Nia belongs to Yoel. That was why he locked me up in a psychiatric ward that year. Later, because of the fire, I had an early birth and it was my mom who saved the child and that is why Nia is still alive."Tears would well up in her eyes every single time she talks about her past.But she had no time to cry. She had to clear her name and come up with a way to save Nia."But unfortunately, Nia was diagnosed with a terrible illness and she needs a bone marrow transplant surgery. And this is why I got close to Josiah to get
Within a few seconds, Yoseph's voice was heard from the other end of the phone. "Hello Ma'am, Sir is currently in a meeting. Would you…"Josiah's grandmother cut him off urgently, "I'll give him ten seconds to get on the phone."Yoseph was startled and quickly informed Josiah. Not long after, Josiah was on the phone. "What is it, Grandma?"Josiah's grandmother said bluntly, "Josiah Shelby, I want you to go to Crest Care right now and get yourself tested to see if you're a match to be Nia's bone marrow donor."Josiah was in the middle of a meeting with the board of directors and his grandmother's voice was loud and clear enough for the audience to hear.Josiah cleared his throat awkwardly, got up from his chair, and walked out the door. "Grandma, did Merelyn say something to you?""We'll talk about that later. I want you to go to Crest Care and get tested right now.""Grandma…""Shut up! Get yourself there right now!'Josiah's gaze darkened as he thought to himself that he shou
"I only want you to go to the hospital to take a blood match test with Nia to save her. I never thought of anything else.""Do you ever keep your words?" Josiah was furious. "You have never spoken the truth ever. No wonder you've ended up the way you have now," Josiah said and hung up.Meredith saw that he had hung up. She secretly consoled herself, saying that it would be fine as long as Nia would get better. It did not matter what Josiah thought of her. After all, he already had a terrible impression of her. It could not get any worse.Meredith inhaled gently. Just when she put her phone back in her pocket and was about to return to the washroom, she suddenly heard a scream coming from inside.Meredith was stunned for a while before she quickly rushed in.She saw Josiah's grandmother laying on the ground. Blood flowed from her head on the ground. Meredith was shocked. She bent down and yelled, "Grandma, are you alright?"Seeing how Josiah's grandmother had no response, Meredith
Tears fell from Meredith's eyes. She could not understand why she was always so unlucky. Right when she found just a sliver of hope, it ended up being taken away in the end.Just a moment ago she felt that she had finally made the right decision and Nia finally could be saved, the next moment, Josiah's grandmother fell to the ground and could most likely fall into a coma.Although she did not directly harm Josiah's grandmother, it still had something to do with her.If she were to let Josiah's grandmother sit down and rest so that she could tell her about Nia, in the end, if she were to enter the washroom, she would not have fallen.It was her carelessness that hurt Josiah's grandmother, it also took away whatever hope Nia had.At that moment, Meredith wished more than anyone else that Josiah's grandmother could come around and get better soon!Josiah loathingly spat, "Meredith, if anything were to happen to Grandma, the Shelbys will not let you go."Tears streamed down her face
Before leaving, Ysabelle clung to Josiah's arm and consoled him, "Josiah, Grandma will be fine. Calm down. I'll make a move first."Josiah ignored her. He merely rubbed his face in annoyance with his hands.Ysabelle and Meredith waited for the lift at the same time. This time, Ysabelle did not absurdly mock or defame her. Meredith found it odd.She snuck a glance at Ysabelle next to her. She saw Ysabelle looking right ahead. She had no intention of saying anything at all.Ysabelle was not a fool. Naturally, she would never bring up matters at that moment. What if she suddenly spoke too much causing Meredith to suspect her?In the end, it was Meredith who spoke first. "I heard that Josiah's grandmother doesn't like you. She has also never wanted you to marry into the Shelbys?""Who said so? She is just afraid that the Leightons passed down the b*tch gene. She was afraid that I would turn out like you, so she told Josiah to be careful." "So, she doesn't accept you." Meredith look
Looking at Josiah in such a haggard state, Meredith could only stop loathing him for a bit. She passed him a cup of warm water.Josiah glanced at her. He did not accept her cup of water. "F*ck off."Meredith did not leave. She also did not insist that he drank water. She merely sat down next to him.A while later, she looked at him and asked, "Are you afraid to lose your family?"Josiah replied to her without any emotions on his face. "Meredith, I am not in the mood to fight with you.""I'm not planning to fight with you.""I don’t have the mood to deal with your pretentiousness either," Josiah said, "if you have any self-awareness, you would know how much you disgust me and you would stay far away from me, because every time I think about how Grandma has not come around, I want to strangle you to death."Meredith could see how much he loathed her. She got up and changed to a further seat away from him and sat down."Also, if Grandma dies, there is no point in keeping the child
"Enough!" Josiah barked, "Both of you, f*ck off right now."Ysabelle glared at Meredith loathingly and looked away. Meredith looked at Josiah and said seriously, "Josiah. I know you never once believe me. You would never believe that Ysabelle was the one who hurt Leah and Yena. Let me warn you if you don't want anything strange to happen to your grandmother, please look after her at all times. Do not let Ysabelle get close to your grandmother or her medical team."Ysabelle was speechless. "Meredith, stop slandering me. Josiah is not an idiot. He won't believe you.""Whether Mister Josiah is an idiot or not depends on what he does," Meredith said, turned, and left.Ysabelle was anxious and furious. She turned to look at Josiah. "Josiah, don't listen to her nonsense. Don't be intimidated by what she said. Meredith is just trying to put the blame on me for hurting your grandmother.""Whatever she said, I don't think it's necessary for you to come here," Josiah said coldly, "For Grand
"Hmm, same old same old."Meredith glanced at Nia in bed. "Taking care of Nia, working to earn some money.""I was talking to Aunt Wren just now. She said that Nia's condition did not improve?""Yes, she's not getting better at all." Meredith sniffled bitterly. To not disturb Nia, she said to Zade, "Zade, why don't we go out to talk? The air here isn't too great.""Okay." Zade nodded. "I initially wanted to come here to see Nia, but she is still asleep. Next time then.""Hmm, she sleeps longer and longer these days."They left Nia's ward and headed for the lift. After what happened previously, Meredith was a little afraid to see Zade again. She did not know what to talk about with him anymore.Everything has become rather uneasy.It was until they left the lift that she only said apologetically, "Zade, back then…I'm sorry. It was my fault.""No. It was my own attitude. I chose to run away. I should be the one who apologizes.""No. Don't ever apologize to me." Meredith waved h
