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
Meredith was speechless.Zade looked at Josiah before looking at Meredith's abdomen. "Are you really pregnant? With Josiah's child?"Meredith nodded awkwardly."Merelyn." Zade no longer looked at Josiah. He merely looked at Meredith and said, "Didn't you already break it up with him a long time ago? Didn't you say you wanted to wait for me to return to get married? Why did you suddenly get pregnant with his child?""I…" Meredith was suddenly a little baffled.Why would Zade suddenly say such a thing? Ever since Zade left, they have never kept in touch. Did Zade do it on purpose so that he could gain back whatever dignity left? However, it was not as if he had never gone up against Josiah before. He knew that he was no match for Josiah.What should she do? Should she protect Zade's ego and deliberately play along with him, or…Meredith looked at Josiah. When her eyes met his ice-cold gaze, she immediately looked away. She said, "I…""Merelyn, after so long, are you still afrai
Zade feigned innocence and said, "Merelyn, you're the one who always asks me to come back and take you away. You're the one who said that you wanted to be with me. Why are you turning back on your words, blaming me instead right now?""I did not. Zade, don't spread such lies.""Merelyn…"Josiah smiled. "It looks like Miss Meredith doesn't dare to do so. Then, she could only by my obedient b*tch."Then, Josiah pulled Meredith into his arms and sneered at Zade, "You want to take her away? Wait until the day you manage to convince her, then we'll see about it."Then, Josiah carried Meredith toward the lift. His rough actions seemed like he had forgotten that she was a pregnant woman. No. It was not that he had forgotten about it. He did not care that she was a pregnant woman at all. After all, this child was not what he wanted. He did not want to keep it. He has even thought that if his grandmother did not come around, he will make her go through an abortion.At that moment, he was
Zade approached Josiah. Josiah raised his eyebrows and mocked, "What? Do you want to fight again?""Mister Josiah, it's inappropriate to fight in a hospital, so I want to change a different way of begging you. I beg you to let Merelyn go, please?" Zade pleaded sincerely, "Merelyn loves me. Her dream was to leave Jehovah City with me. Why would you force her to stay by your side?""You want me to let her go?" Josiah said, "I've already said before. Unless you sleep with her right in front of me and abort the child, then I'll let her go.""You know she can't do it. Why would you force her to do so?""Since she can't do it, that means she doesn't love you enough." Josiah left. He turned back and sneered after taking two steps. "Only those that can't do it will try to blame it on others."He was clear. If Meredith loved him, why did he need to beg him to let her go?Zade gritted his teeth and looked at Josiah leaving. He said, "Wait for me. I'll make Merelyn want to leave with me on
Zade suddenly held Meredith's hands. "Merelyn, the last time, I was too much of a coward, but I have thought about it. I cannot stay such a coward any longer. I have to take you away from all this suffering. Also, Nia. We will take her along too.""But…""What?""But Nia's condition is much more serious than before. She can no longer go through any hardships."Meredith no longer wanted to leave Jehovah City. One was because Nia's condition was too serious. Secondly, she was pregnant at that moment. She had a sliver of a hope to rely on. Also, if Josiah's grandmother were to gain consciousness in the near future, Nia's chances were much higher.However, she did not dare to reject Zade too directly, after all, he had helped her out a lot previously."Don't worry. We are both doctors. Nia will be cared for by us on the way there." Zade held her hand and gently comforted her, "Merelyn, don't be afraid. I'm here."Josiah just visited his grandmother when he thought of going to see Me
She wanted to visit Nia upstairs after getting some rest.But when she finished her chicken soup, Meredith's tummy felt slightly uncomfortable and she decided to take some rest."Zade, you should get going now. I want to take a nap.""I thought I made it clear that I've only come back to bring you with me. I don't have anything else to do."Meredith was worried that Zade's presence would cause Josiah to misunderstand but she could not do anything with Zade.But Meredith guessed that Josiah could not care less about her and he would not drop by the hospital.After a while, Meredith's tummy ached more than before.She suddenly felt her lower body getting wet. Anxious, she flipped and looked under the covers to see her trousers stained with a red patch of blood.Meredith let out a shriek and started pressing the bell frantically.At the sight of the bleeding, the doctor too was anxious and quickly examined her.After a moment, the doctor asked, "Miss Meredith, what did you eat e
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
