"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
"No-" Meredith cried even louder.She did not want to face the truth.Her baby was fine and healthy earlier, so why did she lose her baby all of a sudden?With her baby gone, Meredith knew that there was no hope for Nia anymore.Meredith was devastated as she felt her world crumbling down.But why?Why would Zade do this to her?She wanted to demand an answer from Zade but she was stopped by the nurses. "Miss Meredith, you shouldn't be moving around. We still need to clean up the blood clots.""No! I have to go find him!""Miss Meredith, please calm down."The doctor had no choice but to press her down on the bed and force her to calm down.After having the fetus and blood clot removed, Meredith fell asleep under the anesthetic.Ysabelle pulled into a smile when she saw Meredith being pushed into the surgery room."Meredith Leighton, I really thought that you were that unbeatable but I guess I was wrong," Ysabelle scoffed and murmured under her breath.Meredith had lost h
Meredith had a dream. In that dream, she had lost her baby and Nia had left her too.Before leaving her, Nia cried, "Mommy, why am I not getting any better when the roses have fully bloomed?"Mommy, I don't want to be human anymore in my next life. I want to be a rose. I want to grow up beautifully."Mommy, you did not save my brother. You did not save me."Mommy, you won't get to see me anymore."Mommy…""Don't leave me, Nia, don't. Don't leave me…" Meredith cried as she pleaded, "don't leave me here all alone…Nia…""Merelyn, wake up. Merelyn?" She heard someone calling out to her.It was a familiar voice. The voice belonged to someone that she had once relied on and trusted.But why did his voice sound cold?Opening her eyes slowly, Meredith saw Zade's worried face. She was confused about whether she was dreaming or whether it was reality.Meredith guessed that she was probably in a dream.She still refused to believe that Zade had given her the pills that caused her to m
