Josiah found her response rather funny. "Since when did you care about my work?""Because we're going to have a kid soon.""So you're trying to say that I should work hard and earn money to raise our child.""You're the father of my child, of course, you'd have to earn money to raise the child.""Mm…you're right.""So, you don't have to be worried about me," Meredith leaned into his arms again and said, "and go work hard.""Mrs.Shelby, it's a weekend today," Josiah chuckled."Oh, is it?" Meredith straightened her back."Don't you know when you have to go to work?""I thought we have to go to work today," Meredith scratched the back of her head and said, "How silly of me. It is no wonder people say that one would get dumber after losing their memories.""It's alright. I like you this way, adorable."He then walked into the house with her.Lily had already finished preparing breakfast.Josiah put another omelet onto Meredith's plate and said, "Have more eggs, it's good for y
"At least that's what I think. You should see to it yourself." Quinley took out the food for Ysabelle and said, "Didn't you say that you're hungry? Hurry up and eat."Ysabelle took a bite of the food but she could not seem to taste the food in her mouth."I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything.""Hold on," Ysabelle grabbed Quinley by her hand and said, "Quinley, when can you arrange for me to receive treatment at my place? I really don't want to stay here anymore.""Don't worry, I'm looking into it." Quinley then added, "But I have to remind you that you should not think of going to the ob-gyn department to see Josiah or Meredith. Stay low if you don't want all of your efforts to go to waste.""Mm…"Ysabelle replied half-heartedly.Quinley was not sure if Ysabelle took her advice seriously but she could not care less anymore.Because Quinley was simply scaring her.…Meredith went through a checkup for her pregnancy.The doctor and nurses were extra careful as Meredit
Both of them left the resting area and walked toward the lift.Watching as the lovebirds walked away, Ysabelle let out a long sigh and she slowly unclenched her fists.In the end, she could not find the courage to stand in front of them, and nor did she have the courage to ask for their forgiveness.She was worried that Josiah would be provoked if she shattered the peacefulness that they had.After all, Josiah was completely into Meredith…At the breakfast table, Meredith pushed away the glass that Josiah had filled milk with and said, "Joe, stop adding milk for me, I can't drink it anymore.""But you only had half a cup, didn't you?""Because I already ate a lot, and if I eat more, I might get fat.""What's wrong with being fat?" He chuckled."It's not good," Meredith shook her head and explained, "the books said that the baby only needs just enough nutrients, the mother shouldn't just stuff herself with all sorts of food. If not, it would be hard for the mother to get back h
She hurriedly helped Meredith get back onto her feet and checked her all over. "Miss Meredith, are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?""I…" For a moment, Meredith forgot the fact that she was pregnant because she was used to playing around with the kids as she did earlier.With the headmaster's reminder, Meredith suddenly started feeling pain all over."I…" Meredith got anxious. "My butt hurts and my tummy hurts too. My baby should be fine, right?"She could not let anything happen to her baby."You feel pain in your tummy? Oh no, this is bad!" The headmaster was getting worried. "We should get an ambulance right away.""Ma'am, is there something wrong with my baby?" The headmaster's reaction only worried Meredith even more."Miss Meredith, you fell really hard just now. I'm worried that it might have somehow affected the baby." The headmaster then quickly made a call to the hospital.Not long after, the ambulance came and picked up Meredith.The headmaster hesitated for a m
Stroking the top of her head, Josiah comforted her, "Be good and listen to me this time, okay? Let's stop your work for the time being and you can always go back to work after the baby is born, right?"Meredith loved her child but she too adored the kids in the kindergarten.But Josiah was right that no one can guarantee that she would not fall over again and hurt her baby.After a moment of hesitation, Meredith finally decided to resign from the kindergarten for the time being.Seeing how she was reluctant, Josiah felt bad for her and comforted her, "Don't be sad, Edith. We can always find a job whenever you want, but if we lose our baby, we'll lose it forever.""You're right, Joe," Meredith nodded in agreement and added, "I'm just a bit sad that I won't be seeing the kids anymore.""Silly girl," Josiah chuckled, "those kids would graduate every year and they would then leave the kindergarten. I bet you'll be sadder when that time comes, right?""Mm, you're right.""But if tha
"I see that you like drawing landscapes of mountains and oceans, so I got someone to add them to the chocolates. Do you like them?""I do!" Meredith could not put down the chocolates. "If that's the case, they had to make an entirely new mold, right? You must have spent a lot of money, right?""Not really, about one hundred thousand dollars.""One hundred thousand dollars?!" Meredith immediately put back the cover of the box and stared at him with her eyes wide-opened. "Joe, are you out of your mind? Why would you spend one hundred thousand dollars on a box of chocolate?""What's wrong with that?""Why would you spend such a big amount of money on this?" Meredith started lecturing him, "I thought I told you that we are going to have a child soon and that we have to start saving up money? You can't go around spending money like this.""Really? Did you?" Josiah leaned into her and chuckled, "When did you say this? Why don't I remember it?""I told you yesterday.""Really? Then I
"Why can't you eat them?" Lily looked puzzled."You should ask Joe." Meredith glanced at Josiah.Josiah explained, "Because the chocolates are too expensive and she thinks that I'm wasting money."Lily tried to hold back her laughter. But she was curious. "So…how much did those chocolates cost?"With Josiah's wealth, a few thousand dollars would mean nothing to him."About one hundred thousand dollars." Josiah looked at Meredith and said, "She wants me to watch my spending, to reduce my expenditure, and to start saving money to raise our child."Lily finally burst into laughter."My wife is cute, isn't she?" Josiah took the flowers and box of chocolate from Meredith's hands and said, "Here, let me bring it upstairs for you. Stay here."Meredith watched as Josiah walked upstairs. Puzzled, she asked Lily, "Lily, how am I cute? Why are you guys all laughing?"Lily immediately stopped laughing, "You've always been adorable and lovely and that is why Sir loves you so much. We are l
"If that's the case…there's nothing else for us to talk about anymore." Quinley's expression turned cold and added, "Ysabelle, it's not up to you or me to say who got Maeve killed. And besides, she was found dead in jail, you can't possibly say that I have anything to do with it.""You-!" Ysabelle was wordless with rage."You need evidence before you accuse me of something. Do you have any evidence that I killed her?" Quinley scoffed coldly, "Ysabelle, I offered to help you but this is what I get? With you doubting me and causing inconveniences? What more could I possibly do?"It is Josiah Shelby who wants you dead. The mighty Josiah Shelby. If I had the power and influence that he has, I would have done everything to save you. But I don't!"In other words, Ysabelle brought this upon herself.Ysabelle was all covered up on the couch. She regretted that she went to talk to Meredith the other day.She should have avoided Meredith.But it was all too late now."Meredith has been s
