Meredith lost it and cried for a while. She got off the bed and rushed outside.Quinley immediately pulled her back. "Meredith, where are you going?""I'm going to look for Josiah." Meredith wiped away the tears on her face. She said with a trembling voice, "Even if Nia is dead, I want to get her body back.""If you go back now, Josiah will lock you up," Quinley said, "Meredith, haven't you recovered your memories? Haven't you forgotten how Josiah treated you in the past?"Sure enough, Meredith was stunned. How did Josiah treat her back then? He treated her like dirt, stepping on her, humiliating her, and torturing her as he wished. The moment she resisted, he would make it worse.To control her movements, he forcefully imprisoned her in the mansion, completely ignoring the fact that she still had a daughter lying in the hospital waiting to be taken care of.Incident after incident, matter after matter, Meredith recalled all of them.Quinley was right. If she were to return ju
If it were not because of his reputation, Meredith could not understand why Josiah was putting on such a complete act. She, on the other hand, was like an idiot, cooperating with him obediently.In Josiah's heart, she must be an idiot, right?It was such an ironic thought.The raindrops above her head were suddenly blocked by something. The voice that she loathed suddenly rang in her ears. "Edith…"Josiah's voice was a little hoarse. It was clear he was worried sick.Meredith stopped in her tracks. Her heart skipped a beat.Josiah. How dare he appear in front of her? Was he still hoping that she would follow him back?Of course. In his eyes, she was still the fool that had lost her memories. As long as he coaxed her with a few sweet words, she would love him to death. She was the fool that called him Joe affectionately.Hehe…"Edith, are you alright? Can we go home first and talk?" Josiah took his coat off and placed it on her before gently hugging her in his arms."About the
Meredith looked at her in a daze.Although Lily had treated her well all this while, she was the one who took care of her the most in the mansion, but she still helped Josiah lie to her."Why are you so drenched? Why didn't you find a place to shelter yourself from the rain?" Lily asked concernedly. "Let's go. I'll run you a hot shower.""It's fine. I can help Edith," Josiah said.Lily nodded. "Okay, then I'll go make something hot for Ma'am to drink."Meredith followed Josiah into the bathroom without saying anything. Josiah ran the hot water before turning around to help her take off her clothes."Where have you been the entire day? You're filthy." He looked at the dirt on her.Meredith was covered in dirt because she accidentally slipped and fell when she was at the cemetery.However, she did not tell Josiah that she went to the cemetery. She also did not plan to let him know that she had already regained her memories."I accidentally fell," Meredith said gently.Josiah si
"I'll take you there when she's back to normal.""Really?" Meredith choked painfully, "Then how long do I have to wait?" Until he knew that she had gotten back her memories and stopped lying to her?Josiah did not know how to answer the question, so he silently pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead lightly. "Edith, you're already exhausted. How about you eat something and rest early?" He did not want to continue discussing the topic. Meredith did not want to talk anymore, so she buried herself in her blankets and said, "I'm not hungry, I just want to sleep.""You haven't eaten for a whole day, have you?""I have."She lied just to send him away. She wanted to be alone.Seeing her firm attitude, Josiah had no choice but to pat her on the back. "Well, you can go to bed first, and if you're hungry, I could always accompany you to eat."Meredith nodded hastily. Josiah did his best not to disturb her. He went to the guest room to take a bath and then went to the
Meredith could not sleep the entire night. When Josiah entered the bathroom to shower, she quietly sat up from her bed and walked toward the garden. She looked sadly at the battered roses. She remembered everything. She remembered how Nia cheered herself with the growth of the roses every day and the look of hope in Nia's eyes when she asked expectantly when the roses would bloom. The roses, which were Nia's beacon of hope, looked like they were about to die. Meredith picked up the watering can and watered it frantically. As if her frantic watering would help the dying plant back to life. As soon as Josiah came out, seeing her watering the roses desperately, he hurriedly snatched the watering can from her hand and said, "Edith, it will die if you water it so much." Hearing his voice, Meredith froze slightly. She could not tell if it was due to fear or resentment toward him, but she felt uncomfortable. Josiah did not suspect anything as Meredith came to see this rose f
She walked out of the bedroom and stopped when she glanced at the guest room, looking at the closed door. What came to mind was the scene of Josiah allowing Yena to live in the guest room for her to recover. The man who kept saying that he would love her and make amends to her in the future had someone else in his heart, but he still wanted to keep her by his side, as if she were a fool. She wondered what he would do when Yena woke up one day. "Ma'am, why are you here?" Lily saw her standing in a daze at the room door and asked with concern. Meredith returned to her senses and said, "Lily, I can't sleep." "Is that so? Would you like to watch some TV?" "I don't want to." Meredith looked at her. "Lily, could you accompany me and chat with me?" If she had made this request on weekdays, Lily would have agreed to it immediately. As for now, Lily did not have to guess what she wanted to talk about, so she could not help but feel a little nervous. "Ma'am, what do you want to
Her legs felt weak, and she fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face. She felt so sorry for Nia. When she was alive, she tried so hard to stay alive. After death, she did not even have a proper burial. At the same time, she was also regretful of her uselessness. Why did she have to pass out, go crazy, and lose her memory at the moment when Nia left? If she were stronger, Nia would not have been taken away by that bastard Josiah! "I'm sorry, Nia. Mommy is sorry for you..." She sat on the ground and whimpered. After crying for a while, she wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand and gritted her teeth. "Nia, don't worry, Mommy will avenge you! "Josiah, I will make you pay for your evil deeds!" She struggled to get up from the ground and staggered toward the cemetery entrance. After leaving the cemetery, she went to the hospital again. She wanted to find Doctor Sean to find out where Josiah had taken Nia. When she went to the hospital, she dis
"Well, didn't you agree to watch the nighttime scenery together with me?" Josiah bowed his head and smiled at her. He kissed her lips. "Are you fully awake? If you are, let's go out." "I have." Meredith nodded. The next moment, she was carried out of the bed by Josiah. "Which dress do you want to wear? I'll go get it for you." He asked softly. Meredith thought for a while and said, "I want to wear a white skirt." "Okay, I'll get it for you." Josiah got up and walked toward the wardrobe, and after a while he took out a long-sleeved white coat. "It's cold now, so you will have to wear a coat." He personally helped her put on the coat, and then led her downstairs. Josiah took her to the highest and most luxurious hotel in Jehovah city. The top floor of the 100-storey high building was the revolving restaurant, which was booked by Josiah tonight. Standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, she saw the bright city below them and the beautiful starry sky
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
