"I…" Meredith did not dare to tell Alfred what she was doing. She hid her identification documents behind her and said, "There is something urgent I have to handle. You can just ignore me, Alfred."Ever since she knew that Nia was alive and decided to stay with Josiah, he has stopped keeping an eye on her. Since she said that she has something urgent to handle, naturally, Alfred let her go without asking her too many questions.Josiah's mansion was quite a distance away from the main road. Meredith tried getting a taxi while running toward the main road, because the wealthy people mainly lived there, there were not many taxis she could order online. It was hard to get one.Meredith ran while calling Josiah, but no one picked up. Could Josiah have already boarded?Right when she was feeling helpless, a black car screeched to a halt by the side of the road.Meredith turned to look in the car. She saw a familiar handsome face.Him? Charlie?Charlie was beaming as usual. He said wit
After Meredith rushed into the airport, she continued using her phone to try to get in touch with Josiah. This time, the call was connected. Josiah said, "What's up?"If nothing had happened, Meredith would not have called him. When Meredith heard his voice, she urgently asked, "Josiah, where are you?"Josiah replied perfunctorily, "On a business trip.""I want to go with you.""Why do you want to do that?""I'm bored at home alone, so I want to go with you," Meredith looked for him among the crowd while saying urgently.The flight ticket to other countries costs a lot. She had been under Josiah's control all this while. She did not have any money on her at all."I'm going on a business trip. It's for work. You can't come along," Josiah said seriously, "if you're bored, you can get Yoseph to accompany you shopping.""No, I don't want that! I want to follow you! Josiah, I beg you to take me along!" She could not locate him. She guessed he must have been by the gate waiting to
At that moment, Wesley brought the newly printed tickets over. He handed them to Josiah. "Mister Josiah, we're just in time. Quickly take the tickets and go in."Meredith saw the ticket with her name printed on it. The destination was Feldenberg. She finally believed that Josiah was planning to take her to Feldenberg to celebrate Nia's birthday.Josiah was finally taking her to see Nia! She was instantly so excited that tears started to fall.Josiah looked at her teary face and furrowed his brows a little. "You cry if I don't bring you, you cry if I bring you too. Meredith, what on earth do you want?"Meredith was speechless. What did she want? Those were happy tears!"Quickly stop crying, in case the security people might think that I'm kidnapping you, they might arrest me in the interrogation room," Josiah intimidated her.Meredith immediately stopped crying.After all, Josiah being interrogated was one thing, but missing her flight was the more serious matter! Even when the
"No need!" Meredith shook her head.Meredith realized that she was too anxious, so she added, "I'm sorry. I'm only thinking that it's almost ten at night back home. Nia's birthday is almost over, so I want to save as much time as possible.""Nia can't eat cake now. She can't get close to pollen too," Josiah reminded Meredith. As a doctor, how could Meredith not know about these?However, when she heard what Josiah said, her eyes reddened disappointedly. She said painfully, "I know, but I still want to buy one for her. I could eat on her behalf. I could accept the bouquet on her behalf too."She would wait until the following year when Nia could eat cake and take bouquets. Then, she would properly make it up to her.Josiah looked at her reddened eyes and said, "Let's go. Get in the car."Meredith pulled him back. "Are you not going to take me to get them?""It's all prepared.""What? You already bought it?" Meredith said in surprise."Hmm," Josiah said, "I've already said befor
"Nia…" Meredith gently tapped on the glass and called out.Nia, inside, seemed to have sensed her mother's presence. Her usual weak heartbeat had signs of rising.Even Doctor Joshua was a little stunned. He said, "Mrs. Shelby, Nia seemed to have sensed you. Look at her heartbeat rising."Meredith immediately wiped away the tears on her face. Her eyes widened. She said anxiously, "Are you for real? Can Nia sense it? Can she really sense it?"Doctor Joshua nodded seriously. "It looks like it."Meredith grabbed Doctor Joshua by his shoulders. "Doctor, can you let me go in and see Nia? I want her to be able to sense me better. I want her to know that her daddy and mommy have never given her up. Please!"To get Doctor Joshua to agree to her, she was about to kneel, but Josiah pulled her up."Meredith, when will you change your habit of kneeling at others for whatever small reason?" Josiah furrowed his brows.It was one thing kneeling in front of him. How could she kneel in front of
Coming out from Nia's ward, Meredith silently followed Josiah back to Shelby Mansion.Josiah first arranged for the servants to prepare Meredith's clothes and daily necessities.He entered the bedroom and saw Meredith sitting on the floor eating the cake while crying at the same time.The cake was brought back from the hospital. It was Nia's birthday cake. Next to the cake was a bouquet of exquisite roses.Meredith's cream-covered face juxtaposed with the pink flowers. She looked extremely heartbroken.Josiah sighed helplessly. He walked over and said, "Stop crying already. If you're going to be like that, I might not bring you here again the next time." Meredith wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. She said stubbornly, "Why? Is it wrong for me to eat the cake on Nia's behalf?""It's not wrong." Josiah looked at her, already eating almost half of the huge cake. "But if you're going to continue eating, I'm afraid you might stuff yourself to death. Then, Nia will no lo
Josiah turned to the side and look at her without any expressions on his face. "Meredith, you have a huge responsibility for how Nia turns out, so you don’t have to speak so harshly.""Are you trying to push the responsibility now?" Meredith sneered."I was wrong. I'll admit it, but if you didn't sleep with Yoel back then and got caught red-handed with photos, I wouldn't have doubted Nia's identity, so while blaming others, please have some introspection too.""Yoel and I were framed!" Meredith initially did not want to explain this issue, but it had to do with Nia, so she had to explain it."Yena has not come around yet. What you say is naturally what it is," Josiah mocked, "Meredith, how stupid can you be to be framed until you are below another man's body without any clothes? I'm not bringing up the past because of Nia, but that doesn't mean I'm brainless.""Josiah, I thought that you have finally come to your senses! I never thought that you are still equally brainless!" Mered
Josiah was still wearing the clothes that day. He clearly had just returned home.Seeing that Meredith was not asleep yet, he paused for a while before entering her room and asking her, "Are you less angry yet?"Meredith ignored him.Josiah did not agree to help her stay in Feldenberg. How could she be less angry about it?Josiah looked at her phone and saw what she was searching about.He turned sideways, grabbed her shoulders, and said, "Meredith, enough! This isn't back at home. It's not like our hospital either where you can come and go as you wish."Doctor Joshua won't allow you the second chance to go in and see Nia again." Josiah gritted his teeth. "Unless you want Nia to continue staying this way."Meredith panicked. She shook her head and said, "I won't go in. All I will do every day is watch her from behind the glass. That’s enough for me.""Then what will I do after seeing her? Hide in a corner, cry, and be upset?""I…" Meredith bit her lips. "Even if that is the ca
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
