"I'm going to kill you!" She was still struggling.Josiah simply picked her up and walked toward the bathroom door.After throwing her on the big bed. He pinned her down and looked at her. "Are you making a fuss for that man? Try it! I'll let you never see Nia!"He used Nia to threaten her again.However, every time he used this trick, she would not dare to struggle anymore.However, there were pea-sized tears in her eyes, and she looked at him. "Josiah, do you know? This hairpin was given to me by my mother on my 18th birthday. Besides the perfume, it is the only thing that my mother left for me. When I had an accident, Ysabelle stole my hairpin, so it was circulated on the market again."I wonder why…why does a stranger know to secretly send it back to me, but you went and destroyed it?" She cried and said, "Are you so happy to see me sad? Are you so proud?""..." Josiah's angry eyes were slightly surprised.He did not expect this hairpin to be her 18th birthday present.Loo
"I'll fix it for you," he said.Meredith still did not give it to him. After all, in her heart, this man was untrustworthy.Josiah frowned. "Didn't you agree to be obedient?""I can't give this to you," she insisted with tears in her eyes.The hairpin has been broken, and she could not let it fall into Josiah's hands anymore.Her distrust made Josiah a little disappointed and annoyed at the same time.However, he could not let her hurt herself like this, so he could only continue to coax her. "Give it to me, I promise not to break it again, and tell me who gave you the hairpin. I'll pay him back the money he spent on the hairpin."Josiah was rich, and he was not afraid to take advantage of his position.Especially when he thinks that the other party is likely to be a man who had feelings for Meredith. He would not hesitate to use his wealth as leverage!No matter how he coaxed, Meredith would not let go.Seeing the blood oozing out of her palm from time to time, Josiah was st
Meredith shook her head. "I won't cry anymore."She said that she would not cry, but her tears could not stop flowing.Unlike before, she was shedding tears of joy and excitement. She was so happy!While she was happy, Josiah finally took out the two hairpin pieces from her palm. Then, he got up and took out the medicine box from the cabinet to clean up her wounds.The wound was a little deep, but she did not seem to feel the pain, and she still cried and laughed for a while.The wound was bandaged, and Josiah said, "Close your eyes and go to bed."She suddenly sat up from the bed and grabbed his arm. "I don't want to sleep, I'm going to see Nia. Joe, if Nia wakes up and doesn't see her daddy and mommy, she will definitely be very disappointed. Her condition might worsen because of excessive disappointment."She choked up and continued, "So we can't sleep, we have to hurry over to accompany her and wait for her to wake up!"Josiah looked at her anxious face.It had been a long
Meredith looked at Josiah and complained, "If I hadn't chased you all the way to the airport last time, you would not have brought me to see Nia, right?"She was right.If she had not chased after him to the airport and insisted on coming over on the grounds of Nia's birthday, he would not have let her see Nia so easily.It was also because he did not believe that Doctor Joshua's suggestion can work on Nia."Doctor Joshua, Nia has been transferred to the general ward, can we stay by her side 24/7?" Meredith asked impatiently.Just now, she and Josiah went to see Nia for the first time and found that she did show signs of waking up. Nia seemed to respond to her and Josiah's arrival.She could guess that Nia must be very happy.Doctor Joshua thought for a moment and said, "sure." He originally disagreed, but he saw Mrs. Shelby's feelings for Nia, and he really could not bear to reject her."Thank you, Doctor Joshua, you are so kind and excellent." Meredith was grateful.Nia wa
"You bought it?" Meredith asked suspiciously."I've arranged for it long ago." Josiah deliberately teased her. "Do you think that I'm so insincere like you? You only want to search for a flower shop at the last minute."Meredith was at a loss for words from his teasing.Taking the flowers from the woman, Meredith pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why are there so few? There are only six.""I asked Doctor Joshua, and he said that Nia has just been transferred from the sterile ward. It's not good for her to be exposed to too many things from outside, so I didn't dare to buy so many flowers."Josiah pinched the rose petals, and his eyes showed tenderness. "Since Nia likes roses, we're going to have only roses in the front and back of the house in the future."Thinking of the garden at home, Meredith could not help but sneer. "It also depends on whether Nia forgives you, or if she wants the roses to be in the garden."After speaking, she pushed open the door and walked into Ni
If it was not for Doctor Joshua calling in time to tell them the good news of Nia, he would not even know how to take off the hairpin in her palm.Meredith glanced at her palm and shook her head. "I don't feel any pain.""You're not hungry, and you're not in pain. Are you made of steel?""Thanks to you, I have long been immune to pain." She curled the corners of her lips coldly.Being by Nia's side, she felt no pain at all.Josiah looked at the coldness in her eyes and sighed helplessly, "Mrs. Shelby, on such a good day, don't say these hurtful words, okay?"Meredith rarely agreed with what he said. She suppressed the hatred that came up in her heart.Nia was about to wake up. It was better to have a calm state of mind.In the evening, Josiah asked Meredith to go back to Shelby Mansion to rest, but she still refused.Her reason was that she could not sleep because of the time difference anyway, so she might as well stay with Nia in bed.Josiah had no choice but to compromise.
Naturally, Meredith had that dream again.In the dream, Nia was trapped in the darkness and beckoned to her for help, but she could not do anything. She could only watch as Nia was sucked away by the darkness."Nia! Nia, don't go! Don't leave Mommy! Don't—""Mommy!" A soft voice called from the darkness again."Nia, Nia, where are you?" Meredith waved her hands and grabbed around, and finally caught a small, thin hand."Nia, Nia..." She cried with grief. "Nia, I beg you not to leave, mommy really can't stand it anymore!""Mommy, Nia is not leaving." Although Nia's voice was weak, it was firm. "Nia loves Mommy." "Really?" Meredith opened her eyes faintly, looked at Nia in front of her, and asked repeatedly, "Are you really not leaving? Are you not leaving again?"Nia nodded lightly, and a happy smile appeared on her pale face.It was the first time that Meredith had a happy ending in her dream, and she was so happy that she did not want to wake up.Suddenly, she woke from the
"Mommy knows, Mommy is really fine." Meredith cupped her little face with both hands. "Seeing my little baby wake up, Mommy will be fine, understand?""Am I so magical?" Nia asked with a smile."Of course, Nia is Mommy's magic wand." Meredith could see that Nia was really weak. She hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. We should Nia back to the ward to rest.""Nia, let's go back to the ward to rest." Josiah picked up Nia from the wheelchair. Nia immediately leaned on his shoulders and let him carry her away.Meredith looked at the picture of the two walking away, and she was a little crazy for a while.It was the first time she had seen such a scene!Josiah was carrying Nia. Was this the first time?No, she remembered that when Nia took the initiative to find Josiah for the first time, Josiah also carried her, but he took her home and threw her out.At that time, he did not admit that Nia was his daughter at all, and he hated Nia deeply.Even when Nia was aband
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
