"Look at you feeling all bad for him. Why not call him back and ask him if he's willing to leave with you?" He snickered and added, "If he is still willing to love a b*tch like you, I'd be happy to let the both of you reunite."Meredith knew better that Zade would never love her the same anymore.No man would be able to forget a scene like that.Closing her eyes tightly, tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.Meredith was not even sure if she was feeling devastated or disappointed.Shortly after, she regained her composure and asked shakily, "Where…where is my daughter?""Don't worry. As long as you're well-behaved, nothing will happen to her.""Tell me where Nia is!"Meredith charged at him furiously, grabbing him by the collar and seethed, "Josiah Shelby, you've had your revenge on me, humiliated me, and even cornered Zade, what else do you want?"Josiah furrowed his brows into a frown and let out a soft groan.Meredith only realized that her hands were covered in b
The bodyguards acted as if they did not hear her."I promise…that I'll return to Luna Club right away after seeing my daughter. I will not cause any trouble, I promise. Please, I'm begging you."After a moment of silence, the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat said, "Miss Meredith, we're only doing what we're told to. You may call Mister Josiah if there's anything you need."Make a call to Josiah?To be honest, Meredith was already surprised that Josiah allowed Nia to return to the hospital.Or perhaps he could not be bothered to waste any time or effort dealing with a child that would die sooner or later.No matter how Meredith tried to beg the bodyguards, she was sent back to Luna Club in the end.At the sight of Meredith, Zya was perplexed.Meredith did not explain herself but said to her, "Zya, go home and check on your brother, I'm worried about him.""What happened to him? Did Mister Josiah beat him up?" Zya asked anxiously."It's worse than being beaten up." Mered
"Josiah, can I take a look at your wound?" Ysabelle lifted his shirt gently. At the sight of the bandage, tears welled up in her eyes.She looked up at him and said, "It was the same spot as the one three years ago, right? It must've been painful for you."Noticing the tears in her eyes, Josiah asked, "Why are you crying?""I…I feel sorry for you.""Yeah?" Ysabelle felt bad for him?Meredith too knew about his injury but she had not once taken a look at his wound.For the sake of saving her loverboy, Meredith did not even care about his injury. If not, his wound would not have been torn open.Josiah thought to himself that Meredith really wanted him to die.Seeing how Josiah was calm, she mustered up her courage and leaned her head on his shoulders, and said in a honeyed voice, "Josiah, now that Meredith had ended up this way and there is no chance for Yena to regain her consciousness, let me stay by your side and take care of you, okay? I don't wish to see you get hurt again
Upon seeing Alayna entering a ward, Ysabelle peeped into the room through a small opening of the door.Alayna did not notice Ysabelle who was at the door. Pouring a glass of water, she said to Nia softly, "Nia darling, it's time to take your medicine."With her pretty face crumpled, Nia asked, "Grandma, mommy had promised me that she will come to see me on time, why is she not here yet?""Because mommy has to work and she is busy," replied Alayna."Mommy still has to look for daddy, right?" Nia asked excitedly.Nodding her head, Alayna said, "That's right, darling.""Alright then. I will take my medicine and wait until Mommy comes." Nia opened her mouth to take her medicine.Ysabelle was aghast by what she saw.She only heard that Meredith had turned up at Luna Club and ran into Josiah, but she did not know anything about Meredith having a daughter.She tried to get a closer look into the ward.Though the little girl looked frail and thin, she had a pretty face that looked si
Looking as if she was hiding something, Miss Linda's eyes flickered past Ysabelle as she replied, "I handed the child over to Miss Rosa and asked her to leave the child in the fire."A fresh swell of rage rose in Ysabelle. "So you're telling me that you're not sure if the child died or not.""I'm so sorry Miss Ysabelle. When I saw that the child was not breathing and crying, I assumed that the child was dead. That was why I did not put too much care into it.""You…" Ysabelle seethed, "get Miss Rosa here right away!"Quivering in fear, Miss Linda reached for her phone and contacted Miss Rosa. Miss Rosa had already resigned from her position at the psychiatric hospital. Seeing how Miss Linda was asking her about the incident, Miss Rosa was frightened.Stuttering, Miss Rosa told Miss Linda what had actually happened.After ending the call, Miss Linda told Ysabelle, "Miss Ysabelle, Miss Rosa had returned to her hometown and she's currently not in Jehovah City. She said that since t
Josiah did not agree to her request right away but said instead, "We'll see."Feeling pleased, Ysabelle pulled into a smile.She could not wait for Yena to move back into Josiah's place as she then would be able to have more time with Josiah.…Meredith finally saw Zya showing up at work.At the sight of Zya, Meredith hesitated, not knowing what to ask. She could not bring herself to ask Zya about Zade.Zya, of course, noticed the worried look on Meredith's face. She comforted her, "Don't worry. Zade is doing fine and he has already left Jehovah City.""Zade…he really left?"And he left this quickly?Meredith was worried that Zade would not do what Josiah had asked of him and the fact that Josiah might hurt him because of that.Nodding her head, Zya added, "Zade had told me what happened last night. To be fair, if I were him, I wouldn't have been able to accept the love of my life…doing those things either."Meredith felt her face burning up."I'm sorry, Zya. Last night, I…
"Really? That's really nice of him.""Yeah, rumor has it that Josiah is cold and ruthless but he is simply indifferent to strangers. He's a sweetheart when it comes to his lover.""Yena Llyod is such a lucky girl.""I doubt it. We don't even know if she's going to wake up.""You have a point."The two nurses were gossiping and Nia's ears pricked up at the mention of Josiah's name.Meredith had told her over and over again that Josiah was not her father but Nia did not believe her.Nia wanted to ask Josiah face to face.When her grandmother went to pay the medical bills, Nia sneaked out of the ward and headed toward the lift.But because she was terribly ill, Nia started panting and gasping for air.One of the family members of a patient noticed Nia on the floor and asked concernedly, "Darling, are you okay? What are you doing here alone?"Nia looked up at the stranger and asked politely, "I want to go to the VIP ward. Can you tell me where the VIP room is?"Nia heard that J
"Why aren’t you calling me your daddy today?""Because Mommy said that you're not my daddy."Josiah only wanted to tease her but upon listening to her response, rage pulsed through his veins.Meredith had finally admitted that this child was not his!She had even acted all pitiful and wronged the other day, swearing that he would regret this one day.The thing he regretted the most was that he did not make sure that the b*stard's child was really dead."But I don't believe Mommy." Nia tugged at the sleeves of his shirt. "Uncle, are you really not my daddy? But I really want you to be my dad."In a cold tone, Josiah seethed, "I am not your father. Your father is already dead."His words made Nia's eyes turn red."My daddy is not dead." With tears welling up in her eyes, Nia said, "Mommy said that Daddy had gone to work somewhere far away. He'll return once he's done with work.""I said he's dead. Didn't you hear me?" Josiah pushed her away annoyedly.Even though he did not pu
