At that moment, he realized that he had wrongfully blamed her.Everything she did was for Nia. To treat Nia.Josie thought hard before asking for credit unabashedly, "Back then, Merelyn was in a tough spot. She always asked for her pay early. I always gave it to her.""You don't have to say anything more," Josiah said calmly.He did not want to bring up those matters anymore. He could not bear to do it.At the thought that back then, Nia was still in the hospital waiting to be urgently treated, yet he found all ways to make things difficult for her, he felt like a jerk."You're right. If I were Meredith, I would choose Charlie too." Josiah bitterly picked up his glass and took a sip. He asked, "Tell me, why was I so stupid back then? Why didn't I believe that Nia was my daughter?""Because you lost your mind over the Yoel incident. You always thought the worst of everything. Naturally, with Meredith, your IQ goes down to negative numbers. Luckily Nia is fine now, if not, you'll
Greg struggled a little. His expressions were still malicious. "Josiah, you killed my daughter and made my company go bankrupt. I'll never let you go!""Is this how you're doing it?" Josiah sneered condescendingly, "Your tactics are a little too low.""You—" Greg wanted to pounce at him. "What about your tactics? You're more despicable than anyone else. You're ruthless! You don’t deserve to be human!"Josiah's expressions finally darkened a little. Did he not deserve to be human? Was he ruthless?At that moment, what he thought were Meredith's words about him."But it was your daughter that offended me first." Josiah never cared what other people thought of him, yet he was trying to explain himself."Maeve only liked you. If you didn't like her, you could have just told her. Why did you have to kill her? Why did you have to come at Xander Corporation because of her?" Greg scolded, "Josiah, you're a jerk! Not only are you vicious to your pursuers, but you also abuse your wife! You
That was right! Meredith was only worried about Josiah because of Nia! Other than Nia, she had no feelings or thoughts toward Josiah.Liam nodded and said to her, "Have a seat."Meredith found a chair to sit down on, yet she began to feel antsy. She kept looking in the direction of the emergency room.To distract herself, she asked Liam, "Why did Maeve's father knock Josiah over? Was it because of Maeve?""I'm guessing the main reason was that the Xander Corporation had gone bankrupt." Liam said, "After all, when Maeve offended Josiah, Greg immediately cut ties with her. He no longer acknowledged Maeve as his daughter.""Xander Corporation has gone bankrupt?" Meredith was stunned. "Josiah did that?""I don't…think so." Liam thought for a while before saying, "Josiah only stopped all the cooperation with Xander Corporation. The people on the market also distanced themselves from Xander Corporation to please Josiah. This was how they went out of business step by step."Meredith co
After staying at the hospital for a while, the doctor advised Meredith to return home.The reason was that Josiah was in the intensive care unit, she could not see him nor be with him. There was no need for her to stay at the hospital. She should just head home instead.Meredith agreed to it.When she returned home, Alfred immediately asked her, "How is he doing? Is it serious?""I don't know about it for now. Let's wait and see." Meredith saw the bag on the sofa. She asked, "Has Nia returned?""Yes. She has to go to school tomorrow. Old Madam Shelby got Walter to send her back," Alfred said, "Nia has been looking for her Daddy and Mommy. Lily is tending to her right now.""I'll go have a look." Meredith headed upstairs.Sure enough, Nia was not asleep yet. She kept asking where her parents had gone too. Lily did not know how to comfort her. She could only tell Nia that her parents were still outside, and they had not returned yet.Seeing Meredith, Nia finally smiled brightly.
"Did Josiah hurt you?" Turns out, Charlie was worried that Josiah would hurt Meredith. Apparently, Josiah was not only cruel in her eyes, but also other people's eyes.However, this time, Josiah did not hurt her at all. It was indeed not his style of doing things.She shook her head. "No.""That's good then." Charlie held her arm once again. "Meredith, if he hurts you again in the future, call me. I'll help you. Of course, if you could leave him right now, that would be even better. I could take you away from Jehovah City. Far away."Charlie said so sincerely that Meredith was a little moved by him.However, she did not know if Josiah still had the chance to bully her or not. After all, him coming around was still a problem."Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it." Meredith smiled bitterly and said guiltily, "Also, about meeting your parents yesterday, I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier about my relationship with Josiah.""It's fine. I don’t care what relationshi
Josiah was stumped by Liam's questions.Yes. Was he still hoping that Meredith would miss him? Meredith had told him long ago that she would not marry him again in her entire life. She only stayed back to take care of Nia."You're right." Josiah smiled bitterly and sat up."What are you doing?" Liam was frightened by him."Getting discharged. What else?"Liam was speechless. "You're in the intensive care unit. If you run out just like that, you'll scare the others."Josiah did not care about any of that. He initially wanted to gain some pity from Meredith by pretending that he was dying. Since Meredith did not buy it, why should he continue the pretense?"Hold up, I lied to you." Liam pushed him back to the bed and said, "Actually, Meredith was still very anxious last night. She even stayed back in the hospital until late at night before returning home. Also, I saw how anxious she looked. It's not only because of Nia."Josiah was speechless. "Liam, are you done!?""I'm telling
"How is Josiah? How is he?" Meredith held Liam's arms. She was so anxious that her eyes reddened.Liam felt guilty when he saw how anxious she was. He had to secretly console himself that he was doing this so that they could reconcile."Meredith, don't worry. Josiah has come around," Liam said.Meredith's expressions froze. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Are you for real? He has come around?"Her tensed body relaxed. Her eyes reddened even more. There were even tears falling.Of course, they were tears of joy.Josiah finally came around. She never thought that she would be so excited by this piece of news that tears fell."Hmm, don't worry. Didn't I say just now that Josiah is a lucky person? He will be fine." Liam patted her on her shoulders.Meredith nodded and asked, "Where is he right now?""At the intensive care unit. Do you want to go in and see him?""Can I?""Yes, I'm sure you can," Liam said.Ten minutes later, Meredith saw Josiah in the intensive care uni
Meredith turned around and looked at him concernedly, "What is it?""Edith, I still have a question to ask you.""What is it that you can't wait until you get better before you ask me?""No," He said bitterly, "I'm afraid if I don't ask you now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to ask you when I die."Meredith was speechless. How could she bear to refuse him when he put it that way?"Ask me, then." Meredith leaned in closer to him.Josiah's gaze darkened a little. He said, "You don't want me to die so eagerly, other than Nia, could there be a small part that has to do with you too?"Meredith was speechless. Why was he still in the mood to ask such lame questions at that point in time?As if he could read her mind, he added, "This question is important to me."Meredith looked at him. She thought if she were to say it was solely because of Nia, he might be over agitated and pass out once more, so even if it was because of his injuries, she did not dare to deliberately provoke
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
