"Grandma, I miss Mommy," said Nia as she had her eyes fixed on the door of the ward.Feeling sorry for her granddaughter, Alayna stroked the back of Nia's head and comforted her, "Your mommy is still at work and I'm sure that she'll come to visit once she's done with work."Nia had not seen Meredith for days and of course, she was missing Meredith.But Josiah had no plans of letting Meredith go.Feeling puzzled, Nia asked, "Grandma, why are daddy and mommy both busy with work and have got no time for me?""Because your parents love you a lot and they're working hard to earn money to pay for your treatment.""I see." Nia nodded her head obediently.She then looked at Alayna and asked, "Grandma, I want to go downstairs to wait for daddy and mommy, can I?"Alayna did not know what to do.Nia thought that Alayna was worried that she would catch a cold hence she quickly put on a jacket and said, "Look grandma, I won't catch a cold if I wear this."Aside from worrying that Nia woul
"Miss, do you mind showing me where the first entrance is? I'm a bit confused…" The middle-aged woman asked as she pretended that she was lost."There, do you see that gray building there…"Upon seeing Alayna was getting further away from the wheelchair, Ysabelle thought this was her chance to attack. She started inching closer toward Nia.Just when her hands were about to reach the handle of the wheelchair, Ysabelle cursed in her heart, 'Go to hell, you b*stard's child!'"What do you think you're doing?!" Alayna yelled the moment she saw Ysabelle who was about to push Nia's wheelchair. In a reflex, Alayna threw herself onto Ysabelle.Ysabelle was startled by Alayna and before her hands could even touch the wheelchair, she was flung to the ground by Alayna."Ahh!" Ysabelle let out a painful shriek when her forehead hit the staircase and her sunglasses dropped to the floor.Feeling a gush of warm liquid dripping across the side of her face, Ysabelle reached out her hands to feel
Turned out that he was here too.Turned out that Ysabelle and him were already this close to each other.Turned out that Ysabelle's plan had worked out perfectly in her favor.She cracked a bitter smile. Looking at how Ysabelle was leaning intimately in Josiah's arms, she said, "Mister Josiah, if you don't mind me using your words - don't you think that this scene is oddly familiar?"Back then, Ysabelle had put on a similar show to trick him and this incident was no different.Glancing at her, Josiah tugged at the corners of his lips. "So you mean to say that Ysabelle wants to kill your daughter? But her plan failed and she hurt herself in the face?""I caught her red-handed just in time. If I hadn't pushed her away in time, she would have pushed Nia off the stairs!" Alayna was quivering in anger.Ysabelle retorted, "Alayna Sawyer, do you think I'm that dumb to harm that b*stard's child? What is in it for me anyway if the child is dead?""Because…"Alayna was about to argue ba
Seeing how Meredith was pleading with her meekly, Ysabelle was exhilarated.Three years ago, Meredith was not her match and to this day, she was still not a good match for her."Exactly. How could someone at this age still be this evil and scheming? She should be taught a lesson by the law," Ysabelle looked at Josiah and asked, "what do you say, Josiah?""I agree," replied Josiah.Even though her entire body was quivering in anger, at the thought of Nia who was left all alone in the hospital, Alayna bit down on her anger and said to Ysabelle, "Ysabelle, it's my fault, I should have been more careful. Would you be so kind-hearted to forgive me? Please…""Aunt Alayna, if you'd chosen to admit to your wrongdoing at the beginning instead of accusing me of having an intent to kill, I wouldn't even have called the cops," Ysabelle added, "If I were to let you go this time, what happens if you end up being more aggressive toward me?""Ysabelle…" Alayna dropped onto her knees and begged,
In the mansion.Yena was put in the guest room on the second floor. Ysabelle was extremely busy. She was much more considerate and eager toward her than to her sisters.After settling Yena down, she placed a bouquet of fresh roses by the nightstand next to the bed and smiled at Josiah. She said, "Josiah, Yena loves this color of roses. I will change a fresh bouquet for her every day."Without waiting for Josiah to say anything, Ysabelle continued, "Also, Josiah, I'll just stay in the room next to hers. It's easier to take care of Yena that way."She did not expect that Josiah would say, "No need. I've already found someone to take care of Yena."Ysabelle was slightly disappointed. Previously, Josiah did not object to it, she thought that he had agreed for her to come over to take care of Yena. She never would have thought…"But, the doctor said that it's best to let Yena be with people she's familiar with. It'll help her come around quicker," Ysabelle did not give up and continue
"It depends on how sincere you kneel to me.""Where?"Ysabelle gave her an address. Half an hour later, they met in an alley. Meredith looked at the woman in bright-colored clothes, looking elegant and regal. However, her mind was filled with what that woman did to her in the past.Knowing how vicious that woman was, would she easily let her mother go? Meredith did not believe it.However, to save her mother, she had to give it a try.Meredith bent her knees and knelt on the ground. "I'm sorry. I hope that you can forgive my mother. She's old. I hope you can write her a pardon letter."Ysabelle looked at how lowly Meredith looked. She chuckled smugly, "Meredith Leighton. You're still so useless. You've gone into hiding for three years and you're still such a coward."Then, Ysabelle raised her hand and poured the iced tea that she bought a moment ago while passing by a dessert shop over Meredith's head.The iced tea drizzled from Meredith's head to the back of her neck, soakin
"Yes, I'll admit it. I wanted to kill her." Ysabelle nodded. She provoked Meredith harder. "Back then, I initially wanted to throw her into the flames, I never thought that she would escape it, so I can only continue taking action on her."Today, when I picked up Yena from the hospital, I saw her upstairs waiting for her daddy and mommy to come to see her. I found her face annoying, so I couldn’t help but walk toward her…"Meredith finally could not take it any longer and pounced at Ysabelle. She grabbed Ysabelle's hair and yelled, "Ysabelle! You viciously attacked a three-year-old. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"Ysabelle was forced backward by Meredith and hit the wall behind her. Ysabelle did not fight back, letting Meredith continue hitting her, letting Meredith take it out on her. She merely hugged her head. "Meredith, stop hitting me. I've already said I'll forgive your mother. It hurts…""Ah! My head hurts!" Ysabelle continued to wail, "Meredith, I was wrong. I'll never d
"Mister Josiah, don't worry. Miss Yena's life signs are stable. She has no signs of maladjustment due to the changing environment.""Okay. Thank you." Josiah nodded.As long as Meredith is not involved, his character was quite gentle.…Meredith thought that if she took her mother's medical records, she would be able to bail her out, yet she never thought that she would be refused.She initially did not understand why that happened, until she remembered what Ysabelle said to her. Ysabelle said that she would torment her bit by bit, making her wish that she was never born.Making sure her mother dies inside of prison was probably the first step of her plan! After begging people inside for a long time without getting any response, she could not help but change her target to Josiah.She knew that Josiah was not any better than Ysabelle, she also knew that it would be futile to ask him for help, but she still went ahead with it.At that moment, Josiah was drinking with his bunch
