Lily always thought that Josiah and Meredith would reconcile sooner or later. Especially after seeing Nia return, she believed it even more so.She never expected this outcome.Lily looked at Josiah and saw a hit of disappointment in his eyes. From the way they argued, it was most likely unsalvageable.Sigh.…Charlie was transferred out of the intensive care unit the next day.After the anesthesia wore off, he was in unbearable pain, but when he saw Meredith's worried-looking face, he comforted her on the contrary, "Meredith, don't worry. I'm fine."Meredith did not dare to tell him that his legs were crippled. She only bore through her tears and nodded.Mary looked at him and felt even worse, so much so she could not say a single word. She simply found an excuse and left."By the way, Meredith, are you alright?" Charlie suddenly remembered that Meredith had fallen to the ground too during the crash."I'm fine." Meredith shook her head. She grabbed his hand and said moving
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't say anything anymore. I know you like her the best," Mary said while rolling her eyes at Charlie.Meredith entered with the oatmeal porridge she just made.Seeing Charlie awake, she immediately smiled and said, "Charlie, you're up. Are you feeling better?""Meredith, the pain is still quite unbearable."Meredith reached out and ruffled his head. "Don't hold it in. When it hurts, yell out. It feels better. I won't laugh at you."Charlie took her hand from his head and said, "Meredith, haven't I said it before? Don't touch or pat my head. It feels like you're doting on a child."Charlie was most unwilling to admit that he was still a kid, especially in front of Meredith."Oh, I forgot."Meredith turned around and poured the oatmeal porridge out from the thermos. She put it in front of him and said gently, "Charlie, let's eat some.""Meredith, what sort of oatmeal porridge did you make for me? It smells amazing.""Of course, it's the one that you like.
"Okay, just like before," Nia said.Hearing their conversation, Meredith's nose turned sore. She turned around, not daring to look at them.Nia spent some time with Charlie for a while before sitting at the table beside him and doing her homework.Meredith was prepared to feed Charlie dinner.Charlie accepted the cutlery and bowl. "Meredith, thank you. I'll do it on my own.""It's fine, it's nothing.""You have to work during the daytime, then you have come to visit me during mealtimes. How could it be nothing?" Charlie said heartbrokenly, "Meredith, actually you don't have to come to see me. There's a caretaker.""I don't find it tough." Meredith patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry."After having dinner with Charlie, Meredith was about to send Nia home.She opened the door and surprisingly saw Josiah standing outside of the door. Her expressions instantly changed. She said with a suppressed tone, "What are you doing here?""I'm here to see Charlie.""See him? To make h
"They haven't solved it for the time being. It's still ongoing," Meredith casually explained, "but I heard the police say that the one who was driving was a mentally unstable patient. His condition flared up, which was why he crashed into us."Subconsciously, Meredith did not hope that Charlie found out that it was done by Josiah. After all, they were cousins. She did not hope that their relationship would turn for the worse. Meredith suddenly thought about what Josiah said, so she said to Charlie, "Charlie, rest for a while. I'll go down to get some fruits.""Okay." Charlie nodded.After Meredith left, she took her phone out and dialed Josiah. Josiah's cold voice came from the phone, "Is there anything else?""Yes. Please wait up for me." Meredith quickly entered the lift.Soon after, she was by Josiah's car.She reached out and patted Nia on the head. "Nia, why don't you go to the car to wait for a while? Mommy has something to say to Daddy."Nia nodded obediently.Josiah h
Meredith was struck dumb by his comment.Josiah said that he did not do it. She did not believe him.As for whether he was going to find Charlie the best doctor, she did not know, which was why she came to beg him."Charlie is your cousin. I hope that you didn't hurt him," Meredith said.Josiah shoved her to the side, opened the car door, and got in.Meredith secretly gritted her teeth. When she turned to face the car once more, she was already smiling. She waved at Nia. "Bye Nia. Sleep early.""Goodbye, Mommy." Nia waved at her.Meredith returned to the ward with heavy footsteps. Charlie measured her empty hands up. He asked curiously, "Meredith, weren't you getting fruits? Where are they?"Then only Meredith remembered that she was supposed to buy fruits. She immediately lied and said, "I wanted to buy some cherries for you, but they ran out!""Oh, no worries. I don't have to eat them." Charlie did not mind one bit."Charlie, I'll deal with some emails. Do you want to watch
After an hour, the man was sent in.Meredith measured the skinny man up. He saw her too, then his expression slowly turned into surprise.Clearly, he recognized her."You know me?" Meredith got up from the sofa, walked over to him, and asked, "That's strange. If you were to accidentally crash into me, how do you know me?"The man calmly shook his head. "No, I don't know you.""But your expressions sold you out. You know me. From this, I could see that the day of the accident was not the first time you saw me." Meredith pretended to ponder for a while. "Let me guess. Someone must have shown you a photo of me and my husband so that you could crash into us, right""No. No. It's nothing like that." The man shook his head. "Miss, you're mistaken. I really don't know you."Meredith took out a check from her back and raised it in front of him. "This is twenty-thousand dollars. All you need to do is tell me whether someone ordered you to do this, and who was the one who ordered you to d
Naturally, Quinley would not want to embarrass herself in front of someone she knew, especially in front of Meredith, but it was too late to hide. She could only brace herself and walked over to Meredith."What? Is it strange?" She crossed her arms around her chest and walked over. Her bright red lips curled into a mocking smile. "Meredith, I'm sure that you're happy to see me ending up like this, right? If you're happy, just laugh at me. You don't have to hold back."Meredith shrugged nonchalantly. "Miss Allison, please don't be so full of yourself. Do you think I have time to be happy over someone so unimportant?"Quinley's expressions changed. She was going mad with jealousy.She never thought that back then, after she finally forced Meredith away from Josiah with much difficulty, Meredith became even more stunning two years later. She even had a company of her own.She, on the other hand, had lost all of her family and wealth and she had to sell her body to make a living.Mer
"She is Yena. Isn't Yena your enemy?" Quinley chuckled. "It's amusing thinking about it. The person that you have been constantly looking for has always been next to you. She was also constantly coveting for your husband."Yena?!It was Yena!Meredith shook her head instinctively. "I don't believe it. How could it be Yena? She…""What about her? She was Miss Leah's daughter? She had always grown up in Jehovah City?" Quinley said, "That's because she was sold to Miss Leah's family. She was never Miss Leah's biological daughter."Meredith never expected that Qira's younger sister was Yena. Qira was so kind and gentle, Yena was…Thinking back about how Yena defamed her in front of Josiah back then, she was instantly disappointed."Meredith, I'm doing it for your own good," Quinley said."No. You didn't tell me only so that you could watch me fight with Yena. Best if we all got hurt and you could take advantage of it." Meredith immediately saw through her scheme. "It's only a pit
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
