When Josiah heard that Meredith had been attacked, he immediately sat up from his bed worriedly. The tablet in his hands has been thrown to a side too."What did you say? Meredith had been hit? Was it serious?""I heard that her wounds had split. A few strands of her hair were pulled out, it should be…"Before Yoseph could finish, Josiah had already gotten down from the bed. Yoseph immediately went forward to stop him. "Mister Josiah, what are you doing?""What else? I'm going to see her.""Mister Josiah, Mister Charlie is in Miss Meredith's ward right now. It isn't too appropriate for you to be there, right?"Before Yoseph could finish his sentence, Josiah had already vanished. Yoseph sighed. If he knew better, he would not have spoken the truth.If it were not for Josiah asking about Meredith's condition every hour, Yoseph would not have reported this matter to him.When Josiah rushed into Meredith's ward, the doctor had just finished redressing her wounds and leaving.The d
"He dares to come over to ask us to get a divorce, why do I need to talk nicely?" Charlie looked at Meredith before sneering at Josiah, "Are you going to say that as long as I would divorce Meredith, you would not hold me responsible anymore?""Charlie, even if you were to go to prison, Meredith could still ask for a divorce.""Then, I'll wait for her to do it," Charlie said calmly.Josiah was speechless by his reply. A moment later, he said coldly, "Charlie, you're so sure that Meredith won't leave you or dare to do so, which is why you hit her over and over again, right?"Then, he looked at Meredith. "Meredith, are you planning to relive all the harm that you received from me with Charlie again? You have grown in two years, yet you were beaten back to your usual self in one day?""Charlie is different," Meredith said calmly. She admitted that she had just changed when she was beaten back to her usual past self once more. However, this time was different. Previously, it was bec
Meredith also turned to look at Charlie.Charlie's face turned blue once more."Charlie…" Meredith said hesitantly.Charlie suddenly sneered, "Josiah, are you asking me to push the blame for the accident to a woman? You sure are smart.""You can continue thinking that I was the one who did it," Josiah said calmly, "but Yena has to stay inside."Before Meredith could say anything, he looked at her and added, "Treat it as if you are helping her. After all, if she is out and about, she will do foolish things sooner or later."Josiah left.Meredith thought back to what he said, she gradually felt as if what he said made sense.Yena was a completely changed person. She had become distorted and vile. Letting her out and about would only let her continue making mistakes. It would be better if she was locked up to receive some guidance."Charlie, Josiah isn't wrong. Yena was the one who got someone to crash into you. Her target was me, but no one expected that you would push me away a
"Is that so? Did he leave so early?""Yes, although he can't come to pick you up, he still cares for you, Ma'am." Wilma suddenly thought of something. She slapped her head and said, "Oh my, look at my forgetful brain. I forgot my coat in the washroom again."Meredith chuckled, "I'll go look for Charlie first. You can come again later.""Yes, Ma'am."Meredith stood in front of the lift with the bouquet in her hands. The lift slowly stopped. She was fiddling with her bouquet while entering the lift.The next moment, she was frightened by the man inside.Him again!Meredith measured Josiah up. She saw that the bandage on his head had been changed into a smaller one. Looking at his clothes, it looked like he was leaving the hospital.She said to him, "Mister Josiah, you had been hurt so terribly, yet you're already leaving?"Josiah looked at the bouquet in her arms. He was a little upset.He was the one who used to give her roses in the past, yet another man had replaced him to g
Although the therapist was often yelled at by Charlie, he still nodded his head furiously in fear."Mister Charlie, don't be mistaken, that isn't what I mean…""If you don't mean that, why do you keep asking me to practice? I have done it for so long, yet I don't even have the strength to get up. So what use is there practicing?""Mister Charlie…""F*ck off!" Charlie picked up his walking stick and threw it at the therapist. The therapist was so frightened he hugged his head and fled.Meredith never entered previously because Charlie did not like her accompanying him in physiotherapy. He did not want her to see him in a wretched state.However, at that moment, Meredith could no longer care about anything else. She rushed inside and hugged Charlie, comforting him, "Charlie, don't be like that. Calm down, alright?"Charlie was stunned when he saw her. Then, he pushed her aside and yelled, "What are you here for? Get out! Get out!""Charlie, how could I leave seeing you like that?
Meredith remembered that the last time she helped Charlie out of the car, he had the same reaction.Charlie had a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He said, "Meredith, I'm fine.""Just let me have a look at your legs." Meredith wanted to check on his legs, but he swerved."I only knocked my legs when I fell just now. It's nothing."He did indeed fall a moment ago, but he fell badly. Meredith did not doubt his words, but she still said determinedly, "Then it must be a bruise. You have to put on some medication."Meredith thought that Charlie did not want the doctor to touch him, so she added, "Why don't I help you to put some medication?""Meredith, I'm not that weak. You don't have to be like that," Charlie emphasized.Sure enough, it worked. Meredith no longer dared to insist. She sighed helplessly, "Are you sure?""Yes. Let's go.""Okay, but you have to let me know if it hurts.""Hmm."Meredith pushed him toward the lift.After sending Charlie back home, Meredith was about
"There are no more opportunities.""How could there be no more opportunities? The thing music needs is talent, not your legs." Meredith gestured at him to cheer him up. "I believe that you could do it."She also believed that if he could get up on stage again, he would get better.However, Charlie had no interest or motivation. He gently shook his head. "Forget about it, I'll just change careers."Meredith did not know how to talk to him anymore. She could only console him to rest well before heading to the study room.At night, Meredith walked over to Charlie, who had just come out of the bathroom. She asked concernedly, "Charlie, do your legs still hurt? Let me have a look.""I looked at it just now. It's fine. Also, it's not painful anymore," Charlie wheeled himself over to the bed."Just let me have a look.""Meredith, help me dry my hair." Charlie passed the hairdryer to her.Meredith could only take it and help him dry his hair. After drying his hair, she wanted to look
Meredith, on the other hand, was never a match for Josiah.Meredith got up from the chair. She held the envelope and headed to the door."Miss Meredith, where are you going?" Goldie followed her."To look for him." Meredith's hand was on the doorknob when she paused and turned around to say to Goldie, "Don't let Charlie know about this first. I'll have to understand the situation.""Okay, Miss Meredith," Goldie reminded her, "but Mister Charlie is just downstairs. How are you planning to tell him?""I'll…think about it."Meredith and Goldie went downstairs together. Charlie was sitting by the window of the living area reading. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and looked at her."Meredith, are you heading out?" Charlie asked.Meredith had already collected her thoughts when she was upstairs. She smiled and walked over to him. "Charlie, I haven't seen Nia for a few days. I want to go and see her.""Isn't she still at school?""Yes, I'll see her during lunch."Ever sin
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
