Chapter 218
Josiah recognized the rose. It was taken out from his mansion by Meredith. He never thought that she would manage to save the rose, and even gave it to her daughter. Josiah looked at the rose with a complicated gaze. Ysabelle pretended as if she had just seen him. She greeted him, “Josiah, have you visited Yena?” Josiah calmly responded. He turned around and was just about to leave when he was brutally shoved by someone.
It was Meredith.
“Nia, Nia, are you fine?” Meredith did not even look at the people around her. She immediately ran over and hugged Nia into her arms. She gently patted Nia on her shoulders, comforting her, “Nia, don’t listen to her. Don’t believe her. Your condition is not that serious. You’ll get better.” Nia’s cries could be heard from upstairs. Meredith looked out of the window and saw that not only did Ysabelle break Nia’s pot, but she also heard what Ysabelle said to Nia.
To prevent Ysabelle from saying any harsher words, she quickly ran downstairs. “Mommy, my rose is dead. Does that mean I’m dying too?”
“No, you won’t. The rose won’t die. You won’t die either.” Meredith let go of Nia. She turned around and swept Josiah and Ysabelle a gaze. “Aren’t you two afraid of retribution from bullying a three-year-old? Josiah, even if she isn’t your daughter , you can’t treat her that way!” Meredith rushed forward. She beat and kicked Josiah while yelling, “Whatever resentment you have, you can take it out on me! Why are you hurting an innocent child? Why!” Josiah looked at the crowd that gathered to see what was happening. He grabbed Meredith’s hands and said angrily, “Meredith, are you nuts! Enough!”
“Am I nuts?” Meredith glared at him and retorted. “Josiah, I should be the one asking you. Have you had enough! I have no relationship with you anymore. Why are you still harassing me? Why are you hurting my daughter when you have already killed my mother?” Josiah looked at Meredith’s teary face. He said stiffly and coldly, “What did I do to
your daughter?”
