Chapter 259
“Grandma, I’m still alive. I’ve been alive all this while.”
It took a while before Josiah’s grandmother came back to her senses. She murmured, “This is unbelievable. Everyone said that you were dead, but here you are, in front of me, well and alive. What exactly happened?” “And you mentioned Nia, is she really Josiah’s daughter?”
“Yes. I swear on my life.”
“And Josiah…” “He doesn’t believe me. He is convinced that I cheated on him with Yoel and he thinks that Nia belongs to Yoel. That was why he locked me up in a psychiatric ward that year. Later, because of the fire, I had an early birth and it was my mom who saved the child and that is why Nia is still alive.”
Tears would well up in her eyes every single time she talks about her past.
But she had no time to cry. She had to clear her name and come up with a way to save Nia.
“But unfortunately, Nia was diagnosed with a terrible illness and she needs a bone marrow transplant surgery. And this is why I got close to Josiah to get pregnant with his child,” Looking at Josiah’s grandmother, she added, “but the doctor said that Nia only has less than eight months to live, and that is why I…” “What…” Josiah’s grandmother was shocked.
Holding Josiah’s grandmother’s hands in hers, Meredith pleaded, “Grandma, please save Nia. She is really Josiah’s daughter. Look at her eyes, and her nose, doesn’t she look a lot like Josiah?”
Meredith swiped the photos and said, “If you don’t believe me, we can run a test on Nia. But we have to do it without the Leightons knowing, in case they try to get in our way.” After letting everything out, tears finally ran down her cheeks. Meredith thought that she could finally see a ray of hope. She knew that her decision to talk to Josiah’s grandmother would work.
“Grandma,” Meredith cried, “I am Meredith Leighton. You know me the best, don’t you? How would I possibly cheat on Josiah with a servant?”
