Chapter 119

Long gone was the excitement and happiness, and all that was left was disappointment
and devastation. “Didn’t you hear him? That man that you call your daddy doesn’t want you at his
house, so no, we are not going anymore.”

“But…”

“No buts! I’ll sew up that mouth of yours if you don’t stop whining!”

Ysabelle growled furiously at Nia. Ysabelle was confident that her plan would work perfectly this time
and that Nia was going to die. But she did not expect that Josiah would show up out of the blue. If
anything happened to Nia right after Josiah saw her with Nia, Josiah would no doubt find her
suspicious. Hence, Ysabelle could only temporarily give up on her evil plan. Entering the meeting room,
a team of doctors was discussing Yena’s treatment plan and progress. It was only after several
moments that they realized that Josiah was actually absentminded. Puzzled as to what was going on,
the doctors exchanged a confused look with each other. After all, Josiah had never once missed a
meeting on Yena’s treatment plan, let alone him behaving this absentmindedly.

Doctor Zach called out to him carefully, “Sir, is everything okay? Are you feeling unwell? If so… we can
postpone the meeting.” It was only then Josiah came back to his senses. “It’s nothing, let’s continue.”
The doctors looked at each other confusedly before returning to their discussion.

But after a few moments, Josiah heard the child’s voice ringing by his ear again, ‘Daddy, please don’t
leave me alone…!

Shaking his head, Josiah tried to get rid of the voice. He did not understand why he was acting this
way. He clearly hated that child but Nia’s voice kept lingering in his ears and he could not seem to get
rid of it.



In the end, Josiah got up onto his feet, interrupted the meeting, and said, “Carry on the meeting without
me and send me a report on what you’ve discussed.” Doctor Zach already realized that Josiah was not
acting strange today. Nodding his head, he replied, “Sure thing, Mister Josiah. You should get some
rest and I’ll send you the report once the meeting is over.”

She was crying, “Aunt Wren, Daddy, and Mommy are clearly staying together so why don’t they want
me? Is it because Daddy hates me so Mommy hates me now too…?”.

“It’s not like that sweetheart, there now, stop crying. Your mommy is simply busy with work and she
doesn’t have the time to come to see you.”

“But…”

The doors of the lift closed, blocking off her voice.

It was the same voice again. Josiah who was simmering in anger kicked the walls of the lift.

As soon as she returned to Shelby’s residence, Ysabelle saw Meredith who was preparing dinner in the
kitchen, and was reminded of how her plan had failed today.

Biting down on her lips, she walked over to Meredith and said, “I was with Josiah at the hospital earlier,
and we saw that illegitimate child of yours.”

Meredith froze. She turned around, stared at Ysabelle, and retorted, “You should know better if Nia is
an illegitimate child or not.”
