Chapter 128

Nia was only three years old but she was already so thoughtful.

Kids her age were supposedly pampered and being showered with all the nice things in life
but she was forced to grow up fast because of what life had thrown at her.

As her mother, of course, Meredith was heartbroken. Seeing Meredith who was crying, Aunt Wren tried
to comfort her, “Miss Meredith, you should be glad that Nia is so thoughtful, why are you crying
instead?” “You’re crying, Mommy?” Nia let go of Meredith, and wiped away the tears on Meredith’s
cheeks with her fingers. “Mommy, why are you crying? Didn’t you say that you’re happy to see me?”
“Mm, I am.” Meredith nodded. “I’m only crying because I’m too happy.”

“Really?” “Yes, darling.” Looking at Nia, Meredith added, “I can see that you’re looking better than
before and I know that you’ve been receiving your treatment well. That is why I’m happy.” Nia chuckled
happily.

“Nia, the weather is good today. Shall we take a walk outdoors?”

“Yes please!” Nia cheered.

Meredith and Nia took a walk in the garden on the first floor of the hospital building.

Meredith even bought cotton candy to cheer Nia up.

“Mommy, can I really have this?” Nia asked, surprised.

“Yes, darling. I’ve checked with your doctor and you’re allowed to have sweets.” Meredith put the cotton
candy in Nia’s hand and said, “Here, try it.” Taking a bite of the cotton candy, Nia exclaimed, “It’s so
good! Have a bite too, Mommy.”



She put the cotton candy near Meredith’s mouth.

Meredith shook her head. “It’s alright. You can have it all for yourself.”

“No.You told me that we should always share nice things with others.”

“You’re right.” Meredith then took a bite.

“Is it good, Mommy?”

“It’s good, sweetheart.”

“Told you so hehe.” Nia beamed.

Looking at her wide grin, Meredith stroked the top of Nia’s head. “Mm, you’re right, darling.”

Josiah who was on the third floor of the building was watching the interaction between the mother and
the daughter. He was able to tell that they were having a good time.

Even when wearing a face mask, Josiah could tell that Meredith was wearing that wide grin of hers.

Looking at her eyes that were full of smiles, Josiah suddenly realized that it had
been some time since he last saw her smiling this happily.

Four years had passed since the incident with Yoel had taken place.

Even after running into each other after three years, Josiah had only seen her eyes filled
with tears or resentment. He had never seen her smile this way.

But of course, he did not give her any reason or chance to even smile.



Josiah knew better than anyone. Ysabelle, who was receiving an IV drip on the bed, noticed that Josiah
had his eyes fixed on the garden. Stretching her neck, she tried to take a glimpse of what Josiah was
looking at, only to find that it was Meredith and Nia who were sharing a cloud of cotton candy while
laughing away happily. Stealing a glance at Josiah, Ysabelle noticed that Josiah looked conflicted. It
was clear that Josiah was affected by the sight of them. Inwardly, Ysabelle was seething. She was
confident that Meredith had done this on purpose.

Meredith must have known that Josiah had sent her to the hospital and that was why she too had
shown up here to put on a show for Josiah.

Ysabelle thought that Meredith was too calculative and deceiving.

If it were not for the paternity test results, Josiah could very well have been back into Meredith’s arms.
