He only confirmed that the lady was indeed Meredith the moment he noticed the hands that were
dancing around the piano keys were covered in scars. Squinting his eyes to take a careful look at the
child next to her, Josiah realized that she was Nia.
The mother and daughter’s hands were moving across the black and white keys in harmony. They
would even exchange glances with each other. It was a scene that warmed the hearts of many in the
crowd. Hitting his arms excitedly, Josiah’s grandmother exclaimed, “Did you hear that? That song
sounds absolutely lovely. The little angel sure is gifted.” Josiah replied, “Yeah.” “Sigh, if only had a
great-granddaughter as talented as her.” She then started shaking Josiah’s arms. “Josiah, hurry up and
give me a great-grandchild, hmm? Please, I’m begging you.” His grandmother’s words only made him
feel even more suffocated.
It was obvious that the child had inherited Meredith’s gift in music. It was a pity that the child…was not
his.
novelbinHe was suddenly reminded of the paternity test results.
“Grandma, let’s go now.” Josiah turned around, wanting to leave.
Josiah’s grandmother immediately stopped him from leaving. “What’s wrong? Why are you leaving
when it’s such a good performance?” “We’re not even related to the kid. What’s there to see about it?”
Josiah sounded annoyed. “Even if the child is not ours, she is indeed gifted. If you know nothing, then
leave. I’ll stay and watch.”
“Okay, I’ll really be leaving then.”“Leave and get as far as you can away from me.” Josiah’s grandmother waved her hands at Josiah
without even looking at him.
Josiah was not worried about his grandmother as she had the driver and other assistants that would
keep an eye on her. However, right when he turned around and was about to leave, he heard his
grandmother say, “That lady looks a lot like
Meredith, doesn’t she? Josiah, come back here, quick. Don’t you think she looks like Meredith?”
Josiah looked toward Meredith who was on stage. Her side profile was facing the crowd and only her
eyes were visible. But those pretty eyes of hers were quite rare.
It was no wonder his grandmother recognized her. Staring at Meredith, Josiah replied, “Grandma,
Meredith’s been dead for almost four years now. How would that lady be Meredith?” “You’re right,”
Josiah’s grandmother nodded as a look of disappointment was written all over her face. “I really
thought that she might be Meredith. How I hope that she is still alive, then the little angel would be my
great-granddaughter!” “Grandma, are you going or not?” Josiah could not hold back himself and his
tone sounded slightly annoyed. “What’s with that attitude of yours.” Josiah’s grandmother kicked Josiah
in his shin and addeti, “How dare you give me an attitude when I didn’t even scold you for losing
Meredith!”
“Every time that I mention Meredith and you’d get unhappy. Let me tell you, Josiah Shelby, I am more
upset than you are!” Josiah’s grandmother yelled furiously. Right then, Meredith and Nia’s performance
came to an end. Both of them exchanged a look at each other and held their hands together before
getting up from the chair. Josiah put his arms around his grandmother’s shoulders and quickly turned
his grandmother to face him. Walking her out from the crowd, he softened his voice and begged for
forgiveness. “I’m sorry Grandma, it’s my bad. Please don’t be mad anymore.”
“I still want to continue watching the performance. Don’t push me!”“The performance had already ended. It’s time for us to go home now.” Josiah forcefully brought his
grandmother to the mall’s entrance. After seeing her getting into the car, he then said to the driver,
“Send grandma back home first. Drive safely.”
