“Of course not,” Ysabelle responded, “why are you even asking? We must, of course, make sure the
adult is safe!” The doctor looked at Ysabelle, puzzled. He was trying to figure out who Ysabelle was.
Ysabelle quickly explained, “I’m her sister.” Meredith’s anxious cries were heard from the ER, “Doctor, I
don’t have a husband or sister. They’re not my family. I am the one who should be deciding whether I
want to save the child or not!’ “Please listen to me, I need to save the child,” Meredith cried. The doctor
looked puzzledly at Josiah, “Are you not her husband?” Ysabelle replied in Josiah’s stead, “He is the
father to the child.” “So…do you want to save the child or not?” Ysabelle replied, “No. Meredith’s life is
more important.”
The doctor shot a glare at Ysabelle then continued staring at Josiah, waiting for his response.
Meredith came running out of the ER, dropped to her knees in front of Josiah’s feet, and cried, “Josiah,
please don’t kill my baby, no, he’s also your baby, you can’t kill him…” Josiah looked down at her and
asked flatly, “The doctor said your life might be in danger. You don’t want to live anymore?” “I’m not
afraid to die,” Meredith shook her head frantically and added, “I won’t be able to live anyway if my baby
is gone. I’m willing to risk my life for my child. Please, let me do so…” With the baby gone, Nia would
soon be gone too. What was the use then to stay alive all alone?
The doctor too did not know what to do.
He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “It’s not that serious, really. It’s just that if youm insist on
keeping the child, you’d need a longer time to recover.”
“If it was nothing serious, then why did you insist on these people making decisions for me when
they’re not even related to me?” Meredith was furious. The doctor replied helplessly, “This is the
hospital’s policy and we’d need a family member to sign the documents.” “I said I don’t have any familymembers!” Meredith was already weak from the assault and she was feeling weaker after getting so
worked up.
She then passed out at Josiah’s feet.
There was a flicker in Josiah’s expression. Bending over, Josiah lifted Meredith into his arms and
walked toward the ER. “We’ll go with her decision.”
Ysabelle felt a sense of urgency and anxiousness when Josiah agreed to keep the baby,
Catching up to Josiah, Ysabelle grabbed his arm and said, “Josiah, weren’t you trying to get rid of her
baby back then? Why are you letting go of such a good opportunity?” Josiah glanced at her. “Why are
you so desperate for her to get rid of the baby?” “L…” Ysabelle was suddenly wordless, She then
quickly put on an innocent expression on her face and said, “Because I know you wanted to get rid of
the baby too, didn’t you? I only wanted to help you.”
She then added, “For the sake of marrying into the Shelby family, Meredith Leighton had the nerve to
drug you so that she could get pregnant with your child. If we keep this child, your grandma would
definitely force you to marry her. And I know you don’t want that to happen, So why are you letting such
a good chance slip away?”
Josiah did not say anything.
novelbinYsabelle could not figure out what he was thinking. “Josiah, why not…I’ll ask the doctor to get rid of the
baby and then Meredith no longer has a bargaining chip to force you to marry her.”
