Ivy's response showed that she still loved Josiah a lot.

Meredith felt something uncomfortable welling up in her chest.

Noticing that Ivy's eyes were slowly red-rimmed, she asked, "So Cooper is just a tool for you to get married to

Josiah, yes? You don't really love him at all."

Ivy replied, "Meredith, you must have experienced how it feels to lose your child, haven't you?"

"I did. When I lost Nia, I could feel my world come crashing down on me, and I was mentally unstable and even lost

my memories..."

"It sounds painful and one needs to be mentally strong to be able to get through the pain. But congratulations for

getting out of the suffering," Ivy mumbled under her breath, "I too hope that I'd be able to do that too..."

Seeing how Ivy was in pain, Meredith sympathized with her. "I'm sure Cooper will get better soon.

"Miss Ivy, if you don't mind, you can bring Cooper here often so that he can play with Nia. Nia has always been a

bubbly and lively child. I believe that with Nia's company, Cooper will be able to get well soon."

Ivy, on the other hand, looked triggered.

She who had been keeping a calm front finally flew into a rage. " Meredith Leighton, this is your aim, isn't it? First

taking away Josiah and now my son. Then the four of you would live together happily as a family while I lose

everything and spend the rest of my life alone, that's what you want, is it not?"

"I don't mean it that way, Miss Ivy. All I want is to help Cooper."

"You don't mean it that way?" Ivy scoffed coldly, "I already said it earlier. If you do care about Cooper, then please

stay away from Josiah so that we can be a family again. Being together as a family is a much more effective

treatment compared to any other medication and treatment plan for Cooper."

Meredith stood silent at that.

"If you can't, then please stop acting like you care and stop trying to take my son away from me." Ivy suddenly

started tearing up. " Because I can't afford to lose Cooper..."

Seeing how Ivy was all worked up, Meredith took a deep breath and said, "Forget what I said if you don't want to do

it."

There was movement at the door and the both of them turned around to see Cooper standing by the door, looking

at them.

Meredith and Ivy immediately stood up from the couch.



Ivy was a step of Meredith, going over to Cooper. Holding Cooper's hands in hers, she asked, "How are you feeling

my dear? I'm here to take you home, shall we go home now?"

Staring at Ivy, Cooper gently pulled his hands away from Ivy.

After a moment, he uttered slowly, "Daddy...Mommy..."

This was the second time that he was saying the words - daddy and mommy.

For some reason, Meredith felt conflicted again.

Wiping away the tears on her face, Ivy said, "Cooper, I know that you want me and Daddy to be together, but

Daddy...he can't be with us for now. But I promise that I'll make your wish come true, I promise..."

"Miss Ivy, how could you make such a promise to a child?" Josiah showed up suddenly and immediately cut off Ivy.

Ivy was stunned. Looking at Josiah, she asked, "Joe, Cooper is only sick because you haven't been around. Are you

really not going to care about him anymore?"

"If it wasn't because of your selfish act, the child wouldn't even exist!"

"You-!" Ivy was wordless with rage.

Cooper turned around and rushed down the stairs.

"Cooper!" Ivy immediately followed her son.

Irked, Meredith stared at Josiah and seethed, "How could you say such a thing in front of Cooper? Go after the child

right now!"

If it was not because she was worried that Ivy would think that she was trying to snatch Cooper from her, Meredith

would have gone after Cooper herself.

Josiah too was frustrated that Cooper was a child who had the tendency to run away from home.

But under Meredith's urge, he had no choice but to go after Cooper.
