Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 44

Josiah sat with his legs crossed, lazily leaning back on the sofa. Across him sat Nia. Facing a table full of food, she did not plan on eating them at all. She merely asked weakly, “Daddy, when will mommy come to pick me up for my injection?” Josiah looked at her and sneered, “Don’t worry, she’ll come.” Alfred, the butler, sized Nia up and said, “Sir, this child looks like she’s suffering. Does she have any serious illness?” “I picked her up from the hospital. She more likely than not has a serious illness.” Josiah elegantly took a sip of tea before pointing at the food on the table and saying to Nia, “Little bastard, don’t you like the food? Why are you not eating?” He has no pity for the bastard child of Meredith’s. He even wished for her death.

“Daddy, I cannot have biscuits. I can’t have any drinks either.” Nia sat on the sofa, her body started to sway.

Usually, by then, she would have been on a drip. That day, because she was not on one, she was starting to feel faint.

Alfred looked at Nia’s pale face and the sweat on her forehead. He could not help but ask,” Miss, what illness do you have? It looks serious.”

Nia shook her head. “I don’t know. Mommy says that I’ll get better.”

Alfred no longer pressed on. Nia looked at Josiah once more and said, “Daddy, I’m feeling terrible, can you send me to the hospital?”

Even if her daddy has been hostile toward her, Nia still liked him very much. Her words to him were filled with emotions and love.

Josiah was annoyed by Nia calling her daddy. The scene where Yoel was pressing himself on top of Meredith kept appearing in his mind. He angrily threw his cup by Nia’s feet. “I’ve said many times. I’m not your daddy. You’re just a bastard!”

Nia was frightened by Josiah’s sudden anger. Her eyes widened. She gaped her mouth open a little, then…she fell to the ground head first.

“Are you alright!?” Alfred immediately rushed over to catch Nia, preventing her from falling to the ground full of glass shards. Looking at Nia in his arms, Alfred said anxiously, “Sir, this child has passed out. She has a severe fever!”

Josiah looked at Nia’s face which resembled Meredith’s. His lips twitched. “I don’t wish for her to live in this world.”

“Sir, this is someone’s life!” “Any child of Meredith’s doesn’t deserve to live.”

“Sir, I’m taking her to the hospital.” Alfred picked Nia up and quickly headed out. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Josiah did not stop him. This was perhaps the most mercy he could show. Not long after Alfred left the mansion, a taxi stopped by the gate of the mansion. Meredith anxiously rang the doorbell. While waiting for the gates to open, she looked at the huge mansion in front of her with tears in her eyes. This was the place where she stayed with Josiah after their marriage. They stayed there for more than a year.

There was much laughter and even the happiest times of her life were spent there. After all, to her, it was a blessing to be able to live with the person that she loved. The mansion had not changed, yet everything else had already changed a long time ago.
