Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 45

Even her intention for stepping into the mansion once more was extremely pathetic and ridiculous.

She rang the doorbell twice before the intricately carved gate slowly moved. She entered without any hesitation. Looking at Josiah sitting on the sofa regally, then looking at his cold, handsome face, Meredith’s heart suddenly stopped beating for two seconds.

However, she still could not help but rush to him and say, “Mister Josiah, Nia is in a bad condition. She needs to have an injection at seven sharp every day, if not her life would be in danger. I beg you, please return her to me. Let me take her to the hospital.”

Josiah looked at her. His long slender fingers twirled around the teacup.

Meredith was extremely anxious, yet he slowly said, “This is the first time you return home in three years, all just because you want that bastard from me?”

“She is not a bastard!” Meredith was flustered.

“She came out from the affair you had with Yoel in the bedroom upstairs. Isn’t that just a bastard?”

“No. Nia is just a three-year-old. Josiah, you can’t call her that.” “If not? What should I call her? My precious daughter?” Josiah sneered and asked.

Meredith looked at his cold handsome face. She thought back to the scene three years ago where no matter how she explained to him, he did not believe her.

In the end, she bit her lips and said, “Josiah, Nia is only a child I adopted from the orphanage. She is not your daughter or mine.” “You adopted?” Josiah raised his eyebrows.

“Yes, I was grieving from losing my child back then. My mother adopted a child back for me to take care of. Nia is that child.”

The reason she gave was quite good, but Josiah laughed, “Meredith Leighton. That bastard of a child looks exactly like you. How dare you lie to me straight in my face and tell me that you adopted her?” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Meredith was at a loss for words. She panicked once again. She never thought that Josiah would observe so closely that he saw how Nia looked up close. “Three years ago, you lied to me and said that the child was mine. Three years later, you’re lying again, saying that you adopted the child from the orphanage. It looks like you and Yoel, the adulterer, are on quite good terms.”

Josiah stood up from the sofa and walked toward Meredith. He turned to the side, raised his hand, and lifted her chin.”No wonder you would stab me with a knife for him back then.”

Meredith shook her head. “I’m not lying to you. I adopted Nia from the orphanage.” “Are you sure?” There was barely any distance between them. Josiah’s hot breath landed on

giving ber a sense of danger. ma slie. ” she pretended to be firm. okay.I get Alfred to do a DNA test with you and that bastard. If I find out that she’s your child, Pll strangle her to death…” Josiah forced every word out. Meredith was frightened half to death that her heart almost popped out. She looked at Josiah with widened eyes. “Y-You…Josiah, what are you talking about?” “What? Are you afraid?” Josiah gritted his teeth. “So, you admit it? She is the bastard of a child you had with that adulterer?”.

“No...”

“You dare tell me it’s not?” Josiah flung Meredith’s chin brutally. Meredith fell to the ground.

Worrying that he would do something to Nia, Meredith immediately crawled to Josiah, hugged his legs, and pleaded, “Joe, Nia is your daughter. You must believe me! She truly is your daughter! She’s ill. Terribly ill. I beg you to send her back to the hospital. I beg you!” Josiah was so furious he shook his head. He wanted to kick Meredith out of the door.

Josiah brought Nia back to the mansion but did nothing to her? Meredith found it hard to believe

“Hmm, I found nothing at the moment.” Alayna pointed at Alfred on the other end of the corridor and said, “By the way, he was the one who sent Nia to the hospital.” It was then only Meredith noticed Alfred. A hint of surprise flashed across her face. She said,” Alfred, long time no see.”

Alfred was the Shelbys’ butler. Ever since Yena was injured, Josiah provided for Leah and transferred Alfred to his mansion. Alfred was not well acquainted with Meredith. He did not know her too well, so he did not know whether the terrible things she did in the past were true or fake. His stance was neutral at that moment. He said, “‘That child passed out in the mansion just now, so I sent her to the hospital.” “Thank you, Alfred,” Meredith said thankfully. “You don’t have to thank me. I only ask that you treat Mister Josiah better,” Alfred said to her and waved his hands.

“Alfred, those charges against me back then were all fake. I have never done anything wrong to Joe.”

“Explain that to him. You don’t have to tell me this.”

“I’ve tried explaining many times, but he refuses to believe me.” Meredith smiled bitterly.” Forget about it. I’ll stop talking. Thank you, Alfred.”

Alfred swept a glance at the treatment room door and asked, “By the way, what illness does that child have? It looks serious.”

“Aplastic anemia and some other complications,” Meredith said.

“Is this hard to treat?”

“Very. She requires a bone marrow transplant and a lot of money.” It was a pity Josiah refused to believe that Nia is her daughter. If not, with his financial abilities, he would be able to spend an endless amount of money on Nia.

No! No!

Meredith suddenly thought back about what Josiah said to her back then. That even if it was his child, he would not allow the child to be born, because she was not worthy to have his child. What was he hoping for? Hoping that he would suddenly find the heart in him to treat Nia because she was his biological daughter? Alfred asked about Nia for a little while more before leaving the hospital and heading back to
