Chapter 41 Josiah quickly took his phone out. He scrolled to the bottom of his photo album on his phone
and showed Nia a picture. “This Meredith?”
Nia saw how Josiah had a photo of her mommy on his phone. She immediately laughed in delight, “And
you say that you’re not my daddy? Not only do you remember who mommy is, you still have a photo of
her on your phone.” Josiah’s expressions turned even uglier. : Was this child really that woman’s
daughter? The family that she meant was this child? Hmph! “Daddy, are you angry?” Nia asked
confusedly. Josiah nodded. “Yes, I’m angry.” “Why are you angry, daddy?”. “If you call me daddy one
more time, I’ll break your neck.” Nia was frightened half to death as she scrunched her neck. She looked
at Josiah with fear in her eyes.

The elevator has reached the ground floor. Josiah lifted Nia up with one hand and strode out of the
elevator.
Although it was a joyous thing to be carried by her daddy, Nia still asked in confusion, “Daddy, where are
you taking me to? I need to have an injection.”
“I’ll say it one more time. I am not your daddy.”
Nia shut up once more. She thought about how weird her daddy was. He was clearly her daddy, yet he
kept denying it.
Alayna could not get through to Meredith’s phone, so she called the nurses instead to ask if Meredith
had reached the hospital. Upon hearing Alayna’s voice, the impatient nurse answered perfunctorily,
“She’s already here. Stop calling us. We’re busy.” “I’m sorry. I just can’t get Meredith, that’s why I…”
Before Alayna could finish her sentence, the other person hung up the phone. Alayna sighed helplessly.
She placed her phone down and started tidying the house. Alayna’s health was already in a bad
condition. Accompanying her granddaughter for the past few days made it worse. She had to leave the
hospital early and head home to sleep so she could get well and provide for Nia.
Bearing through the pain, she washed Nia’s clothes and finished the other house chores before going to
bed.
Chapter 41
The next morning, as usual, she got up early to cook some porridge. When she brought the porridge to
the hospital, she found out that the bed was empty. Nia was not there. Neither was Meredith. Meredith’s

were not there, she answered sheepishly, “Are they not here? Maybe they went for a walk.” Alayna
immediately understood what happened when she saw the nurse’s expression. She immediately asked,
“Did my daughter come to the hospital yesterday? You lied to me, right?” Meredith would never turn her
phone off. Even if her phone ran out of battery, she would charge it soon. The nurse did not like Alayna’s
questioning tone. She replied curtly, “I’m not your personal caretaker. How could I help you only look
after them all day long?”
“So did you see her or not!” Alayna was flustered.
“I did, but I can’t say whether I mistook her for someone else or not.”
“Won’t the nurses make their rounds at night? Don’t you check the rooms?” Alayna was so anxious she
was losing it. What was happening? Did Nia go missing? Did something happen to Meredith too?
