Chapter 561
The doctor was looking at her and sighed softly, “I hope that you won’t say anything that would trigger Sir later. It
will affect his recovery.”
“I understand. I only have a few questions to ask him.”
She understood that if Josiah’s recovery was affected, she would not be able to see Nia then, and she would not
want that to happen.
Josiah had just regained consciousness and was still weak and frail. He looked utterly pale.
His perfectly sculptured face looked lifeless.
But at the sight of Meredith, he asked, “You want to see Nia?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes.” Meredith ran toward his bed and demanded, “Where is Nia, Josiah Shelby? Tell me right now!”
“Even if I did tell you, would you have the means to help her get better? Do you have the money to pay for her
treatment? Will you be able to get her the world’s best doctor?” Josiah asked as he stared right into her eyes.
Meredith was rendered speechless.
He was right. There was nothing that she could do nor neither did she have the money.
But she still wanted to have Nia in her arms, she still wanted to see her.
“Meredith Leighton, this time it is you who almost got Nia killed,” Josiah scoffed. “Josiah Shelby, if you had told me
earlier that Nia is still alive, I wouldn’t have poisoned you.”
“So? Does this mean that I’ll be safe for now?”
“Josiah Shelby, I’m not here to bullsh*t with you.” With tears rolling down her cheeks, Meredith shook her head and
cried, “I just want to know how Nia is, where she is receiving her treatment, and whether she’ll get better.
“Josiah Shelby, just give her back to me, would you? If you’re willing to give her back to me, the feud between us
ends right there and then. I will never try to hurt or harm you ever again.”
“Meredith Leighton, I have never intended to wipe your slate clean. It doesn’t matter how many times you try to get
rid of me, I will never let you go. Because I don’t want Nia to wake up to find out that she had lost her mother.”
“If you still have some conscience left in you, then give Nia back to me!”
“Didn’t you always say that I am ruthless and cruel? Why do you expect me to have any conscience?”
“As long as you’re well-behaved, I will bring you to see Nia.” Josiah then closed his eyes. “But I am feeling a bit tired
now, I need to rest.”
“No, Josiah, you can’t. You still haven’t told me where Nia is or if she will get better,” Meredith grabbed Josiah’s wrist

“Tell me! Tell me now!” Meredith would not have a day of peace if she did not hear anything about Nia.
“Hurry up and tell me! I’ve waited for so long for you to wake up.”
“You only waited because you wanted to know about Nia’s whereabouts?” Josiah asked, knowing well of the answer.
“I’m really sorry for what I did. I shouldn’t have poisoned you. I promise that I will not do it again, I promise! So
please tell me!” Staring at Meredith’s face which was covered in tears, Josiah finally said, “Nia is my daughter. I
believe that she has the will in her to fight through this, just like me. I believe in her, and so should you.”
Josiah was not answering her question. Meredith started to guess that perhaps no one could be sure if Nia would
recover. “You want to see Nia, right?” Josiah added, “Be good and I’ll consider bringing you along the next time.”
Staring at him, Meredith was gritting her teeth tightly. Walking out of Josiah’s ward, Meredith fell back onto the
bench.
Yoseph guessed right away what had happened the moment he saw the look on Meredith’s face. Feeling helpless,
he sighed, “Ma’am, do you understand now why Sir is keeping the fact that Nia is still alive a secret? Because you’d
only get your hopes up and get worried at the same time, just like Sir does. And what’s the point in all of this?”
