Chapter 245 “Of course not,” Ysabelle responded, “why are you even asking? We must, of course, make sure the
adult is safe!” The doctor looked at Ysabelle, puzzled. He was trying to figure out who Ysabelle was. Ysabelle quickly
explained, “I’m her sister.” Meredith’s anxious cries were heard from the ER, “Doctor, I don’t have a husband or
sister. They’re not my family. I am the one who should be deciding whether I want to save the child or not!’ “Please
listen to me, I need to save the child,” Meredith cried. The doctor looked puzzledly at Josiah, “Are you not her
husband?” Ysabelle replied in Josiah’s stead, “He is the father to the child.” “So…do you want to save the child or
not?” Ysabelle replied, “No. Meredith’s life is more important.”

Meredith came running out of the ER, dropped to her knees in front of Josiah’s feet, and cried, “Josiah, please don’t
kill my baby, no, he’s also your baby, you can’t kill him…” Josiah looked down at her and asked flatly, “The doctor
said your life might be in danger. You don’t want to live anymore?” “I’m not afraid to die,” Meredith shook her head
frantically and added, “I won’t be able to live anyway if my baby is gone. I’m willing to risk my life for my child.
Please, let me do so…” With the baby gone, Nia would soon be gone too. What was the use then to stay alive all
alone?
The doctor too did not know what to do.
He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “It’s not that serious, really. It’s just that if you
insist on keeping the child, you’d need a longer time to recover.”
“If it was nothing serious, then why did you insist on these people making decisions for me when they’re not even
related to me?” Meredith was furious. The doctor replied helplessly, “This is the hospital’s policy and we’d need a
family member to sign the documents.” “I said I don’t have any family members!” Meredith was already weak from
the assault and she was feeling weaker after getting so worked up.
She then passed out at Josiah’s feet.
There was a flicker in Josiah’s expression. Bending over, Josiah lifted Meredith into his arms and walked toward the
ER. “We’ll go with her decision.”
Ysabelle felt a sense of urgency and anxiousness when Josiah agreed to keep the baby,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatching up to Josiah, Ysabelle grabbed his arm and said, “Josiah, weren’t you trying to get rid of her baby back
then? Why are you letting go of such a good opportunity?” Josiah glanced at her. “Why are you so desperate for her
to get rid of the baby?” “L…” Ysabelle was suddenly wordless, She then quickly put on an innocent expression on
her face and said, “Because I know you wanted to get rid of the baby too, didn’t you? I only wanted to help you.”
She then added, “For the sake of marrying into the Shelby family, Meredith Leighton had the nerve to drug you so
that she could get pregnant with your child. If we keep this child, your grandma would definitely force you to marry
her. And I know you don’t want that to happen, So why are you letting such a good chance slip away?”
Josiah did not say anything.
Ysabelle could not figure out what he was thinking. “Josiah, why not…I’ll ask the doctor to get rid of the baby and
then Meredith no longer has a bargaining chip to force you to marry her.”
