Chapter 1139
At this point, Josiah paused a little before going on.
"Ivy said she decided to come to look for me because of Cooper's sickness. Because the doctor said Cooper's
autism was not severe and it can be treated."
"And the treatment for this illness calls for a complete family, isn't it?" Meredith said lightly.
Josiah looked into her eyes. "You are a doctor. You know more than I do."
"Most of the kids who suffered mental illness because of their imperfect family. Do you think every kid is happy and

"But you can't possibly ask me to marry Ivy because of Cooper, can you?" Josiah asked.
"That's your business." Meredith said, "If you are ruthless enough to not care about Cooper, then you don't have to
marry her."
"Marrying Ivy is not the only way to treat Cooper. I will look for the best doctor to treat him. But... Edith, like I said. I
only want to marry you and no one else." Josiah gazed upon Meredith's eyes passionately.
Meredith saw the look in his eyes and thought how nice it would be if this was how Josiah was when they first got
married. She would be the happiest woman in this world.
Alas, it was all too late. It was more than just Charlie in between them, now there were Ivy and Cooper too. Sadly,
even Meredith thought Josiah had the responsibility to save Cooper. The little boy she held dearly close in her heart.
What was wrong with her? Was she really that kind that she could disregard and ignore Nia's feelings now?
Naturally, Josiah felt that too. He felt sad and disappointed. He grasped Meredith’s hand tightly. "Edith, if this
happens to other women, they would be screaming and crying. Why are you so calm? Do you really not care who I
marry?"
Meredith was speechless.
"Edith, do you really have no more feelings for me?"
Meredith looked at Josiah for a long but she did not answer his question.
This question was the same when everyone asked her if she loved Charlie or not. Everyone thought she married

her when she said she loved him.
Now Meredith could not blatantly answer Josiah's question anymore when he asked if she still has feelings for him.
Because she herself could not tell if she decided to remarry him out of love or because of Nia.
"Josiah, do you think there's any meaning in asking this now?" Meredith asked peacefully.
"Of course, there is," Josiah said, "if you have feelings for me, then I will have more motivation to fight for our
future. If you don't...
He paused and sighed before continuing to talk, "If you don't, I will also try my best to marry you."
