Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 129

Biting down on her lips, Ysabelle cleared her throat and asked, “Eh, is that Meredith? Doesn’t she have a lot of chores to do? It’s strange that she actually has the time to come all the way here just to put on a show.” “Put on a show?” With his gaze still fixed on Meredith and Nia, Josiah asked. “Yeah, it’s been a while since she was last here to visit Nia, and Nia is not allowed to leave her ward.” Ysabelle went on, “Perhaps she somehow got to know that you’re here with me at the hospital so she decided to come along. And she even made Nia leave her room just to put on a show for you.” Ysabelle sighed, “She really tried her best, didn’t she?”

Seeing how Josiah was not responding, Ysabelle took it further. “Josiah, why not go down and meet Nia? After all, the child is innocent and I’m sure that she would be happy to see you.”

“Wait…if Meredith is here, who is taking care of Yena? What if something happens to her? Meredith would definitely blame it on me again, wouldn’t she? Josiah…”

“Are you done?” Josiah interrupted her. Ysabelle did not know what was going through Josiah’s mind and she did not know if her words had managed to provoke him.

But for the sake of not wanting to trigger Josiah, Ysabelle kept her mouth shut.

“I’m sorry Josiah. I am simply worried about Yena.” “Get some rest. I’m heading back to the office.” Turning around, Josiah walked out of Ysabelle’s room. After Nia had finished the cotton candy, Meredith decided to bring her back to her room. Nia asked unwillingly, “Mommy, are you going back to work soon?” “Yes, darling. I have to return to work now.” Nodding, Meredith comforted her gently. “But don’t worry, I’ll have some free time soon and I promise to come visit you.” “Really, Mommy?”

“Of course, sweetheart.”

“Alright then.” Nia nodded.

After fixing Nia’s cardigan, Meredith then pushed Nia and headed back into the building.

As soon as she stepped foot into the lobby, Meredith noticed Josiah who was walking out of the lift.

Startled, Meredith thought of turning the other way to avoid running into him when Nia called out, “Daddy!”

Meredith was wordless. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

There was no escaping now.

Looking at Josiah’s overcast and gloomy face, Meredith quickly explained herself, “Sir, I…I

went to get the phone repaired and thought of visiting Nia. I’m heading back now after sending Nia back to her room.” Taking a glance at Nia who was in the wheelchair, Josiah asked, “Are you done with all the acting?”

Meredith was rendered speechless.

Acting? Was he referring to her asking Nia to address him as her father? There were better hospitals nearby Shelby’s residence but why did he insist on having Ysabelle to be treated in this hospital?

If she knew that he was going to be visiting this hospital often, she would not have allowed Nia to roam around the hospital freely so that Nia would not run into him in the first place.

“Daddy, are you here to see me?” Nia asked, smiling.

Coming back to her senses, Meredith placed her hand over Nia’s mouth. “Nia, don’t call him that.”

“But why?” Nia asked, puzzled. “Because…” Meredith took a quick glimpse at Josiah and went on, “because I’ve told you many times that he is not your father.”

“But…” “Nia!” Meredith pointed at the tag that was hanging around Nia’s neck.
