Chapter 182Chapter 182
If he did not know about the results of the paternity test, he would have gotten down from the car and
followed them, to complete the scenic picture.
But…
Scratching the tip of his nose awkwardly, Walter asked, “Sir, should we keep following?”
“Forget it.” Josiah finally broke off his gaze that was fixed on Meredith.
Meredith settled down Nia back into her bed at the hospital. Just when she was about to take off her
princess dress, Nia murmured softly, “Mommy…I still want to be a princess.”
Stroking the top of Nia’s head adoringly, Meredith tried to persuade her,” Darling, we have to go to bed
now. I’ll hang up the dress for you, okay?”
“No, I want to keep it on.” Nia then turned around and continued sleeping.
Wren, who was watching from the side, smiled and said, “Miss Meredith, let her keep it on. I don’t think
the dress will be too uncomfortable for her.”
Hesitating, Meredith finally let her be.
After placing Nia under Wren’s watch, Meredith came to Doctor Sean’s office again.
At the sight of her, Doctor Sean looked somewhat annoyed. Saying to her bluntly, “Miss Meredith, there
is really no need for you to come and ask me every day. It is not that easy to get a donor.”
“I understand.” Meredith was aware that Doctor Sean was getting annoyed with her. Bowing her head
apologetically, Meredith went on, “I’m really sorry for always bothering you with this and I know that Niais not on the top of the donor list as well. I just wanted to ask you if you have any other solutions.”
“Miss Meredith, you are a doctor yourself, aren’t you? You should know better whether there are any
other solutions to save Nia.”
Doctor Sean then went on, “Unless Nia has another family member that is willing to get tested to see if
they are a suitable match.”
Another family member?
The first person that came to Meredith’s mind was Josiah Shelby. She did think of
asking him but seeing how he was reluctant to even visit Nia, how would it be possible that he would
agree to run a test to see if he was a suitable donor?
“There is another solution. Give birth to another child and we’ll use cord blood to save Nia,” Doctor
Sean continued, “but let me just remind you that we don’t know if Nia will stay alive until the second
child is born.”
Meredith was dumbfounded by the suggestion.
She did think of asking Josiah to take the test but she had never thought of getting pregnant with
another child of his.
After all, Josiah warned her that even if she was carrying his child, he would not acknowledge any of
them as his own.
Josiah thought that she did not deserve to be the mother of his children.
But at the thought of how she had been forced to sleep with Josiah a few times, Meredith guessed that
it would be easier to get pregnant with another child instead of asking Josiah to do the test if he was amatching donor.’
novelbinIf she could get pregnant with his child, Nia might have a chance to live. At the thought of this, Meredith
felt chills run down her spine.
The next morning when Josiah went downstairs, he heard his grandmother who was talking on the
phone, “Honey, how I wish you saw them. If you did…you would have stayed and watched the
performance till the end. Really, that child was so young but she was so gifted. I must say that her
piano skills are comparable to that of Josiah…”
“If it wasn’t for Josiah who forcefully sent me home, I would have taken the little angel back home with
me.” Looking all heartbroken, Josiah’s grandmother sulked, “Sigh…my poor heart. Just the thought of
the little angel not being my great-grandchild breaks my heart.”
Josiah could only shake his head helplessly.
Walking into the dining hall, he saw Ysabelle who was standing next to his grandmother with a wide
grin plastered all over her face.
