Chapter 1259Chapter 1259
The kids were already soundly asleep and Ivy was adjusting the room temperature.
"Are Cooper and Nia already asleep?" Meredith took a glance at both of the kids who were sleeping
next to each other.
Ivy had her eyes fixed on Meredith.
She was reminded of Mrs. Shelby’s words earlier - about how Josiah would have no choice but to
marry her if she had gotten rid of Meredith.
Mrs. Shelby was right. Perhaps if Meredith was gone, Josiah would have found it easier to accept her.
After all, she was Cooper's mother.
But how would Meredith be gone just like that?
Unless she were to do what Mrs. Shelby had suggested...
"Miss Ivy, aren't you going to get some rest?" Meredith raised her voice a little as Ivy seemed to have
not heard her earlier.
Ivy finally came back to her senses. She asked, "Sorry, what were you saying, Meredith?"
Meredith replied, "I was saying ...I would like to have a word with you. Can we talk in your room?"
Ivy hesitated a while before nodding. "Sure."
She then turned around and headed to her bedroom.Meredith followed Ivy into her bedroom. Ivy turned around to face Meredith and asked, "Meredith, what
would you like to talk about?"
Meredith handed the tablet in her hands to Ivy and said, "Miss Ivy, this is a list of all the little girls
diagnosed with septicemia. Have a look and see if the person that you're looking for is in there."
Ivy's face went pale immediately. She was staring at Meredith with a startled look on her face.
Meredith added, "If you don’t think she's in Delmas town, I can help you to search for her all over the
country."
After a moment of silence, Ivy finally seethed frustratedly, "Were you following me?"
Without trying to hide anything, Meredith nodded.
"How could you follow me?" Ivy fumed, "Meredith Leighton, I didn't know that you would stoop so low!"
"Didn’t they say that one should know their enemies if one wants to win the battle? Well, you’re
technically my enemy, aren't you?" Meredith pulled into a smile and added, "Do you really not want
this? I've asked my
people to look into this.”
With her hands slowly clenched into a fist, Ivy hesitated before finally reaching out to take the tablet
and started scrolling across the list.
Meredith said, "Miss Ivy if the person that you're looking for is not on the list, don't worry. As long as
you promise me that you’ll leave Joe alone, I'll promise you that I'll look for the child across the country
for you."
Ivy tightened her grip on the tablet and stayed silent.Meredith studied her and went on, "But I am curious who is the person that you're searching for. Could
she be your family?"
Ivy lifted her head abruptly and looked at Meredith.
Meredith added, "What I mean to say is that if she is your family, it’s easier to find the child if we get a
sample of your blood."
Meredith wanted to know why Ivy was looking for a little girl with septicemia.
And she was confident that finding the girl would be the easiest way to get into Ivy’s world of secrets.
