Chapter 1277Chapter 1277
Meredith turned her attention to Miss Landers again and asked with concern, "Miss Landers, weren't you still fine last night? why
did you suddenly have such a high fever?"
Ivy took a deep breath and replied calmly, "Meredith, we don't have to put on an act anymore. Let's go back to our own
business."
Anyone would think the same if their rival in love suddenly became concerned about them.
Meredith understood that, but instead of leaving, she asked, "Miss Landers, were you also pretending to be nice when you
helped me with my burn?"
Ivy looked at Meredith. Soon, she nodded. "That's right. I did that to move you and let you willingly give Joe to me. otherwise,
why would I help you with the medication?"
"Then you should just think I'm doing the same as you—I'm doing this to move you so that you'll give Joe to me." Meredith smiled
at Ivy and picked up the medicine tablet on the table. "Miss Landers, take some medicine first."
Ivy glanced at the medicine and turned to Meredith. "Miss Meredith, you can leave now. I'll eat it myself."
"I promised the doctor I would make sure you eat medicine."
Seeing that she insisted, Ivy sat up from the bed, took the medicine and water glass in Meredith's
hand, and ate it.
"Miss Landers..."
"Meredith," Ivy did not wait until Meredith finished her sentence and interrupted, "stop trying to fish out
any story from me— there's nothing. I'm not going to change my mind about giving you Joe either.""Miss Landers, I know you don't love Joe, and you're forced by Mrs. Shelby," Meredith said, "Joe and I
had discussed it. If you have any difficulties, we can find a solution together. We'll also find a way to
cure Cooper's illness. You and Joe don't need to sacrifice your lifelong happiness."
"None of you can help me."
"What do you mean?"
"Meredith, I know you understand the pain of losing a child."
"Yes...our children are a part of US. But isn't Cooper getting better... " Meredith calmed down and
added, "You won't lose Cooper's..."
Ivy suddenly covered her ears.
"Miss Landers, why are you so stubborn?" Meredith asked speculatively. "Apart from Cooper, do you
have any other difficulties? Does it have something to do with the...girl with septicemia you were
looking for?"
Ivy shook her head, "stop! I don't want to listen to anything! Nothing will change!"
Even though Meredith felt terrible when she saw Ivy agitated, she still forcefully removed Ivy's hands
from her ears. "Miss Landers, even if you don't care about others, you should think about yourself. A
lifetime is very long, so you shouldn't hurt yourself like this."
'I'm willing! Гт fine with this!" Ivy suddenly glared at Meredith. " Meredith, did you hear me? I'm willing!"
Meredith glanced at Ivy's back. "Are you really doing this willingly? Even if you're tortured to the point of
being scarred all over your body, even if you're forced to give up the person you like
II"That's enough!" Ivy slapped Meredith. "Meredith, are you done yet?
"Meredith, if you like Joe, find a way to marry him! Don't start with me, and don't waste your time trying to persuade me to let go. I
won't change my mind."
Meredith covered her painful cheek and looked at Ivy. "Miss Landers, you can't snatch Joe away, so don't confuse yourself on the
main issues. Think about it for yourself."
After saying that, Meredith left the room.
When Josiah saw Meredith was back, he asked casually, "Ivy woke up?"
"She's awake and alright." Meredith nodded, falling back on the sofa in frustration.
Josiah was working on a tablet and glanced at her sideways. "Did you argue with her?"
It was apparent that he had heard it all.
