Chapter 473
Meredith was stroking her tummy. It was as if she did not care that Ysabelle was holding a knife to her neck.
Ysabelle’s resentment festered in her and she held the knife closer to Meredith’s neck until tiny droplets of blood were seeping out from Meredith‘s neck
Even though the place was dimly–lit, Josiah noticed the blood.
“Stop, Ysabelle!”
Ysabelle pulled Meredith‘s hair on the back roughly and she did not care about Josiah’s threats nor the fact that Meredith‘s face was all scrunched up in pain.
She then seethed into Meredith‘s ears, taunting, “Meredith Leighton, he‘s lying to you. Do you really think that your baby is going to live after you drank the entire glass of

drugged juice? Your baby is gone!”
“No, he isn‘t!” At the mention that her baby was gone, Meredith got triggered and started yelling and crying, “my
baby is not dead! Joe, please save our baby! I don‘t want him to die!
No!”
Because she was struggling and moving around, the knife that was held against her neck was piercing into her neck. And Josiah who was watching downstairs felt
as if his heart was about to leap out of his mouth.
Because he was worried about the knife on her neck, Josiah had no choice but to tell her,” Edith, listen to me! You‘re not having a miscarriage because you‘re not pregnant in th
first
place!”

He then repeated himself in a louder voice, “Do you hear what I said, Meredith? You‘re not pregnant!”
Meredith was stunned. She stared at him dazedly and asked, “What did you say, Joe?”
Even Ysabelle was stunned.
Ysabelle checked Meredith‘s white dress to see that aside from the dust and mud, there was nothing else on her dress.
She had clearly given her two dosages of the drug and
the effects would manifest in no more than fifteen minutes. But half an hour had already passed and Meredith looked fine.
Meredith was not pregnant?
But she saw it with her own eyes when Josiah handed Meredith the pregnancy test report.
Ysabelle felt as if she was being played. Not believing him, Meredith touched her belly and asked, “You‘re lying to me, Joe. I am pregnant, aren‘t I? You were there when the

doctor told us…”
“No. The doctor confirmed that you were not pregnant but because I was worried that you’d be disappointed so I had her come up with
fake test results,” Josiah comforted her, “that is why Edith…you don’t have to be sad. Our baby hasn’t come to us yet, so he is safe.”
Meredith touched her stomach and realized that she did not feel any pain or uncomfortableness,
Could it be that she really was not pregnant?
There was no baby in her?
Seeing how Meredith was convinced by Josiah, Ysabelle immediately pressed the knife closer to Meredith‘s neck. “Meredith Leighton, if I were you, I wouldn‘t trust him. This man
daughter if you choose to believe him?”
With tears welling up in her eyes, Meredith was staring at Josiah. She was simply staring at him, saying nothing It was as if she was asking him, ‘Is it true?‘
Even though Josiah was worried that Meredith would believe Ysabelle and be affected by her words, he remained composed. He looked at Meredith and asked, “Do you believe h
“I…” Meredith was stunned. She was not sure either.
