Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 181

“But you won’t get better from just taking your medication.” “I can keep taking injections and medication. I’m not afraid.” Listening to Nia’s wishful thinking, Meredith was devastated.

Even Nia was braver than her when she was already thinking of giving up.

She was nothing compared to Nia.

She did not deserve to be Nia’s mother.

“Nia, you’re right. We shouldn’t be giving up without even trying until the last moment.” Meredith was choking up.

Nia must have fallen asleep as Meredith did not hear her replies.

With Nia’s steady breaths by her ear, Meredith lifted her head up to stop herself from crying, but more tears rolled down her cheeks.

Meredith desperately wanted things to stay as it was – walking down the path with Nia until the world’s end.

But she had to face reality. Walking to the roadside, Meredith held Nia on her back with one hand and tried to hail a cab with another hand.

She had to send Nia back to the hospital as soon as possible.

Cars were driving past them quickly and most of the cabs were already occupied.

A black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of her. Winding down the car window, Walter, the driver asked, “Miss Meredith, let me give you a ride.”

It was Josiah’s car.

Meredith instinctively looked toward the backseat and indeed, Josiah was sitting in the car.

Shaking her head, she replied, “It’s fine.”

Walter took a glance at Josiah through the rear-view mirror. It seemed like Walter was asking for Josiah’s opinion.

Josiah said, “Get into the car.”

He was not looking at Meredith. Perhaps he was avoiding looking at Nia who was on her back.

He must admit that the child would remind him of all the humiliation he got from Meredith and his mood would be affected.

He did not even know why he decided to follow her while she walked and cried along the Riverside Avenue, nor why he asked Walter to pull over and offer her a ride.

He clearly hated and resented Nia and Meredith. Ignoring him, Meredith walked to the side and continued hailing a cab. “Meredith Leighton, get in on the count of three.” Josiah felt rage swelling inside him as he had never been ignored this way. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Three, two…”

Meredith continued to ignore him. Gritting his teeth, he seethed, “One!”

She dared to ignore him? Not only did Meredith ignore him, but she even pulled into a smirk and said,” Josiah Shelby, did I get down on my knees in front of you too often that you actually think that I’ve got no self-dignity?”

Furrowing his brows tightly together, Josiah’s face was overcast.

Meredith went on, “I thought I made it clear that now that my mom is dead, my daughter will be dying soon. You have nothing to hold me against anymore. So please mind your attitude when you talk to me!

“No, wait. Please stay away from me. I don’t want to see you nor hear your voice anymore in this lifetime!”

“Meredith Leighton.” His gaze was clouded as he seethed, “Did you think that I’ll let you off the hook for what happened to Miss Leah?”

“About Miss Leah, sue me in court if you’ve got evidence!” Meredith then turned around and walked away.

Josiah froze as his gaze was fixed on Meredith and Nia.

The girls were basked under the warm golden rays of the sunset. From afar, they looked like a scene from a painting. For a moment, Josiah thought that Meredith was actually his wife and Nia was his daughter…
