Chapter 228


    She got her answers immediately when she noticed the smell that she was so familiar with


    It was Josiah Shelby.


    Did he actually save her?


    How was it possible?


    “Josiah, what are you doing here?” Ysabelle pretended to be surprised. But before Josiah responded,


    she quickly went on, “My dad sent me here to convince Meredith to get rid of that unfathered baby, but


    she is unwilling to.”


    Meredith slowly came back to her senses. Josiah and Ysabelle had always been on the same side.


    How could she expect Josiah to be kind just because he caught her right in time?


    Scrambling out of his arms, Meredith seethed coldly, “Ysabelle, I’m going to say it once more. Even


    though the child is unfathered, he still has me as his mother. I will not get rid of him. And, I have already


    cut ties with the Leighton family for a long time. The Leightons have no right to be telling me what I


    should do with my life.”

    She then walked away in hurried steps.


    Staring at Meredith who was leaving, Ysabelle said to Josiah, “Looks like the child is really born out of


    wedlock. We should just leave her alone.”


    “Ysabelle Leighton,” Josiah called out to her in a cold voice, “I’m going to say it only once, so listen


    closely. Mind your words. That child is not unfathered, I am the father to that child.” Ysabelle was


    dumbfounded.


    She finally came back to her senses. Walking up to Josiah, she asked, “What did you say, Josiah? How


    could it be? Weren’t you the one who forced her to take the contraceptive pills?” .


    “I’ve asked the doctors and they said that it’s not a guarantee that the pills will work.”


    Ysabelle was shocked to her core.


    Josiah found out that he was the father of the child that Meredith was carrying.


    What should she do?


    Meredith would be able to turn her situation around if Josiah’s grandmother got to know of this news.


    And the Leighton family would be affected too. Nia and Wren had gone downstairs to the garden while


    Meredith was recalling what happened earlier.


    She thought that Josiah had left but suddenly realized that he was standing by the door of the ward.


    Instinctively, she froze. ring at him, she said, “You…” “What’s the matter? Am I that frightening? Are


    you that terrified of me?” Josiah’s gaze stopped at her belly. Clenching her hands tightly into a fist


    underneath the covers, Meredith replied with a straight face, “Josiah Shelby, you are aware that Nia


    likes you a lot and sees you as her father, so why are you showing up here just to disappoint her?”


    Walking toward her, Josiah responded, “Meredith Leighton, stop changing the subject.”


    “…” Meredith felt her heart drop.


    “Tell me now, if the child you’re carrying is mine?” “No,” Meredith denied.


    “You sound strangely confident.”


    “Because the child is not yours,” replied Meredith.


    Studying her, Josiah snickered, “Meredith Leighton, the more you sound confident, the more that I


    believe that the child is mine.”
