Chapter 258


    Chapter 258 Meredith had apanied Josiah’s grandmother around the mall. In the meantime, she


    was trying to guess how Josiah’s grandmother really thought of her and her baby, and she was also


    figuring out a way to open up to her.


    While looking through a pile of clothes, Josiah’s grandmother nced at Meredith and smiled. “You’re


    quite thoughtful, aren’t you? Willing to spend time with me when you have just recovered.”


    Meredith knew that the smile on Josiah’s grandmother’s face was forced.


    Perhaps in Josiah’s grandmother’s view, she was a shamelessdy who dreamed of getting married


    into the reputable Shelby family.


    Meredith simply nodded. “I don’t have anything else to do anyway. So I’m happy to go around with


    you.”


    Josiah’s grandmother nodded and then looked at Meredith’s belly. “Right, I’ve been meaning to ask


    about how you and Josiah met. He said that you’re a hostess from a club but I know Josiah well. He is


    not the kind to have a one-night stand, so…”


    Josiah’s grandmother stopped in her tracks and then stared at Meredith sternly.” Tell me now, what is


    going on between the both of you? Is the child even Josiah’s?


    Meredith finally had the right opportunity to open up to Josiah’s grandmother.


    Pausing, she then pointed to a bench at the end of the hallway and said, “Ma’am, let’s have a seat and


    talk about this, shall we?”


    Josiah’s grandmother hesitated then sat down on the bench. “Do you need something to drink, ma’am?


    I could go get it for you downstairs.” “It’s fine, I just had tea earlier,” Josiah’s grandmother sounded


    impatient. She was dying to know the truth.


    Meredith said, “Ma’am, Josiah is the father of my child but we didn’t meet at the nightclub. It was me


    who came up with ways to get pregnant with his child.”


    “What…what did you say?” Josiah’s grandmother was startled. She almost sprung to her feet.


    Meredith quickly grabbed her arm and said, “Please let me finish, Grandma. I


    needed this child to save my daughter. My daughter is terribly ill and she needs cord blood stem cells.”


    Meredith’s eyes turned red.


    “Your daughter?” Josiah’s grandmother was speechless. “You have another daughter?”


    Meredith reached for her phone and opened up a gallery of photos. “Look, Grandma. This is my


    daughter, Nia.”


    Josiah’s grandmother looked through the photos one by one as Meredith introduced Nia. “Nia’s really


    pretty and smart for her age. She even ys the piano exceptionally well. Do you see this picture? This


    was taken when she was performing on stage.” Josiah’s grandmother’s eyes were shot wide open. She


    eximed, “Isn’t she the one who was ying the piano at the mall two . months ago? So it was you


    the other day?” “You knew about it?”

    “Yes. I was shopping with Josiah the other day and I saw the performance. I thought that the little girl


    was talented and adorable and I wanted to adopt her.” Meredith did not expect that Josiah’s


    grandmother had this encounter with them. She then held Josiah’s grandmother’s hands in hers and


    said, “Grandma, she is your great-grandchild.” “Wh…what?”


    “Grandma, I’m not Merelyn, I’m Meredith Leighton.” To avoid scaring Josiah’s grandmother, Meredith


    covered the scars on her left cheek with her hand before removing the face mask and her sses.


    Staring at Meredith with her eyes wide open, Josiah’s grandmother eximed in disbelief, “Goodness


    gracious, you’re really Meredith? Aren’t you…”
