Chapter 180
“Yes, Sir.”
“Josiah Shelby, why are you forcing me to go home?” “Grandma, you must’ve been tired from all the walking. Get
some rest at home. We’ll watch a movie together once I get back.”
“You…” Josiah’s grandmother was furious. Pointing at him, she seethed, “Just you wait, Josiah Shelby!”
At the sight of the car leaving, Josiah tried to ease the tight knot between his brows before reaching for his phone
to make a call.
As soon as the call was answered, Josiah said bluntly, “Grandpa, I have to ask for a favor. Please send someone
over and bring Grandma back to Delmas Town…”
Right when he walked backstage on the performing stage, Josiah saw Meredith taking a small bundle of cash from
the owner.

dress as a gift from me.” “Can I really?” Nia pulled into a wide grin. “Of course, honey. The dress looked really good
on you too.”
“Thank you, ma’am. I really like this dress too.”
“Not a problem, sweetheart.”
“Thank you so much for everything, ma’am. We’ll be leaving now.”
“Alright. Hope to see you around.”
As Nia was not allowed to leave the hospital grounds for too long, Meredith hurriedly left the mall with Nia after
bidding goodbye to the owner lady.
Riverside Avenue was located right outside the mall. It was evening then and the river was glistening and
glimmering from the evening rays of sunlight. The view was breathtaking.
Nia who had spent most of her time in the hospital was especially fascinated and stunned by the picturesque view
in front of her. Gasping in awe, she said, “Mom, look at the sunset!”
“Yes, darling, a sunset.” With Nia on her back, Meredith too took a closer look at
the scenic view.
The view was stunning.
“Mommy, can we watch the sunset?”
“Mm…” Meredith paused before replying, “okay. We will go back to the hospital after seeing the sunset.” “Okay.”
Nia nodded happily.
Meredith crossed the roads and came to a stop at Riverside Avenue.
The weather was fair today. Meredith suddenly realized that it was a happiness to be able to take a walk with Nia
while watching the sunset.
How she wished that this could go on forever.
“Nia, do you love me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Of course.” Laying on her mother’s back, Nia nodded her head softly.
“Mommy loves Nia very much too.
“Nia, if there is an afterlife, please don’t be my daughter anymore, okay?”
“Why?”
“Because I failed to protect you and take good care of you. You should find yourself a rich family and spend the rest
of your days laughing and in happiness, instead of having to take injections and take medication every day.” She
turned to look back at Nia and said, “Promise me, won’t you, Nia?”
“No,” Nia shook her head, “I still want to be your daughter. I want to stay with you and daddy and grandma.”
She added, “I’m not afraid of taking injections and eating medicine.” Meredith was touched by Nia’s words. She felt
tears welling up in her eyes and her sight was slowly blurred. “Mommy…” Nia was slowly getting sleepy as she
found it comfortable laying on Meredith’s back, but she went on, “you said once…that we should be braver, be
more optimistic. Once I get better…we can then be happy for the rest of our days.”
“Mm.” Nodding her head as a tear rolled down her cheeks, Meredith said, “But I don’t know what I can do to make
you get better, I don’t know anymore…” “Mommy, I’ll be good. I’ll take the injections and eat my medicine.”
