Chapter 196 Josiah’s expression gradually hardened. “I thought I made it clear that I don’t want to hear anything

about that b*stard’s child?”

“Okay, fine.” Meredith nodded and showed him the broken rose. “I was the one who planted the roses when I first

got married into the Shelby family. Both the rose and Nia belong only to me. I will bring it with me and take care of

it just like how I’ve been taking care of Nia. And, whether it lives or dies has nothing to do with you.”

She then turned around and walked away, ignoring his darkened expression. At the sight of the broken roses

scattered on the floor, Meredith had the sudden thought that she could not abandon the roses just like that. Even if

Josiah could, she could not. Hence, she had picked up one of the rose’s branch and planted it in a small vase. She

then placed the vase in Nia’s hospital ward. Looking at the vase, Nia was confused. “Mommy, why are you planting

the branch in the vase?” “Nia, darling, it’s not just a branch. It will flower someday.” “Really?” Nia opened her eyes

wide and asked, “But it looks so ugly. It doesn’t even have a leaf.”

“Nia, you’re wrong about this.” Meredith brought the vase in front of Nia and explained gently, “Even though it

looks ugly now and there are no leaves, it will grow leaves one day, and it will have flowers too.”

“Will I be able to see the flowers then?”

“Of course! I’m sure you’ll be better when the flowers grow.”

“Really?”

“Yes, darling.” Meredith nodded. It was her wish. She wished that by the time the roses bloom, Nia would have

gotten better as well.

But would her wish come true? Meredith did not know either.

“Nia, do you know the meaning that roses carry?” Meredith asked.

Nia shook her head. “I don’t.”

“The roses represent optimism and courageousness. No matter what difficulties one is experiencing, she is able to

get through it. And I think you’re like these roses too.”

Nia nodded. “Mm, I am not afraid of difficulties.”

“You’re the best, darling.” Meredith complimented her.

“Mommy, I will make sure to water the rose every day so that it grows faster and grows flowers. Then I will be able

to get better soon as well.” “Alright. Well, you’re now in charge of taking care of the rose.” “Not a problem.” Nia

agreed happily.

Taking a look at the time, Meredith said, “I’ve got to go to work now, darling. You should get some rest.”

Even though Josiah was at work today and would not be at home, Meredith did not want to risk staying out for too

long.

There were a lot of chores that she still had to do.

“Mommy, why are you leaving so soon?” Nia tugged at Meredith’s shirt unwillingly. “I have to stay here all on my

own again.” “How are you alone, darling? You have Aunt Wren with you, right?” Meredith patted Nia’s head and

comforted her, “Be good now. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”

Nia would always be unwilling to let her mother go at first but she would then nod her head. “You should get going

now, Mommy. I will be good.” Because Nia knew that her mother was working hard to pay for her medical bills.

Meredith was touched by her daughter’s thoughtfulness.

On her way out of the hospital, Meredith was even more determined to save Nia. But Josiah was not falling for her

plan and Meredith did not know what to do.
