It took a while before Josiah’s grandmother came back to her senses. She murmured, “This is unbelievable. Everyone said that you were dead, but here you are, in front of me, well and alive. What exactly happened?” “And you mentioned Nia, is she really Josiah’s daughter?”
“Yes. I swear on my life.”
“And Josiah…” “He doesn’t believe me. He is convinced that I cheated on him with Yoel and he thinks that Nia belongs to Yoel. That was why he locked me up in a psychiatric ward that year. Later, because of the fire, I had an early birth and it was my mom who saved the child and that is why Nia is still alive.”
Tears would well up in her eyes every single time she talks about her past.
But she had no time to cry. She had to clear her name and come up with a way to save Nia.
“But unfortunately, Nia was diagnosed with a terrible illness and she needs a bone marrow transplant surgery. And this is why I got close to Josiah to get pregnant with his child,” Looking at Josiah’s grandmother, she added, “but the doctor said that Nia only has less than eight months to live, and that is why I…” “What…” Josiah’s grandmother was shocked.
Holding Josiah’s grandmother’s hands in hers, Meredith pleaded, “Grandma, please save Nia. She is really Josiah’s daughter. Look at her eyes, and her nose, doesn’t she look a lot like Josiah?”
Meredith swiped the photos and said, “If you don’t believe me, we can run a test on Nia. But we have to do it without the Leightons knowing, in case they try to get in our way.” After letting everything out, tears
finally ran down her cheeks. Meredith thought that she could finally see a ray of hope. She knew that her decision to talk to Josiah’s grandmother would work.
“Grandma,” Meredith cried, “I am Meredith Leighton. You know me the best, don’t you? How would I possibly cheat on Josiah with a servant?”
Josiah’s grandmother’s mind went blank and her thoughts were scattered all over the place. But there was one thing that stuck with her. “You said that…Nia only has eight months to live?”
“Yes.” Meredith nodded.
“What should we do then?” Josiah’s grandmother felt something wrenching in her chest.
Her precious great-granddaughter only had less than eight months to live?
Without Meredith asking anything, Josiah’s grandmother was even more anxious than she was. “What are you still doing here then? We have to call for a meeting at the hospital to treat Nia!”
“Grandma, listen to me,” Meredith tried to calm her down and said, “what’s most important right now is to find a suitable bone marrow for Nia, but because Nia’s blood type is rare, it is hard to find a suitable donor. Unless we ask Nia’s. birth father. The chances that it would be a match to Nia’s blood type would be higher.”
“Didn’t you ask Josiah to get tested?”
Meredith shook her head. “Josiah was never convinced that Nia is his daughter.”
“That bastard!” Josiah’s grandmother scolded, “If anything happens to Nia, I will break his legs!”
Meredith felt relieved. “Grandma, Nia is in Crest Care right now. You can ask Josiah to get tested there.”
“Okay. I will make sure he gets his ass there.” Josiah’s grandmother then made a call to Josiah.
