When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1861 The Process Begins

After hearing this, Queenie felt overjoyed on Dahlia's behalf. "Dahlia is blessed that you want to adopt her."

She had initially thought that if the Rainsworth family did not want to take in Dahlia, she would then raise the child herself.

Regrettably, she didn't have much time left to live.

Now that Meredith was willing to adopt the child, it truly was a blessing.

"I feel as if I'm the one who's blessed to be able to adopt her."

Meredith looked at Dahlia, feeling as if this child were her own daughter.

Queenie nodded, “Yeah. I just don't know how difficult the adoption process for her would be."

Once Cassandra had been sentenced, she would lose custody of Dahlia.

Hence, the decision would lie in Nicholas' hands.

After all, he was Dahlia's father still, in name at least.

Meredith understood it too. "I'll go and inquire with Cassandra today. Once things are sorted out on her end, I'll meet Nicholas."

"Sure." Queenie nodded.

Cecilia was now able to leave the hospital.

She said to Meredith, "If you encounter any difficulties, remember to let me know."noveldrama

She felt that Meredith's intention to adopt Dahlia was not going to be easy. Meredith didn't show hesitation in accepting her help. "Alright."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Dahlia and said, "Dahlia, for now, you should stay in the hospital until you're fully recovered. Once you're better, I'll take you home, okay?"

After hearing this, Dahlia immediately reached out to her, fearing she would just leave her behind.

Meredith held Dahlia in his arms, gently soothing her.

"Don't worry," he assured, "I'll expedite your adoption process. Once that's done, we can stay together forever."

Dahlia seemed to understand what Meredith meant. She didn't cry or make a fuss but merely held onto Meredith tightly, reluctant to let go.

Even though she was young, she could sense the emotional changes among the adults. She knew who genuinely cared for her and who didn't.

After Meredith escorted Dahlia back to her hospital room, she immediately went off to see Cassandra.

However, when she saw Cassandra, she found that the once graceful swan that danced on the stage was now covered in wounds, both on her face and body.

Meredith knew the kind of woman she was and felt no sympathy for her, choosing instead to get straight to the point.

"I want to adopt your daughter, Dahlia."

At first, Cassandra was puzzled. She had no particular dealings with the Seller family, so she couldn't figure out why Meredith would come to see her. To her surprise, it turned out the fatter wanted to adopt her daughter.

She knew that Meredith and Cecilia were close. There was no doubt about it.

"Do you actually think that my daughter needs to be adopted

you? Don't make me laugh! Even if I were on the brink of death, I still wouldn't let you adopt her

Meredith simply couldn't believe that a mother could think that way.

"You're being incredibly selfish, you know. You're well aware that you can't leave this place. If Dahlia follows you, what will her future hold?"

Cassandra couldn't care less. "What's that got to do with you? I certainly won't let you raise my daughter."

"Just tell me what you want!" Meredith said.

A flicker crossed the depths of Cassandra's eyes as she once again turned to Meredith. "You should have Cecilia and the others drop the charges," she said. fo

Meredith stood up. "Never. If you won't agree, then forget it. I'll go find Nicholas."

Originally, Meredith just wanted to seek Cassandra's verbal approval. She was Dahlia's biological mother after all.

But now, It seemed that there was no longer a need for it.

Once Cassandra was sentenced, she would lose custody of Dahlia, and her decisions would no longer matter.

"Wait!" Cassandra called out as soon as he saw Meredith about to depart.

Meredith turned to look at her, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Are you regretting your decision?"

"No, ask Cecilia to come see me. I have something important to tell her."
