Still Loving You Nonetheless

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.”
