Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 50

“Because he smells like what daddy should smell like.” Smells like daddy? What smell was that? Meredith could not imagine. “Nia, that’s all fake, but don’t worry. I will find daddy back” “Will you?” “Hmm, so if you see him again in the future, stay away from him, please?” Nia furrowed her brows and stayed silent.. “Edith, what do you plan to do?” Once Nia fell asleep once again, Alayna asked worriedly.

Meredith said bitterly, “Mom, I don’t know, except the fact that we cannot let Nia go near that jerk Josiah anymore.”. “Does he really hate Nia that much?”

“I guess so. When I got pregnant back then, he told me that even if Nia was his, he would not want her, so…” Meredith shook her head guiltily. “Mom, I’m useless. I should have changed Nia to another hospital.” “Where else can you go?”

“Yes, where else could we go?” Without mentioning the transferring fees and the exorbitant amount needed to do a check-up once more, Josiah was onto her at that moment. Would he just let her go? Impossible! “Mom, let me think about it,” Meredith said.

Alayna nodded and said nothing more.

To escape the control of Josiah, Meredith did not go to the Luna Club that night to work. She went to other clubs for interviews instead.

However, most of the club managers rejected her when they heard that she wanted to perform the piano. Those that were willing to take her in also kicked her out once they saw her face clearly. After a night of futile attempts, Meredith returned to the hospital the next day. She saw Zade standing by the door of Nia’s ward from afar. She stopped in her tracks for a while before approaching him. “Zade, how do you still dare to come here?”

Zade grabbed Meredith’s hands and looked at her affectionately. “Edith, I heard you didn’t go to the Luna Club last night, so I wanted to come and see if anything had happened to you.” “I’m fine, but you…” Meredith sized him up. “Have you forgotten what Josiah warned you about the night before? Why are you still here looking for me?” “Edith, I have been looking into the incident between you and Josiah the entire night. I believe that you are not that sort of person.”

“You believe me?” Meredith smiled bitterly. Even an outsider would believe her, yet Josiah, her husband, would not even believe her. Why was that? Perhaps Josiah has never loved her. How pathetic! “That’s right. I believe you. My feelings for you wouldn’t change because of this.” Zade held her hands even tighter. “Edith, no matter how great he is, he is just your ex-husband. Is he going to control you your entire life?”

“Zade, you clearly have not looked into him in detail yet.” Josiah was not just as simple as her ex- husband. If he could send her to hell back then, he could do the same at that moment. Meredith did not care about her own life, but she did not want to drag others down. She did not want Zade to end up like Qira because of her. “Even if he is the devil, from what you say, I’m not afraid of him.” Zade’s tone was firm. Meredith withdrew her hands from Zade’s grip. She shook her head. “Zade, you don’t have to sacrifice your life for me. It’s not worth it.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I think it’s worth it,” Zade said, “Edith, didn’t he hurt you? Why don’t we take Nia and leave Jehovah City, far away from him?”
