Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 5

Looking at Meredith who was lying lifelessly on the hospital bed, Finn uttered carefully, “Josiah, she’s willing to risk her own life to save Yena’s, are you really sure that…there isn’t some kind of misunderstanding?”

“I’ve seen the video. There’s no mistake.” Looking irritated, Josiah frowned and added, “Doctor Finn, cut the nonsense and just tell me if she’s going to die.”

Giving up on trying to persuade Josiah, Finn simply shrugged and answered, “The test results are not back yet.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, a nurse entered the patient ward with the test results. With a serious tone, she said, “Mister Josiah, Doctor Finn, the test results show that Miss Meredith is pregnant.”

Josiah’s eyes lit up briefly upon hearing the nurse’s remarks.

However, the light in his eyes dimmed immediately and in an aloof manner, he asked, “What did you say?”

Finn took the test report from the nurse and scanned through the report quickly before concluding, “Congratulations, Josiah! Miss Meredith is two months into her pregnancy.”

Josiah turned to look at Meredith who was on the bed.

She looked extremely pale and frail due to the injury on her head.

She was wounded from her head, arms, body, to even her fingers.

Josiah was surprised that Meredith managed to hang on after suffering all those injuries…not only that, she was even pregnant.

“But there are some early signs of a possible miscarriage, hence we need to transfer Miss Meredith to the obstetrics and gynecology department to further keep an eye on her,” Finn looked at Josiah with mixed feelings and asked, “So, should we transfer her?”

Josiah said nothing while he continued staring at Meredith.

Getting anxious, Finn added, “Josiah, have you forgotten that your grandpa desperately wanted a grandchild? In any case, we ought to keep the baby first.”

“She is unworthy of giving birth to a child of the Shelby family,” Josiah finally replied indifferently.

“Meredith is your legal wife, if she is unworthy, then who is? Yena Llyod?” Finn continued, “Josiah Shelby, what you have toward Yena is just because of the feelings of indebtedness, so don’t confuse this as feelings of love for her. Plus, you and Yena are from two different worlds, even if Meredith is not in the picture, you would never have married Yena.”

Josiah hesitated.

Would he have married Yena if he did not marry Meredith?

Josiah was not sure. All he knew was that Yena was the one who saved him, that he adored her, and wanted to protect her for the rest of his life.

However, he was not sure how he would protect Yena.

Under Finn’s arrangements, Meredith was transferred to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Meredith had to be careful when consuming medication, hence even when she was being taken care of in the hospital, it took her quite some time to recover.

Ysabelle, on the other hand, thought that she had finally gotten rid of Meredith completely, but things were not going according to plan the moment she found out Meredith was pregnant.

Her face twisted in anger as she threw the glass in her hands onto the floor and yelled, “Meredith Leighton, so you think you can turn the situation around? Not a chance!” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

At night, Ysabelle visited Meredith at the hospital.

At the knocking sounds on the door, Meredith’s eyes lit up in excitement.

Her first thought was that Josiah was here to visit her.

Seeing how Josiah was willing to keep the baby, Meredith thought that he still had feelings for her. Meredith thought that she finally had the chance to explain herself regarding the incident with Yena.

However, at the sight of Ysabelle, the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

With a cold attitude, Meredith asked, “What are you doing here?”

“What’s wrong? Were you expecting Josiah to show up?” Ysabelle sniggered as she walked toward Meredith’s bed and taunted, “I must say that you’re quite lucky yourself. After all the injuries you still managed to keep the baby.”
