Chapter 1158
Ivy's response showed that she still loved Josiah a lot.
Meredith felt something uncomfortable welling up in her chest.
Noticing that Ivy's eyes were slowly red-rimmed, she asked, "So Cooper is just a tool for you to get married to
Josiah, yes? You don't really love him at all."
Ivy replied, "Meredith, you must have experienced how it feels to lose your child, haven't you?"
"I did. When I lost Nia, I could feel my world come crashing down on me, and I was mentally unstable and even lost
my memories..."
"It sounds painful and one needs to be mentally strong to be able to get through the pain. But congratulations for
getting out of the suffering," Ivy mumbled under her breath, "I too hope that I'd be able to do that too..."
Seeing how Ivy was in pain, Meredith sympathized with her. "I'm sure Cooper will get better soon.

bubbly and lively child. I believe that with Nia's company, Cooper will be able to get well soon."
Ivy, on the other hand, looked triggered.
She who had been keeping a calm front finally flew into a rage. " Meredith Leighton, this is your aim, isn't it? First
taking away Josiah and now my son. Then the four of you would live together happily as a family while I lose
everything and spend the rest of my life alone, that's what you want, is it not?"
"I don't mean it that way, Miss Ivy. All I want is to help Cooper."
"You don't mean it that way?" Ivy scoffed coldly, "I already said it earlier. If you do care about Cooper, then please
stay away from Josiah so that we can be a family again. Being together as a family is a much more effective
treatment compared to any other medication and treatment plan for Cooper."
Meredith stood silent at that.
"If you can't, then please stop acting like you care and stop trying to take my son away from me." Ivy suddenly
started tearing up. " Because I can't afford to lose Cooper..."
Seeing how Ivy was all worked up, Meredith took a deep breath and said, "Forget what I said if you don't want to do
it."
There was movement at the door and the both of them turned around to see Cooper standing by the door, looking
at them.
Meredith and Ivy immediately stood up from the couch.
Ivy was a step of Meredith, going over to Cooper. Holding Cooper's hands in hers, she asked, "How are you feeling
my dear? I'm here to take you home, shall we go home now?"
Staring at Ivy, Cooper gently pulled his hands away from Ivy.
After a moment, he uttered slowly, "Daddy...Mommy..."
This was the second time that he was saying the words - daddy and mommy.
For some reason, Meredith felt conflicted again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWiping away the tears on her face, Ivy said, "Cooper, I know that you want me and Daddy to be together, but
Daddy...he can't be with us for now. But I promise that I'll make your wish come true, I promise..."
"Miss Ivy, how could you make such a promise to a child?" Josiah showed up suddenly and immediately cut off Ivy.
Ivy was stunned. Looking at Josiah, she asked, "Joe, Cooper is only sick because you haven't been around. Are you
really not going to care about him anymore?"
"If it wasn't because of your selfish act, the child wouldn't even exist!"
"You-!" Ivy was wordless with rage.
Cooper turned around and rushed down the stairs.
"Cooper!" Ivy immediately followed her son.
Irked, Meredith stared at Josiah and seethed, "How could you say such a thing in front of Cooper? Go after the child
right now!"
If it was not because she was worried that Ivy would think that she was trying to snatch Cooper from her, Meredith
would have gone after Cooper herself.
Josiah too was frustrated that Cooper was a child who had the tendency to run away from home.
But under Meredith's urge, he had no choice but to go after Cooper.
