Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256 "I didn't notice them.” Ivy took a glance at the group of youngsters who had just left.

"Miss Ivy, it's dangerous like that." Meredith walked over to Ivy and helped her get up from the bench. "You

should fight back and defend yourself when this sort of thing happens again."

"But what if I can't win? What should I do?" Ivy asked.

What if she could not win them?

All of a sudden, Meredith did not know how to answer Ivy's question.

"It's not always that Joe would show up in time and help me get rid of those bad people," With a smile on her

face, Ivy added.

But there was bitterness behind her smile.

Looking at Ivy, Josiah said, "Miss Ivy, even though I am still upset about what you did back then, we are

friends, after all. I'll do what I can if you ever need help or if you're In trouble."

Ever since Ivy returned to the country, Josiah had rarely been nice to her.

But after today's incident, it seemed as if Ivy was really in trouble.

Josiah thought that helping Ivy would be doing himself a favor too.

Ivy too did not expect to hear such words from Josiah. A look of surprise flickered across her eyes. "I've told you, haven't I? My only difficulty right now is that I can’t have your heart and I can’t get married to you. And apart from that, nothing else is difficult for me.

"Let's head back now." Ivy got into the car first.

Josiah and Meredith exchanged a glance before getting into the car.

By the time the three of them arrived home, Mrs.

Shelby was drinking tea in the living room. She took a glance at the three of them and asked, "Where have you been? You guys have been missing for so long."

"We went shopping after that," Ivy replied.

She then added, "Aunt, I'm going to check on the kids."

She then turned around and was about to go upstairs. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Shelby said, "Cooper and Nia are out fishing and they're not back yet."

Ivy's steps froze slightly. "Oh, is it?

"I'll head up to get some rest then." Ivy insisted on going upstairs.

Meredith and Josiah also came up with an excuse and went upstairs. Mrs. Shelby was watching them as they leave and her expression slowly darkened.

As soon as they were back in their room, Meredith put her ears on the door and started listening.

A confused Josiah asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to listen to find out what’s going on out there, " Meredith put a finger to her mouth and whispered, "I think Suzy is here."

Meredith opened the door slightly and she could Suzy's voice saying, "Miss Ivy, Ma’am says that she wants you to make her clam chowder."

Ivy responded, "Okay Suzy. I'll get to it right away."

Soon, Ivy was heard going down the stairs.

Meredith walked over to Josiah and said, "Joe, do you notice that Ivy seems to be scared of Mrs. Shelby."

"I mean, who wouldn't be scared of my mother? With that temper of hers." Josiah was going through

something on his tablet.

"But Ivy was raised by Mrs. Shelby, wasn't she? And Mrs. Shelby adores her the most, right? They should be

close then, why would Ivy be scared of her?"

Not getting a response from Josiah, Meredith put her

head close to Josiah and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Scrolling through the contents on the tablet, Josiah explained, "There are a total of seven kids with septicemia

but I'm not sure if the girl that Ivy is looking for is in here."

Startled, Meredith took the tablet from Josiah's hands.

There was a compiled list of Information about the seven kids. But they could not be sure which child Ivy was

looking for.

"I've asked Wesley to look into these girls' families and all of them have both of their parents. So I think your

guess is wrong."

Josiah was referring to how Meredith guessed that Ivy was looking for her birth daughter.
