When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1860 A New Life

Meanwhile, Meredith saw Dahlia in the hospital room.

Dahlia's condition had stabilized, and she had been moved from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

Apart from the nurse, there was no one else by her side.

However, Dahlia was very well-behaved, as if she understood that she had been abandoned by her parents. She didn't cry or fuss, sitting upright on her bed as she stared blankly out the window with her big eyes.

Caliste said to Meredith, "This child is truly resilient. Even when the nurse gave her injections or performed procedures, she didn't make a fuss."

Meredith gave a nod, stepping forward and calling out softly, "Dahlia."

Upon hearing Meredith's call, the small figure stirred slightly.

Dahlia turned her head to look at who it was.

Meredith stared into her beautiful eyes, initially taken aback.

The child is barely over a year old, yet there's not a spark of light in her eyes. They seem vacant, much like a stagnant pool of water.

At that moment, Meredith made up her mind.

She took a few strides forward, arriving in front of Dahlia.

"Dahlia, would you like to be my daughter?" Meredith wasn't sure if Dahlia could understand, so she added, "Would you let me be your mother, is that okay?"

Caliste, who was standing by the side, couldn't quite believe that Meredith really wanted to adopt Dahlia.

After all, the child was not in good health, and her mother was anything but decent.

Dahlia's large eyes flashed with a glimmer.

It seemed as though she understood, yet at the same time, it appeared as if she didn't. She remained silent, her expression blank.

Caliste stepped forward. "Dahlia, do you like Ms. Seller? Would you like to live with Ms. Seller from now on?"

Caliste was particularly hopeful that Dahlia would nod in agreement.

She would occasionally come over to see the child, whom she pitied.

She knew that Nicholas would also visit, but his indifference toward the child was clear. She had heard that since Dahlia's birth, Nicholas hadn't even held the child once.

Eventually, Dahlia came to her senses. Under the expectant gazes of the two

people, she slowly nodded in acknowledgment.

Meredith burst into laughter, swiftly pulling Dahlia into her arms.

"Dahlia, from now on, you're my daughter."

Dahlia, cradled in her arms, initially wore a vacant expression. Gradually, it began

to change, and large tears started to roll down her cheeks.

This was the first time she shed tears after her surgery.

Meredith held Dahlia tightly, simply unable to let go.

She asked Caliste, "Can I take her home with me?"

Caliste

couldn't help but shake her

head. "It's not possible at the moment. You still need to go

through the adoption proceduren et

on to stay in

Besides, this child still has to stay in the hospital for observation

week." ne

"Oh, right, right, I was a bit too hasty," Meredith said.

Caliste once again wore a troubled expression. "There's another issue. Cassandra hasn't been sentenced yet, We don't know if she willagree to this, so it might still be tricky."

From Caliste's understanding of Cassandra, she wouldn't allow Dahlia to be adopted by Meredith even if she didn't care about her own daughter.

After hearing this, Meredith also became serious.noveldrama

"It seems there are more obstacles ahead, but no matter what, I'm determined to have this child."

She felt a special connection the moment she laid eyes on Dahlia.

Dahlia was now temporarily allowed to leave her hospital room, so Meredith took

her along to visit Queenie and Cecilia in their ward.

When Dahlia caught sight of Queenie, her eyes lit up.

Queenie reached out to her, and without any hesitation, Dahlila lunged toward the former.

"Good girl," Queenie held her, feeling a deep pang of heartache.

After all, Dahlia was her granddaughter.

Meredith then revealed her plans to adopt Dahlia to Queenie.
