Chapter 1236Chapter 1236
"See a doctor in the hospital?" Suzy thought for a while. "If that's what you want, I can send you a doctor after sir leaves the
house."
"My wounds hurt painfully. I'll like to go for an x-ray in the hospital," Ivy explained.
"Those are just wounds and bruises. They are most probably infected. You don't need an x-ray." Suzy stared into Ivy's eyes with
squinted eyes. Then she said with a serious tone, "Are you just trying to use it as an excuse to do something else? If Mrs. Shelby
finds out about it, it will be another round of pain for you."
"Suzy, I know. So can you please don't tell it to Mrs. Shelby?" Ivy begged sincerely.
"Miss Landers, let me remind you. without permission from Mrs. Shelby, you'll never succeed." Suzy said solemnly, "Rather than
wasting your time doing the unnecessary. Why don't you finish what Mrs. Shelby instructed and wait for her to fulfill your wishes
personally."
Ivy smiled bitterly. Having Mrs. Shelby fulfilling her dream would be the hardest thing to achieve in her life.
After waiting for a long time, Meredith did not see Ivy coming down. She asked, "Why isn't Miss Landers coming down for
breakfast?"
Lily replied, "I heard Suzy say Miss Landers is too tired from flying in the night to come back here. So
she sent the breakfast up for her.

"Oh, I see." Meredith nodded.
"Mommy, this is delicious." Nia pointed at the sweet pastry on the dining table. "It's matcha flavored.""Really? Then I should try it." Meredith took a piece and bit it. " It's really delicious, who made it?"
"Daddy ordered it from a store," Nia said.
"Is it? You ordered it back?" Meredith asked Josiah.
"Why? What's weird about it?" Josiah asked.
"It is weird. You never care about these little things in the past," Meredith replied.
"Here, have more if you like it." Josiah put two more sweet pastries on her plate.
"It's enough. I can't finish these." Meredith wanted to pass the pastries to Nia and Cooper. Then she
saw Cooper was putting more pastries on his own plate.
'Didn't he have enough already? Why is he still taking more?' Meredith wondered.
She guessed, "Cooper, are you going to take these pastries for your mommy?"
Cooper looked at her and nodded.
Even though he did not look like he was close to his mother, he still thought of her. Meredith was touched by Cooper's little
thought and rubbed his head. "Go on, she is upstairs."
Cooper took the pastries upstairs. Meredith looked at his back as he left. Suddenly, a thought came into her mind and she
followed him. "Mommy, did you have enough?" Nia asked.
"Yes, I'm going to change my clothes and get ready to go to work. Take your time to eat," Meredith replied.
She was already at the entrance of the dining room when she was halfway talking. Then she tiptoed upstairs, when she passed
by Ivy's bedroom, she heard the plate falling down the floor. It was then followed by Ivy's angry yelling, "Go away! I don't want tosee you!"
Meredith was shocked. From the slightly opened door, she saw Cooper being pushed to the floor and the pastries were scattered
on the floor.
Despite that, Cooper did not cry. He stood up and slowly picked up the pastries from the floor. Meredith thought Ivy who was
feeling angry would push Cooper out of the bedroom. However, the expression on her face suddenly changed. She squatted
down and helped Cooper to pick up the pastries, she looked apologetically. " I'm sorry, Cooper. I didn't mean to be fierce at you.
I'm just...
scared to see you."
