Chapter 101
“Meredith Leighton, you’re quite sharp-tongued, aren’t you?” Clenching his jaws tightly, Josiah charged toward her, grabbed her chin in his hands and hissed, “Let’s see how much longer you’ll stay this stubborn.”
“Kill me if you dare!”
Meredith had run out of options and she did not want to live for another second. How could she when she could not even save her mother and her daughter?
She would finally be free once she was dead. But at the thought of Nia who was waiting for her at the hospital, Meredith could not bring herself to think of dying. She had no right to die. Once again, she was conflicted. “You want to die? Do you think I’ll let you die this easily?” Josiah stared at her with his cold piercing gaze. “Don’t worry. I will make sure that you’d live a long, long life. I’ll make sure your life is a living hell. Now get the hell away from me!” “Josiah…”
“Miss Meredith, let’s go.” Lily was worried that Meredith would anger Josiah even more hence she hurriedly pulled Meredith with her to the door.
Staring at Meredith being pulled away, Ysabelle pulled into a smug smile.
Turning to look at Josiah, she then said, “Josiah, you don’t actually buy into what she said, do you? I wasn’t here the whole day until just now. Besides, if I really want to harm Yena, I would have done so already when she was in the hospital. Why wait until now?”
With a straight face, Josiah said, “You should go too.” “Josiah…”
“Get the f*ck out!”
Biting down on her lips, Ysabelle walked out of the room unwillingly. The room was finally peaceful and quiet again. Walking over to Yena’s bed, Josiah sat down by her side and took her injured fingers into his hand. His face softened gradually. It was only when he was with Yena that he would become gentle and soft. He was like this back then, and he would be the same in the future.
It was not raining when Meredith returned but it started drizzling. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Under the rain, Meredith dropped on her knees.
“Miss Meredith, take this umbrella with you,” Lily held an umbrella above her.
Walking down from the second floor, Ysabelle pretended to be worried. “Meredith, even though you tried to accuse me earlier, I still want to remind you that you should stop going
against Josiah. He is way out of your league.” Meredith, of course, knew that she was no match to Josiah. That was why she could only kneel under the rain, nothing being able to do anything.
Seeing how Meredith was not saying anything, Ysabelle felt as if her words landed on deaf ears.
She then added, “Lily, get that umbrella away from her. Josiah would only get even mad when he sees this, and Meredith would only be the one to suffer.”
Lily agreed with Ysabelle but at the same time, she could not bring herself to let Meredith stay under the heavy rain.
Just a few minutes of being under the rain was enough to make one catch a cold, let alone staying under the rain for a night.
Meredith said to Lily, “Lily, you should just go.” “You’ll catch a cold, Miss Meredith…”
