Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 103

“Josiah, what are you still waiting for? Hurry up and bring her inside.” With her words, Josiah came back to his senses. Carrying Meredith in his hands, Josiah took big strides into the house. It was then that he realized that her entire body was cold. Even her cheeks were ice cold. Ysabelle said, “Josiah, get her upstairs quickly. I’ll make a call to Doctor Zach.”

She then rushed to the living room to make the call. Carrying Meredith to the bedroom on the second floor, Josiah turned up the heater. When he turned around, he saw Meredith waving to him and calling out to him weakly, “Joe…”

Josiah hurriedly rushed over to hold her hand in his and he sounded gentle, “Meredith Leighton, what are you planning to do again?” Shaking her head, Meredith ignored his question. Instead, she held his hand tightly and said, ” Joe…if I ever die…please…please promise me that you’ll run a paternity test with Nia, please…” Furrowing his brows, Josiah asked, “What did you say?” “Get a paternity test with Nia…” A look of bitterness flashed across her pale face. After saying those words, Meredith passed out again. Ysabelle clenched her hand around the doorknob tightly. She thought to herself, ‘That b*tch sure is sly, asking Josiah to run a paternity test.’ But if Josiah really did what she asked of him… Ysabelle took a deep breath before walking into the room. “Josiah, the doctor will be here soon. I’ll help her change into a new set of clothes. You might want to give us some room.” Josiah was still thinking about the paternity test when he was jolted back to his senses at Ysabelle’s voice.

“I’ll change it for her.” He took the clothes from Ysabelle’s hands. Looking slightly taken aback, Ysabelle bit down on her tongue and said, “Josiah, I don’t think it’s appropriate since you and Meredith are already divorced. Let me do it instead.” “Inappropriate, you say?” Josiah pulled into a smug smile. “I slept with her a few days ago. What’s so inappropriate?”

Ysabelle was wordless.

Did he mean…that he had slept with Meredith?

Ysabelle felt a vortex of jealousy swirl inside her.

Josiah started unbuttoning Meredith’s blouse and said to Ysabelle, “You should leave.” Ysabelle insisted, “Josiah, your shirt is all wet too. How are you supposed to help Meredith change? Let me do it instead, hmm?”

Josiah ignored her and continued unbuttoning Meredith’s blouse.

Because the blouse was soaking wet, the fabric was sticking against her skin and it was rather hard to remove the blouse. But Josiah patiently unbuttoned and removed her blouse. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Her fair skin was revealed and Josiah’s gaze wavered. He moved his gaze further down her body and stopped when he saw the scars on her.

He had seen the scars before but it was especially glaring today. Adjusting her body so that she was laying on the side of her body, Josiah noticed that there were more scars that were fresh on her back. The scars were from the night she fell onto the floor covered with shattered and broken pieces of glass. Tracing his fingers slowly along with the scars, Josiah said softly, “Meredith Leighton, why?” Why did she choose to get married to him and why did she cheat on him? If she did not cheat on him with Yoel, things would not have ended up this way between the both of them. Josiah could not help but think of when she held his hand in hers and begged him to get a paternity test with Nia.

Nia…

The child that looked somewhat similar to Meredith.
