Chapter 70

Josiah did not agree to her request right away but said instead, “We’ll see.” Feeling pleased, Ysabelle
pulled into a smile.

She could not wait for Yena to move back into Josiah’s place as she then would be able to have more
time with Josiah.

Meredith finally saw Zya showing up at work. At the sight of Zya, Meredith hesitated, not knowing what
to ask. She could not bring herself to ask Zya about Zade. Zya, of course, noticed the worried look on
Meredith’s face. She comforted her, “Don’t worry. Zade is doing fine and he has already left Jehovah
City.” “Zade…he really left?”

And he left this quickly? Meredith was worried that Zade would not do what Josiah had asked of him
and the fact that Josiah might hurt him because of that. Nodding her head, Zya added, “Zade had told
me what happened last night. To be fair, if I were him, I wouldn’t have been able to accept the love of
my life…doing those things either.”

Meredith felt her face burning up.

“I’m sorry, Zya. Last night, I…”

“I understand. You did those to save my brother and Zade understands too, but…”

Zya shook her head and continued, “All I could say is that Mister Josiah is not someone that we should
go against.” “I did this to your brother. He had to leave Jehovah City because of me.” Hesitating,
Meredith added, “Zya, I’ll talk to Josiah and ask him to take mercy on Zade.”

Meredith knew that Josiah would not even care to talk to her.



But she could not bear to see Zade being kicked out of Jehovah City just because of her. She was
willing to let Josiah humiliate or torment her once more if it meant that he would take mercy on Zade.
Even so, she was also worried that if she were to put in word for Zade, Josiah would get even angrier
and this might cause more trouble for Zade.

“It’s fine,” Zya shook her head and added, “Zade had decided to leave Jehovah City not because he
was threatened by Josiah, mainly because…he himself wanted to run away.”

“Merelyn, you’re the first person that Zade had loved. I hope you’d understand where he’s coming from
and please don’t hate him too much for leaving you behind.”

How would she possibly blame Zade when she felt guilty toward him?

No man would be able to accept the love of their life being intimate with another man.

It was understandable that Zade had chosen to run away.

Fumbling with the phone in her hands, Meredith finally decided to send Zade a goodbye message after
a moment of hesitation.

And just like she expected, Zade did not reply to her.

He had chosen to disappear completely from her life.

Or perhaps Zade was finally free, free from her.

After all, happy endings had never once belonged to her.

“Miss, why is my mommy not here to see me?” With her eyes wide open, Nia asked the nurse who was
removing the IV drip.



The two nurses were in the middle of gossiping. One of them replied half-heartedly, “Your mommy is
working. She must be busy.”

After that, the nurse continued talking to her colleague, “Pst, did you hear that Josiah Shelby is
planning to move Yena Llyod back to his place? Apparently, they think that it’s better for Yena to be in
familiar surroundings for a speedy recovery.”
