Chapter 170Chapter 170
“Mom-“Grabbing tightly onto her mother’s hand, Meredith cried, “Mom! Didn’t you say you were only
going to take a nap? How could you lie to me? Hurry up and wake up now -” “I’m really going to get
mad at you if you don’t wake up! I’m not going to talk to you anymore! Mom…please wake up, hmm?
Please don’t leave…”
No matter how much she cried, Alayna did not wake up.
Seeing how Meredith was crying her heart out, one of the nurses could not help but try to comfort her,
“Miss, my deepest sympathies but your mom is already gone.”
“No! She will never abandon me like that, she will wake up!” Meredith tried to stop the nurses from
pushing her mom away. Shaking her head frantically as tears rolled down her cheeks, she said, “Give
me a moment, I’ll ask Josiah for help! I’ll go beg him! I’m willing to give him my life!” The nurses
exchanged a look with each other and could only shake their heads.
They simply assumed that Meredith had lost her mind from the shock of her mother’s sudden passing.
Meredith was pulled away by force from her mother’s bed. Her cries got louder and louder as she could
only watch her mother being pushed away. “Why won’t you guys give me some time? Why! Why!!”
In the end, Meredith passed out from being too worked up.
Slamming down a file against the desk, Josiah yelled, “Where is everyone? Is there anyone else who is
working in this house?!” Lily scurried into his study room. “Sir, what can I help you with?”
“Is Meredith dead or not?”.
“Get her back here at once and make me a coffee if she isn’t dead!”Taking a glimpse at the coffee cup that was empty, Lily replied carefully, “Sir, Miss Meredith is still in the
hospital. I can make you a cup of coffee if you’d like some.”
Lily knew that the coffee she brewed was not comparable to Meredith’s and
Josiah had never once tried her coffee.
But aside from Alfred, there was no one else in the house. Besides, Alfred was not good at brewing
coffee either.
“Did she really have to be kept in the hospital just for the petty wound of hers? I want her back here at
once!” Josiah seethed frustratedly.
Lily did notice that Josiah was simmering in anger the moment he got back from the hospital. She knew
that Josiah would explode in rage if Meredith continued staying in the hospital.
Just when Lily was about to leave the room, Ysabelle walked inside with a cup of freshly brewed
coffee.
Startled, Lily greeted her with a nod and left the room. Ignoring Lily, Ysabelle walked toward Josiah.
“Josiah, I knew that you would need a cup of coffee at this time to relieve some of your stress.”
Glancing at her with a look of annoyance on his face, Josiah said, “I thought I made it clear that no
visitors are allowed in this house.” Ysabelle’s expression changed slightly. “Josiah, I didn’t know that I
am considered an outsider too.”
“If not?”
novelbin“Well, why is Meredith allowed in here then?”
“Are you the same as Meredith?”“Of course not!” Ysabelle continued, “I definitely don’t have the guts to harm Yena, or to stab you, and
even kill Miss Leah.”
Ysabelle’s words were like knives stabbing into his heart.
Seeing how Josiah’s expression darkened little by little, Ysabelle quickly added, ” Alright now, Josiah. I
know you aren’t in a good mood and I simply thought of checking up on you. Nothing else, really.” “Now
that you’ve seen me, can you leave now?”
