“I‘ll be away for quite long this time, about four to five days.” Josiah stroked her head and added,
“Edith, try not to overthink things when I‘m gone alright? Don‘t go out by
yourself, and please help me take good care of grandma.” “But… I will miss you.”
Meredith stared at him and asked expectantly, “Joe, can I come along with you?”
novelbin“Edith, I‘ll be traveling abroad this time. And you don‘t have a passport.” If he was just traveling within
the country, he would have brought her along.
He would have asked her to stay put in the hotel when he was away for work or
maybe get someone to keep an eye on her.
But he was going to a hospital this time and he might be staying in the hospital as
well. Hence it might be inconvenient for Meredith.
“If that‘s the case, come home as soon as possible, okay?” Meredith said unwillingly. “Okay, I promise,”
Josiah then added, “I‘m leaving now.” Meredith stood by the door
as she watched Josiah leave in his car. Josiah‘s grandmother sighed helplessly.
“What‘s wrong, ma‘am?” Lily asked her, concerned.
With her gaze fixed on Meredith, Josiah‘s grandmother explained, “I have the feeling
that Edith‘s situation is like what they say, the calm before the storm. The more she
looks calm, the more terrified I am.”“Ma‘am, you must be overthinking it.” “Don’t you all feel the same?” Josiah‘s
grandmother then asked Penny, “What about you?” 1. Penny simply smiled. “I too
think you might be overthinking it.” “I really do hope that I‘m overthinking it.” Josiah‘s grandmother let
out another sigh then called out to Meredith, “Edith sweetheart, come over here and have a chat with
me.”
Meredith only then walked back into the house. Sitting down next to Josiah‘s
grandmother, she asked, “Granny, what do you want to talk about?”
“Anything, love,” Josiah‘s grandmother then asked, “why not bake some cookies for me? I haven‘t had
freshly baked cookies for a long long time.” Josiah‘s grandmother
thought that baking cookies would fill Meredith‘s time. “Sure, I‘ll get to it now.”
Meredith nodded.
Meredith started getting to work in the kitchen whereas Josiah‘s grandmother was
resting in her room.
The peaceful afternoon in the mansion was suddenly disrupted by the arrival of a
sports car in the front yard. Lily went outside to check to find a red sports car pulled
up in their front yard. A young and gorgeous lady got out of the car and greeted Lily, “Lily, do you not
remember me? It‘s me, Quinley Allison.” “Miss Quinley? Goodness me!How long has it been?” Lily greeted the lady politely. Quinley Allison was the daughter of the Allison
Group and she was one of Meredith‘s close friends. However, she had not visited Meredith ever since
she got into the incident.
Allison walked over to Lily, smiled, and said, “I read on the news that Meredith was
still alive and that Mister Josiah had brought her back home so I decided to visit her.”
She then scanned the surroundings. “Lily, is Meredith around?” Lily nodded. “She is, but please accept
my apologies, Miss Quinley. Sir had given orders to not let anyone meet with Miss Meredith.”
“Even I can‘t meet her?”
“I‘m afraid so. Miss Meredith is currently sick because of some accident, so…”
“I know. Her face got disfigured, right? I don‘t mind that at all.”
Lily tried to come up with another excuse when Meredith walked out of the kitchen. “Lily, do we have
more eggs? I might need more of them.” “We have some in the fridge, I‘ll go get them for you in a bit,”
Lily replied and quickly said to Quinley, “Miss Quinley…” “Is that you, Meredith?” Quinley walked past
Lily and walked toward Meredith.
Grabbing Meredith‘s hands in hers, Quinley said, “It is you, Meredith! I can‘t believe that you‘re still
alive. I‘ve missed you so much!”
Meredith was startled by the sudden appearance of a stranger and took a few steps backward,
removing her hands from Quinley‘s grasp.
