Hearing what Josiah said, Meredith instantly caved in. She nodded. "Okay, I'll come with you."
When Josiah and Meredith rushed to Josiah's mansion, Ivy coincidentally just got out of the taxi.
Seeing them. She instinctively lowered her head. She was clearly feeling sheepish.
Josiah stood by the side of the car and mocked her, saying, "Miss Landers, what is it? Don’t you dare look at
Meredith?"
Ivy finally looked at Meredith and said, "Meredith, I'm sorry. I...I did not mean to harm you."
Meredith smiled casually. "I know you’re forced to do it. Anyway, I'm fine. Forget about it."
"You're just going to let this go?" Josiah looked at Meredith. He thought that she would at least slap Ivy. After
all, even if she was fine in the end, she was
frightened. If he did not rush there in time, she might have been defiled by that man.
"This is the last time." Meredith's tone turned serious. " Miss Landers, I hope that this is the last time
you do things that harm others and yourself."
Ivy stiffened in the same spot, saying nothing.
Meredith walked over and said, "Ivy, do you know why Joe didn't call the police? It was not because of
Mrs.
Shelby. It was because of you. We hope that you don’t continue down this path of wrongdoings. I hope
you will behave yourself."Meredith looked inside the mansion. "We will be with you in whatever problems. We will face it
together, but this is the last time. Let's go in." Then, Meredith returned to Josiah.
Mrs. Shelby seemed to know that they would return. She had long been waiting for them on the sofa.
When she saw them enter. She only swept them a glance before looking at the tv screen once more.
"What? Are you coming back to show off?"
"Mrs. Shelby, I..." Ivy walked over to her. She only took the first step when Josiah pulled her back.
"Mother," Josiah pulled Ivy behind him and said to Mrs. Shelby, "no matter what plans you have, it ends
today. I will find you a better doctor to treat you. As for the kidnapping incident, Meredith will not pursue
this seeing how you are sick. I hope that you will behave and stop hurting her."
Mrs. Shelby looked at him. "Josiah, are you really not going to marry Ivy?"
"Definitely not." Josiah was determined.
He initially thought that Mrs. Shelby would lose her temper as usual. He never thought that she would
only nod after a moment of silence. "Okay, I understand."
Then, she got up from the sofa. "If there is nothing else, I’ll head back to my room to rest. You all should get
busy."
Josiah said, "Mother, you are sick. You should receive treatment at the hospital."
Mrs. Shelby paused for a while before sitting back down on the sofa.
"Mother, don't worry. I have already arranged the room and caretaker for you. It’s the best room in Crest Care
Hospital," Josiah said seriously, "I believe that with the help of the medical staff, you will feel better."Mrs. Shelby finally understood the meaning of his words.
"Josiah, are you trying to limit my freedom?"
"Mother, you’re mistaken. You're only being treated at the hospital."
"If that's the case, then, do I have the choice to choose not to receive treatment?" Mrs. Shelby said, "Even the
gods will not be able to cure me. I would rather stay at home."
