Chapter 1000 “Edith, don’t be like this.” Josiah hugged her in his arms and comforted her, “I know you’re upset. Just
cry if you’re upset.”
Meredith finally broke down and sobbed, “Why… why would this happen? Why…?”
Why would God treat Charlie that way?
“If Charlie knew how sad you are, he would surely be very sad too.” Josiah comforted her helplessly,” Edith, Charlie
saved you so you could live well…”
“But I don’t want him to die for me! I don’t want that!”
Charlie’s accident happened because of her. At that moment, he fell off the cliff because of her again.
Mary was right. She was always dragging him down and hurting him…
“Edith…”
Josiah was just about to continue comforting her when Meredith suddenly grabbed him by his clothes and yelled,
“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! If you did not give Yena all those false illusions, why would she hurt Charlie

Although she was the one Yena wanted to hurt, it was always Charlie that protected her from harm.
Josiah did not get angry at her complaints. He even nodded furiously. “Edith, you are right. This is all my fault. The
person who should be remorseful and blaming themselves should be me, so stop blaming yourself, please?”
To lighten her psychological burden, he continued saying, “If back then I didn’t mistake her for you and let her stay
with me, I wouldn’t have brought her hope and false fantasies. If I were crueler back then, getting someone to get
rid of her, she wouldn’t have used getting treated as an excuse to escape to kidnap you.”
His words were filled with regret. It was a real regret. This was why no matter how Meredith blamed him or
complained about him, he could not defend himself.
Meredith’s cold was not healed yet. Under the blow of Charlie’s death, she soon passed out in Josiah’s arms
Josiah looked at her swollen eyes from crying. He carefully wiped away her tears and brought her to bed.
Josiah stayed by her side for a while before instructing Lily to care for her and not let anyone go near her before
leaving the ward.
After all, he still needed to deal with Charlie’s funeral.
Josiah just left the ward when he saw Old Madam Shelby staggering over from the lift.
He immediately approached her and held her arm. “Grandma, why are you here?”
“How dare you still ask me why I am here!?” Old Madam Shelby looked at him with reddened eyes. “Where is
Charlie? Is he really dead?”
Josiah was silent for a few seconds before gently nodding.
Receiving confirmation, Old Madam Shelby immediately sobbed. She sobbed and hit Josiah, scolding him, “Didn’t I
tell you to give in to him and care for him? Why did you let something like this happen to him? Josiah, why did you
not care for him!”
“I’m sorry, Grandma…” Josiah was a little disappointed because everyone blamed him for Charlie’s death.

It was one thing for Old Madam Shelby and Mary blaming him. Even Meredith blamed him. That was the saddest

“Charlie…woo…woo…my Charlie!” Old Madam Shelby was crying so terribly that her legs turned to jelly.
Josiah had just finished comforting Meredith, yet he had to comfort his grandmother. He was barely holding it in.
He swept a cold gaze at Penny and said, “Who told Grandma?”
Penny immediately said, “Mrs. Larson.”
When he heard that it was Mary, naturally, he could not say anything else.
He hugged Old Madam Shelby by the shoulders and gently comforted her, “Grandma, there is no use for you
coming here. You can’t help much too. Why don’t you head home instead?”
