Chapter 137 Taking a glance at him, Meredith asked, “Mister Liam, you’re quite capable, aren’t you?”
“This…” Liam cleared his throat and answered, “I’m not sure…how to answer your question but you
can talk to me if you have any troubles. I’ll try to help in whatever ways that I can.”
“Can I ask you for a favor, then?” Meredith was well aware of the fact that Josiah would be angered if
she were to ask Liam for help.
But she had no other choice. Aside from Liam, there was no one else that she could turn to.
“What do you need me to do?” “It’s about my mom…” Hesitating, Meredith finally told Liam about the
incident that involved her mother.

his mind, how could he even think of doing this to an elderly?”
“Don’t worry, I will help you,” added Liam. Even though he sounded confident, Meredith knew better
that with Josiah still in the picture, it would be hard for Liam to help her. Josiah was already annoyed by
the fact that she and Liam were close because he thought that she had purposely seduced him. “Can
you really help me?” Smiling bitterly, Meredith looked at him and added, “If you do help me, won’t
Josiah be mad at you too?”
“I don’t really care if he would be mad at me or not…but I do worry that he would try to get in the way
and stop me from helping you.”
Indeed, it could be a problem.
“To be honest, I thought of this too.” Meredith’s last bit of hope was taken away. But shortly after, she
asked again, “Mister Liam, could you please help me meet my mother? I want to know if she’s doing
fine.” “That wouldn’t be a problem.” “Really? Let’s go now then.” “Let’s go now before they get off work.”
Liam got up onto his feet.
Using the shortest amount of time, Meredith went upstairs and put on a coat and a face mask. Noticing
the face mask on her face, Liam asked, “I’m sure you can get rid of those burn scars on your face,
right? Why didn’t you get them done?” Meredith simply pulled into a bitter smile, not saying a word. She
could not even afford to pay Nia’s medical bills, let alone think of getting rid of the scars on her face.

“It’s not that.” Meredith shook her head. “Mainly it’s because I don’t have the money, and the time, so I
didn’t bother to.” “I can lend you money if you need it and I can also recommend the best plastic
surgeon in town to you,” Liam added, “So what do you think?” Meredith looked at him, dumbfounded.
She really did need money but not for herself. She needed money for Nia’s surgery fees.
If Liam was willing to borrow her money, Nia’s surgery could be brought forward then.
Even though it was kind of embarrassing to be borrowing money from Liam whom she was not close
to, for the sake of Nia’s illness, she was willing to throw away her dignity and pride.
“Can you really lend me money?” Meredith asked, “How much are you willing to lend me?”
“Of course.” Pointing at himself, he added, “Take a good look at me, even though my wealth is not
comparable to Josiah’s, I am wealthy too. I can lend you however much you need.” “Can you lend me a
million dollars then?” “A million dollars?!” Liam turned to look at her.
