Chapter 167 Lily went to check on Meredith the first thing when she got home from getting groceries. She was
aghast and horrified by the sight of Meredith laying in a pool of blood.
Quivering in fear, Lily quickly made a call to Josiah.
Josiah was in the middle of a meeting in the meantime and Yoseph was supposed to update Josiah’s personal
matters after the meeting.
However, at the news of Meredith wanting to commit suicide , he had to inform Josiah. Indeed, at the mention of
Meredith trying to kill herself, Josiah’s face darkened.” How is she?”
Yoseph shook his head. “Lily sounded like she was in a bad shock and she was stuttering. But I’ve asked her to call
for the ambulance right away.” Josiah got up onto his feet abruptly and walked toward the door of the meeting hall.
Mister Yoseph informed the attendees of the meeting. “Something urgent came up and requires Mister Josiah’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtimmediate attention. That’ll be all for the meeting today.” He then quickly followed up to Josiah.
By the time Josiah had arrived at the hospital, Meredith was already in the emergency ward.
With a cold, hard expression, Josiah asked, “How is she?”
Lily, who was still sobbing, shook her head. “I’m not sure. She was bleeding so much…I don’t know if she’s going to
survive this…”
“The doctors? Are they still in there?” asked Mister Yoseph.
“Not yet.” As soon as Lily replied, the doctor was seen walking out of the emergency ward.
“Doctor, how is Miss Meredith?” Mister Yoseph asked.
With a look of relief on his face, the doctor replied, “Don’t worry. Even though Miss Meredith suffered blood loss
from the cut on her wrist, her life is not at risk.
Everyone finally felt a sense of relief.
Yet at the same time, Josiah had his brows furrowed tightly together.
Walking into the emergency ward, as he expected, Meredith had regained her consciousness. Even though her
wrist was bandaged, she did not look like someone who was about to die.
Meredith did not expect Josiah to visit her. Startled, she quickly shut her eyes.
Studying her, Josiah scoffed coldly, “Meredith Leighton, you cut yourself just to escape from the basement, didn’t
you? You’re indeed something else, aren’t you?
Josiah found it ridiculous that he actually dropped his work and rushed all the way to the hospital as soon as he
heard that she tried to take her own life.
Indeed, Meredith could not be trusted.
With tears rolling down her cheeks, Meredith cried, “Josiah, can’t you use another method to torture me instead? I
really can’t take this any longer!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Just a few days of being locked up in the basement and you’re already complaining that it’s unbearable? What
about Miss Leah whom you killed? And have you even thought about how Yena would feel when she knew that her
mother was killed? Wouldn’t it be more unbearable for her?”
“Is that why you plan to kill my mom to take revenge for Yena? To vent your anger?” Opening her bloodshot and
swollen eyes slowly, Meredith stared directly into Josiah’s eyes. Gritting his teeth, Josiah seethed, “Don’t bring up
the mention of your mom. I don’t want to know!”
“Josiah Shelby, no matter how much you resent me, that is my mom! Can’t you be kinder to her?” Falling over from
the bed, Meredith tugged at his sleeves and begged, “Please save my mom, I’m begging you, Josiah. Let her get
treated, please? I can’t afford to lose her and Nia too…argh!”
Meredith was flung across the room.
Josiah’s face darkened even more as he hissed, “….and don’t you f*cking dare to bring up that b*stard’s child’s
name!”
