Chapter 170 “Mom-“Grabbing tightly onto her mother’s hand, Meredith cried, “Mom! Didn’t you say you were only
going to take a nap? How could you lie to me? Hurry up and wake up now -” “I’m really going to get mad at you if
you don’t wake up! I’m not going to talk to you anymore! Mom…please wake up, hmm? Please don’t leave…”
No matter how much she cried, Alayna did not wake up.
Seeing how Meredith was crying her heart out, one of the nurses could not help but try to comfort her, “Miss, my
deepest sympathies but your mom is already gone.”
“No! She will never abandon me like that, she will wake up!” Meredith tried to stop the nurses from pushing her
mom away. Shaking her head frantically as tears rolled down her cheeks, she said, “Give me a moment, I’ll ask
Josiah for help! I’ll go beg him! I’m willing to give him my life!” The nurses exchanged a look with each other and

They simply assumed that Meredith had lost her mind from the shock of her mother’s sudden passing.
Meredith was pulled away by force from her mother’s bed. Her cries got louder and louder as she could only watch
her mother being pushed away. “Why won’t you guys give me some time? Why! Why!!”
In the end, Meredith passed out from being too worked up.
Slamming down a file against the desk, Josiah yelled, “Where is everyone? Is there anyone else who is working in
this house?!” Lily scurried into his study room. “Sir, what can I help you with?”
“Is Meredith dead or not?”.
“Get her back here at once and make me a coffee if she isn’t dead!”
Taking a glimpse at the coffee cup that was empty, Lily replied carefully, “Sir, Miss Meredith is still in the hospital. I
can make you a cup of coffee if you’d like some.”
Lily knew that the coffee she brewed was not comparable to Meredith’s and

Josiah had never once tried her coffee.
But aside from Alfred, there was no one else in the house. Besides, Alfred was not good at brewing coffee either.
“Did she really have to be kept in the hospital just for the petty wound of hers? I want her back here at once!”
Josiah seethed frustratedly.
Lily did notice that Josiah was simmering in anger the moment he got back from the hospital. She knew that Josiah
would explode in rage if Meredith continued staying in the hospital.
Just when Lily was about to leave the room, Ysabelle walked inside with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Startled, Lily greeted her with a nod and left the room. Ignoring Lily, Ysabelle walked toward Josiah. “Josiah, I knew
that you would need a cup of coffee at this time to relieve some of your stress.” Glancing at her with a look of
annoyance on his face, Josiah said, “I thought I made it clear that no visitors are allowed in this house.” Ysabelle’s
expression changed slightly. “Josiah, I didn’t know that I am considered an outsider too.”
“If not?”
“Well, why is Meredith allowed in here then?”
“Are you the same as Meredith?”
“Of course not!” Ysabelle continued, “I definitely don’t have the guts to harm Yena, or to stab you, and even kill Miss
Leah.”
Ysabelle’s words were like knives stabbing into his heart.
Seeing how Josiah’s expression darkened little by little, Ysabelle quickly added, ” Alright now, Josiah. I know you
aren’t in a good mood and I simply thought of checking up on you. Nothing else, really.” “Now that you’ve seen me,
can you leave now?”
