"Get out!" Josiah ordered coldly.Glancing at the cold but perfectly-sculptured face of his, Ysabelle secretly swore that like Meredith, she too would make Josiah her husband."Alright, I'll leave. Remember to finish the soup," said Ysabelle before she left the room.Instead of drinking the soup, Josiah got ready to visit Yena at the hospital.Josiah only returned late at night.Upon seeing Miss Leah, the maid who was cleaning the house, he asked with a straight face, "Has Meredith admitted to her wrongdoings?""No. She remained adamant that she did not push Yena," replied Miss Leah whose eyes were red-rimmed, and added, "Sir, will Yena be alright?""Don't worry, she will regain her consciousness," said Josiah without saying anything else before heading up to the second floor.Just when he was about to go up the stairs, he noticed the Tibetan Mastiff who was supposed to be in the backyard."Who let it in?" Josiah asked as he furrowed his brows tightly.Josiah did not seem to
Looking at Meredith who was lying lifelessly on the hospital bed, Finn uttered carefully, "Josiah, she's willing to risk her own life to save Yena's, are you really sure that…there isn't some kind of misunderstanding?""I've seen the video. There's no mistake." Looking irritated, Josiah frowned and added, "Doctor Finn, cut the nonsense and just tell me if she's going to die."Giving up on trying to persuade Josiah, Finn simply shrugged and answered, "The test results are not back yet."As soon as he finished his sentence, a nurse entered the patient ward with the test results. With a serious tone, she said, "Mister Josiah, Doctor Finn, the test results show that Miss Meredith is pregnant."Josiah's eyes lit up briefly upon hearing the nurse's remarks.However, the light in his eyes dimmed immediately and in an aloof manner, he asked, "What did you say?"Finn took the test report from the nurse and scanned through the report quickly before concluding, "Congratulations, Josiah! Mis
With a straight face, Meredith answered, "Sorry to disappoint.""Why would I be disappointed?" Ysabelle laughed and added, "The child is not even Josiah's. Did you really think that Josiah would care about that child of yours?"The look on Meredith's face changed and she snapped, "Ysabelle Layne, don't you dare vilify me and my child!"There was no way the child did not belong to Josiah as Josiah was the only man in her life.Even the night when she drugged, nothing happened between Yoel and her."Well, the video of you cheating on Josiah is already spread across town. I'm sure the video speaks for itself, so why do I need to accuse you?" Leaning toward Meredith's ear, Ysabelle sneered, "If I say that the child isn't Josiah's, then the child isn't. You'll soon see what I'm talking about!"Ysabelle then turned around and left the room.Meredith's face was overcast. After the incident with Yena, she finally realized the lengths Ysabelle was willing to go just to get Josiah.Not
Hence, no. She would not."Why? Are you worried about your boyfriend? Or are you worried that that child of yours wouldn't have a father?""No, it's not like that…" Meredith shook her head, dropped the knife on the floor, tugged at the corners of Josiah's shirt, and pleaded, "Joe, I can't do it, I need to stay alive to take care of our kid…""Get your dirty hands off me," Josiah hissed. He was feeling suffocated as he recalled the video and how Meredith and Yoel were hugging each other and were about to escape.With all the strength in him, Josiah pushed Meredith off him.Meredith's head hit the corner of a table with a loud bang and she passed out immediately.Josiah did not even take another look at Meredith but instead glanced coldly at Yoel who was cowering at a corner.Yoel let out a painful shriek after getting furiously kicked by Josiah."Guys, get in here!" Josiah shouted.A few bodyguards rushed into the room."I don't care how you do it, just make sure that he is de
Feeling exhausted, Josiah pinched the center of his eyebrows, got up from his office chair, and was about to get off work.Josiah's assistant, Mister Wesley, knocked on his door before entering his office. He then reported, "Sir, the matter regarding Yoel Harper has been wrapped up."Josiah simply nodded and added, "I don't want to hear of him anymore from this minute onward.""Yes, sir," Mister Wesley nodded.Just when Mister Wesley was about to leave, Ysabelle was seen heading toward his director, looking all anxious. She said, "Josiah, Meredith had escaped from the hospital, I think she's going to find Yoel."Mister Wesley tried to shift his eyes rapidly to Ysabelle but before Ysabelle could get his hint, Josiah grabbed a glass on his desk, threw it at Ysabelle's legs, and growled, "How many times do I need to repeat myself? I said I don't want to hear that bastard's name!"Josiah was furious that Yoel had the audacity to sleep with his wife. Hence, just the mention of the bas
"You…you will pay for what you did!" Meredith cried out."If there's really karma, it should be you, the cold-hearted and ignorant Miss Leighton who deserves to be punished!"All these years, my mom and I have been walking on eggshells around you. Now it's time for you to get a taste of how it feels like," Ysabelle seethed and continued, "If it isn't because of Josiah who needs to use your blood to save Yena, I wouldn't even have kept you alive!"Ysabelle then removed her high heel from Meredith's hand.She then walked out of the room and said to the two working staff standing guard at the door, "You've heard what Director Josiah had said earlier, right? Do everything you can to tame her, but keep her alive.""Yes, Miss Ysabelle," answered the staff as they glanced at Meredith with looks of disdain on their face.Almost everyone was criticizing Meredith.After all, she was the first person who dared to cheat on Josiah, and even carried an illegitimate child.Meredith wanted to
The girl who was still sobbing a minute ago was now grinning from ear to ear when Meredith started eating.After clearing the bowl of pasta, Meredith looked up at the girl and thanked her, "Thank you for the food, I really appreciate it."With the empty bowl in her hands, the girl smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm happy as long as the baby is healthy.""Thank you, but…" Meredith noticed that the girl seemed somewhat mentally unstable, but still, she said to her, "Miss, can you please help me keep a secret and don't tell anyone about my child?""Why do we have to keep it a secret?""Because they are evil people out there who want to kill my baby, so I have to keep it a secret."Upon hearing that the baby might be in danger, the girl put a serious look on her face and pressed a finger on her lips making a hush sign. She then said, "Okay, we'll keep it a secret. We'll protect the baby."Meredith did not expect to meet a kind-hearted person even when she was in this miserable si
When she saw the needle being pierced into her skin followed by the red blood flowing out of her body into the blood bag, Meredith broke down.She did not know how much blood was taken from her body. All she felt was that her head and body felt light.In the end, Ysabelle put on an act and helped Meredith get back onto the bed. She then placed a thermos flask on a small table and said, "Meredith, I've made some chicken soup for you. Make sure you take them."Putting away the blood bags, Finn apologized to Meredith and left hurriedly.The look on Ysabelle's face changed again. Smirking, she said, "We need to make sure you're healthy, after all, we still need your blood to save Yena. Am I right, Meredith?"Laying on the bed, Meredith tried to make herself feel better."Meredith, this soup is really tasty. Would you like to try some?" Ysabelle asked as she placed the thermos flask in front of Meredith.Meredith of course wanted to drink. In any case, she must drink the soup.Str
