"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
Ysabelle froze.After a while, she finally came back to her senses and yelled into the phone, "Are you guys blind? How is it that you only find out about it now?"Fuming with rage, Ysabelle then ended the call.After racking her brain for some time, Ysabelle called Miss Linda again and said to her, "See you at our old place. I'll teach you how to get rid of both of them…"…"Edith, guess what good food I've brought you today?" Qira asked. In the small darkroom, Qira was beaming like stars in the night sky."Hmm, let me guess. Eggs? Or fruits?"As Qira was mentally unstable, Meredith had been interacting with Qira like her younger sister.In the past five months, Meredith was forced to work, forced to eat cold bread and cold pasta, and forced to give blood to Yena.If it was not for Qira, her child would have died of hunger."You guessed it wrong, it's a chicken drumstick!" Qira took out a drumstick behind her back and beamed. "Edith, I've saved this for you specially. Here, e
For the sake of staying alive, Meredith used all the strength left in her to get up from the floor, but no matter how much she tried, she remained on the floor.Just when she was about to give up on all hope, she heard someone opening the door, followed by Qira's anxious voice. "Edith, don't worry! I'm here to save you!""Qira…I'm here…" Meredith cried as she was relieved. "Hurry up…go get help!"Qira though did not leave Meredith alone, instead, she barged into the woodshed that was burning."No…don't come in!" Meredith yelled."Edith, I'm here to save you and the baby," said Qira, who was clueless. As Qira was mentally unstable, she did not have any idea of how dangerous the situation was.By the time she appeared in front of Meredith, Qira was gasping for air due to the heavy smoke.However, she still tried her best to pull Meredith who was lying on the floor."Qira, I can't hold it any longer…my stomach is really painful, go please, leave me and save yourself…""No! I have
Mister Yoseph was slightly taken aback but replied, "Not that I'm aware of, sir. The psychiatric hospital is having a dinner party tonight.""Did Meredith join?""Sir, I heard from the warden that Miss Meredith is not allowed to leave her room. Hence I think that she wouldn't be attending the dinner party.""True," Josiah scoffed.Josiah knew that Meredith was a woman with pride. It was impossible that she would lower herself and attend a dinner with a group of patients with mental issues."Sir, if you would like to hear about Miss Meredith, I can call the warden right away.""It's fine, leave it," Josiah said.Though Josiah rejected his secretary's request, he could not help himself but dialed the warden's phone number on his phone.However, the warden was not picking up.Meredith used up almost all the strength in her and finally delivered her child.Meredith, who was still in a daze, vaguely heard Miss Linda who was saying, "Throw the child into the fire."Upon hearing th
"She leaped off from the cliff after stabbing me," Ysabelle bawled and continued, "Josiah, what should we do? Meredith is dead…I can't believe that she's dead…"The warden was terrified when he received the news that he had failed to keep Meredith safe. Hence Ysabelle suggested to the warden to announce that Meredith was dead.After all, Ysabelle was the one who encouraged Meredith to take her own life. It was impossible for her to be alive after jumping off the cliff.Ysabelle desperately wanted Meredith to die. She was hell-bent on getting rid of Meredith from Josiah's life.Josiah felt his stomach drop.Staring at Ysabelle dazedly, Josiah stuttered, "What…what did you say?"Ysabelle hung her head low and started sobbing again."Say it again! Who is dead?!""Josiah…Meredith…she's…""Shut up!" Josiah snapped angrily. It was as if he was reluctant to hear about the news, he then shouted, "Get the hell out of here!"Ysabelle had achieved what she wanted, hence she had no inten
Meredith felt as if she had arrived in a different world.She thought that she was in heaven. But no matter how hard she tried to find a ray of light, only darkness surrounded her.And within the darkness, she tried to search for her child.It was as if her child had disappeared into thin air. Her child was nowhere to be found no matter how hard she searched.Just when she was about to give up hope, Meredith heard a weak voice calling out to her. "Mommy, save me…"Meredith rushed towards where the voice came from and reached out her hands to grab her child's hand. But she was one step too late.Meredith watched her child get swallowed into the darkness while she did nothing."Nia!" Meredith cried as she sat up abruptly.Opening her eyes, it was only then Meredith realized that she was sitting in a corner of the washroom at the club.'It's the same nightmare…' Meredith sighed under her breath as she thought to herself.She had been having a similar nightmare throughout the p
