"No matter what, we'll talk about it when she comes around," Josiah said.Leah nodded. "Hmm, get Yena to wake up first, then we'll talk."After a moment of silence, Leah said once again, "I remembered when Yena saved you from the water, she passed out due to a high fever for a few days. Back then, everyone thought that she wouldn't wake up, but she came around after three days. I'm sure this time would be like this too. God would definitely look after her.""I'm sure.""By the way, Sir, I have thought about it, why don't I stay here and help out at home? I want to stay by Yena's side and take care of her."Leah was still talking when Josiah's mind was distracted. He saw Meredith approaching the main gate. His anger rose as she got closer to the gate."Sir," Leah called out with emphasis once again.Then only Josiah came to his senses. "What is it?""I said, I want to stay and take care of Yena. What do you think about it?""No need," Josiah said, "Miss Leah, you should retire
Leah could not help but mock, "Miss Meredith, weren't you just boasting to me this morning? Why have you ended up doing Yena's laundry?"Meredith paused her actions for a while. She said without lifting her head. "Yes, not only do I have to do Yena's laundry, but I also have to clean her up, change her clothes, and do other things too.""So, Mister Josiah got you back to seek revenge on you for your affair back then.""Yes, so please don't think otherwise, Miss Leah."Meredith wrung the clothes in the basin. She got up and looked at Leah. "But, I'm quite curious. Miss Leah, do you really believe that I was the one that pushed Yena down the stairs? Or are you only using this chance to get rid of me?""What do you mean by that? You didn't push Yena down the stairs? I saw the video.""Of course, it was not me," Meredith said and nodded. "But, it's fine. Even that idiot, Josiah, would not believe me, how would you believe me? Just treat me as the culprit then."Naturally, Leah did n
"Meredith always had tricks up her sleeves, right? Back then, she was the one that insisted on getting married to Josiah. Miss Leah, you have to be careful.""I will. Thank you for warning me, Ysabelle."Ysabelle said, "Miss Leah, Yena, and I were almost like sisters growing up together. You don't have to thank me.""Yes, for the past few years, only you treat my Yena the best," Leah said gratefully.Ysabelle smiled and headed upstairs to see Yena delightedly. At night, when Josiah returned, he found out that Ysabelle was there too. Ysabelle saw how he did not have a hint of surprise or welcome on his face, so she took the initiative to say, "Josiah, I was discharged today, so I just stopped by to see Yena.""Hmm," Josiah calmly responded.Ysabelle took his trench coat from his hands and smiled lightly. She said, "Josiah, isn't it the weekend today? Why are you not resting at home?""I had something going on.""It has been raining today, it's a little cold outside. Drink some
Ysabelle stood up from the chair and held onto Leah, who was so furious she was trembling. "Miss Leah, what happened? What happened to Yena?""It's her! She was the one that did something to Yena!" Leah pointed her trembling finger at Meredith. "Meredith, how could you be so cruel? It's not enough that you pushed Yena down the stairs and turn her into a vegetable. Why do you even want to harm her while she is unconscious? How could you be so vicious!"Meredith did not understand what Leah was talking about. However, she was sure there was a reason behind it. Ysabelle must have done something again. Also, Meredith was about to be punished for it again.She looked at Josiah and sure enough, Josiah's face was ice-cold. He was glaring at her furiously.Meredith collected her emotions and calmly asked, "Miss Leah, I have never harmed Yena. I wouldn't harm Yena because I hope she comes around quicker than anyone else.""Meredith! Don't you have a guilty conscience when you are saying th
Leah once again pounced at Meredith. She yelled angrily, "Meredith! What on earth did you do to Yena! What harm are you doing to her by pricking her head!""I already said that I didn't do it. Can't you look into it properly before hitting and yelling at me?" Meredith was instantly in a brawl with Leah.Leah was old, naturally, she was not as strong as Meredith. She was shoved to the ground by Meredith.Leah lay on the floor and yelled while sobbing, "How despicable! What on Earth did Yena do for you to do that to her? My poor Yena!"Then, Leah crawled over to Josiah's feet. She tugged and swayed his pants sleeve and begged, "Sir, my Yena should not have saved you back then. She should not have accepted your love. If not, she wouldn't have been harmed over and over again!"Ysabelle went over and helped Leah up while saying to Josiah, "Josiah, quickly get the doctors to check if the needles had caused Yena any permanent damage. Meredith has learned how to hurt people with needles b
"Thank you, Lily." Meredith was a little touched. "But just like you said, Josiah would never change his mind, so how could I let you kneel on my behalf?"To not cause Lily any trouble, Meredith immediately walked to the courtyard and knelt there.Although the rain was not heavy that day, the drizzle was still uncomfortably hitting her body.Meredith could not help but shudder. Her mind was filled with Nia and her mother. If she was to pass out again this time, what would happen to them? After the doctor's thorough check-up, he stated that the needle injuries did not harm Yena.Ysabelle secretly let out a sigh of relief. She tugged on Leah and comforted her, "Miss Leah, you can relax. The doctors said that those are just normal wounds. Perhaps Meredith just simply pricked Yena to take her anger out on her."Leah was still crying. She swore, "Even if she is angry, she can’t treat Yena this way! Yena is already pitiful enough. Other than these needles, I don't even know what else
"Why are you not dead yet!? Why are you not dead yet!?" Leah pulled Meredith's hair and wanted to continue knocking her head when Meredith counterattacked. She pulled Leah's hair and dragged her to the ground.Leah was furious. She spat angrily, "How dare you fight back! I will kill you!""Miss Leah, enough!" Meredith pinned Leah to the ground with all her might. Her quivering lips said into Leah's ears, "Look at the smug face behind the window downstairs. Look at it properly!"Although Leah was so furious that she wanted to kill Meredith, she still subconsciously looked at the window.It was Ysabelle. When Ysabelle met with Leah's eyes, she immediately retracted her expressions and instinctively retreated behind the curtains.Meredith sneered with reddened eyes. "Miss Leah, have you got a good look yet? The real perpetrator was never me! It was Ysabelle! The person who wants to get rid of Yena is also not me! It's Ysabelle! Josiah doesn't believe me because he hates me. He thinks
When Liam heard that Meredith was punished, forced to kneel under the rain for a few hours and was even beaten up by Leah yet Josiah still did not want to let her in, Liam could no longer just sit and watch.He immediately drove over to Josiah's mansion. When Lily saw him, she stopped him by the door and said worriedly, "Mister Liam, Sir might get even angrier if you interfere, so…please be careful."Lily would not have looked for Liam if she did not see how Meredith was injured and kneeling outside for so long. She was worried that Meredith would get sick like the last time too."Don't worry, I'll be careful of my ways," Liam said before heading to the backyard. He saw that Meredith was still kneeling in the rain. Her forehead was clearly injured too.Liam headed upstairs and kicked Josiah's study open. In the study, Ysabelle had only placed Josiah's supper down a minute ago and she was coaxing Josiah to have some food.When they heard the door kick open, the two of them jumped.
