"What use is there? Will Nia come back to life?" Josiah's grandmother hit him on the back. She suddenly threw her walking stick aside and sobbed miserably, "My little Nia! My great-granddaughter! I have not even seen her before and she's already dead. Woo, woo…""Grandma…""It's all your fault! You jerk!" Josiah's grandmother did not have her walking stick with her anymore. She used her hands instead, hitting him. "Leave! I don't want to see you anymore!""Grandma, come on."Josiah was already depressed. After being reprimanded by his grandmother, he felt worse.He picked up her walking stick. "Grandma, continue hitting me."If hitting him could relieve her of her anger, he would feel better too. However, his grandmother no longer wanted to hit him or see him.She threw the walking stick to the other side. "Leave!"Seeing how his grandmother refused to see him, he could only give in. "Grandma, take care. I'll make a move first."He turned around and was about to leave when his
"I…" Margot knew that this was impossible, but she still nodded to console Ysabelle. She said, "Okay. Don't be scared. I'll go beg him to save you."Ysabelle was taken away by the police. Margot stood alone by the sealed mansion and fell to the ground, breaking down.After a while, she got up and headed to the hospital. She could not enter Meredith's ward, so she could only wait by the lobby. She finally waited until Josiah's appearance.She immediately ran to him and said with tears on her face, "Mister Josiah, I beg you…to please let Ysabelle go."Josiah stopped in his tracks. He coldly looked at her. "What happened to Ysabelle?""Mister Josiah, don't you know what happened to her? She was taken away by the police!""Oh, why is that?"Margot was speechless.Josiah said, "I'm sorry, she has done so many terrible things. I don't know which one you are referring to."Margot was struck in tears, but she still had to beg. "Mister Josiah, regarding Leah's incident, Ysabelle did no
Margot realized that her tactics did not work. She immediately ran up to plead with him again, "Mister Josiah, Ysabelle is Meredith's sister, her last family member alive. I beg you not to hurt her.""Mrs. Leighton, all Edith needs is me." Josiah stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "Also, Nia will come back.""You…" Margot continued, "can you help her, seeing how she always had feelings for you?"Josiah no longer bothered with her. Margot wanted to chase after him, but she was held back by a few bodyguards.All her grievances and anger formed into one loud bark, "Josiah, you will have your retributions for all the evil doing! You deserved every last bit of it, especially when your wife and child left you!"The doors of the lift slowly closed, slowly covering Josiah's cold and handsome face.…Meredith was hugging a bouquet of fresh roses. She was extremely delighted.The sunlight shone in, emphasizing her delighted expression and the roses, making it seem even more beautif
Josiah was quite relieved. He lowered his head and smiled at her. "How is it? Do you like it here?""I do. It's huge.""As long as you like it."Lily was already waiting inside for some time. When she saw Meredith, she immediately welcomed her in. "Miss Meredith, you're finally home. It's great!"Josiah coughed gently and reminded her. "You have to call her Ma'am.""Oh, right. How forgetful of me." Lily slapped her forehead and said, "Ma'am, don't stand outside for too long. Come in and have some food.""She is Lily. She has been always caring for you," Josiah introduced Lily to Meredith.Meredith nodded. "Thank you, Lily."Lily saw how Meredith seemed a little distant, she had mixed feelings about that, but as long as she survived and returned home. Josiah brought Meredith to the master bedroom upstairs.Meredith asked quietly, "T-This is our room? Why don't I remember anything about it?""Isn't that normal for you? You'll just have to get reacquainted with it." Josiah sca
The woman that looked worse than a ghost was…herself?If the background was not the hospital and the woman in the photo was not carrying a bouquet of roses, also how they were being surrounded and photographed in the hospital a moment ago, Meredith would not have thought that it was her.She instinctively raised her hand to touch the left side of her face. She previously felt that something was off with the left side of her face but because there were no mirrors at the hospital and no one told her about it, she did not have the chance to get to the bottom of it.At that moment, she saw the photos. The bumps of her scars on her face was like an electric shock to her. She immediately retracted her hand."No, no…." Meredith shook her head. "I do not look like that. I'm not that ugly…"Meredith muttered to herself to console herself, yet she involuntarily turned her head to look at over at the mirror.Looking at the huge mirror, she could not muster the courage to walk over to have a
"Then, take me to the hospital to see the doctor right now!" Meredith said and pulled him along."Edith, we can't do it now." Josiah pulled her back."Why? Why can't we?" Meredith's every word was in an aggressive tone.Josiah could only patiently explain, "Because you just got hurt. If you were to undergo any surgery right now, it would be dangerous, so, let's wait for a while before going, alright?""No! I don't want to wait! I don't want to see myself being so ugly!" Meredith grabbed Josiah by his clothes and shook him hard. She screamed, "Josiah, why won't you help me? Are you doing this on purpose? Don't you like me? Do you want me to be ugly forever?"Josiah saw how Meredith was getting more and more agitated, her screams getting louder. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.Sure enough, Meredith quieted down. She struggled in his arms for a while before she stopped moving.Under his kisses, she calmed down gradually. Her hands grabbing his clothes also loosened…
He quickly flipped through her browsing history. Thankfully, there was no news regarding Nia.He walked out of the bedroom and dialed Wesley."Delete all of the news about me and Meredith on that website. I don't care whether it's positive or negative.""Yes, Mister Josiah."Half an hour later, news about two of them no longer existed on the website. Josiah returned the phone to Meredith.…At night, Josiah came out of his shower to see Meredith lying in bed looking at her phone. Meredith had already showered. She was wearing an ordinary cotton pajama skirt and because she was lying tummy down on the bed, it naturally showed off her fair legs.It was adorable and seductive, yet elegant."What are you looking at?" Josiah walked over to her while drying his hair off with the towel.When he saw that the contents on the phone had nothing to do with him, he was relieved."I'm looking at the news," Meredith said pitifully, "what a poor child. They don't have money to cure her sickn
"Let's stick to Nia. I like the name.""Okay, whatever you say."Josiah touched his hair and realized that it was almost dry. He threw the towel aside and pressed Meredith on the bed. His large hand traveled up her legs.Meredith widened her eyes in fear. "Joe, what are you doing?""We're husband and wife. What else could we be doing?" Josiah kissed her on the lips. "Don't tell me that you have also forgotten how to do such things?"Meredith's face was hot, but she did not refuse him. She naturally accepted him, treating him as her husband whom she loved the most.Thinking back about it, they have never been so harmonious in bed before. Four or five years back, it was a marriage of convenience for the family. Meredith liked Josiah a lot, but Josiah did not love her. He even hated the arranged marriage.Back then, although he was obsessed with her body, it was always her who initiated.When they saw each other again, she hated him to the bone. Every time, he was the one that for
