"Are you sure? She's not hurt or has any other symptoms?" Meredith pressed on.Josiah brought Nia back to the mansion but did nothing to her? Meredith found it hard to believe."Hmm, I found nothing at the moment." Alayna pointed at Alfred on the other end of the corridor and said, "By the way, he was the one who sent Nia to the hospital."It was then only Meredith noticed Alfred. A hint of surprise flashed across her face. She said, "Alfred, long time no see."Alfred was the Shelbys' butler. Ever since Yena was injured, Josiah provided for Leah and transferred Alfred to his mansion.Alfred was not well acquainted with Meredith. He did not know her too well, so he did not know whether the terrible things she did in the past were true or fake.His stance was neutral at that moment. He said, "That child passed out in the mansion just now, so I sent her to the hospital.""Thank you, Alfred," Meredith said thankfully."You don't have to thank me. I only ask that you treat Mister Jo
Just at the thought of her, Josiah wanted to find that woman and tear her to pieces.Alfred saw how Josiah's face was filled with resentment, he could not help but comfort Josiah. "Sir, I saw Miss Meredith at the hospital. It doesn't feel like she is this sort of person.""If I did not see it with my own eyes, I would not believe that she could be so cheap too.""I think this…""Enough. Alfred, you don't have to say anymore." Josiah interrupted impatiently. He did not want to hear that woman's name anymore.Alfred gave up seeing how cold and hardened Josiah's stance was.…Meredith anxiously paced back and forth at the entrance of the emergency room. She wanted to rush in to check up on Nia.Suddenly, she heard a thud. She turned back to look and saw Alayna, who was initially on the chair, on the ground."Mom!" Meredith immediately rushed over. "Mom, are you alright? Don't you scare me!"Alayna's face was pale. She lay on the ground without moving.Meredith immediately yelle
"Edith, everything will get better."Meredith nodded. She believed that everything would get better. She could only believe it! After resuscitating, Nia's condition was considered stable. Looking at Nia lying sickly on the bed, Meredith's tears, which she had tried hard to stop a moment ago, fell again. She held onto Nia's hand tightly, afraid to lose her once again. She sniffled and asked the attending doctor, "Doctor, didn't you say that Nia could head home to recuperate? Why did she pass out because she missed an injection?"The doctor looked at Nia and said, "Perhaps, because she suddenly stopped her treatment, she could not adjust to it. We need to do it gradually, to lessen the dosage each time, so that she can slowly adapt to it. No matter what, be more careful in the future, don't let her run out of the hospital next time."Meredith nodded. "Okay, I got it."Once the doctor left, Meredith stayed by Nia's bed looking after her. It was until evening only Nia finally start
"Because he smells like what daddy should smell like."Smells like daddy? What smell was that? Meredith could not imagine."Nia, that's all fake, but don't worry. I will find daddy back.""Will you?""Hmm, so if you see him again in the future, stay away from him, please?"Nia furrowed her brows and stayed silent."Edith, what do you plan to do?" Once Nia fell asleep once again, Alayna asked worriedly.Meredith said bitterly, "Mom, I don't know, except the fact that we cannot let Nia go near that jerk Josiah anymore.""Does he really hate Nia that much?""I guess so. When I got pregnant back then, he told me that even if Nia was his, he would not want her, so…" Meredith shook her head guiltily. "Mom, I'm useless. I should have changed Nia to another hospital.""Where else can you go?""Yes, where else could we go?"Without mentioning the transferring fees and the exorbitant amount needed to do a check-up once more, Josiah was onto her at that moment. Would he just let her g
Far away from Josiah… Meredith could only dream about it. It was not that simple."Zade, I think you're being a little bit impulsive right now. Why don't you go back and calm down for a few days." Meredith patted Zade's arm. "Think about your parents and your siblings. Are you willing to abandon them?""Don't worry. I'm leaving Jehovah City for a change of scenery. I'm not abandoning them. Once we settle down, I'll still take good care of them."Zade grabbed Meredith's hands once again. "Edith, I only need you to nod your head and agree. Will you leave Jehovah City with me?""I'll consider it.""Okay, I'll wait for you.""Zade, go back home first." Yena was staying in the same hospital and Josiah would often come to visit. It would be bad if he saw them.Alayna came out from the ward and looked in the direction in which Zade was leaving. She said, "Edith, it's rare to meet such a good guy. You should consider it properly.""Mom, it's because Zade's a good guy, which is why I
"Who are you? What are you doing?" Meredith frantically struggled.When the lobby manager saw someone causing chaos, he immediately brought men over and surrounded them. He asked angrily, "Where are you guys from! Are you here to cause trouble?!"The manager and his crew might outnumber the two men, but all the two men needed to say was, "Sir, are you sure you want to steal the Luna Club's staff?"One sentence was all it took for the manager's expressions to change.The Luna Club was bought over by Mister Josiah of the Shelby Group. This was a piece of news that had been spread around like wildfire for the past few days. The lobby manager naturally would have heard about it.Who would dare go up against Josiah Shelby? Unless they did not want to live anymore."She's…from the Luna Club?" The lobby manager stuttered."Yes. She is bound by a contract."Meredith's expressions changed. She immediately said, "Mister Lowe, don't listen to them. I have already quit the Luna Club."Eve
"I don't blame you." Josiah looked at Meredith on the floor coldly. "Miss Meredith wanted to run away. No one could stop her. I hope there isn’t a next time. I mean it."He lifted Meredith's chin once again and looked at her indifferently. "You hear me?"He squeezed Meredith until it hurt. Meredith's eyes were wet."Now, go drink with the customers." He flung her violently to the ground.Josiah got up from the sofa. Before he left, he said to Miss Josie, "Keep an eye on her.""Yes, Mister Josiah," Miss Josie replied with a nod.The moment Josiah left, Miss Josie said to Meredith helplessly, "Merelyn. Since you have a feud with Mister Josiah, can you just try to be better? Don't drag me down."Meredith looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Miss Josie, can you help me? I did not break that bottle of wine. If you don't pay me, my daughter…""Enough, stop talking about your daughter constantly," Miss Josie said angrily, "you know better than anyone else what Mister Josiah is like.
To earn enough money so that she could run away, Meredith went all out.She raised her hand and knocked on the door. She only entered after permission was given. Only a man and a girl were in the room. The girl was on the man's lap. She was exactly like what Meredith's colleague said, limp. There was a crutch next to the sofa.The girl was also like how the colleagues said she was reluctant to be at a place like that. Her face was filled with fear and tears.Mister Quinn was extremely unhappy at Meredith's arrival. "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"Meredith took a glance at the girl and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mister Quinn. Miss Josie got me to offer you my company.""You?" Mister Quinn swept Meredith a gaze and said fiercely, "Who needs you? Can't you see I'm busy?""Mister Quinn, Miss Josie said that when you brought this girl in, she was being watched. Miss Josie was afraid that you might get in trouble, so she got me to swap places with the girl.""This is my
