Josiah!Did he think that he was the only one with boundaries and bottom lines?She had them too!Nia was her boundary, her bottom line, but he never cared."Ma'am, you should have some breakfast first." Mister Yoseph said.Meredith was not in the mood to eat breakfast. She sat up quietly from the hospital bed and said, "Is Zade in the orthopedics department? I'll go see him." "Yes." Mister Yoseph did not stop her.The orthopedics department was downstairs. Meredith heard Zade's painful howl as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. Meredith's heart ached.As she approached, she could still hear Zya's cry. "Brother, how many times have I told you that Meredith is not someone you can mess around with, so why don't you listen?""That Josiah, I'm not finished with him!" Zade roared angrily."You're already like this, how dare you challenge him!?" Zya cried and said, "Can't you let go of Meredith and live your own life? Our parents are old and still waiting for you. Just conc
Crest Care Hospital was the hospital with the highest medical rating in Jehovah City. Zade's legs were injured by Josiah. Naturally, only Crest Care Hospital could cure him."Meredith, why don't you talk? Don't you want to help my brother?" Zya cried even more. "Edith, I know it was too much for my brother to cause your miscarriage, but he did it out of love for you. It's because he loves you too much. Can you forgive him once?""Zya," Meredith said bitterly, "I have long since let go of that matter, and I don't blame Zade anymore. Apart from using each other, Zade and I don't have the kind of feelings we used to have.""How could it be? My brother still loves you very much. Otherwise, why would he go to the hospital to see you and offend Josiah?""Since the incident in the western suburbs, Zade no longer loves me. Apart from some feelings of unwillingness, Zade only uses me to get revenge on Josiah."Meredith took a bitter breath and said, "Seriously, I wouldn't love this kind of
"Yes," Meredith said firmly.After much deliberation, this method was the most suitable.She suddenly pulled out a knife from behind and pointed at him. "Josiah, listen to me, if you don't let Zade go, I'll kill myself right away!"The tip of the knife turned and touched her neck.The silver-white knife light shined into Josiah's eyes, and he could not help closing his eyes for a second.The expression on his face became even colder. "Meredith, it seems that you don't feel that I care about you. Otherwise, you wouldn't threaten me with death.""Of course, I feel it. It's because you want to use me to stage a good husband character and stabilize your company.""Do you think my company is so fragile that I need you to maintain it?""..." Meredith did not want to talk nonsense with him, so she put the knife closer to her neck. "Stop talking nonsense, do you agree or not!"Seeing a trace of blood seeping out from her tender skin, Josiah's eyes moved slightly. He got up and walked
"That child was conceived to save Nia, and is not favored by anyone. Even if he is not poisoned to death, you and Ysabelle will not let him be born, right?""That's nonsense. Of course, I will let him be born." Josiah looked at her tearful eyes. "If you are worried about Zade's parents, I can give 10 million to his old man. If you want to be grateful to Zade's sister, I can give her the nightclub. It's only Zade that I cannot help. He is not qualified to live well.""..." Meredith was slightly startled.She did not expect that he would actually have such a coquettish operation. This man was really rich and willful."Money can't buy health, and no one wants to exchange their legs for money.""To put it bluntly, all you care about is him, not his parents or his sister.""No!""Then how would you know if he doesn't want to exchange his legs for such a rich fortune?" Josiah sneered.She took a deep breath and said in a very sincere tone, "I admit defeat."Josiah, please treat his
Jenny was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the person who came. "Miss Quinley? Why are you here?"Quinley glanced at the quiet Meredith before looking at Jenny displeasedly and said, "How could Josiah allow such a rude servant to stay with Meredith? No, I'll call Josiah now."Jenny panicked when she heard that she was going to call Josiah.If a cold-hearted person like Josiah found out, he would not even give her a chance to explain, and will fire her immediately.She was anxiously thinking about how to stop Quinley from calling, but Meredith on the hospital bed spoke first. "Quinley, stop calling."Quinley did not expect Meredith to stop her, so she put down the phone and asked, "What's wrong with you, Meredith? You're not afraid of even a servant, are you?""No." Meredith said, "I just think Jenny is right, I'm the one who was wrong."She did not want to tolerate Jenny, nor was she worried that Jenny would lose her job. She just needed someone like Jenny, who loved
She cleared her throat awkwardly and changed the topic, "Oh Meredith, I've made chicken soup for you. Finish it while it's hot."She brought the thermal flask over, opened the cover and passed it to Meredith. "Here, you can drink it from here.""Thank you but I'm not hungry yet, You can just leave it aside." Meredith had no appetite at all."It's only soup, you can just drink it like it's water," Quinley handed the flask to Meredith again and said, "Give my cooking a try, hmm? It's been a long time since you tried my cooking."Indeed, it has been quite some time.That year when Quinley wanted to get on her good side, she had made different kinds of food and desserts for Meredith and had them delivered to her house.Four years had passed. Quinley's cooking was still the same but her heart had changed.She even dared to poison the chicken soup.Meredith was after all a medical student and her mother was a perfume specialist. Of course Meredith was able to notice that the soup som
"Let her go!" Meredith shouted furiously at the nurses.One of the nurses who attended to Meredith earlier looked conflicted. "Miss Meredith, didn't I just tell you that Sir does not allow anyone to visit you during your time here in the hospital?"Meredith strode over and took Zya from them. She then glared furiously at the nurse and seethed, "Go tell Josiah Shelby that it was me who insisted on meeting Zya."She then walked Zya back into her room.Just when Meredith was about to ask why Zya was here, she was slapped across the face.Meredith froze.After all, the Zya that Meredith knew was gentle and soft. Even when she was harassed by customers, she would only cry and Meredith had never seen her hit anyone."Zya…""Meredith Leighton, just tell me if you never wanted to help me, why did you have to lie?" With tears in her eyes, Zya accused, "Meredith, you really have changed, haven't you? My brother was right when he said that you've become pretentious and vile. You're also f
It was as if Meredith read Jenny's mind so she added, "I also wanted to ask him about Zade's surgery. Could you please give a call and let him know?""Oh, okay. Let me make the call then." Jenny reached for her phone.It was Yoseph who answered the phone. At the mention that Meredith wanted to send food for Josiah, Yoseph did not think much into it and agreed.When Meredith arrived at Shelby Group, Josiah was in the middle of a meeting.Yoseph let her into Josiah's office and smiled. "I'm sure Sir would be happy when he knows that you're here to send him soup."Meredith simply tugged at the corners of her lips and said nothing more.Yoseph asked, "My apologies, Ma'am. Sir is in an important meeting and he'd only be done in twenty-minutes' time.""That's alright, I can wait."She had waited for him longer than that, twenty minutes was nothing to her.She was only worried that Josiah would not even give her the chance to wait."What would you like to drink, Ma'am? I'll prepare
