How could a mentally unstable person drive around at night? This had to be done deliberately!Meredith suddenly thought about Zade Brooks. Back then, because of her, Josiah found someone to cripple him.At that moment, Charlie had the same fate. This had to be Josiah's doing!Meredith left the hospital and rushed over to Josiah's mansion. Seeing her return, Lily was surprised and delighted. She pulled Meredith over to ask about her.The moment she finished asking, Lily realized Meredith's expression was not right. She immediately asked concernedly, "Ma'am, what happened? Why does it looks like you have just cried?""Where's Josiah?" Meredith asked."He is upstairs with Nia in bed, but at this time, Nia should be asleep already.""Nia is here?" Meredith asked again.Old Madam Shelby called that day to say that she missed Nia and asked Meredith to send Nia to the old house so that she could play with her.Meredith thought about how she and Charlie had no time to be with Nia that
Josiah was worried that Meredith's yells would wake Nia up. He pulled her to a guest room and closed the door shut.Meredith thought that Josiah was afraid. She shrugged him off. "Josiah, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your daughter would know how cruelly you harm others?"Josiah grabbed Meredith by the wrist once more. He glared at her. "Meredith, you barely say anything and start hitting me. Can't you talk nicely?""Talk nicely? Is there any use for that?" Meredith fumed, "You crashed into Charlie so badly. Are you planning to ask me to kneel and beg you to let him go like how I did for Zade back then?"Josiah furrowed his brows. "What are you talking about? Since when I have crashed Charlie into… What?""You dare to say that you didn't send men to do it?" Meredith pointed at the door with both her hands. "The doctor said that Charlie's legs have been completely crippled. Are you satisfied? Can you stop it already then?"Josiah looked at the tears on her face. Afte
Lily always thought that Josiah and Meredith would reconcile sooner or later. Especially after seeing Nia return, she believed it even more so.She never expected this outcome.Lily looked at Josiah and saw a hit of disappointment in his eyes. From the way they argued, it was most likely unsalvageable.Sigh.…Charlie was transferred out of the intensive care unit the next day.After the anesthesia wore off, he was in unbearable pain, but when he saw Meredith's worried-looking face, he comforted her on the contrary, "Meredith, don't worry. I'm fine."Meredith did not dare to tell him that his legs were crippled. She only bore through her tears and nodded.Mary looked at him and felt even worse, so much so she could not say a single word. She simply found an excuse and left."By the way, Meredith, are you alright?" Charlie suddenly remembered that Meredith had fallen to the ground too during the crash."I'm fine." Meredith shook her head. She grabbed his hand and said moving
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't say anything anymore. I know you like her the best," Mary said while rolling her eyes at Charlie.Meredith entered with the oatmeal porridge she just made.Seeing Charlie awake, she immediately smiled and said, "Charlie, you're up. Are you feeling better?""Meredith, the pain is still quite unbearable."Meredith reached out and ruffled his head. "Don't hold it in. When it hurts, yell out. It feels better. I won't laugh at you."Charlie took her hand from his head and said, "Meredith, haven't I said it before? Don't touch or pat my head. It feels like you're doting on a child."Charlie was most unwilling to admit that he was still a kid, especially in front of Meredith."Oh, I forgot."Meredith turned around and poured the oatmeal porridge out from the thermos. She put it in front of him and said gently, "Charlie, let's eat some.""Meredith, what sort of oatmeal porridge did you make for me? It smells amazing.""Of course, it's the one that you like.
"Okay, just like before," Nia said.Hearing their conversation, Meredith's nose turned sore. She turned around, not daring to look at them.Nia spent some time with Charlie for a while before sitting at the table beside him and doing her homework.Meredith was prepared to feed Charlie dinner.Charlie accepted the cutlery and bowl. "Meredith, thank you. I'll do it on my own.""It's fine, it's nothing.""You have to work during the daytime, then you have come to visit me during mealtimes. How could it be nothing?" Charlie said heartbrokenly, "Meredith, actually you don't have to come to see me. There's a caretaker.""I don't find it tough." Meredith patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry."After having dinner with Charlie, Meredith was about to send Nia home.She opened the door and surprisingly saw Josiah standing outside of the door. Her expressions instantly changed. She said with a suppressed tone, "What are you doing here?""I'm here to see Charlie.""See him? To make h
"They haven't solved it for the time being. It's still ongoing," Meredith casually explained, "but I heard the police say that the one who was driving was a mentally unstable patient. His condition flared up, which was why he crashed into us."Subconsciously, Meredith did not hope that Charlie found out that it was done by Josiah. After all, they were cousins. She did not hope that their relationship would turn for the worse. Meredith suddenly thought about what Josiah said, so she said to Charlie, "Charlie, rest for a while. I'll go down to get some fruits.""Okay." Charlie nodded.After Meredith left, she took her phone out and dialed Josiah. Josiah's cold voice came from the phone, "Is there anything else?""Yes. Please wait up for me." Meredith quickly entered the lift.Soon after, she was by Josiah's car.She reached out and patted Nia on the head. "Nia, why don't you go to the car to wait for a while? Mommy has something to say to Daddy."Nia nodded obediently.Josiah h
Meredith was struck dumb by his comment.Josiah said that he did not do it. She did not believe him.As for whether he was going to find Charlie the best doctor, she did not know, which was why she came to beg him."Charlie is your cousin. I hope that you didn't hurt him," Meredith said.Josiah shoved her to the side, opened the car door, and got in.Meredith secretly gritted her teeth. When she turned to face the car once more, she was already smiling. She waved at Nia. "Bye Nia. Sleep early.""Goodbye, Mommy." Nia waved at her.Meredith returned to the ward with heavy footsteps. Charlie measured her empty hands up. He asked curiously, "Meredith, weren't you getting fruits? Where are they?"Then only Meredith remembered that she was supposed to buy fruits. She immediately lied and said, "I wanted to buy some cherries for you, but they ran out!""Oh, no worries. I don't have to eat them." Charlie did not mind one bit."Charlie, I'll deal with some emails. Do you want to watch
After an hour, the man was sent in.Meredith measured the skinny man up. He saw her too, then his expression slowly turned into surprise.Clearly, he recognized her."You know me?" Meredith got up from the sofa, walked over to him, and asked, "That's strange. If you were to accidentally crash into me, how do you know me?"The man calmly shook his head. "No, I don't know you.""But your expressions sold you out. You know me. From this, I could see that the day of the accident was not the first time you saw me." Meredith pretended to ponder for a while. "Let me guess. Someone must have shown you a photo of me and my husband so that you could crash into us, right""No. No. It's nothing like that." The man shook his head. "Miss, you're mistaken. I really don't know you."Meredith took out a check from her back and raised it in front of him. "This is twenty-thousand dollars. All you need to do is tell me whether someone ordered you to do this, and who was the one who ordered you to d
