Meredith finally remembered how she ended up in the hospital.She was dragged into the fire exit stairway and Charlie walked into them when she kissed Josiah…At the thought of this, Meredith grabbed Charlie's hands in hers and started apologizing instead, "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have…did what I did with Josiah. It is all my fault.""Edith, Josiah already told me everything. You only did what you did so that he would let me go," Charlie said.Even though Charlie did not believe everything that Josiah had said, there was nothing else that he could do aside from believing Josiah's words.Hence, Charlie was persuading himself to accept Josiah's explanation.Slightly startled, Meredith stared at him and asked, "Josiah told you everything?""He did.""Then did he also tell you how…how he is going to handle the accident?""He wants me to give you back to him, if not he'll lock me up in jail." Charlie pulled into a smile and went on, "But don't worry, Edith. I remembered that
And of course, Charlie respected her decision.Back then Charlie would ask for nothing more as long as Meredith was happy."Of course, I know you can take care of me but I want to have a career of my own," Meredith smiled.Meredith majored in medicine and at the same time, she was also interested in making her own perfume, just like her mother did.Now that the Leighton Group was back in business, Meredith had no choice but to give up on her interest and learn to manage a company. She was now the new leader of Leighton Group.Even though it was not her expertise, at least she had her own career."But the Leighton Group was acquired by the Shelby Group back then. Now that Josiah willingly handed the Leighton Group back into your hands, it's as if he had just put money right into your hands."Meredith did not expect that Charlie would suddenly care about this.Indeed, a paranoid person would tend to overthink every single thing.Meredith replied, "When Josiah and I divorced, he
Meredith tried to stop him. "Charlie, why not let Wilma do it instead?"Charlie ignored her and continued opening the lunchbox.After setting up the table, Charlie put a spoon next to Meredith's lips and said, "You've been taking care of me and it is now my turn to take care of you.""Let me do it instead." Meredith reached out her hands, wanting to take the bowl from his hands.Feeling upset, Charlie avoided her and said, "Am I that useless to you, Edith? Can't I even feed you?""It's not that. It's just that I don't need to be fed when my hands are fine."Even though her head was bandaged, just like Josiah's, she was able to move around just fine.She did not feel comfortable having someone to feed her.But Charlie insisted and she had no other choice but to let him have his way.Even though Josiah was back at his ward, he was still worried about Meredith.Josiah was worried that Charlie, who had been rather unstable, would hurt Meredith again.He was also wondering if Mer
She made sure that the curtains were drawn. Right when she was about to change, she heard heavy footsteps nearing her door and the sound of the door being pushed open.Startled, Meredith reflexively covered her body with her clothes."You…" Meredith stared at the man who showed up out of the blue.Smirking, Josiah continued her sentence, "Why am I here?"By the time she came back to her senses, Meredith immediately pushed him away. "Josiah Shelby, what more do you want from me? Get the hell out of here! Get away from me!"She did not want Charlie to find out that she had met with Josiah alone, again.Seeing how Meredith was covering her body with her clothes, Josiah grabbed the shirt from her hands, put it over her head, and zipped up her shirt."You'll catch a cold," Josiah said."..."Meredith was stunned by his swift movements but she quickly came back to her senses."What is it that you want, Josiah Shelby? If you're planning to do something that would make Charlie misund
The times when she lost her memories.Even though it had been quite some time and even though she did not want to recall those memories, Meredith still recalled some of them.Back then, she spent her days without any worries and all she did was look forward to Josiah coming home from work.Josiah had known Meredith for so many years but that was the only time when they were the happiest. Josiah thought that it was rather ironic, the situation that they were in."I don't remember," Meredith looked away."Yeah? Then come negotiate with me when you remember it."He then added, "Since I'm not welcomed here, I should probably head back. Goodbye.""Wait!" Meredith grabbed him by his arm."What's up? Do you want to try kissing me again? Well, I don't mind…""Shut up!" Meredith dragged him into the washroom and quickly closed the door behind her.She then made a hush sign to Josiah.Before Josiah could make sense of the situation, he heard someone opening the door.Someone was here
"There's so much money in the account, I have to clarify, right?""You could call and ask.""I wanted to see you."Meredith was speechless. "What is there to see?""Not only are you nice to see, but you're also attractive, so I plan to take you back," Josiah said in her ears, "I'm being serious this time."Meredith was fuming and speechless. She pushed him. "Josiah, I have warned you to not cause any more troubles for me!"Josiah looked at the injuries on her head. His tone darkened. "I can't let you stay with such a dangerous pervert.""Charlie is not a pervert.""If he isn't a pervert, how could he hurt you over and over again?""What about you? Are you a pervert too?" Meredith sneered and asked in retort, "Back then you did much worse than him. You were crueler and you even did it on purpose.""Yes, I was a pervert too." Josiah nodded bitterly. "It took a lot of difficulty but I'm normal now, so I can't hand you over to another pervert to hurt you."Meredith never thought
Then, Meredith turned around and took Wilma's coat which was hanging on the wall and passed it to her.Although Wilma found Meredith a little strange, she did not think much about it. She accepted her coat. "Thank you, go rest on the bed, Ma'am.""Okay," Meredith responded.Meredith opened the door and saw Wilma vanishing at the turn of the corridor before letting out a sigh of relief.She looked at the door while waving at Josiah to come over.Josiah saw her reaching her hand out to him. He involuntarily held her hand with his hand.Meredith stiffened a little. She turned back to look at him. "Are you still fooling around? Leave!"Josiah held her small hand tightly. His gaze at her turned tender. "Rest well.""Just take care of yourself!" Meredith pushed him out.Josiah turned around only to have the door slammed in his face. He could only say through the door, "Edith, I will get someone to send Nia to the old residence. You don't have to worry about her."Meredith replied,
Meredith could understand if Kimberly was resentful. She only did not expect that Kimberly's grudges could be so strong. The moment she entered she slapped Meredith.Meredith was initially about to get down from the bed to pour Kimberly some water when she was slapped to the ground. She was in so much pain half of her face was burning.Before she could react, Kimberly crossed over and sat on her, while hitting her and scolding her, "Meredith, you shameless old hag! Why did you take Charlie away from me? Why did you not treat him well after you took him away!? Why did you hurt him so terribly!? Why!?"When Wilma left, Kimberly had already locked the door from inside.At that moment, there were only two of them in the ward. It was such an unfortunate time.Kimberly hit Meredith on her wounds. Meredith was in so much pain she almost passed out.She tried fending herself from Kimberly's beating while anxiously saying, "Miss Jackson, please calm down."Kimberly finally calmed down a
