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
Meredith finally understood. Kimberly went to look for Charlie before coming to the hospital, yet she was rejected by him, which was why she came to the hospital fuming with anger at her."Charlie, what good is this woman? She has hurt you so terribly, yet you are still protecting her!""I just like her. I have always liked her. Also, she did not hurt me. Stop pinning the blame on her."Charlie waved and pointed at the door. "F*ck off and never appear in front of me ever again."Kimberly cried even louder. She shook her head. "Charlie, we have grown up together, went to school together, and been in a band together. Do all those years not even compare to an old hag? Even if you don't like me, you don't have to treat me that way, right? How could you…""I will never forgive anyone who touches Meredith!" Charlie's tone was still cold. "I'll give you five seconds to leave, if not, I'll get someone to kick you away.""Charlie!" Meredith finally opened her mouth. She held Charlie's han
Meredith also believed that if Charlie could stand back up from where he fell and continue his music dreams, he would surely be much happier than at that moment.Charlie did not understand what she was thinking. On the contrary, he said unhappily, "Kimberly is trying to fight with you for your husband. Why are you still treating her so well? Shouldn't you hate her?""I…"Seeing how she was at a loss for words, Charlie said, "Are you hoping that she gets me? This way, you could return to Josiah.""No," Meredith sighed helplessly. "Charlie, you're doing it again.""Is that not the case?""Charlie, I only think that you two had been working well and you were happy too, so I hope that you could return to your music stage. That way, you would be happier too, right?""If you really care about someone, you wouldn't hope that there is someone of the opposite sex that he spends time with all day long every day," Charlie said calmly, "take me for an example, I have been loathing Josiah al
