Meredith also turned to look at Charlie.Charlie's face turned blue once more."Charlie…" Meredith said hesitantly.Charlie suddenly sneered, "Josiah, are you asking me to push the blame for the accident to a woman? You sure are smart.""You can continue thinking that I was the one who did it," Josiah said calmly, "but Yena has to stay inside."Before Meredith could say anything, he looked at her and added, "Treat it as if you are helping her. After all, if she is out and about, she will do foolish things sooner or later."Josiah left.Meredith thought back to what he said, she gradually felt as if what he said made sense.Yena was a completely changed person. She had become distorted and vile. Letting her out and about would only let her continue making mistakes. It would be better if she was locked up to receive some guidance."Charlie, Josiah isn't wrong. Yena was the one who got someone to crash into you. Her target was me, but no one expected that you would push me away a
"Is that so? Did he leave so early?""Yes, although he can't come to pick you up, he still cares for you, Ma'am." Wilma suddenly thought of something. She slapped her head and said, "Oh my, look at my forgetful brain. I forgot my coat in the washroom again."Meredith chuckled, "I'll go look for Charlie first. You can come again later.""Yes, Ma'am."Meredith stood in front of the lift with the bouquet in her hands. The lift slowly stopped. She was fiddling with her bouquet while entering the lift.The next moment, she was frightened by the man inside.Him again!Meredith measured Josiah up. She saw that the bandage on his head had been changed into a smaller one. Looking at his clothes, it looked like he was leaving the hospital.She said to him, "Mister Josiah, you had been hurt so terribly, yet you're already leaving?"Josiah looked at the bouquet in her arms. He was a little upset.He was the one who used to give her roses in the past, yet another man had replaced him to g
Although the therapist was often yelled at by Charlie, he still nodded his head furiously in fear."Mister Charlie, don't be mistaken, that isn't what I mean…""If you don't mean that, why do you keep asking me to practice? I have done it for so long, yet I don't even have the strength to get up. So what use is there practicing?""Mister Charlie…""F*ck off!" Charlie picked up his walking stick and threw it at the therapist. The therapist was so frightened he hugged his head and fled.Meredith never entered previously because Charlie did not like her accompanying him in physiotherapy. He did not want her to see him in a wretched state.However, at that moment, Meredith could no longer care about anything else. She rushed inside and hugged Charlie, comforting him, "Charlie, don't be like that. Calm down, alright?"Charlie was stunned when he saw her. Then, he pushed her aside and yelled, "What are you here for? Get out! Get out!""Charlie, how could I leave seeing you like that?
Meredith remembered that the last time she helped Charlie out of the car, he had the same reaction.Charlie had a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He said, "Meredith, I'm fine.""Just let me have a look at your legs." Meredith wanted to check on his legs, but he swerved."I only knocked my legs when I fell just now. It's nothing."He did indeed fall a moment ago, but he fell badly. Meredith did not doubt his words, but she still said determinedly, "Then it must be a bruise. You have to put on some medication."Meredith thought that Charlie did not want the doctor to touch him, so she added, "Why don't I help you to put some medication?""Meredith, I'm not that weak. You don't have to be like that," Charlie emphasized.Sure enough, it worked. Meredith no longer dared to insist. She sighed helplessly, "Are you sure?""Yes. Let's go.""Okay, but you have to let me know if it hurts.""Hmm."Meredith pushed him toward the lift.After sending Charlie back home, Meredith was about
"There are no more opportunities.""How could there be no more opportunities? The thing music needs is talent, not your legs." Meredith gestured at him to cheer him up. "I believe that you could do it."She also believed that if he could get up on stage again, he would get better.However, Charlie had no interest or motivation. He gently shook his head. "Forget about it, I'll just change careers."Meredith did not know how to talk to him anymore. She could only console him to rest well before heading to the study room.At night, Meredith walked over to Charlie, who had just come out of the bathroom. She asked concernedly, "Charlie, do your legs still hurt? Let me have a look.""I looked at it just now. It's fine. Also, it's not painful anymore," Charlie wheeled himself over to the bed."Just let me have a look.""Meredith, help me dry my hair." Charlie passed the hairdryer to her.Meredith could only take it and help him dry his hair. After drying his hair, she wanted to look
Meredith, on the other hand, was never a match for Josiah.Meredith got up from the chair. She held the envelope and headed to the door."Miss Meredith, where are you going?" Goldie followed her."To look for him." Meredith's hand was on the doorknob when she paused and turned around to say to Goldie, "Don't let Charlie know about this first. I'll have to understand the situation.""Okay, Miss Meredith," Goldie reminded her, "but Mister Charlie is just downstairs. How are you planning to tell him?""I'll…think about it."Meredith and Goldie went downstairs together. Charlie was sitting by the window of the living area reading. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and looked at her."Meredith, are you heading out?" Charlie asked.Meredith had already collected her thoughts when she was upstairs. She smiled and walked over to him. "Charlie, I haven't seen Nia for a few days. I want to go and see her.""Isn't she still at school?""Yes, I'll see her during lunch."Ever sin
"If not, why would Mister Josiah give her such power?" Yoseph patted Megan on her shoulders. "Watch and learn."Meredith entered Josiah's office and realized that the so-called important client was Liam.Josiah and Liam in the office looked at her."You…You're Meredith!" Liam recognized her after a while. He jumped up from his chair in surprise to welcome her. "Edith, I haven't seen you in a while. How have you become this way?"Meredith avoided his wandering hands and said with a smile, "Mister Liam, you sure know how to joke. As if you haven't seen my ruined face before.""It's not that I've not seen it, but you're prettier and more charming than before, Edith." Liam had a regretful expression. "If I were to know earlier that you would choose to remarry, I should have pursued you harder back then."Josiah, behind his desk, cleared his throat in warning.Liam seemed to have ignored his warning. He hugged Meredith around the shoulders. "Edith, you…"Josiah could no longer tak
"Is Mister Liam wrong? Why are you so afraid of him mentioning the past?" Meredith stood in front of Liam and looked at Josiah coldly. "Back then, you refused to acknowledge Nia as your daughter, making her suffer and even almost losing her life, yet now you dare to fight over custody of her from me? What right do you have? How dare you come and fight with me?""Yes! How dare you!? What right do you have?" Liam chorused from behind Meredith.Josiah could no longer be bothered about Liam. He grabbed Meredith's wrist and pulled her into the resting lounge.Meredith angrily struggled, yet she could not break free from his clutches. She yelled, "Josiah, stop touching me all the time. This won't work on me!""Yes, Josiah! Don't resort to violence just because you can't retort. This lowly attitude doesn't suit your presidential character setting. You…"Clang!A vase flew across Liam's ears and landed on the ground, breaking into pieces.Liam was so frightened he swore and left, "You v
