Chapter 170


    “Mom-“Grabbing tightly onto her mother’s hand, Meredith cried, “Mom! Didn’t you say you were only


    going to take a nap? How could you lie to me? Hurry up and wake up now -” “I’m really going to get


    mad at you if you don’t wake up! I’m not going to talk to you anymore! Mom…please wake up, hmm?


    Please don’t leave…”


    No matter how much she cried, yna did not wake up.


    Seeing how Meredith was crying her heart out, one of the nurses could not help but try tofort her,


    “Miss, my deepest sympathies but your mom is already gone.”


    “No! She will never abandon me like that, she will wake up!” Meredith tried to stop the nurses from


    pushing her mom away. Shaking her head frantically as tears rolled down her cheeks, she said, “Give


    me a moment, I’ll ask Josiah for help! I’ll go beg him! I’m willing to give him my life!” The nurses


    exchanged a look with each other and could only shake their heads.

    They simply assumed that Meredith had lost her mind from the shock of her mother’s sudden passing.


    Meredith was pulled away by force from her mother’s bed. Her cries got louder and louder as she could


    only watch her mother being pushed away. “Why won’t you guys give me some time? Why! Why!!”


    In the end, Meredith passed out from being too worked up.


    mming down a file against the desk, Josiah yelled, “Where is everyone? Is there anyone else who is


    working in this house?!” Lily scurried into his study room. “Sir, what can I help you with?”


    “Is Meredith dead or not?”.


    “Get her back here at once and make me a coffee if she isn’t dead!”


    Taking a glimpse at the coffee cup that was empty, Lily replied carefully, “Sir, Miss Meredith is still in the


    hospital. I can make you a cup of coffee if you’d like some.”


    Lily knew that the coffee she brewed was notparable to Meredith’s and


    Josiah had never once tried her coffee.


    But aside from Alfred, there was no one else in the house. Besides, Alfred was not good at brewing


    coffee either.


    “Did she really have to be kept in the hospital just for the petty wound of hers? I want her back here at


    once!” Josiah seethed frustratedly.


    Lily did notice that Josiah was simmering in anger the moment he got back from the hospital. She knew


    that Josiah would explode in rage if Meredith continued staying in the hospital.


    Just when Lily was about to leave the room, Ysabelle walked inside with a cup of freshly brewed


    coffee.


    Startled, Lily greeted her with a nod and left the room. Ignoring Lily, Ysabelle walked toward Josiah.


    “Josiah, I knew that you would need a cup of coffee at this time to relieve some of your stress.”


    ncing at her with a look of annoyance on his face, Josiah said, “I thought I made it clear that no


    visitors are allowed in this house.” Ysabelle’s expression changed slightly. “Josiah, I didn’t know that I


    am considered an outsider too.”


    “If not?”


    “Well, why is Meredith allowed in here then?”


    “Are you the same as Meredith?”


    “Of course not!” Ysabelle continued, “I definitely don’t have the guts to harm Yena, or to stab you, and


    even kill Miss Leah.”


    Ysabelle’s words were like knives stabbing into his heart.


    Seeing how Josiah’s expression darkened little by little, Ysabelle quickly added, ” Alright now, Josiah. I


    know you aren’t in a good mood and I simply thought of checking up on you. Nothing else, really.” “Now


    that you’ve seen me, can you leave now?”
