Chapter 256


    “Whatever.” Josiah then walked out of the ward,


    In the car, they were sitting next to each other.


    Josiah reminded, “Don’t you forget what we’ve talked about before.” “I won’t.”


    But that did not mean that she was going to do as she was told.


    Meredith did not feel an ounce of guilt for wanting to break her promises because she only ended up


    this way because of him.


    And she had to save Nia.


    To avoid his grandmother from recognizing Meredith, Josiah scheduled a meeting for both during lunch


    hour and at a bustling cafe.


    “Grandma, meet Merelyn.” Josiah introduced Meredith to his grandmother.


    “Nice meeting you, ma’am,” Meredith greeted.


    Putting the cup of tea in her hand, Josiah’s grandmother studied Meredith who had covered herself


    tightly.


    Meredith wore a face mask and had on a pair of sses and Josiah’s grandmother could not recognize


    her.


    But sosiah’s grandmother noticed the floral dress on her. She nced at Josiah and teased, “I thought


    you said it was for Yena?”


    Meredith immediately jumped in to exin, “You’re mistaken, ma’am. Sir bought this dress for Miss


    Yena and I’m only borrowing it for today.”


    Josiah’s grandmother was slightly surprised. Arching a brow, she asked, “You know Yena? And why


    are you addressing him as Sir?” Josiah’s grandmother wondered if it was really just a one-night stand


    between Josiah and her. Josiah’s grandmother felt conflicted.


    Seeing how Meredith was not saying anything, she then added, “Take down your mask and let me


    have a better look at you.”


    Meredith already saw thising and came up with an excuse that she prepared Lur beforehand.


    “Ma’am, something happened to my face and I’m worried that it might scare you, so…”


    “Fret not, I’ve lived long enough to see things that you can’t possibly imagine,” She then added, “take


    off that mask ande sit down here with me.”


    Josiah took one look at Meredith and said to his grandmother, “But Grandma, have you thought about


    how Merelyn would feel? Having to show her ugly side to you?”


    Josiah’s response only heightened his grandmother’s curiosity. Looking at Meredith, she asked, “What


    happened to your face?”


    “My face…was scarred from a fire.”


    “Then how is it that you’re attracted to her?” Looking at Josiah, Josiah’s grandmother asked, “You were


    not even interested in Meredith who was pretty but you’re attracted to her whose face is scarred? Are


    you in your right mind, Josiah?”


    Meredith felt her heart drop when Josiah’s grandmother mentioned her name. Indeed, Meredith was


    pretty and gorgeous back then.


    Josiah cleared his throat and replied, “Well you said it yourself, Grandma. You know now that I don’t


    like pretty girls but instead someone who is unique.” “It is no wonder you’re obsessed with that girl,


    Yena.” Josiah’s grandmother rolled her eyes at him. Even though Yena did not have a pretty face like


    Meredith did, she was soft and easy-going.


    Yena and Meredith were different.


    “You don’t even care about her background , so why do you care about how she looks?” Josiah then


    urged, “Let’s get theN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
