Chapter 158
“I’ll find a way to help you rescue your mother out,” Liam’s face darkened, “Meredith, if you stay here any longer, I’ll go up and beat Josiah up again I’ll punch him until he comes to get you back in.”
When Meredith heard what Liam said, she immediately headed back in with his help. The two of them just entered when they saw Josiah, who was supposed to be upstairs, sitting on the sofa. His face was covered in bruises too. Ysabelle was about to help him put on some medication, Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When they saw Liam, Ysabelle deliberately opened her arms wide in front of Josiah and looked at Liam in fear. “What do you want to do!? I won’t let you harm Josiah again.” Liam coldly looked at her and looked past her at Josiah’s face. “As long as he doesn’t stop me, I won’t hurt him.”
Josiah’s gaze, on the other hand, had always been on Meredith’s face. Meredith was pale from being under the rain. The wounds on her forehead have changed their shape from the rain. Her hair was constantly dripping water.
Josiah looked at her and raised his eyebrows. He sneered, “Are you going with him?”
“No.” Meredith shook her head.
Liam immediately looked sideways at her. “Edith, are you still staying? You will die if you don’t go, don’t you know?”
“I understand, but I can’t leave.” Meredith’s tone was firm.
“Do you think if you don’t go and you willingly take his torturing, he would let your mother go?” Liam was furious. “Don’t you know what he is like as a person?”
“I do, which is why I can’t leave.” Meredith looked at him. “Mister Liam, thank you for helping me and caring for me, but I have my own thoughts and choices.”
“He has already determined that you’re the one who pricked Yena with the needles, what else can you do?”
“I can choose to stay to clear my name.”
She had to stay to get to the bottom of this, if not she would only passively be framed by Ysabelle constantly. “Mister Liam, let me clean your wounds.” Meredith was about to lead Liam to the sofa to sit down.
Liam curtly looked at the wounds on Meredith’s forehead. “You’re almost dying, yet you still want to deal with my wounds? I can’t afford such hospitality!”
Liam added, “Forget about it. If you’re willing to stay here to continue being tortured, I can’t be bothered to persuade you otherwise. You take care.”
Then, he turned around and left through the main door.
Meredith took off his trench coat and passed it to him. “The coat is a little wet, but you can’t go without a coat. Just put it on.”
Liam looked at Meredith’s concerned face. He truly did not understand why Josiah could not see how good she was.
Liam accepted the trench coat from Meredith and strode away.
“Since you miss him so much, why don’t you just leave with him?” Josiah sneered and said to her, “Meredith, you hurt Yena. Don’t think I’ll let you go that easily.” “If you’re unhappy, I’ll go and continue
kneeling,” Meredith said while walking toward the door.
Josiah did not say anything. He tacitly agreed to it. Meredith walked to the backdoor when a breeze of cold wind blew by. The piercing cold wind blew her aside and she passed out on the ground. “Miss Meredith! Are you alright!” Lily saw her pass out. She immediately rushed to help her up while saying to Josiah on the sofa, “Sir, I already said that Miss Meredith can’t take the rain. Why won’t you listen? Look at her…”
