Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 168

Turning around, Josiah then headed for the door. Behind him was Meredith who was on her knees, begging while crying, “Nia is not Yoel’s child, you have to believe me, Josiah. Please believe me once more… please save her…”

Josiah had turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to her pleadings and cries. To Lily, he said, “Keep a close watch on her and send her back to the basement!”

Lily could not bring herself to say anything.

She did not dare to plead with Josiah and could only turn to Mister Yoseph for help. “Even though Miss Meredith’s life is not in danger anymore, she did lose a lot of blood. Could we let her stay in the hospital for a few more days?” . .

Yoseph replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll try to talk to Mister Josiah.”

By the time Yoseph rushed to the entrance, Josiah had already gotten into the car.

He quickly got into the car. He waited for quite a while before finally asking, “Sir, what do you plan to do with Miss Meredith? We can’t possibly keep her locked away in the basement forever, right?”

“I don’t see a problem with that. At least we’re able to keep her from harming others.”

“But…she has a child to look after.”

“The child is not worth it anyway.” Leaning his back against the car seat, Josiah closed his eyes.

It was clear that Josiah did not wish to speak of the matter anymore. Yoseph hesitated before finally adding, “But the wound on her wrist is quite deep, and what if her wound gets infected while she stays

in the basement? I think…it’s best if we keep her at the hospital for another two days.”

This time, Josiah simply remained silent. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

After being assigned to a patient’s ward, Meredith immediately pulled out the drip needle from the back of her hand and rushed outside.

Lily was startled by her behavior. “Miss Meredith, what are you doing? Why did you pull out the needle?”

“Lily, I am fine. I have more important things to do right now.” Even though she was hurting badly and was still feeling weak, Meredith put up with the pain as she needed to see her mother.

Before Lily could even stop her, Meredith had already left the room.

After asking one of the nurses, Meredith found out which room her mother was assigned to. At the sight of a doctor walking out of the room, she grabbed onto his arm and asked, “Doctor, how is my mom? Is she okay?” Taking a look at Alayna who was in the room before turning to look at Meredith, he asked, “You’re a family member?” “Yes,” Nodding, Meredith replied, “I’m her daughter. How is my mom?” “It’s not looking good. Give her the notice of critical illness.” The doctor said to one of the nurses.

At the mention of the notice of critical illness, Meredith felt her legs go weak.

With her trembling hands, she took the notice form from the nurse. With tears welling up in her eyes, she asked, “Why isn’t she at the emergency ward then? Why is she here instead?”

“Oh, there you go. This is the medical bill.” The nurse handed her another document. The message was clear. Meredith had to pay the fees first before her mother could be treated Meredith had just escaped from the basement. She did not have any money with her.

Fumbling through her empty pockets, Meredith had no choice but to use Josiah’s name. “Doctor, I know Mister Josiah, Josiah Shelby. Could you please treat my mom first? I’ll have Sir reimburse the medical fees later.”

“You know Mister Josiah?” The doctor studied her carefully, with a look of skepticism on his face. It was obvious that he did not believe her.

Seeing how the doctor did not believe her, Meredith had no choice but to say, ” Yes. I am his ex-wife.”
