Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 173

Chapter 173 “Meredith Leighton, what is this? Why are you avoiding me?” Josiah demanded with a gloomy look on his face. Finally lifting up her head to look at him, Meredith stared right into his eyes.” Josiah Shelby, I am not running away from you. I’m just utterly disgusted by you, hate you, and I don’t want to see you.”

Pulling her wrist from his grasp, she added, “Oh, and let me tell you a piece of good news. My mom has finally died because of you. You must be exhilarated, huh.

“And one last thing. Now that you managed to force my mom to death, you can forget about using my mom as an excuse and threaten me to take care of that lover of yours, to be your maid, to be tortured by you, or to be forced to sleep with

you.”

For some reason, her words did not sit well with Josiah. He felt somewhat suffocated.

Josiah closed into her until her back was against the wall. Looking down at her, he corrected Meredith, “I’m not the one who’s responsible for your mother’s death. This is simply what you get for challenging and going against me.”

“Josiah Shelby!” Tears were running down her cheeks. “Do you know how much my mom means to me? Do you know how important she is to Nia?”

“What about Yena’s mom then? Is she not important to Yena?

“Don’t you bring Yena into this! I’ve nothing to be afraid of because I’m not guilty!” Glaring at him through her blurred eyes, she went on, “Even if I did kill her, Yena should be the one seeking revenge for her mom, not you. “Do you think I don’t know that you’re simply using Yena as an excuse to trample all over me, to torture me? But why can’t you spare my mom and my daughter?” “I only didn’t help save

your mom.” “Yeah? Do you really think that it’s just that?” Meredith was sure that her tears had run dry from all the crying in the past few days, but somehow she found herself welling up in tears again.

clubhouse, forcing me to pay for the bottle of Lafite that you broke, did you know how much pain and suffering my mom and daughter had to go through? Do you really think that you’re not in any way responsible for my mom being locked up away in jail to the point that she was ill? When I pleaded with the doctor to call you, to tell you that my mom needed to be treated immediately, you said that your ex- wife is already dead.

“My mom only died because she was not treated in time! And my mom is Nia’s donor. Do you know that my daughter is also going to die now?!

“Thank you for giving me such an amazing gift, Josiah Shelby. If there ever comes a day where I leave this world with my daughter, it would be all thanks to you!”

She then pushed Josiah away and walked away.

This time around, Josiah did not stop her from leaving. He simply remained standing where he was, looking all conflicted.

Standing in front of Nia’s ward, Meredith tried to collect herself before entering.

At the sight of her mother, Nia was excited. Throwing up her hands in the air, she wanted Meredith to hug her.

Pulling Nia into her arms tightly, Meredith’s heart was broken.

“Mommy, it’s been such a long time since you came to visit me,” Nia sulked with her lips pursed.

Even though Nia was complaining, she sounded happy.

For Nia, as long as she was able to see Meredith, all the wait was worth it.

Feeling sorry, Meredith patted Nia on her back. “Sorry, sweetheart. I’ve been really busy with work and couldn’t find the time to visit you.”

“What about grandma? Is she really busy too?”

Choking up, Meredith nodded. “Mm…grandma is even busier than me. She might not be able to visit you for some time.”

“Okay.” Nia nodded her head disappointedly.

Feeling her shoulders getting wet, Nia got out of Meredith’s arms. Puzzled, she asked, “Mommy, why are you crying? Don’t cry, Mommy. I know that you and grandma are busy. I’m not angry at the both of you.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
