Still Loving You Nonetheless

Meredith could not help but ask, “But why?”

“Daddy…” Nia started sobbing.

Meredith’s heart broke for Nia. It seemed like Nia missed Josiah as her father and wanted to see him badly enough that she did not want to leave Jehovah City. But…

Nia would never know that it was her father who had cornered them to the point that they had to run away from him., Meredith sighed bitterly and left the ward.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

By the time she returned to the clubhouse, most of the customers had left. Meredith acted as if nothing had happened and sneaked back into her dorm.

At the sight of Meredith’s return, Zya exclaimed in surprise, “Merelyn, what are you doing back here?” Meredith shushed her and asked, “Mister Josiah sent people over to look for me, right?”

“Yeah, and they even came looking for you here, but I told them I don’t know where you went. It was exactly as Zade had guessed. Even though Josiah was admitted to the hospital but he made sure that his people kept an eye on her.

After getting some rest at the dorm, Meredith was taken to Miss Josie’s office and was lectured by her. Miss Josie had asked her to visit Josiah at the hospital and also to ask for his forgiveness, but Meredith had flatout rejected that notion.

Because deep down, Meredith knew that there was no way that Josiah would forgive her. Back then no matter how she begged or pleaded, Josiah had never once taken mercy on her. If he did, things would not have ended up this way. She asked, “Miss Josie, how is he?”

“Even though his life is not in danger, the doctor did mention that the cut was deep.”

Miss Josie shot her a glare and added, “You knew that Mister Josiah is your boss but you did it anyway.”

All Meredith could hear was the fact that Josiah was hurt pretty badly. In that case, this would allow her to leave Jehovah City the next day. But for some reason, Meredith felt slightly bad.

Could it be that she still had lingering feelings for him? Or could it be that he deserved to be punished more? Meredith slapped herself on the face lightly and silently reminded herself, ‘Meredith Leighton, wake up!’

“Mister Josiah would not simply let you go just because you hit yourself,” Miss Josie continued, “Merelyn, I don’t know what went down between you and Mister Josiah but I can see that you’ve really angered him this time, bad. You should be prepared for what he’s going to do to you next.” Miss Josie’s warning sent shivers down her spine.

Because she knew darn well that Josiah would come back for her.’ This was exactly why she had to leave Jehovah City before he returned. The next day finally came. Meredith called Alayna almost every minute to check on the situation on their end. She was worried that things would go wrong.

Hearing how Meredith was acting all anxious, Alayna comforted her, “What could possibly happen to me and Nia? Don’t worry about us, just take care of yourself.”

“Mom, don’t worry, everything’s fine here for now,” Meredith replied as she scanned her surroundings and added, “After I finish my second performance, I’ll sneak out then.”

“Alright, take care darling.”

“See you later.”
