lynn glared at Meredith. She thought that Meredith liked to be in the limelight too much. The important
thing was, in comparison, did that mean that Lynn herself did not care about Josiah’s dietary Deeds?
Meredith knew that Lynn was unhappy with her, but to appease the devil that was Josiah, she could no
longer care
Meredith walked over to Josiah and scooped a bowl of grains for Josiah “Sir, this is a bowl of mixed
grains It’s good for the stomach, and it tastes good too.” Then, she gave him a piece of fish. “Sir, this
fish is rather appetizing, you.”
“Of course, I know that this is fish. I also know that this is quite appetizing,” Josiah interrupted her. He
looked at her and sneered, “After all, I have had quite some of this fish back then.”
Meredith lowered her head. She was just about to pass him the other dish when her chin was suddenly
grabbed.
“Meredith Are you sure you didn’t mean anything else by it when you made me this meal?”
Meredith was speechless. Her jaw was gripped so hard by Josiah that it was almost dislocated, yet she
was forced to bear it
He hated her tears. No matter how much pain she was in, she did not have the right to cry.
“I’m sure you know better than anyone else why you’re trying too hard to please me.” Meredith faced
his cold gaze. She was forced to admit it, “Yes. I am trying to please you. I hope that you can forgive
me and let my mother go.”
Her mother’s health was not in a good condition. Being locked up in there for so many days, she must
have had a tough time. Every passing minute must be torture for her.
“Didn’t we agree that if you wanted me to let your mother go, you had to care well for Yena?”
“I’ve been working very hard caring for Yena.”
“Is that so? Then, why has she not come around yet?”
Meredith was speechless. Did Josiah mean that she had to care for Yena until she came around, then
only he was going to let her mother go? Yena had not gained consciousness for the past three years.
How was she going to come around in such a short time?
“Josiah, you’ve never planned to let my mother go, is that right?” Meredith could no longer hold herself
back Tears started to form in her eyes.
“It depends on your performance.” Josiah looked at her. “Meredith, since you like to cook so much,
kitchen duties will be your responsibility in the future. I’ll let you cook to your liking!”
Then, he let go of her chin. “Now leave! Don’t spoil my appetite!”
Meredith found her balance. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and left the dining hall.
She secretly returned to Yena’s room. Looking at Yena in deep slumber, Meredith pleaded with her
once again after countless times, “Yena, I beg you to wake up. Please Yena, I’ll massage you. I will
take good care of you, just wake up quickly.” Then, Meredith got up from the chair and helped Yena
massage. However, Yena could not even hear her pleas. She remained deep in slumber. At night,
Josiah went to visit Yena. Ever since Yena was discharged from the hospital, he would come to see
Yena every morning when he woke up and every night before he went to bed. When he entered the
room, Meredith was asleep lying next to Yena’s bed. Under the lights, her half-burned face was so ugly
it was revolting. Josiah only glanced at her and quickly looked away.
As for Meredith being exhausted after caring for Yena, he barely felt anything for her. Because Josiah
knew that everything Meredith did was just to please him so he could let her mother go. Even if
Meredith was shivering there in the cold, he did care one bit for her
