Chapter 263Chapter 263
Before leaving, Ysabelle clung to Josiah’s arm and consoled him, “Josiah, Grandma will be fine. Calm
down. I’ll make a move first.”
Josiah ignored her. He merely rubbed his face in annoyance with his hands. Ysabelle and Meredith
waited for the lift at the same time. This time, Ysabelle did not absurdly mock or defame her. Meredith
found it odd. She snuck a glance at Ysabelle next to her. She saw Ysabelle looking right ahead. She
had no intention of saying anything at all.
Ysabelle was not a fool. Naturally, she would never bring up matters at that moment. What if she
suddenly spoke too much causing Meredith to suspect her?
In the end, it was Meredith who spoke first. “I heard that Josiah’s grandmother doesn’t like you. She
has also never wanted you to marry into the Shelbys?”
“Who said so? She is just afraid that the Leightons passed down the b*tch gene. She was afraid that I
would turn out like you, so she told Josiah to be careful.”
“So, she doesn’t accept you.” Meredith looked at her. “Now that she has fallen, you should be the
happiest one, right?” “I am not as evil as you think I am.” Ysabelle entered the lift. She took her phone
and pretended to dial a number. She could not help but secretly wonder what Meredith’s intention was.
Could she reflexively suspect her of harming Josiah’s
grandmother? However, Ysabelle disguised herself before entering the mall. There was no surveillance
around the washroom area too. She was relieved. It did not matter if Meredith suspected her, she
would not be able to investigate it anyway.Meredith did indeed suspect Ysabelle. It was indeed done reflexively, but what use was there in
suspecting her? Just like Leah’s death back then and how Yena was pricked.
Even if she knew that Ysabelle was the one who did it, she had no power to check into it.
Meredith even returned to the mall to look around. She realized that there were no surveillance
cameras inside. She could not check who was the one who entered the washroom.
At that moment, the only thing she could do was hope that Josiah’s grandmother came around
She was never superstitious, but this time she secretly went to the chapel to pray for Josiah’s
grandmother.
However, three days passed, and Josiali’s grandmother did not have any signs of coming around.
Meredith looked at Nia’s small face and bitterly murmured, “Nia, what should I do? I made a mistake.
Not only did I hurt Josiah’s grandmother , but I also hurt you.”
Nia, who was still groggy in her sleep, mumbled softly, “Mommy, I don’t blame
novelbinyou.”
“But Josiah’s grandmother would blame me. Josiah would blame me too.” Meredith choked up. “I wish
that I could turn back time. I will surely look after her so that she wouldn’t fall.”
“Mommy, don’t cry…” Nia turned around and held Meredith’s hand tighter. “Nia, will Josiah’s
grandmother get well?” This time, Nia no longer replied to her. She fell asleep soundly. Nia had been
sleeping for longer and longer. Meredith wanted to wake her up so that she would sleep less, but she
could not bear to do so.
After handing Nia over to Wren, Meredith went over to Josiah’s grandmother’s ward.Josiah was sitting by the door. He looked exhausted. It seemed like he had not had a rest for a very
long time.
That made sense. Although Josiah always bickered with his grandmother, he respected and loved her
a lot.
At that moment, she was in mortal peril, he must have been even more upset than anyone else.
