Chapter 323Chapter 323
“You…” Meredith studied Quinley carefully, her eyes were shaking in slight fear. “It‘s me, Quinley
Allison. What‘s wrong? Do you not remember me? Back then…” “Miss Quinley,” Lily walked up to her
and pulled her aside, pleading, “please leave Miss Quinley. Miss Meredith has lost her memories.”
“What? She lost her memories?”
“Yes. We don‘t want her to get triggered so please don‘t bring up anything about the past, and …” Lily
leaned closer to her ears and whispered, ‘don‘t bring up the fact that her daughter had passed away.
Never.”
Quinley covered her mouth with her hands, looking greatly startled.
After some time, she nodded and replied, “I understand, Lily. Don‘t worry, I will not
say a word.”
She then walked over to Meredith whose hands were covered in flour and her face
was covered with a mask.
Quinley knew that her face was badly scarred. But did Josiah take her back home
and forced her to do chores?
Did Josiah only take back Meredith to maintain his image as a good husband?
“What are you doing, Meredith?” Quinley asked with a smile on her face.
“I am baking cookies. Would you like to try some?” Meredith returned her with a polite smile.“Sure! It‘s been so long since I‘ve last tried the cookies you made,” Quinley found an excuse to stay
longer and quickly said to Lily, “don‘t worry, Lily. Meredith is my best friend. I will not say anything that
would trigger her.“. Lily had no other choice but to nod her head. “Alright then.” “Meredith, why don‘t we
bake together? I‘m planning to pick up some baking skills as well.” Quinley walked into the kitchen with
Meredith.
Meredith did not reject her. “How have you been all these years, Meredith?” “Good.” Meredith nodded.
“And your face…”
“Joe said that I burnt my face in an accident and it‘ll get better.”
“Really? But I heard that…”
Lily quickly cleared her throat to cut Quinley off.
Quinley quickly corrected herself. “Sorry, I forgot.”
“What did you hear about?” Meredith asked.
“Oh, it‘s nothing.” Quinley noticed the scar on the back of her hand. She then took another
look at Meredith‘s face and asked, curiously, “Meredith, is the scar on your face
serious? Do you mind if I take a look?”
“Won‘t you be terrified by it?”
“You‘re one of my best friends, how would I be scared of you?” replied Quinley.
“Alright then.” Meredith removed her face mask to let Quinley have a better look.novelbinAt the sight of the scar, Quinley felt her skin crawl. It was indeed slightly terrifying.
Quinley thought to herself that Meredith‘s face was really badly scarred. She thought that it made
sense now why Josiah made Meredith do chores in the kitchen. The
alluring and gorgeous Meredith back in the old days was long gone and Meredith had ended up in such
a pathetic situation.
Feeling bad for Meredith, Quinley patted Meredith‘s shoulders and said, “Meredith,
it‘ll be okay. Everything‘s going to be fine.” “I know.” Meredith nodded.
She then placed a tray of cookies into the oven. Quinley then pulled Meredith to the dining table and
held up a paper bag that she brought
with her. Taking out a box of pudding from the paper bag, she said to Meredith, “Look what I‘ve got you,
Meredith? Mango pudding – your favorite.”
