Still Loving You NonethelessEN By Snow De Eira Chapter 851Chapter 851
“Wait, what did the bastard mean? He doesn’t have the nerves to come home or he wants us to sit and
wait until he gets home?”
“The traffic is usually at its peak at this hour, I suppose he is still stuck in a jam,” Charlie’s mother
replied.
“Let me go make a call to Sir.” Penny then went to get the phone.
When the call was answered, the expression on Penny’s face started to change before she could even
say a word. After a while, she stuttered, “What…what…what did you say? Sir… he was in an
accident?”
Even though Penny was stuttering, everyone heard her loud and clear.
Josiah had a car accident!
Meredith who was walking down the stairs with Nia heard the news. She froze in her steps, nearly
tripping over the staircase.
novelbinWith one hand holding Nia, Meredith quickly put the other hand on the railing.
It was inappropriate for her to rush to the phone to ask the person on the call whether it was true that
Josiah was in a crash, nor could she show that she was too worried. All she could do was compose
herself.
Tightening the grip around Nia’s hands, she walked down the steps firmly and slowly.
She was about to ask something but she met Charlie’s eyes who were staring at her.Charlie was looking at her coldly and Meredith had no choice but to swallow her words.
Penny got off from the call and she sounded concerned, “Ma’am, it was Walter. He said that Sir got into
a car crash while on his way here.”
“Huh? How did this happen?!” Josiah’s grandmother stood up after hearing Penny’s conversation on
the phone, and now, she dropped back onto the couch, in shock.
Meredith rushed over to her and then asked Penny, “Penny, are you sure you heard it correctly? Josiah
had a car accident? Was it serious?”
Feeling as if she was on pins and needles, Penny almost teared up. “I heard it from Walter. Walter said
that Sir had lost a lot of blood that passed out on the spot. He is now sent to the hospital.”
“Why is it another car accident again? What is happening to our family these days?” Josiah’s
grandmother was feeling distressed. “This won’t do. I have to go see him, I have to…”
“Mom, calm down,” Charlie’s mother comforted her, “perhaps Joe only passed out because he was hit.
Let’s not overthink it and scare ourselves.”
“Mom, it’s not like you can do anything to help, being there. It’s better if you stay at home and wait for
the news.”
“No, no,” Josiah’s grandmother shook her head as tears ran down her cheeks. “I must know how Joe is
doing. I have to be there with him.”
Seeing how his grandmother was greatly distressed, Charlie asked, “Mom, when I got into an accident
the last time, was Grandma this concerned and distressed too?”
Charlie’s mother was silent.Josiah’s grandmother did not say anything either.
Both of the ladies turned to look at Charlie with a stunned look on their faces.
Charlie pulled into a smile and said, “Grandma, Mom, I just want to let you know that it is easy for
someone to pass out when being hit as the impact is too large, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that
his life would be in danger. Just like how it was for me back then. Who knows, Josiah might regain his
consciousness soon, so there is no need for you guys to be too worried.”
Weeping, Josiah’s grandmother asked, “But what if Joe…loses his legs just like you?”
“What’s most important is that he is alive and he can always slowly get used to living his days without
his legs. I remember that this was what you said to me back then.”
Josiah’s grandmother and Charlie’s mother had not been spending a lot of time with Charlie hence they
did not notice the sarcasm behind his words. But Meredith knew exactly what he meant.
