Chapter 1298Chapter 1298
"Mother, you should believe in the medical sciences." "I said I'm not going.”
"Mother, I have already talked to the hospital," Josiah said to Suzy, "Suzy, please go and pack up. We will
check into the hospital today."
"Uh..." Suzy looked at Josiah before looking at Mrs. Shelby. She did not know what to do at that moment.
Mrs. Shelby was so furious her face turned blue.
"Josiah, how dare you force me to do this?"
"Mother, haven't you been forcing me all this while too? " Josiah asked in retort.
"You-"
"Not only have you been forcing me, but you have also harmed the person closest to me when you failed in
forcing me."
"The person closest to you?" Mrs. Shelby was furious and disappointed. "Meredith is the person closest
to you? Josiah, do you have any conscience at all!”
"Whether you accept it or not, Meredith is the person closest to me," Josiah enunciated, "so, in order
for the person closest to me to not get kidnapped or harm anymore, you will have to make do for a
while, Mother."
Josiah was not only doing that for Meredith but also for Ivy. He did not want to let Ivy live under the
reigns of Mrs. Shelby and be tortured by her.However, Ivy was not relieved one bit. On the contrary, she started standing up for Mrs. Shelby, "Joe,
the hospital can’t treat Mrs. Shelby's condition. She can only stay at home to receive conservative
treatment."
"She can still do the conservative treatment in the hospital." Josiah was not changing his mind. He
said, " Mother, go get ready.”
Then, he said to Ivy, "Miss Landers, I have already hired two of the best doctors to be Mother's
personal doctor. I don't need you in the future."
Ivy was stunned. She immediately opposed it. "No, Joe. I have always been caring for Mrs. Shelby. Let
me stay with her."
"Miss Landers, Mrs. Shelby has already gone mad. You better stay away from her."
"No. Mrs. Shelby is only hoping that I could marry you so that Cooper's condition..."
"Stop using Cooper's condition as an excuse. No one will buy it anymore."
"But I..."
"Miss Landers, if you feel that you're free and you have nothing to do, I can arrange other work for you
in the hospital," Josiah said before saying to Meredith, "Edith, let's go have breakfast."
Meredith nodded.
Before leaving, Meredith said to Mrs. Shelby and Ivy. " Mrs. Shelby, Ivy, there are many more
meaningful things to do in the world. I hope that you two will stop wasting your time on me and Joe."
Mrs. Shelby looked at her and said through gritted teeth. "Is that so? How do you know that this isn't
meaningful to me?"Looking at Mrs. Shelby’s sinister gaze, Meredith's heart could not help but skip a beat. She felt that things
would not just stop there.
Sitting by the dining table, she snuck glances toward the living area. She said to Josiah in a low voice, "Are
you really planning on locking Mrs. Shelby up at the hospital to receive treatment?"
"Yes."
"Do you think that she'll just give in to you?"
"Edith, do you not trust your husband?" Josiah added more milk to her cup.
"I trust you, but I also believe that Mrs. Shelby is not that easy to handle."
"Trust me. Once she is in the hospital, she cannot do anything already."
"Are you planning to cut off her contact with the outside world? Will that be...a little cruel?"
Josiah looked at her, smiled, and said, "It looks like the kidnapping last night did not terrify you one bit."
