Chapter 999
Meredith did not know how long she had passed out. She was woken up by Mary dragging her down from the bed
falling to the ground.
When she came around, she saw Mary sobbing. A bad feeling instantly rose from her heart.
She looked at Mary for a long time. She was so afraid that she could barely find her voice to speak. After a long
while, she said, “Where’s Charlie? How is he?”
Mary suddenly stopped crying. She pounced at Meredith, grabbed her by her clothes, and shook her. “He fell from
such a high place and fell into the sea. What do you think would happen to him? What do you think the outcome
would be? Do you think he could climb out of the water?
“Even if his legs were good, even if he did not injure himself when he fell, the waves are so huge, he won’t be able
to climb up!” Mary lost it and shrieked, “Meredith, are you happy right now? You must be satisfied!”

Meredith completely stiffened. She muttered, “Mrs. Larson, what are you saying? Charlie.”
She could not finish her sentence.
Mary finished her sentence for her. “That’s right. Charlie is dead! He will no longer wake up!”
Instantly, tears fell from Meredith’s eyes.
Her mind was buzzing. Only one sentence was ringing in her mind. Charlie was dead. Charlie was dead.
“Shouldn’t you be happy! You’re finally rid of him! You finally don’t need to accompany him abroad!” Mary grabbed
her by the shoulders and shook her. “Laugh for me! Laugh out loud! Why are you pretending to be
sad!”
Meredith was completely baffled. She could not even cry out loud. How could she laugh?
She did not struggle or push Mary away.

At that moment, even if Mary stabbed her to death with a knife, she would not complain at all.
If Josiah did not rush over in time, she would most likely be torn to pieces by Mary.
“Aunt Mary, calm down.” Josiah quickly walked over and rescued Meredith from Mary’s clutches, protecting
Meredith behind him.
“Aunt Mary, you should know that Meredith cared for Charlie more than anyone else. She was even willing to give
Nia up because of Charlie. She already booked the airplane ticket. If she isn’t good enough, Charlie wouldn’t have
loved her so much and sacrificed himself to save her.”
Mary looked at Meredith, who was slumped behind Josiah and said with gritted teeth, “If she really cared about
Charlie, she would not have let Charlie be in such danger or let him die like that. If she really loved Charlie, she
should have jumped down together with him and not still be alive here.”
“Aunt Mary, Charlie sacrificed his life in exchange for Meredith’s safety. That meant that he hoped that Meredith
would live well. If you force Meredith to die, Charlie would have died for nothing.”
Josiah reached out and gently hugged Mary into his arms. He patted her shoulders and said, “Aunt Mary, I’m sorry.

If you really want to blame someone, blame me. Charlie has left us. I will help him care for you in the future.”
Mary’s cries turned into laughter. She shoved him away and looked at him and Meredith. “Charlie is my only son.
How could you all treat him that way? Are you afraid of retribution?
“You want to care for me?” She pointed at herself. “Josiah, do I look like the type of person who lacks
care? I’m missing Charlie. The complete and whole Charlie. You two joined up and killed him. I will never forgive
both of you for the rest of my life!” She said, turned around, and left trembling.
Josiah hinted for the servant to look after Mary.
He looked at Meredith, who was panting on the ground. He immediately helped her up. “Edith, are you alright?
Meredith did not know what was happening to her. Her heart was aching terribly. It was so painful she could not
breathe.
Charlie was dead. This was a destructive huge blow to her. She could not accept it.
