Chapter 873
His first instinct was to rush down the stairs to save Meredith but his legs would not move.
He did not even have the strength to stand up on his own feet, so how would he possibly have the strength to save
her?
Charlie could only grab Meredith’s hands for a short while when Josiah walked past with Meredith in his arms. He
then stared blankly as Josiah walked out of the stairway with Meredith in his arms.
By the time she was sent to the ER, she was already in a daze yet still, she murmured under her breath,” Charlie, I
can explain…”
Josiah felt anger thrumming in his veins.
He seethed into her ear, “What is there to explain about Meredith Leighton? Stop talking.”
Meredith recognized his voice. She opened her eyes and stared at him. “Josiah Shelby…you…you’re happy now…

aren’t you?
“You finally got what you wanted, huh?”
If it was not Josiah who forced her into a corner, she would not have been left with no other choice but to kiss him.
And Charlie would not have run into them.
Meredith was in a great amount of pain but all she cared about was how Charlie was.
Meredith guessed that it might have been a terrible shock for Charlie.
Putting aside the fact that Charlie might be hurt because he loved Meredith a lot, even another man would not be
able to accept the situation.
Terrible thoughts clouded her mind and she could not help but shout, “Where’s Charlie? How is he? I want to see
him…”
Holding her in his arms, Josiah taunted, “Meredith Leighton, I swear that I’ll throw him into jail if you call for him one
more time.”
Meredith started panicking.

“No…” Clenching to his shirt, Meredith pleaded, “Please…please don’t hurt him, Josiah.”
“Do you care about him that much?” Josiah seethed, “To the point that you don’t even care about yourself?
“Yes….I care a lot about him,” Meredith nodded and went on, “he ended up this way because of me and I can’t let
him get hurt anymore. So please…please don’t hurt him.”
“Please promise me,” Meredith continued to beg.
Wiping away the blood on her hair, Josiah nodded. “Okay. I will leave him alone as long as you’re fine.”
“Really?”
Josiah nodded.
“What about the car accident…”
“I am to be blamed for getting into a car accident. I will take responsibility for it, okay?”
Meredith finally felt slightly relieved. Smiling at him, she said, “Josiah Shelby, don’t worry. I’ll repay you.”

Josiah wanted to ask her how else could she possibly repay him aside from using her body, but seeing how weak
she was, Josiah swallowed back his words.
He then said, “Can you shut up and get treated now?”
“Okay.” Meredith smiled, “but it’s not that painful anymore.”
Perhaps Meredith felt relieved after Josiah promised that he would leave Charlie alone.
“What do you mean you don’t feel pain anymore?” Josiah then said to the doctor, “Hurry up and treat her!” The
doctor hurriedly attended to Meredith. “Sir, please put Miss Meredith on the bed. It’s hard for us to treat her wound
in this position.”

Josiah placed Meredith on the bed unwillingly.
It had been a long time since she laid silently in his arms.
If it was not because of the doctors who had to treat her wound, he would not have let go of her.
“How is she, doctor?” Josiah asked impatiently.
The doctor reassured him, “Don’t worry, by the looks of it, it’s not that serious, but we’d have to see after the X-
ray.”
