Chapter 871
Josiah grabbed her chin and lifted her head, forcing her to look straight into his eyes. “So you do know about the
truth behind the car accident, yes?”
“You knew about the truth behind my accident and Charlie’s accident, didn’t you? You’re just pretending that you
don’t know anything.”
“U…” Meredith hesitated before finally nodding. “Fine. Mister Josiah, I owe you an apology. I’m sorry that I
misunderstood you and even slapped you. You can hit me back if you want, I’ll gladly take it.”
She then closed her eyes and showed her cheek to Josiah.
Looking at her perfectly sculptured side profile, Josiah could not bring himself to hit her.

But then again, even when her face was disfigured back then, he would not have been able to hit her.
He had always regretted the time when he slapped her at the hospital two years ago.
And Meredith knew better that he could never have laid a hand on her.
“I will not hit you. But Meredith, I have my limits too, don’t push it. Stop putting on a show with Charlie to show how
lovey-dovey you both are, if not…”
“Don’t worry, Mister Josiah. There will be no next time,” Meredith cut him off abruptly.
She did not come all the way here to show off her relationship with Charlie. It was Josiah who was too sensitive.
Josiah remained silent.
But he did not let go of her. He still had her pushed against the wall and Meredith did not know what to
do.
“Mister Josiah, about the car accident…”

“Go on.”
“Can you just let this one go?” Mustering her courage, Meredith went on, “Charlie really didn’t mean it. He acted on
an impulse and I promise that he will not do such a foolish thing anymore.”
“Besides…” Looking at him, she said, “You’ve recovered and I believe that you’ll be discharged in just a few days.”
“Are you pleading for some other man?” Josiah sounded irked.
Meredith had no choice but to remind him, “That man…is my husband.”
And this triggered Josiah even more.
Gritting his teeth, he arched his brow and said, “Sure. Let’s do the usual. You kiss me first and I promise to let him
go if I’m satisfied with your service.”

The look on Meredith’s face changed.
He wanted her to kiss him? Here? At the hospital?
When Charlie was waiting for her outside.
“Why? Do you not want me to have mercy on that good old husband of yours? Aren’t you afraid that he would go to
jail while crippled?” Josiah mocked.
Meredith turned her head sideways to avoid looking at him. “Josiah Shelby, I am now Charlie’s wife, please don’t
treat me this way, if not…”
“If not what?”
“I will hate you!”
“Hate me?” Josiah laughed, “Meredith Leighton, don’t you already hate me enough?”
“…” Meredith was getting desperate. “Josiah, can’t you come up with something more reasonable? promise that I’ll
do whatever I can to please you.”
“Reasonable?” Josiah traced his fingers across her cheek and said, “Aside from your body, what else do you think
can possibly satisfy me?”
