Chapter 875
“Because she begged me to not go after you for your crimes. Because she didn’t want you to go to jail. She’s willing
to throw away her pride for you. But in return, you slapped her hard and made her fall down the stairs!”
Unfazed, Charlie stared right into Josiah’s eyes and scoffed, “Does she need to kiss you in order for you to let me
go?”
“I was the one who forced her to.”
“You sure love her, don’t you? You’re even willing to take the blame for her.”
“If not, why do you think that I will forgive you for what you’ve done? Simply because you’re my cousin?” Josiah
threw Charlie back into his wheelchair and seethed, “Charlie Larson, you don’t know how to love someone. You
should give Meredith back to me.”

“And what if I don’t?”
“I’ll report you to the police and you’ll be locked up in jail.”
“What about you then? Shouldn’t you be locked up in jail too?” Staring at Josiah, Charlie asked, “The injuries that
I’ve suffered are greater than yours, isn’t it?”
“Feel free to report me if you have the evidence,” Josiah went on, “but of course, if you have the evidence, you’d
have reported me instead of using these lowly tactics to get back at me.”
Charlie looked as if his secrets were exposed. His face was overcast.
Josiah then added, “Charlie Larson, I guess you just don’t know me well enough, do you? I will never succumb to
such lowly tactics by staging a car accident to get someone killed.”
Josiah initially had no intention of explaining himself to Charlie. But he decided to do it for the sake of Meredith.
No one was sure if Charlie believed Josiah’s words. But Charlie was clenching his hands tightly into a fist, looking as
if he was ready to pounce on Josiah.

If it was not because he could not stand up on his feet, Charlie would have started a fight with Josiah.
Right then, Meredith was pushed out of the X-ray room by one of the nurses.
Josiah immediately ran up to the doctor. “How is she? Is it serious?”
“Miss Meredith has a moderate concussion and she needs to be hospitalized for further observation. But fret not
Mister Josiah, Miss Meredith will recover just fine,” The doctor replied.
“How can a moderate concussion not be serious?” Josiah seethed furiously.
“Um…” The doctor quickly corrected himself, “My apologies, Mister Josiah. What I meant to say is that Miss
Meredith will be just fine.”
He then quickly walked back into the room.
Looking at Meredith who was laying on the bed, not moving, Josiah held her hand in his and called out to her,

“Edith, how are you feeling?”
“Sir, we’ll have to move the patient inside.” The doctor stopped Josiah from entering the room.
Josiah closed his eyes to compose himself. He turned around and wore a cold expression on his face again.
He then threatened Charlie, “Just you wait, I will get Meredith back one day.”
Charlie met his gaze and said, “Sure. Be my guest.”
Meredith regained her consciousness not long after.
Moaning in pain, she opened her eyes slowly to realize that she was in the hospital.
At the sight that Meredith was awake, Charlie immediately came next to her and said, “Edith, you’re awake.”
“Charlie…” Meredith placed her hand on her head which was hurting. She then murmured to herself, “How did I
end up getting into the hospital again?”
She was hospitalized too often these days.
“It was me again, Edith,” Charlie held her hands in his and apologized, “I’m sorry, Edith. I didn’t mean to lay my
hands on you, I accidentally…”
