Chapter 102
“I’ll be fine,” Meredith added bitterly, “she’s right. Josiah will only get angrier if he sees you shielding me from the rain.” Seeing Meredith was determined, Lily could only walk back into the house, taking the umbrella with her.
The rain was getting heavier and the temperature was dropping. Meredith’s face and lips turned pale, her body shivering from the cold.
Her legs had already gone numb.
But she did not stop kneeling. Biting down on the pain and cold, she continued kneeling.
When Ysabelle walked into Josiah’s study with a tray of supper in her hands, she saw how Josiah was staring out the window with a grave expression on his face.
Following his gaze, Ysabelle noticed that he was actually staring at Meredith who was kneeling in the front yard.
The heavy rain was hitting hard on her body and Meredith was shivering and shaking. It looked as if she was not able to hold it out any longer.
Ysabelle stole another glance at Josiah before putting down the tray of food in front of him.” Josiah, I made this bowl of noodles for you. Try some of it.”
Breaking off his gaze from Meredith , Josiah turned to look at his work documents. “I’m not hungry. Take it away.”
“Josiah…” Ysabelle pretended as if she felt bad for Meredith. “The rain is getting heavier and I’m worried that Meredith won’t be able to take it. Why not let her in for now?” She then added, “I had a thought about what she said and I kind of agree with her. She’s well aware that you adore Yena and I don’t think she’d do something so stupid and let the mouse out to bite Yena.” “Well, tell me then, where did the mice come from?” Glancing at her, Josiah asked, “Were you the one who let them into Yena’s room?”
“Impossible. Don’t make this kind of joke, Josiah.” Ysabelle shook her head and added,” Perhaps Lily is right, that the mice sneaked in from outside.
“It doesn’t matter if it was Meredith who let the mice in. She’d already received her punishment. Let’s just let her come in and have a hot shower and get a change of new clothes. If not, she’s going to catch a cold.”
