Chapter 109
Meridith stopped Lily, shook her head, and said, “Just leave her be, Lily.” With all the remaining strength left in her, Meredith got up onto her feet, reached for the mop, and was about to start doing chores.
“But you’re still sick…”
“I’ll be fine, thank you for your concern, Lily.” Even though Lily could not bring herself to let Meredith work, she had to agree with Ysabelle – that Meredith would only suffer if Josiah knew that she was helping Meredith with the house chores. Dragging her painful and weak body, Meredith started cleaning the house. Because of her high fever, Meredith’s body was in pain hence she had to take a break after several minutes of cleaning. Lily, who was keeping an eye on her, felt bad for her but there was nothing she could do to help Meredith.

Meredith was wordless with rage. Not realizing that there was cleaning detergent on the floor, Ysabelle who had finished plucking the flowers walked into the house and slipped on her back with a loud thud on the floor.
“Ah-!” shrieked Ysabelle.
