Chapter 166
Meredith’s calm front finally came crashing down the moment she saw her mother through the video on Ysabelle’s phone, laying on the floor as blood was dripping from her mouth. “What happened to my mom?” She reached out her hands, wanting to snatch Ysabelle’s phone but failed.
Meredith finally fell apart. Dropping to her knees, Meredith begged, “Tell me Ysabelle! What happened to my mom?” “There, there. Calm down, I’ll tell you,” Looking at her in disdain, Ysabelle took a step away from her before going on, “your poor mom suddenly started coughing up blood and passed out. She’s being treated in the hospital now but no one can be sure that she’d be able to get past this.” Looking at the video that was playing on her phone, Ysabelle clicked her tongue and said, “I heard that she hasn’t been doing well lately and now she’s even coughing up blood. I think it’ll be hard to save her.”
Putting away her phone, Ysabella then asked, “Oh no, what do we do? It’s possible that you wouldn’t even be able to see your mom one last time before she passes.”
Meredith was almost on the verge of tears.
She was, of course, worried and frightened.
The more that Meredith was crying, the more pleased Ysabelle felt.
Ysabelle was annoyed that Josiah chose to lock Meredith away in the basement and concluded that Miss Leah’s death was a suicide or an accident instead of charging Meredith with murder.
The more that Josiah was unwilling to let Meredith die, the more Ysabelle wanted to get rid of Meredith.
“Hold on, that isn’t quite right.” Shaking her head, Ysabelle added, “You should be more worried about the fact that your daughter would not have a donor if your mom dies. Does it mean that that daughter of yours would die too?
