Chapter 264
Looking at Josiah in such a haggard state, Meredith could only stop loathing him for a bit. She passed him a cup of warm water. Josiah glanced at her. He did not accept her cup of water. “F*ck off.” Meredith did not leave. She also did not insist that he drank water. She merely sat down next to him.
A while later, she looked at him and asked, “Are you afraid to lose your family?”
Josiah replied to her without any emotions on his face. “Meredith, I am not in the mood to fight with you.”
“I’m not planning to fight with you.”
“I don’t have the mood to deal with your pretentiousness either,” Josiah said, “if you have any self-awareness, you would know how much you disgust me and you would stay far away from me, because every time I think about how Grandma has not come around, I want to strangle you to death.” Meredith could see how much he loathed her. She got up and changed to a further seat away from him and sat down. “Also, if Grandma dies, there is no point in keeping the child in you, so…” Josiah swept Meredith a cold glance. “You better watch out.” Meredith rubbed her abdomen. She panicked a little. “Josiah, don’t you want the child at all?” She asked disappointingly.
Josiah finally turned around to look at her. “Don’t you find it comical asking me
this?”
“I understand.” Meredith nodded and got up from the chair. “But I believe that your grandmother would come around.” Then, she left. Meredith was afraid if she did not leave, Josiah would drag her to have an abortion out of rage.
A week later, Josiah’s grandmother still had not come around.
Josiah was in the doctor’s consultation room, listening to the doctors explaining to him his grandmother’s condition. When he heard the doctor say that his grandmother would not come around, for the time being, he was immediately worried.
