Chapter 514
A week later, Josiah finally woke up.
Seeing the concerned faces of Mister Wesley and Mister Yoseph, the first thing he said was,” Where’s Edith? Why isn’t she here?”
Mister Wesley and Mister Yoseph looked at each other and did not know what to say.
They thought, ‘Does Mister Josiah know how dangerous his injuries are, how long he has been in a coma, and who stabbed him? The first sentence after waking up was to ask where the culprit was?’
“Mister Josiah, do you still remember what happened to you?” Mister Wesley asked cautiously. Josiah closed his eyes and said calmly, “Yes, I remember.” “Then…um…why did you ask where Mrs. Shelby is?” “What do you mean? Did something happen to her?” Josiah’s face changed slightly, ready to get up Mister Wesley was so frightened that he hurriedly pressed him back and said, “Mister Josiah, don’t move around. The doctor said you can’t get up yet.”
“Yes, Mister Josiah, don’t worry about Mrs. Shelby, she is doing fine now.” Josiah lay back quietly and smiled bitterly. “How could she be doing fine? She must be in pain now. She must be feeling very upset, and she must be itching to stab me again.” After Josiah finished speaking, he asked again, “Don’t tell me she has been arrested?” Mister Yoseph and Mister Wesley looked at each other again and nodded. They knew that Mister Josiah would not blame Mrs. Shelby. Not only would he not blame her, but he was very concerned about where she was now. Mister Wesley reassured him, “Mister Josiah, with Mrs. Shelby’s current state, it is the safest to put her in jail.” “Yes, at least Mrs. she won’t run around, and she can’t do stupid things,” Mister Yoseph said.
Josiah felt that what they said was reasonable, and after a while, he said, “Get someone to take good care of her, and don’t let her get hurt in jail.”
“Don’t worry, Mister Josiah, I will.” Mister Yoseph nodded.
Josiah looked around again and asked, “Who else knows about this?”
“I’m sorry, Mister Josiah.” Mister Wesley lowered his head apologetically. “We kept it a secret at first, and then I don’t know who exposed the news of your injury, so now…”
“Does the whole city know about it?”
