Chapter 569 The look of guilt on Zya’s face only confirmed Meredith’s assumption that Zya had lied to her.
“What are you doing here?” Zya hurriedly regained her composure then stared coldly at Meredith. “I thought I made it clear that I don’t want to be friends with you anymore? Why are you showing up here?”
Meredith walked up to her and then stared right back at her. “Why Zya? Can you tell me why?”
“What do you mean why?” Zya acted as if she was clueless. “Why would you lie and say that Zade’s surgery failed?” Meredith was confused. Coming up with her own assumptions, she asked, “Did someone force you to do it? Was it Zade? Or was it someone else?”
“The state that Zade is in right now is as if his surgery had failed, no?” Zya went on,” Meredith, you’re enjoying what you see, aren’t you? Leave if you’re done.”
Out of guilt, Zya walked past Meredith, heading back into the room. Meredith grabbed Zya by her arms to stop her from leaving. With a confused and disappointed look on her face, Meredith stared at Zya and said, “Zya, I’ve always known you to be a timid but kind person, so what made you decide to lie to me and use me to hurt Josiah?”
Zya remained silent. “Is that what you wanted? For Josiah to be dead?”
“No!” Zya finally started to explain herself, “Meredith, stop making stuff up. How would I know if you would actually go poison Josiah? i didn’t mean for you to put yourself in such danger, L…”
Hesitant, Zya stopped talking further. “Then what was your intention?” Staring at her, Meredith asked.
“I wanted for you to resent Josiah more. I did it because I want to drive a wedge between you and Josiah.” Zya finally broke down. Grabbing Meredith’s hands in hers, she cried, “Meredith, I’ll be honest with you. It was Zade who wanted me to do this. He was badly injured but he insisted on not getting treated and I had no other choice but to do as he said.”
Meredith was right that someone was behind this.
