Chapter 75
“Meredith Leighton, I thought you knew well about the fact that I’m not willing to share you with someone else.”
Lifting up her chin with his hand, Josiah studied the burn scars on her face. “It doesn’t matter that you’ve betrayed me, that we’re divorced, or the fact that you looked absolutely hideous, you’ll remain as my person, do you hear me?” Meredith was rendered speechless.
Josiah was no different than the rest of the men – no one else is to have what they do not have. With a sudden change in his tone, Josiah ordered, “Get over here and treat my wound.”
He then walked into a lounging room.
Entering the room with him, with tears still in her eyes, Meredith sneered, “You want me to treat your wound?”
“You’re not willing?” “Aren’t you worried that I’d injure you again?” “I want to see if you have the guts to do so.” Sitting down on the sofa, Josiah glanced at her.” If you do, I’ll free you right away.”
“Are you sure?” asked Meredith.
“Yeah.” Josiah closed his eyes.
Meredith took out a first-aid box from the cabinet. Just when she was about to treat his wound, her phone rang. Upon seeing her mother calling, Meredith answered quickly, “Mom, did you manage to find Nia? I heard that she passed out. Is she alright?”
On the other end of the call was Alayna who sounded apologetic. “I’m so sorry Edith. I was all over the place just now and I forgot to let you know that I’ve found Nia. One of the nurses found her and brought her back. The doctor said she’s okay now.”
“Really?” Meredith sounded relieved.
“Yes, darling. How are you feeling? Better?”
“I’m fine, Mom,” Meredith added, “Keep a close eye on Nia, and don’t let her go roaming around on her own.”
“I will. Don’t worry.”
