Chapter 796
Mary said without any expression, “You don’t have to explain it to me. After all, no one will be willing to marry a useless man.”
“Mrs. Larson, how could you say that of Charlie?” Meredith was in disbelief. “Being crippled doesn’t mean he is useless. You should encourage him and console him that even if his legs are crippled, he could still live a good life.”
“Are you lecturing me?” Mary raised her eyebrows. “I’m sorry. That’s not what I mean. I only hope that Charlie can get better soon.” Meredith was worried she had misspoken. She said to Mary, “Charlie hasn’t had breakfast yet. Please try to persuade him to eat.”
Then, Meredith quickly left. She planned to return to the office to do some work while ignoring Charlie for a bit.
Mary thought that Meredith was about to abandon her son. She was so furious her face turned blue. She stood outside the door for a while before entering.
Seeing the disappointment on Charlie’s face in bed, Mary knew that he was missing Meredith. “Charlie, Meredith said that she will be back,” Mary consoled him gently, “I know you’re feeling terrible, but you can’t take it all out on her. If not, she might really leave.” Charlie said without any emotions, “Let her go.” “Previously, you were making a fuss about marrying her. Now that you’ve married her, you’re forcing her away,” Mary said helplessly, “I’m telling you, you better not regret this.” “I won’t.” Charlie closed his eyes, signaling that he no longer wanted to say anything else.
Meredith was recently busy in the process of taking over the company. Taking over the Leightons from Josiah was always part of her plan. At that moment, it was finally going to be done.
Goldie handed her the documents. She could not help but sigh, “I never thought that Mister Josiah would be so generous. He just immediately handed over the Leightons to you.” Meredith paused what she was doing. She said, “Have you forgotten that Charlie is in the hospital?”
“But there’s no evidence right now that proved that it was him who did it,” Goldie said, “Miss Meredith, have you wrongly accused him?”
