Chapter 851
“Wait, what did the bastard mean? He doesn’t have the nerves to come home or he wants us to sit and wait until he gets home?”
“The traffic is usually at its peak at this hour, I suppose he is still stuck in a jam,” Charlie’s mother replied.
“Let me go make a call to Sir.” Penny then went to get the phone.
When the call was answered, the expression on Penny’s face started to change before she could even say a word. After a while, she stuttered, “What…what…what did you say? Sir… he was in an accident?”
Even though Penny was stuttering, everyone heard her loud and clear.
Josiah had a car accident!
Meredith who was walking down the stairs with Nia heard the news. She froze in her steps, nearly tripping over the staircase.
With one hand holding Nia, Meredith quickly put the other hand on the railing.
It was inappropriate for her to rush to the phone to ask the person on the call whether it was true that Josiah was in a crash, nor could she show that she was too worried. All she could do was compose herself.
Tightening the grip around Nia’s hands, she walked down the steps firmly and slowly.
She was about to ask something but she met Charlie’s eyes who were staring at her.
Charlie was looking at her coldly and Meredith had no choice but to swallow her words.
Penny got off from the call and she sounded concerned, “Ma’am, it was Walter. He said that Sir got into a car crash while on his way here.”
