Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

“Where are your bruises? Show me, then I’ll believe you.”

Meredith was speechless. Ysabelle slapped her on the injured side of her face. There was no bruise to show him.

“I saw the footage of you pushing her to the wall. I saw the injuries on her head today too.” Josiah bent down and looked at her closely once more. “Meredith, do you think there is still a reason for you to talk to me?”

Meredith panicked.

Just because she hit Ysabelle, so she did not have a chance to speak at all? “Mister Josiah…” Meredith shook her head with difficulty, she tried to calm herself down. “I can’t explain myself about Ysabelle. You won’t believe me either, but my mother can’t go to prison. Her health is terrible. She passed out in the hospital a few days ago.”

“Shouldn’t you tell all this to Ysabelle?”

If it worked with Ysabelle, she would not have come to plead with him, even forced herself to drink so much alcohol. “I know that you are close to Ysabelle, Mister Josiah. As long as you help me, I’m sure Ysabelle will forgive my mother.” “If you were not such a b*tch in beating Ysabelle up last night, perhaps, she might even forgive you, but now…” He sneered and said, “I’m not sure she will.”

“Mister Josiah, what do I need to do for you to help me?” Meredith held his knees and gently shook them. Her tears streamed down her face. “As long as you say it, I’ll do it.”

“Stop crying.” He looked at her tear-stricken face with disgust. He hated that she used tears as a weapon, yet it was a tried-and-true method for him.

Meredith immediately wiped her tears away and stopped her tears from falling. To go on stage, she wore eye makeup. At that moment, the tears smudged her make-up terribly.

Meredith did not need to see to know how terrible she looked at that moment. She got up with difficulty. “I’ll…I’ll go wash up.” Because she had been kneeling for too long, she stumbled and fell on his lap. Josiah furrowed his brows. The detest on his face was even more intense. “I’m…I’m sorry.” Meredith held onto him and stood up once again. She fumbled toward the bathroom.

The moment she entered the bathroom, the alcohol in her stomach started gushing out. She hugged the toilet bowl and hurled. Her tears which she stopped with difficulty came falling again as she puked.

Seeing how wretched she looked in the mirror, she cried heartbreakingly.

The man outside did not even take pity on her. He did not even cast her a concerning glance. Why was she still hoping for a man like him to help her?

She must be daydreaming. : Meredith thought she could give up at any time. She slumped to the ground. Perhaps she had drank too much, she was so drunk she could not open her eyes.

Gradually, she started losing consciousness.

Josiah noticed that she did not come out of the bathroom for a long time. He suspected that she was deliberately hiding inside.

He never thought that the moment he pushed the door open, he saw her asleep by the corner.

There was nowhere to release his anger, so he kicked her twice. “Meredith. Stop playing dead. Get up and continue.

“Didn’t you say that you have something to say to me? Get up right now and say it to me!” Josiah kicked her twice more, but Meredith still did not come around.
