Chapter 876
Meredith finally remembered how she ended up in the hospital.
She was dragged into the fire exit stairway and Charlie walked into them when she kissed Josiah…
At the thought of this, Meredith grabbed Charlie’s hands in hers and started apologizing instead, “No, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have…did what I did with Josiah. It is all my fault.”
“Edith, Josiah already told me everything. You only did what you did so that he would let me go,” Charlie said.
Even though Charlie did not believe everything that Josiah had said, there was nothing else that he could do aside from believing Josiah’s words.
Hence, Charlie was persuading himself to accept Josiah’s explanation.
Slightly startled, Meredith stared at him and asked, “Josiah told you everything?”
“He did.”
“Then did he also tell you how…how he is going to handle the accident?”
“He wants me to give you back to him, if not he’ll lock me up in jail.” Charlie pulled into a smile and went on, “But don’t worry, Edith. I remembered that you told me that you’re not some item that can be given away. Hence, I will not give you to him for my own sake.”
Meredith did not know what else to say.
It was something that Josiah would do – threatening Charlie to divorce her. After all, Josiah even forced her to kiss him if she wanted to save Charlie.
Josiah was really not an easy opponent.
“Charlie, promise me that you won’t do such foolish things again,” Meredith sighed helplessly.
Charlie replied instead, “Well, that depends on how Josiah behaves. If he dares to lay a finger on my wife, I swear that I’ll make him pay.”
Meredith was worried about what would happen to Charlie because of the accident but Charlie was instead worried about what Josiah would do to her.
