Ysabelle froze.After a while, she finally came back to her senses and yelled into the phone, "Are you guys blind? How is it that you only find out about it now?"Fuming with rage, Ysabelle then ended the call.After racking her brain for some time, Ysabelle called Miss Linda again and said to her, "See you at our old place. I'll teach you how to get rid of both of them…"…"Edith, guess what good food I've brought you today?" Qira asked. In the small darkroom, Qira was beaming like stars in the night sky."Hmm, let me guess. Eggs? Or fruits?"As Qira was mentally unstable, Meredith had been interacting with Qira like her younger sister.In the past five months, Meredith was forced to work, forced to eat cold bread and cold pasta, and forced to give blood to Yena.If it was not for Qira, her child would have died of hunger."You guessed it wrong, it's a chicken drumstick!" Qira took out a drumstick behind her back and beamed. "Edith, I've saved this for you specially. Here, e

Mister Yoseph was slightly taken aback but replied, "Not that I'm aware of, sir. The psychiatric hospital is having a dinner party tonight.""Did Meredith join?""Sir, I heard from the warden that Miss Meredith is not allowed to leave her room. Hence I think that she wouldn't be attending the dinner party.""True," Josiah scoffed.Josiah knew that Meredith was a woman with pride. It was impossible that she would lower herself and attend a dinner with a group of patients with mental issues."Sir, if you would like to hear about Miss Meredith, I can call the warden right away.""It's fine, leave it," Josiah said.Though Josiah rejected his secretary's request, he could not help himself but dialed the warden's phone number on his phone.However, the warden was not picking up.Meredith used up almost all the strength in her and finally delivered her child.Meredith, who was still in a daze, vaguely heard Miss Linda who was saying, "Throw the child into the fire."Upon hearing th

Meredith felt as if she had arrived in a different world.She thought that she was in heaven. But no matter how hard she tried to find a ray of light, only darkness surrounded her.And within the darkness, she tried to search for her child.It was as if her child had disappeared into thin air. Her child was nowhere to be found no matter how hard she searched.Just when she was about to give up hope, Meredith heard a weak voice calling out to her. "Mommy, save me…"Meredith rushed towards where the voice came from and reached out her hands to grab her child's hand. But she was one step too late.Meredith watched her child get swallowed into the darkness while she did nothing."Nia!" Meredith cried as she sat up abruptly.Opening her eyes, it was only then Meredith realized that she was sitting in a corner of the washroom at the club.'It's the same nightmare…' Meredith sighed under her breath as she thought to herself.She had been having a similar nightmare throughout the p

"Aside from Meredith Leighton, who else would be crowned as the prettiest lady of Jehovah City?" Maeve Xander, the lady dressed in red scoffed, "Who would have thought that the almighty Miss Leighton would end up being a prostitute here."Another woman quickly added, "Exactly. I thought that she would have found another wealthy man for herself after cheating on Josiah, tsk tsk…""Neither of you have seen her face, how can you be so sure that she is Meredith Leighton?" A man who was in disbelief asked.Clearly, the man refused to believe that Meredith, who was once every guys' dream girl had ended up being a prostitute."Miss Leighton's face had been the standard template for those of us who underwent cosmetic surgery. One look at her nose and I could easily recognize her," teased Maeve as she went on, "but of course, if you don't believe me, you can always ask Josiah. They have been sleeping together for a year and it would be impossible for Josiah to not recognize her.""Right, J

Throughout the entire time, Meredith had not been able to bring herself to look at Josiah.This was the first time in three years that she directly looked at him.Apart from the deep scar that he had left in her heart, Meredith loathed him.Every single thing that he had done to her and her child that very year had eventually caused her to harbor resentment and hatred toward him.Josiah sat in a dark corner with his hands crossed in front of him. His cold, gloomy, and grave facial expression could send shivers down anyone's spine.Meredith too, of course, was anxious and terrified being around him.But she did not avoid him, and instead, flashed a grin at him and said, "I'm guessing that you want to see me without paying. Well, that's alright too. You can consider this as my present for you."Just when she turned around to leave, Josiah grabbed her wrist.It was the warmth and touch that she was familiar with…Closing her eyes, Meredith collected herself, turned around, and sm
