When she saw the needle being pierced into her skin followed by the red blood flowing out of her body into the blood bag, Meredith broke down.She did not know how much blood was taken from her body. All she felt was that her head and body felt light.In the end, Ysabelle put on an act and helped Meredith get back onto the bed. She then placed a thermos flask on a small table and said, "Meredith, I've made some chicken soup for you. Make sure you take them."Putting away the blood bags, Finn apologized to Meredith and left hurriedly.The look on Ysabelle's face changed again. Smirking, she said, "We need to make sure you're healthy, after all, we still need your blood to save Yena. Am I right, Meredith?"Laying on the bed, Meredith tried to make herself feel better."Meredith, this soup is really tasty. Would you like to try some?" Ysabelle asked as she placed the thermos flask in front of Meredith.Meredith of course wanted to drink. In any case, she must drink the soup.Str
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
For the sake of staying alive, Meredith used all the strength left in her to get up from the floor, but no matter how much she tried, she remained on the floor.Just when she was about to give up on all hope, she heard someone opening the door, followed by Qira's anxious voice. "Edith, don't worry! I'm here to save you!""Qira…I'm here…" Meredith cried as she was relieved. "Hurry up…go get help!"Qira though did not leave Meredith alone, instead, she barged into the woodshed that was burning."No…don't come in!" Meredith yelled."Edith, I'm here to save you and the baby," said Qira, who was clueless. As Qira was mentally unstable, she did not have any idea of how dangerous the situation was.By the time she appeared in front of Meredith, Qira was gasping for air due to the heavy smoke.However, she still tried her best to pull Meredith who was lying on the floor."Qira, I can't hold it any longer…my stomach is really painful, go please, leave me and save yourself…""No! I have
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
"She leaped off from the cliff after stabbing me," Ysabelle bawled and continued, "Josiah, what should we do? Meredith is dead…I can't believe that she's dead…"The warden was terrified when he received the news that he had failed to keep Meredith safe. Hence Ysabelle suggested to the warden to announce that Meredith was dead.After all, Ysabelle was the one who encouraged Meredith to take her own life. It was impossible for her to be alive after jumping off the cliff.Ysabelle desperately wanted Meredith to die. She was hell-bent on getting rid of Meredith from Josiah's life.Josiah felt his stomach drop.Staring at Ysabelle dazedly, Josiah stuttered, "What…what did you say?"Ysabelle hung her head low and started sobbing again."Say it again! Who is dead?!""Josiah…Meredith…she's…""Shut up!" Josiah snapped angrily. It was as if he was reluctant to hear about the news, he then shouted, "Get the hell out of here!"Ysabelle had achieved what she wanted, hence she had no inten
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
In the private room was a group of over ten people. The men and women were all dressed up in expensive suits and dresses.Something caught Meredith's eyes as soon as she entered the room. One of the men had one of his hands grabbing onto a lady's chin and with another hand, he was stroking her face. Chuckling, he teased, "My dear, why are you crying when a handsome lad like me wants to have some fun with you?"Meredith took another look at the lady kneeling on the floor to find out that it was Zya.At the sight of Meredith, Zya started sobbing and asked for help, "Merelyn, help me."At the mention of Merelyn's name, a gorgeous-looking woman in a red dress was slightly startled. She then glanced toward someone who was sitting at the most corner of the room.There sat a good-looking man who was enjoying a glass of wine. And the man was Josiah Shelby.The woman thought to herself that things would get interesting soon.After working for quite some time in the club, Meredith had lea
"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
