Chapter 224Chapter 224 “There’s nothing to thank me for. As long as Yena is alright.” Meredith was hoping for him
to leave as soon as possible as she did not want Josiah to find out about her pregnancy. She was
worried that he would try to get rid of her baby just like how he did in her dream. Josiah though added
coldly, “I also thought of visiting you and that baby of yours that you’re carrying.”
Meredith was aghast.
So Josiah already found out about it.
It was sort of obvious as Meredith was in the ward of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department
But Meredith was still puzzled as to how Josiah got to know.
“Spill it, who’s the father?” Josiah asked coldy.
Meredith took a deep breath and said regretfully, “Too bad it is not yours. If not I would have tried to
convince your grandmother to take me back into the Shelby family.”
Josiah narrowed his eyes.
He thought that he would be relieved to know that he was not the father of the child but for some
reason, a wave of fury and disappointment crashed through him.
novelbin“So who is the father?”
“Hard to say. I’ve slept with so many guys that I’ve lost track,” Meredith responded bitterly. Back then
when she had Nia, she had tried everything she could, trying to convince Josiah that Nia was her
daughter, one of Shelby’s bloodlines.But with this child, Meredith desperately wanted for Josiah to not find out because she was terrified of
the things that he would do, terrified of the ruthless and cruel actions that he would do. However,
Josiah was even infuriated by the fact that the child was not his.
Charging toward her, Josiah lifted her from the bed, stared into her eyes, and seethed furiously,
“Meredith Leighton, you’ve got no shame, have you?”
Meredith felt as if her arm was going to fall off. However, for the sake of making sure that Josiah
believed her, she could only swallow the pain.
“Josiah Shelby, you are the one who forced me into who I am today. So what gives you the right to
judge me?” “Don’t blame it on me when you’re the one who’s got no shame.” “You must have forgotten
that it was you who forced me to sell my body when I was only selling my performances at the
nightclub. It was also you who forced me to sleep with Mister Leon and other guys.” Placing her hand
over her belly, Meredith pulled into a smirk. “Now that you mentioned it, you’re the one responsible for
me getting pregnant. Shouldn’t you take some responsibility in taking care of this child?”
With the mocking look on her face, rage pounded in Josiah like a drumbeat. Josiah wanted to kill her
right there and then.
“You had just taken 500ml of blood from a pregnant lady and you’re now interrogating her, aren’t you
being a bit too hard on me?” Meredith turned to look at his hand that was grabbing onto her arm, she
added, “Aren’t you even worried that no one would supply blood for Yena if you get me killed?”
“Meredith Leighton, I would have gotten rid of you if it wasn’t because of your blood. I wouldn’t have
kept you around to harm the lives of those innocent kids.”
“I must thank you then.” Meredith was breaking out in cold sweat from being in too much pain. Right
when she thought that she was about to pass out from being in too much pain, Josiah let go of her.“B*tch!” Josiah dropped her back onto her bed and strode out the door.
Right when he was about to open the door, a nurse walked into the room.
At the sight of him, the nurse was slightly startled. “Sir, are you Miss Meredith’s husband? Here let me
go over the medications with you…”
“Ex-husband,” Meredith corrected the nurse.
“Huh?” The nurse was once again startled. Studying the man in front of her, she
asked, “Ex-husband?”
