Still Loving You Nonetheless Chapter 252

Chapter 252Chapter 252
“So you think it is okay for you to yell at the mother of my child?”
Josiah’s response crushed the nurse’s hope,
But of course, she remained friendly.
“My apologies, Sir. It is our hospital’s policy that the patient needs to settle the payment before
receiving any treatment. I am put in charge to make sure Miss Meredith pays her bills.” “I’ll settle the
payment in a while. You can leave now.” Even though the nurse did not know who Josiah was, she was
intimidated by him and she hurriedly scrambled out of the room. Meredith thought to herself that reality
was indeed harsh, and people with good looks always had the upper hand.
She traced her fingers across the scars on her face and thought to herself that after Nia gets better,
she should start saving up to fix her face.
But it was just a small wish of hers. She did not even know what tomorrow held for her.
“You could have called Lily or Yoseph regarding the medical bills,” Josiah walked toward her and
tossed the paper bag in his hand onto the bedside table.
Meredith replied, “I have money but I don’t have it with me.”
Josiah nodded. “Right, I nearly forgot that Liam paid you a million dollars for your service. I bet it’d be
enough to support you for a few more years.”
Meredith clenched her hands into a fist. She could not be bothered to argue with him.She had used up more than half of the money that Liam had lent her. The rest of the amount she
needed to pay for Nia’s surgery. In other words, she was still poor.
Hence, she would actually be grateful if Josiah would pay for her medical bills.
“Why are you here?” She asked flatly.
“You’re carrying my son. Do I need another reason to be here?” Josiah too sounded cold as usual.
“How are you sure that it’s a son? What if it’s a daughter?” Josiah ignored her. Scanning the room, he
asked, “You’re here all alone?”
“If not? Should my daughter be here to take care of me? She can’t even get down from the bed,
“Meredith choked up, “and have you forgotten that my mom is dead because of you?”
Josiah’s gaze darkened as he pressed his lips tightly together.
novelbinHe did not believe that he caused Alayna’s death. Just because he did not help her did not mean that
he was the one who caused her death. He was not taking responsibility for Alayna’s death.
Meredith added bitterly, “Aside from Nia and Zya, I don’t have any family or friends. But of course, I
don’t need them because I don’t want to be betrayed again and I don’t want to cause any misfortunes
to them.”
Meredith used to have a number of friends but after the incident, all her friends had turned on her
overnight. Even Qira whom she made friends with at the psychiatric ward ended up dead because of
her. Zade, whom she got to know later had to leave Jehovah City because of her. At the thought of
these people, tears rolled down her cheeks. But she quickly wiped away her tears. “Don’t worry Josiah
Shelby. I love my baby more than you do and I will do everything I can to take care of him.”Josiah could hear that she wanted him to leave.
He did not plan on staying for long. But the more she wanted him to leave, the more he wanted to stay.
Pulling into a smirk, he snickered, “Meredith Leighton, don’t you think that you stand a better chance of
getting back into the Shelby family if you tried harder to get on my good side?
Josiah had always been curious about this. He expected that Meredith would have thought of this.
“Could it be that you’re playing hard to get?” Meredith looked up to meet his eyes. “Don’t you think
you’re a bit weird? At times, you’d warn me to give up on the idea of getting back into the Shelby family
and at times, you’d want me to please you and get on your good side.” Josiah responded, “But that’s
you, isn’t it? Have you forgotten the times when you got down on your knees to please me?” “Sorry,
I’ve forgotten all of them.”
