Chapter 835
Maybe a person was easily moved and touched when he or she was at the most vulnerable moment. However, the
reality Meredith faced had forced her to wake up from her imagination. She looked at him with a very plain and
cold face, “Why are you here?”
Josiah rushed in and squatted before her to check out the wound that was about the size of a half palm on her
ankle. He asked, “What happened? What did Charlie do to you?”
“He did nothing. I accidentally fell down.” Meredith urged the nurse to put on the bandage for her.
“You fell down by accident again?” Josiah was even more furious when he heard the answer. “Aren’t you sick of this
excuse?”
“I really did fall down nearby this area.” Meredith glared at Josiah angrily. “But you, Mister Josiah, you know that we
could easily cause misunderstanding every time we see each other. Why do you still come here? Did you purposely

come here to create trouble for me?”
Josiah was out of words.
“I don’t want Charlie to misunderstand us. So Mister Josiah, please stay far away from me,” Meredith reprimanded.
“Where is he?” Josiah looked around and said remotely, “It’s good enough that he is not hurting you anymore. Do
you think he has the mood to care about your well-being?”
“He doesn’t know I fell down,” Meredith defended Charlie.
“So why did you hurt yourself so badly on Christmas Day?” Josiah asked.
Meredith did not know how to explain the whole story to him. Thus, her only plan was to change the topic. “Where
is Nia? Aren’t you celebrating Christmas with her? Where did you leave her again?”
Josiah talked with a slightly softer tone, “I ordered Walter to send her back home.”
“Do you know you will hurt Nia’s feelings by doing that?” Meredith scolded.
“I already told her I will make it up to her tomorrow,” Josiah explained.
“Christmas is over tomorrow. Do you think spending time with her tomorrow will be the same as today?” Meredith

urged, “Go accompany her now. Stop causing trouble for me.”
‘She is hurt so badly without anyone by her side and yet she is complaining that I’m creating trouble for her?’ Josiah
thought.
“It’s just a Christmas. You are more important than that,” Josiah reasoned with her.
“I said I’m fine. I fell down, that’s all,” Meredith reiterated.
She would be in big trouble if Charlie found out that she was together with Josiah. However, Josiah did not believe
her at all. He grabbed her arm and said, “Let’s go. You are coming back with me.”
“Where?” Meredith glared at him and thought Josiah must be out of his mind.
“Back to our old home.” Josiah stared deeply into her eyes with a serious look. “Meredith Leighton. I won’t stop you
from going back to Charlie to repay your debt to him. Only when he returns back to normal and when he stops
hurting you.”

“Josiah, do you understand anything I said?” Meredith swayed away his hand with power. “I told you, this has
nothing to do with Charlie. I fell down on the street!”
Coincidentally, the lady came back with the medicines. When she saw Josiah, she was stunned. She asked, “Miss
Meredith, is this your friend?”
Before Meredith could answer the lady’s question, Josiah replied first, “I’m her daughter’s father.”
“Huh?” The lady was startled. She looked forth and back at Meredith and Josiah. “I thought you said you do not
have any family here. Why…”
Within moments, she nodded her head like she finally understood the whole scenario. “Oh, I see. Both of you are in
a fight, right? That’s why I wondered why would Miss Meredith wander alone by the street aimlessly and looked very
distressed.”
The lady was a very affectionate person. She did not give Meredith to chance to explain and continued on, “But it’s
good that you two got back together. Don’t make her angry and wander off by herself again in the future.”
Then she said to Josiah, “Luckily she was knocked by my motorcycle and not a car. She might lose her life if that
happens.”
