Chapter 754
Meredith arrived at the city hall earlier than expected, hence the city hall was not yet crowded. But as time went
by, the city hall was slowly filled with people, but Meredith had yet to see Josiah.
Meredith waited until it was eleven and in the end, she had no choice but to call Josiah,
Josiah answered the call quicker than she had expected. But on the other end of the phone was a nurse shouting,
“Patient in ward 20 needs a change in their drip bag!”
Josiah was still at the hospital!
Subconsciously, Meredith tightened her grip around the phone and asked, “Josiah Shelby, what are you doing? Are
you not planning to re-register our marriage?” Sounding rather cold, Josiah replied, “Meredith Leighton, Yena’s life
is at risk and all you can think about is getting remarried?”
It seemed like Yena was still putting on a show.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosiah then went on, “If I were you, the first thing that I’d do is to give my blood to Yena to save her.” 1
Meredith was wordless with rage. Not only did Josiah bail on her, but he was actually asking her to give her blood to
Yena.
Inwardly, Meredith wondered what sins she had committed in her past life that she was involved with a bastard like
Josiah.
Fuming, Meredith seethed, “Josiah Shelby, I pray that she dies faster! Oh wait, I pray that you and her die so that
the both of you could get the hell out of my life!”
She then ended the call.
Right when she put down her phone, her anger turned into feelings of disappointment and feelings of being
wronged. Tears started welling up in her eyes. Josiah Shelby!
This was the last time! There would be no next time! Feeling numb, Meredith tore the application form that she had
filled out earlier and threw them into the dustbin.
Sitting around her were newlyweds that were all wearing happy smiles on their faces except for Meredith whose
face was wet with tears.
She quickly became the center of attention. Some were looking at her with looks of pity on their face whilst some
were simply being nosy.
Meredith did not like to be in the center of attention, hence she immediately got to her feet and wanted to leave.
But she was stopped by someone.
Looking up at the person, it was Charlie Larson.
“What are you doing here?” Meredith quickly wiped away the tears on her face and said, “I don’t need you to feel
sorry for me. It was my fault that we missed our last appointment to re register our marriage and your cousin is
occupied today, so…” “Edith, it’s okay, you don’t have to explain anymore,” Charlie cut her off.
The more that she tried to act like everything was okay, the more that he wanted to give her a hug to comfort her.
And he did pull her into his arms. “You don’t have to say anything. I know that Josiah is in the hospital with Miss
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYena.”
“But it’s okay. If he doesn’t want to marry you, I will.” Charlie let go of his arms around her and then took out his
identification card and other documents from his pockets. “Look, I’ve even brought along the necessary
documents.”
“…” Meredith looked at the documents in his hands then looked at him. “Charlie, you don’t have to do this just
because you feel sorry for me.” “Marrying you is my life-long dream. Who says that I’m doing this just because I
feel sorry for you?” 1 Charlie suddenly got down onto one knee and then held her hands in his. “Edith, would you
marry me? I swear that I will take good care of you and Nia for the rest of my life.” Looking at how Charlie was
sincere, Meredith was moved and she felt her eyes go wet. She suddenly thought of Nia, and Nia’s illness. If she
chose to leave Josiah, would Nia ever have the chance to get better? But if she chose to stay, would she be able to
live the rest of her life being humiliated?
Before she asked anything, Charlie said, “I’ve already asked around to find Nia a doctor that could treat her. As
soon as you agree, we can bring Nia to him right away.” 1 “What did you say?” Meredith was stunned.
