He was not angry but his stare was intimidating. Intimidating enough for Meredith to let go of her grip
on his shirt and could only stare as he left the room. Did he ask her to beg Ysballe? Meredith smiled
bitterly. Ysabelle prayed that Alayna would die faster so that Nia would not have any donors and
the doctors would not be able to carry out the surgery. After Josiah had left, Meredith went back to
doing chores while racking her brain to come up with a plan to save her mother. After being put in
charge of taking care of Yena and all the house chores, Meredith had been working tirelessly every
single day. Having to wake up at five in the morning and could only rest after midnight, Meredith felt as
if her body was going to collapse soon. But for the sake of earning more money, she had to push
through.
In the evening, Meredith fell asleep on the stairs after a whole day of working.
The stairs in the backyard were one of the safe places that she would go to whenever
she desperately needed a rest or to take a breather from all the chores. This time around, she
accidentally fell asleep. She even had a dream. In her dream, Alayna was being bullied in jail. People
were ganging up on her poor mother, kicking and hitting her. Soon enough, her mother was bleeding
and bruised all over her body. Her mother was lying in the pool of blood, and the people surrounding
her showed no pity for her but started sniggering and laughing at her heartlessly. Those people
sniggered while saying, “Mister Josiah said that whoever kills her first would be rewarded with a
hundred thousand dollars! Hurry up, guys!”
The people started another round of hitting and kicking and all Meredith could hear were her mother’s
painful cries Meredith did not know what to do.
She wanted to rush into the cell to save her mother but no matter how much tried, she
was locked on the outside.
No matter how much she pleaded and cried, those people had no intention of stopping.
“No!” Meredith let out a cry and got up onto her feet. Liam had just come home. Hearing Meredith’s
loud cry, he quickly moved toward the backyard. At the sight of Meredith who was standing on the
stairs, absentmindedly, Liam realized what was happening right away. Smiling, he walked over. “What’s
wrong? Did you doze off again?’
