Chapter 477
“What did you say?” Meredith was first stunned but almost immediately, she started crying again. “How is he fine when he is in the ICU?”
“The doctor said that his surgery was successful but he is still unconscious. They will need to keep observing him.”
“Where was he injured? Why is it so serious?” “Sir hurt his head and broke his left hand.”
He was injured badly.
Blaming herself for what had happened, Meredith choked up, “It is all my fault. Joe ended up injured because of me.”

“No, it is my fault. Joe only fell because he had to save me. If he hadn‘t, he wouldn‘t have ended up being injured.” Meredith would rather be injured instead of seeing Josiah get

and Ysabelle won‘t be able to step in here.”
Meredith nodded.
After a while, Yoseph made a call to have someone bring them food so that he could stay by Meredith‘s side. At the thought of the incident at the old factory, tears welled up in
“If that‘s the case, I will be honest with you then,” Yoseph added, “it‘s true that you‘re not pregnant. Sir was worried that you‘d be heartbroken so he faked the test results.”
