Chapter 759 On their drive to the old residence, Wesley hesitated before finally saying, “Sir, there is one more
thing…” Josiah, who was getting some shut-eye, opened his eyes and said, “Just say it.” “The thing is,” Wesley went
on, “the hospital had sent me the test report on the poison that was found in the cookies the other day. It was the
same type of poison that was added in the chicken soup that you had the last time.”
“What did you say?”
Wesley knew that Josiah heard him loud and clear but still, he repeated, “The poison that was used on Miss Yena
was the same one that was used on you. I guess that explained why Miss Yena was in the ER for such a long time,
but…”
Through the rear-view window, Wesley stole glimpses of Josiah and added, “I remembered that the poison was
from Quinley Allison, and if Ma’am really wanted to poison Miss Yena, I don’t think that she would be dumb enough
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto use the same type of poison.”
Josiah smirked. “And there are actually people who think that she would be dumb enough to do it.”
If it was really the same poison that was used on him, Josiah was confident that the poison was from Quinley Allison.
But why would the poison be found in the desserts that Meredith had brought for Yena? Josiah suddenly announced,
“To the hospital, now.”
Wesley was stunned. “Sir, are we not going to the old residence first? It’s more urgent to find Ma’am first, right?”
Josiah gave it a thought and realized that Wesley was probably right.
When Josiah arrived at the old residence, Charlie’s mother was there with Josiah’s grandmother. At the sight of
Josiah’s darkened and gloomy expression, she asked, “Joe, is everything okay? Why do you look so gloomy?”
Josiah’s grandmother took a glance at Josiah and as usual, she sounded displeased with him.” When is he never not
gloomy? You should slowly get used to it.”
Josiah greeted his grandmother and then asked Charlie’s mother, “Aunt, do you know where Charlie went?”
Studying Josiah, Charlie’s mother replied, “This is strange. Since when do you care about Charlie? Aren’t you both
always at each other’s throat?”
“Aunt, why would I want to be in a conflict with a child? Charlie simply always has me in his sights.”
“And do you know why?” Josiah’s grandmother asked, coldly.
Josiah paused before replying, “Perhaps as you said, I’m always walking around with a gloomy expression on my
face and people find me hard to be around.”
husband and wife to fight, no? It’s not like Meredith and I hadn’t been in much bigger fights.”
Josiah was confident that Meredith would definitely return to him.
She had come back to him after five years, hence Josiah was sure that it would be the same this time.
Fuming, Josiah’s grandmother hit him and seethed, “Josiah Shelby, I’ve reminded you over and over again that you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave to treat Edith with care and not hurt her anymore. But you never listened. Look at what you’ve done now. I
swear, Josiah Shelby, if anything happens to Meredith, I will…”
Josiah’s grandmother broke off and started sobbing.
Charlie’s mother quickly walked up to her and tried to comfort her, “Mom, calm down now. Joe already said that
Meredith went away to get some fresh air. She will return once she calms down.”
“Do you not see how he is worried? He even came all the way here to ask us.” Josiah’s grandmother of course
knew why Josiah showed up here out of the blue.
Charlie’s mother finally got a grasp of the situation. Looking at Josiah, she said, “Joe, don’t tell me that you’re
suspecting that Charlie had taken Meredith with her. This is impossible. I’ve clearly warned Charlie the last time. He
also promised that he won’t cause any trouble to Meredith anymore.”
“Aunt, I am to blame for this,” Josiah added, “so, even if Charlie did take Meredith with her, I will not blame him.”
Josiah knew that he was to be blamed for disappointing Meredith, yet again.
Charlie’s mother nodded. “I understand. I promise that I’ll let you know once I hear from Charlie.”
