Chapter 760
Josiah then greeted them goodbye, turned around, and was about to walk out.
“Wait a minute!” His grandmother called out to him, “Josiah Shelby, are you not going to tell me what exactly is
going on? Did something happen to Edith?”
Josiah had kept the news about Yena regaining her consciousness a secret, so Josiah’s grandmother was not aware
of the fact that Yena had fully recovered. She also did not know that Josiah had been keeping Yena company at the
hospital for some time
She thought that Josiah had finally realized his mistake and was turning over a new leaf after knowing that Charlie
was trying to go after Meredith. Josiah stayed silent for a second before responding, “No, it’s not that. Edith is fine.”
“Then why are you acting so anxious?” “It’s just some personal matters.” Josiah’s grandmother did not believe him.

Penny dialed Meredith’s number on the phone right away.
“Grandma, Meredith took Nia on a trip with her. She did not bring her phone with her.” Josiah knew that his
grandmother would never be able to reach Meredith on the phone.
“Why wouldn’t she bring her phone with her on a trip?” Josiah’s grandmother was not taking any of Josiah’s
nonsense.
Right then, Penny informed her that Meredith’s number was no longer in service.
It was then Josiah’s grandmother finally came to a realization that her bastard grandson had once again done
something to Meredith. “Josiah Shelby, explain yourself right now! What did you do to Meredith again this time?”
Josiah’s grandmother got up onto her feet abruptly and walked toward Josiah.
Seeing how his grandmother was walking in hurried steps, Josiah reached out his hands, wanting to hold her. But his
grandmother pushed him away.
“Don’t you touch me!”
Josiah gave an eye to Penny and Penny immediately rushed over to help support Josiah’s grandmother
“Grandma…” Meeting his grandmother’s cold stare, Josiah felt slightly guilty.”…Meredith might have gone on a trip
to get some fresh air. She will be back after a few days, so there’s nothing that you’d need to worry about.”
“You bastard! Why would she be in a bad mood all of a sudden?” Josiah’s grandmother fumed as she demanded,
“Spit it, what did you do to her this time?”
Josiah’s grandmother guessed that something serious must have happened if Meredith had run away
“Grandma, can we not talk about this anymore?” Frowning, Josiah went on, “It’s normal for
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.

Fuming, Josiah’s grandmother hit him and seethed, “Josiah Shelby, I’ve reminded you over and over again that you
have 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.”
