Chapter 822
“I understand.” Meredith approached him and held both of his hands again. “But Charlie, I really did not fool around
with Josiah. It’s also not because I disliked you for being unable to accompany me to the hospital that I didn’t tell
you I’m injured. Instead, I didn’t want to let you worry, to blame yourself, and then to start overthinking,” “Don’t
touch me!” Before she finished her words, Charlie reflexively flung her hand off, which caused her to fall to the
floor once again.
“I won’t believe what you say anymore. I won’t believe a word of it!” He furiously picked up a pillow for the floor
and threw it at her. “Get out of here! Get out!”
Meredith shut both her eyes as the pillow landed on her.
Seeing that he was getting more and more worked up, she knew whatever she said at that moment would be

She then quietly took a breath and said, “Alright. I’ll leave. You may first calm yourself down properly.” Upon saying
that, she added, “Charlie, no matter what you say or do, I won’t leave you. I will always be by your side.” “Get out!”
Charlie was so angry that even his voice changed. Meredith picked up those photos, held her arm that was in pain,
and left his bedroom. Wilma came to her with concern and asked, “Are you alright, Mrs. Larson? What happened to
Mister Charlie today? He had never lashed out so badly like this.”
“I’m fine.” Meredith shook her head while looking down. Then, she raised her head, stared at her, and wanted to
ask her something.
At that moment, her phone rang. It was Josiah who was calling.
Meredith was instantly fuming from the bottom of her heart when she saw his number. She answered the call and
immediately asked, “Josiah, are you the one who did it?” “What?” Josiah asked, “Why are you so angry so early in
the morning?” “Are you the one who sent Charlie the photos?”
“What photos?” Josiah was still confused and he said, “But I do have quite a few photos that I wanted to pass to
you. It’s from the school. You -“.
Meredith cut him off angrily, “Stop pretending to be innocent, Josiah. Who else could it be if not you?”
The sound of Charlie smashing things could be heard coming from the bedroom. Meredith was shocked and she
hurriedly rushed toward the room.
It was Charlie who had fallen onto the floor along with his wheelchair.
“Charlie! Charlie! Are you alright?” Meredith squatted to help him up.
However, she was aggressively pushed away by him. “Go and find your ex-husband! I don’t need you to care about
me, let alone pity me!” “Charlie, don’t be like that. You’ll get hurt like that.” “Even if I die, it’s also none of your
business!” “Charlie, if you continue to be like that, I would really leave!” Meredith was anxious. Charlie was dazed
for a while and he stared at her with his bloodshot eyes. “You’ve long wanted to leave, haven’t you? Since you

wanted to leave so badly, why did you put on an act and stay while pretending to be a good person?” “Charlie, can
you stop it? I’m getting really tired of you behaving this way.”
That was the first time Meredith showed a negative expression. Tears were welling up in her eyes as well.
“I know that you’re upset. I’m also upset. If I could, I would rather take your place than see you like that. Do you
understand?”
Charlie laid on the floor in a daze. He did not move a muscle and did not say a word as well.
Meredith did not hope that he would say anything. It was fine as long as he was not worked up, not throwing a fit,
and not harming himself.
After she sat with him on the floor quietly for a long while, Meredith’s emotions gradually recovered. She moved
over, held his arms, and said, “The floor is cold. Let’s get you back into the wheelchair.”
Charlie, however, raised his gaze quietly and looked at her. “I want to hear the truth. Are you still in love with him?”
“No.” Meredith shook her head without thinking about it at all.
