Chapter 862 Charlie’s hands on the handle of the wheelchair curled up slightly as the look on his face changed
slightly
With a solemn look, Meredith stared at him and said, “Charlie, during the dinner party, Yena came and looked for
you, didn’t she?”
Charlie hesitated before nodding. “Yes. Is there any problem with it?”
“What exactly did she tell you?”
“She told me that you and Josiah had been spending time together every day and on Christmas day, it was him who
took you to the hospital to get your wound treated. Tell me, Edith, was she wrong?”
Meredith was suddenly at a loss for words.
Even though she was not with Josiah every other day, it was Josiah who took her to the hospital on Christmas day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeredith finally realized that Yena had no plans of leaving her alone, and she was even looking into her
whereabouts.
“Edith, why do you always have to lie to me?”
After a moment of pause, Meredith finally said, “Charlie, I admit that I’ve been meeting Josiah recently and it was
also him to take me to the hospital. But these shouldn’t justify why you staged a car accident to hurt Josiah.”
Narrowing his eyes, Charlie asked, “What did you say?”
“It was you who staged the car accident, wasn’t it?”
Charlie did not deny anything.
Meredith was even disappointed. “Charlie, since when did you become like this? You weren’t like this back then.”
Charlie asked, “Then what do you think I was like back then?”
“Warm, confident, gentle, and kind. You’re kind even to stray dogs and cats on the streets, let alone to a person.
Charlie, when you staged the accident, didn’t you think that it might actually kill him?”
“You’re wrong, Edith.” Charlie shook his head and replied bitterly, “Charlie back then still had both of his legs and he
could go after you and protect you confidently. He wouldn’t have to be worried that you’d be taken away by Josiah.”
“As for Josiah, well, did he consider that I’d die when he hired someone to hit me with the car?”
“Charlie Larson, I’ve said it over and over again – the car accident had nothing to do with Josiah Shelby.”
“Then who was it?”
“It’s.”
Meredith bit on her lips and swallowed the words back into her throat.
Meredith was worried that Charlie might go after Yena if he knew that the culprit behind his car accident was in fact
Yena. She recalled the nightmare she had earlier in the car and decided to not tell Charlie anything
Charlie, on the other hand, scoffed coldly, “You have looked into the accident, haven’t you? And you knew that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJosiah was behind it but you chose to take his side over and over again. Why? Because in your heart,
my legs don’t matter to you as much as Josiah Shelby!”
“No! It’s not what you think!” Meredith shook her head and explained, “Charlie, think about it, will you? The car was
coming right at me, not you. Their target was me, not you! If Josiah was really the one behind this, he wouldn’t
have put my life in danger.”
“In any case, I’m already crippled and what’s the use in talking about this?”
“I didn’t want to hold anyone responsible for the car accident but I can’t allow myself to sit back and do nothing
when you’re out there punishing an innocent man. When you’re also committing a crime just to get back at him.
This is simply not worth the candle.
“Charlie, can’t you just grow up a little? Take responsibility for yourself and be responsible for others too.”
Meredith was trying to talk sense into Charlie but Charlie ended up getting more frustrated.
“All I hear is that you’re blaming me for hurting Josiah.”
“Am I wrong, though?” Meredith held Charlie’s face in hers and said, “Charlie, think about it carefully, will you? What
do you think Josiah is going to do to you when he finds out that you’re the one behind his car accident? What if he
locks you up in jail? What is going to happen to you? And what about me? Does it mean that it’s the end for us?”
