Chapter 290 “‘Yeah.” “That works then. From now on, Miss Meredith’s home will be the Shelby’s mansion. And only
when the Shelby Group is stable, that you, Miss Meredith, and Nia would be safe.” Mister Yoseph then added, “So to
conclude, we are not using Miss Meredith. We are simply protecting your family.” Right then, Mister Yoseph gasped
in shock, “Sir, shit!” Josiah had just closed his eyes when they shot wide open at Yoseph’s sudden gasp. “Someone
had posted the picture of Miss Meredith attempting suicide,” said Yoseph as he showed the photo to Josiah.
In the picture, Meredith was lying lifelessly on the bed with one of her hands dropping from the bedside and there
was a pool of blood on the floor.
Along with the picture was a caption stating that Meredith took her own life because she was abandoned by her

Josiah’s eyes darkened. He then said to Walter, “Drive faster.” Whereas Mister Yoseph hurriedly made calls to
people to take down the picture from the internet.
By the time Josiah arrived at the hospital, Meredith was in the ER. He stopped a nurse who passed by and asked,
“How is Miss Meredith?” “Don’t worry, Sir. She was lucky that we found her early. She’s stable now.” Only then did
Josiah feel relieved.
But the nurse added, “But it seemed like Miss Meredith had lost the will to live. We’re worried that she might not
want to wake up at all.”

“Was she hurt badly?” asked Josiah. “The cut was deep but luckily we found her just in time,” The doctor replied.
Meredith’s eyelashes moved slightly and the doctor quickly went up to her. “Miss Meredith, are you awake?”

someone was calling out to her. She tried to recall the voice and realized that it belonged to Josiah. Josiah was

She started laughing. It took Nia’s death to make Josiah finally call her Edith.
But what was the point?
She opened her eyes gradually, stared at him, and murmured under her breath, “Josiah Shelby, you’re drowning in
regret aren’t you?”. “Yes.” He nodded.
It was as if he was drowning in a sea full of regrets and he was suffocating. “If you feel bad for me, then please let
me go, let me be free…will you?” She took back her hands and started removing the bandage on her wrist. Josiah
knew what she wanted to do and quickly stopped her. “Don’t move, Edith. I will not let you die.” “Josiah Shelby,
