Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 80

Three years ago, Meredith was not her match and to this day, she was still not a good match for her.

“Exactly. How could someone at this age still be this evil and scheming? She should be taught a lesson by the law,” Ysabelle looked at Josiah and asked, “what do you say, Josiah?” “I agree,” replied Josiah. Even though her entire body was quivering in anger, at the thought of Nia who was left all alone in the hospital, Alayna bit down on her anger and said to Ysabelle, “Ysabelle, it’s my fault, I should have been more careful. Would you be so kind-hearted to forgive me? Please…”

“Aunt Alayna, if you’d chosen to admit to your wrongdoing at the beginning instead of accusing me of having an intent to kill, I wouldn’t even have called the cops,” Ysabelle added,” If I were to let you go this time, what happens if you end up being more aggressive toward me?

“Ysabelle…” Alayna dropped onto her knees and begged, “Ysabelle, please, I’m begging you… let me go this once…”

“Mom.” At the sight of her mother on her knees, begging for Ysabelle’s forgiveness, Meredith went over to get her off the floor. “Mom, are you crazy? Why are you kneeling when you did nothing wrong?” Meredith did not mind kneeling down in front of Josiah. She did not care about leaving her pride and dignity aside but she would not tolerate her mother being humiliated this way.

“Edith, leave me alone…” Alayna shook her head.

“Mom, no! Stop it!” Meredith shouted in despair.

Ysabelle was worried that Josiah would think that she was cruel and ruthless so she too dropped onto her knees and sniffled, “Meredith, how are you so sure that your mom is not at the wrong when you

weren’t even there? Do you really think that it is right for you to blindly believe her just because she is your mother?

“If that’s the case, let’s bring this to court then. You can drop the act as well and get off the floor.” Ysabelle then turned to look at the cops and said, “Sir, please have a thorough investigation on this and prove my innocence.”

Because of Josiah’s presence, the cops did not dare to say much and simply nodded their heads and replied, “Don’t worry Miss Ysabelle, we’ll do our best.” “Thank you so much.” Ysabelle then turned toward Josiah and said, “Josiah, let’s head back now. Yena is supposed to be discharged today, right?”

“Yeah.” Josiah got up onto his feet.

Meredith could only stay frozen as Ysabelle and Josiah left. Alayna, on the other hand, was feeling bad and sorry. “I’m sorry Edith. I should have known better than Ysabelle would not let you off the hook this easily. I’m really useless aren’t … I shouldn’t have caused you such trouble…”

“Mom, don’t say it like that,”‘ Pulling her devastated mother into a hug, Meredith added, “you said it yourself that Ysabelle would not go easy on me. Even if we managed to avoid this incident, there will be something else waiting for me tomorrow.”

Alayna suddenly pulled away, grabbed onto Meredith’s hands anxiously, and said, “Edith, you have to believe me that Ysabelle really wanted to harm Nia. Nia would have been pushed off the staircase if I was a step late. You must promise to take good care of Nia if anything happens to me.”

“Mom, of course, I believe you, and I know that she wanted to kill Nia to prevent her evil schemes from being exposed. Three years ago, she tried harming Nia as well.” Meredith then added, “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to take good care of Nia.” “And…” With tears welling up in her eyes, Meredith said, “I won’t let anything happen to you. I will find a way to get you out of here.” But what can a lady like her do? Even

if she did have a plan, it would be hard to get past Josiah and Ysabelle. But Alayna nodded and said, “Alright darling. I will be waiting for you. But promise me that you’ll take good care of yourself and don’t let Josiah and Ysabelle get another chance to hurt you. Edith, remember, Nia still needs you.” “Don’t worry, I will.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
