Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 122

Clenching the cotton swab between her fingers tightly, Meredith did not say anything. “Get out!” Josiah bellowed. Like always, Ysabelle smirked at her and gave her an eye, hinting to her that she should probably leave now. “Josiah, aren’t you being a little too unfair?” With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Liam leaned against the door and complained , “Edith’s hand is injured too but why didn’t you ask Ysabelle to help Meredith dress her wound?” Ysabelle was lost for words. Inwardly, she was seething and cursing at Liam for always messing up her plan. Gritting her teeth, Ysabelle had no choice but to pretend that she was worried too. “Huh? Did you burn your hands too, Meredith?” Taking Meredith’s hands in hers, Ysabelle added, “Goodness me, it’s so red. Come, let me apply some ointment to it.” “Leave it, I’ll help her instead,” Gesturing to Meredith to come to him, Liam added, “Come here Edith, I’ll dress your wound.” Even though the burning pain on the back of her hand was spreading, Meredith could feel Josiah’s deadly glare on her without even having to look at him. How could she possibly dare to have Liam help her? “It’s fine. I still have to carry out my punishment – kneeling in the front yard.”

“Kneeling?” Liam acted as if he was terribly shocked by what he heard. “What with the sick punishment? Josiah, don’t tell me you’ve got a weird thing for punishment?” Before Josiah could even reply, Ysabelle interrupted, “Mister Liam, Josiah was only joking. Meredith had hurt her hand, it’s not right to punish her.”

She then looked at Josiah and said, “Josiah, leave it, hmm? Meredith didn’t do it on purpose and I’ve forgiven her.”

Josiah knew better about the fact whether Meredith did it on purpose or not.

If not, what other reason could explain why Liam was going on and on about wanting to protect Meredith? “Meredith Leighton, when are you ever going to stop flirting around?” Staring intently at Meredith, Josiah uttered word by word.
