Chapter 1207
The meaning was obvious. She had to treat him exactly how she treated Meredith.
Just like today, she scalded Meredith’s hand, and he scalded himself in front of her.
Mrs. Shelby was about to be mad at him.
“Josiah…” She took a few deep breaths and said angrily, “what’s so good about that Meredith? Is it worth protecting her like this?”
“She’s nothing good, but she’s the only wife I’m married to. She’s the one I hurt deeply, and she’s my daughter’s mother. So I’ll try my best to protect her, and whoever wants to be her enemy is to be my enemy as well. And that includes you, Mother.”
As soon as these words were said, Mrs. Shelby became even angrier.
Josiah stopped talking nonsense with her. He got up and walked toward the bedroom door.
“Josiah! Come back here!” Mrs. Shelby yelled at his back, “How dare you threaten me? Do you still think of me as your mother?”
Josiah turned around, looked at her, and said, “To tell you the truth, I’ve never seen you as one.”
“You…” Mrs. Shelby was trembling with anger, raised her finger, and stammered, “Josiah, you…you…”
“Ma’am!” The servant hurried up and supported Mrs. Shelby’s body. “Ma’am, what’s the matter with you? Are you alright?”
The servant raised his head and said to Josiah, “Sir, please stop. Ma’am’s heart can’t take a shock like this.”
Looking at Mrs. Shelby’s eyes, it did not look like she was pretending. Josiah frowned and quickly came over and helped her to lie down on the sofa.
“Go and call Miss Landers over!” he ordered.
Only then did the servant react, and hurriedly rushed toward the bedroom door.
Out of a doctor’s instinct, Meredith left her work and rushed toward Mrs. Shelby’s bedroom.
Mrs. Shelby was lying on the sofa panting heavily, and her vision had begun to become blurry.
“What’s wrong with her?” she hurriedly walked up and started emergency treatment for Mrs. Shelby.
Josiah did not know what happened to Mrs. Shelby, but he just heard from the servant that Mrs. Shelby had a heart attack.
“I heard that she has a heart attack.”
Although Josiah resented Mrs. Shelby and was angry with what she did to Meredith, she was his biological mother after all, so how could he be indifferent about this?
While Meredith tried to rescue Mrs. Shelby, Josiah had already dialed the hospital’s number.
