Chapter 225
“Yes, he is not the father to my child. You can pass those to me,” Meredith responded.
The nurse wanted to say something else but at the sight of Josiah’s darkened expression, she swallowed back her words. “Sorry…so sorry. I didn’t know,” The nurse cleared her throat and walked past Josiah.
“That’s alright.” Meredith was especially polite to the nurse. “Thank you so much for these. Sorry to trouble you with all the procedures as the father of my child is not here yet.” The nurse replied, “I don’t mind since I have some time on my hands. But I’m worried that I won’t be able to help when things get busy. It’s best if the father of your child is around.” “Ah, of course. I will try to contact him…” Josiah no longer heard the words that Meredith was saying.
Perhaps he was getting further from the ward or perhaps he was too furious to even hear anything clearly. Even Yoseph who was waiting for him at one end of the corridor felt chills run down his spine at the sight of Josiah’s clouded expression.
Yoseph said nothing and followed closely behind Josiah.
When they got into the car, Yoseph then asked carefully, “Sir, Mister Leon is already waiting for you at the restaurant. I can cancel the meeting if you don’t wish to see him.”
Josiah had always been reluctant to dine with people with whom he was not close. Yoseph guessed that Josiah who was in a bad mood would be more reluctant to socialize.
“Tell me then, who else had slept with Meredith?” Josiah had his arms crossed in front of his chest as he stared down at Leon who was kneeling at his feet.
Leon was startled. “I’m not sure.” “I thought you and your friends frequent the Luna Club often? You really don’t know who slept with Meredith before?” ”I really don’t know and neither have I heard anything about it.” “Go find out then.”
“Huh?” Leon was dumbfounded.
“Keep in mind that I don’t want anyone to know that I’m looking into this.” “But…wh…why?” “Why?” Josiah repeated Leon’s question. Josiah too did not know why. Perhaps he wanted to know who the father to Meredith’s child was so that he could then get rid of him. Leon realized that he had asked too much so he quickly nodded and agreed,” Noted. I will keep this a secret.” “Good.” Josiah got up from the chair and headed toward the door. Leon immediately sighed in relief and got up onto his feet, feeling humiliated and helpless.
