Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 851

Chapter 851

“Wait, what did the bastard mean? He doesn’t have the nerves to come home or he wants us to sit and wait until he gets home?”

“The traffic is usually at its peak at this hour, I suppose he is still stuck in a jam,” Charlie’s mother replied.

“Let me go make a call to Sir.” Penny then went to get the phone.

When the call was answered, the expression on Penny’s face started to change before she could even say a word. After a while, she stuttered, “What…what…what did you say? Sir… he was in an accident?”

Even though Penny was stuttering, everyone heard her loud and clear.

Josiah had a car accident!

Meredith who was walking down the stairs with Nia heard the news. She froze in her steps, nearly tripping over the staircase.

With one hand holding Nia, Meredith quickly put the other hand on the railing.

It was inappropriate for her to rush to the phone to ask the person on the call whether it was true that Josiah was in a crash, nor could she show that she was too worried. All she could do was compose herself.

Tightening the grip around Nia’s hands, she walked down the steps firmly and slowly.

She was about to ask something but she met Charlie’s eyes who were staring at her.

Charlie was looking at her coldly and Meredith had no choice but to swallow her words.

Penny got off from the call and she sounded concerned, “Ma’am, it was Walter. He said that Sir got into a car crash while on his way here.”

Charlie’s mother was silent.

Josiah’s grandmother did not say anything either.

Both of the ladies turned to look at Charlie with a stunned look on their faces.

Charlie pulled into a smile and said, “Grandma, Mom, I just want to let you know that it is easy for someone to pass out when being hit as the impact is too large, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that his life would be in danger. Just like how it was for me back then. Who knows, Josiah might regain his consciousness soon, so there is no need for you guys to be too worried.”

Weeping, Josiah’s grandmother asked, “But what if Joe…loses his legs just like you?”

“What’s most important is that he is alive and he can always slowly get used to living his days without his legs. I remember that this was what you said to me back then.”

Josiah’s grandmother and Charlie’s mother had not been spending a lot of time with Charlie hence they did not notice the sarcasm behind his words. But Meredith knew exactly what he meant.
