Chapter 965

Even though she had heard of erasing someone's memories through hypnosis, this is the first time she had encountered this.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

And the hypnosis actually worked.

"Mrs. Larson, wouldn't this hurt Charlie? I've heard that things could easily go wrong if we're not careful."

"It's better than how he was hurt last time," Charlie's mother glanced coldly at her and said, "Meredith Leighton, do you really think that he can accept the fact that his wife ran away with another man and the fact that he is crippled? I managed to save him once when he was at death's door, but what about the next time? Would he be that lucky?"

"But of course, he's not your son. Why should you care?"

"Mrs. Larson, I know that your intentions are good and you're doing this for Charlie's sake. But what you did is too dangerous. I hope you won't try this again."

She then added, "I've promised that I would stay by Charlie and take care of him. I will not let him have the chance to do such a foolish thing anymore."

"Meredith, tell me, are you convinced by what you say?"

"Yes."

"But Charlie and I, we don't believe you. I think that your heart and soul will leave with Josiah as soon as he calls."

Looking at the coldness in her eyes, Meredith knew that there was nothing else that she could say to change Charlie's mother's mind.

She inhaled softly and said, "Then what do you plan to do? Keep Charlie this way? With his memories lost?

"If not, what else? Tell him that his wife had spent the New Year with another man?"

Meredith was rendered speechless.

Charlie's mother said with a straight face, "Even though Charlie has lost his memories now, who's to say that he won't remember them again? So you better keep your promise, stay by his side, and create new memories together. In case one day he really does remember everything, it would not break him down too much. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Meredith nodded.

"You better be, if not I'll never forgive you," Charlie's mother warned.

Meredith though, was unfazed by her taunts. Instead, she took two steps forward and stopped right in front of her.

"Mrs. Larson, there's something that I need to clarify. I only choose to stay with Charlie not because of your threats or orders, it is because Charlie is my husband. I want to stay with him and I am doing this willingly."

Charlie's mother's face darkened. "Meredith Leighton, is this the way you talk to your elders?"

"No," Meredith shook her head and went on, "you're Charlie's mother and I used to respect you. But it should go both ways. Since I don't think that you respect me, there's no need for me to keep receiving your cold shoulders."

"So I hope that from now on, you can be more polite to me when you talk to me. After all, both of us have the same aim, don't we? All we want is for Charlie to get better soon."

"And, I am after all Nia's mother. I hope that you would stop hiring people to inflict harm on me. It's not because I'm scared to die. But this would only trigger Josiah to want to protect me and keep me next to him."

Charlie's mother's face was distorted in anger.

For the sake of saving her face, she scoffed, "You're threatening me with Josiah?"

"I'm just speaking the facts," Meredith looked down and went on, "I'm sure you know how Josiah is better than I do. I'm only telling you this so that I can stay by Charlie's side without any worries."

Meredith then walked out of the lounging room.

Charlie's mother shouted, "Stop right there!"

Meredith ignored her and continued making her way out.

She had made it clear that she did not make the decision to stay simply because of Charlie's mother's orders.

When Meredith returned to Charlie's room, she heard a familiar voice.

"Charlie, try some of this, hmm? I bought this, especially for you."

Was it... Kimberly Jackson?
