Still Loving You Nonetheless
Chapter 569

Chapter 569 The look of guilt on Zya's face only confirmed Meredith's assumption that Zya had lied to her.

"What are you doing here?" Zya hurriedly regained her composure then stared coldly at Meredith. "I thought I made it clear that I don't want to be friends with you anymore? Why are you showing up here?" Meredith walked up to her and then stared right back at her. "Why Zya? Can you tell me why?"

"What do you mean why?" Zya acted as if she was clueless. "Why would you lie and say that Zade's surgery failed?" Meredith was confused. Coming up with her own assumptions, she asked, "Did someone force you to do it? Was it Zade? Or was it someone else?"

"The state that Zade is in right now is as if his surgery had failed, no?" Zya went on," Meredith, you're enjoying what you see, aren't you? Leave if you're done."

Out of guilt, Zya walked past Meredith, heading back into the room. Meredith grabbed Zya by her arms to stop her from leaving. With a confused and disappointed look on her face, Meredith stared at Zya and said, "Zya, I've always known you to be a timid but kind person, so what made you decide to lie to me and use me to hurt Josiah?"

Zya remained silent. "Is that what you wanted? For Josiah to be dead?"

"No!" Zya finally started to explain herself, "Meredith, stop making stuff up. How would I know if you would actually go poison Josiah? i didn't mean for you to put yourself in such danger, L..." Hesitant, Zya stopped talking further. "Then what was your intention?" Staring at her, Meredith asked.

"I wanted for you to resent Josiah more. I did it because I want to drive a wedge between you and Josiah." Zya finally broke down. Grabbing Meredith's hands in hers, she cried, "Meredith, I'll be honest with you. It was Zade who wanted me to do this. He was badly injured but he insisted on not getting treated and I had no other choice but to do as he said."

Meredith was right that someone was behind this.

And it was Zade Brooks. Zade had his legs broken by Josiah and it was obvious that he would want to ruin Josiah's relationship with her. Or perhaps, he wanted Josiah dead too.

Meredith could understand the resentment Zade had harbored toward Josiah. But what she could not understand was how Zade had used her.

Did he not know that she might have been sentenced to death if Josiah was killed as he wished?

At the thought of this, Meredith thought that it was rather unfortunate that things had come to this between Zade and her.

No ounce of friendship was left between the both of them.

"Edith, I am so sorry. I really didn't mean what I said and did," Zya apologized, "I know Zade is at fault too, but I couldn't help it every time I see the state Zade is in..." "But have you ever thought about what would happen to me if Josiah dies?" "L..." Zya shook her head and went on, "I'm really sorry. I didn't think that you would try to poison Josiah." "You knew that I almost killed Josiah last month and because of that, I was thrown in jail for over twenty days. You should know better how much I hated him, shouldn't you? So why wouldn't you know what I would do next to Josiah?" She then smiled bitterly. "Zade only asked you to find me because he was confident that I would kill Josiah again." "I'm sorry..." Zya hung her head low. She did not know what else to say. "Forget it." Meredith inhaled softly and said, "As you said, this is where our friendship ends. From today onwards, you, Zade, and I, are not friends anymore."

"Edith..."

"Tell this to Zade." Meredith then walked toward the lift.

Zya wanted to stop her from leaving so that she could explain herself again. But looking at how Meredith had already made up her mind, Zya could not bring herself to do so anymore. After a while, she then headed back into Zade's room.

Zade had already woken up. He was looking at Zya who was walking into the room. "You're awake, Zade." Zya then glanced at the door and asked, "You heard what Meredith said, didn't you?"
