Chapter 833
Meredith was mentally tired. She longed for her freedom. Nevertheless, it did not mean that she wanted to be away
from Charlie like now. What she yearned the most was to change Charlie with her sincerity and kindness so Charlie
could get better soon.
The longer she was in that environment, the more she missed the old Charlie who had always been very positive
and caring for her with a smile all the time. Too bad, she did not think she would ever see that Charlie anymore.
Although she was facing the sunset, she did not feel any warmth from it. The Christmas caroling on the street did
not help to ease her bad mood too. When the wind came blowing, she was so cold that her body started to shiver.
She looked at her body and only realized that she was not wearing her trench coat. No wonder she felt so cold.

both of her hands to rub her arms and walked slowly among the crowd. She envied those women who were being
protected carefully by their men in their arms.
It seemed she was never closed to any sweet and romantic relationship in her life. When could she have such a
sweet and romantic relationship as everyone else?
There was a man who appeared to be single in the crowd. When he saw Meredith being alone, he ran over to ask
for her contact. However, she only replied to the man with a polite smile, “I’m sorry. I’m married.”
That was right. She was no longer single and available. Just like the previous marriage, her current marriage was
not a happy one too.
She blended herself into the crowd and did not feel tired at all. All she did was walk aimlessly until night fell. When
she was crossing the road, a motorbike accidentally knocked her. She fell down and groaned in pain.
The lady who was riding the bike got scared and quickly supported her to stand up from the floor. She asked, “Miss,
are you alright? I’m sorry, there are too many people here today. I didn’t mean to knock you.”
Meredith looked at that lady who was very nervous and shook her head, “Never mind. I’m fine.”
“How can you be fine? Look at your pants, it’s torn.” The lady scrolled up Meredith’s pants and saw the wound on
Meredith’s leg. She was even more nervous. “Oh god, let me send you to the hospital.”
“No, that’s not necessary. I…” Meredith rejected the offer.
“No, you have to go.” The lady insisted and pulled Meredith up from the ground while pointing at the hospital in
front of them. “Look, the hospital is just right in front of us. I’ll bring you there to treat the wound.”
After looking at her wound, Meredith did feel a little pain so she agreed to go with the lady. There was a food
warmer bag strapped to the lady’s motorcycle that suggested the lady was working as a food delivery person to
earn her living.

When they were about to pay the medical fee, Meredith said, “Ma’am, I did not bring my purse out with me. Can
you please pay the fee first and I will pay you back?”
The lady was quite embarrassed when Meredith asked that. She felt responsible for causing Meredith to get hurt
and quickly waved her hand. “I was the one who knocked you so it’s my responsibility to pay for the fee. I couldn’t
possibly ask you to repay me back. Is your family here? Let me call them for you and ask them to come to pick you
up.”
‘My family…’ Meredith felt sad when she heard that term. Charles was her family now but how could she let him
come to pick her up now? “I don’t have any family here. Don’t worry, Ma’am. It’s not that painful,” She comforted
the lady.
When the lady finished paying the medical fee, Meredith finally realized she was in Crest Care Hospital. It was
owned by the Shelby Group.
