Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Meredith

Meanwhile, Anastasia was also facing the same dire situation.

She didn’t get dysentery, but all the servants got it, and two of them already died with their guts hanging out of their anus and mouth. It was so gruesome that she had them buried in the backyard.

She quickly sent all of the servants with her carriage to find the doctor in the bigger city, which would take about five hours by horse carriage.

Thus, when one of the villagers came to her door and begged her, "Baroness, please save my son! He can barely drink water right now. Please bring him to the next city with a horse carriage! I will trade my life for him!"

Anastasia saw the weak and pale boy in the man’s arms, and her heart ached as she was powerless to do so, "I’m so sorry. But I’ve already sent the carriage to the city for the servants. There is nobody in this mansion except my daughter and I."

A sickly old lady came forward. She was so fragile that Anastasia thought she could just drop dead anytime soon. But she still mustered her strength to ask, "H-how about my daughter, Baroness? Her name is Meredith. She’s currently living in the mansion because Lady Aria wants to be her friend!"

"Ah, Meredith?" Anastasia tried to remember the girl Aria wanted to be friends with. It was rather strange that Aria wanted to make friends with a peasant, but Anastasia was glad because she thought Aria could learn one thing or two about humility. "The last time I saw her was two days ago, but I was so busy in the mansion that I hadn’t checked on her. Let me ask my daughter first. I’m sure your daughter is safe right now... I hope."

As Anastasia turned around, a young redhead walked out of Aria’s room and smiled at them, "No need to search for me, Baroness. I’m here, healthy as I can be."

Meredith stood right next to Anastasia and smiled at her mother. But her smile didn’t reach her eyes, as it seemed that Meredith was looking down on her, "And you don’t need to come here anymore, Mom. I’m doing well, and will stay in this mansion forever."

"W-what are you saying, Meredith? Your brother is dying! He said he wants to see you and misses you so much! Just come with me, okay? We don’t know how long your brother can survive..." the old lady tried to grab Meredith’s hand, but the latter quickly brushed it off and scowled at her mother;

"Ugh, get your filthy hands off me!" Meredith yelled, and her mother was stunned.

"M-Meredith, w-what is wrong with you?! I’m your mother!" The old woman tried to grab her daughter’s hand again, but Meredith pushed her until her mother fell to the ground.

"I told you, I am not going back. I don’t care about my goddamned brother. He is going to die anyway," Meredith spat. "Why should I leave this mansion? Lady Aria treats me very well, and I lack nothing."

Meredith rolled her eyes and turned around, leaving everyone, including Anastasia who was speechless about her sudden change. The villagers were angry at Meredith, who was once such a kind and hard-working girl. But they didn’t have time to make a scene in the Baroness’ mansion, as they continued begging her to find a way to save their children. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
