After staying at the hospital for a while, the doctor advised Meredith to return home.The reason was that Josiah was in the intensive care unit, she could not see him nor be with him. There was no need for her to stay at the hospital. She should just head home instead.Meredith agreed to it.When she returned home, Alfred immediately asked her, "How is he doing? Is it serious?""I don't know about it for now. Let's wait and see." Meredith saw the bag on the sofa. She asked, "Has Nia returned?""Yes. She has to go to school tomorrow. Old Madam Shelby got Walter to send her back," Alfred said, "Nia has been looking for her Daddy and Mommy. Lily is tending to her right now.""I'll go have a look." Meredith headed upstairs.Sure enough, Nia was not asleep yet. She kept asking where her parents had gone too. Lily did not know how to comfort her. She could only tell Nia that her parents were still outside, and they had not returned yet.Seeing Meredith, Nia finally smiled brightly.
"Did Josiah hurt you?" Turns out, Charlie was worried that Josiah would hurt Meredith. Apparently, Josiah was not only cruel in her eyes, but also other people's eyes.However, this time, Josiah did not hurt her at all. It was indeed not his style of doing things.She shook her head. "No.""That's good then." Charlie held her arm once again. "Meredith, if he hurts you again in the future, call me. I'll help you. Of course, if you could leave him right now, that would be even better. I could take you away from Jehovah City. Far away."Charlie said so sincerely that Meredith was a little moved by him.However, she did not know if Josiah still had the chance to bully her or not. After all, him coming around was still a problem."Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it." Meredith smiled bitterly and said guiltily, "Also, about meeting your parents yesterday, I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier about my relationship with Josiah.""It's fine. I don’t care what relationshi
Josiah was stumped by Liam's questions.Yes. Was he still hoping that Meredith would miss him? Meredith had told him long ago that she would not marry him again in her entire life. She only stayed back to take care of Nia."You're right." Josiah smiled bitterly and sat up."What are you doing?" Liam was frightened by him."Getting discharged. What else?"Liam was speechless. "You're in the intensive care unit. If you run out just like that, you'll scare the others."Josiah did not care about any of that. He initially wanted to gain some pity from Meredith by pretending that he was dying. Since Meredith did not buy it, why should he continue the pretense?"Hold up, I lied to you." Liam pushed him back to the bed and said, "Actually, Meredith was still very anxious last night. She even stayed back in the hospital until late at night before returning home. Also, I saw how anxious she looked. It's not only because of Nia."Josiah was speechless. "Liam, are you done!?""I'm telling
"How is Josiah? How is he?" Meredith held Liam's arms. She was so anxious that her eyes reddened.Liam felt guilty when he saw how anxious she was. He had to secretly console himself that he was doing this so that they could reconcile."Meredith, don't worry. Josiah has come around," Liam said.Meredith's expressions froze. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Are you for real? He has come around?"Her tensed body relaxed. Her eyes reddened even more. There were even tears falling.Of course, they were tears of joy.Josiah finally came around. She never thought that she would be so excited by this piece of news that tears fell."Hmm, don't worry. Didn't I say just now that Josiah is a lucky person? He will be fine." Liam patted her on her shoulders.Meredith nodded and asked, "Where is he right now?""At the intensive care unit. Do you want to go in and see him?""Can I?""Yes, I'm sure you can," Liam said.Ten minutes later, Meredith saw Josiah in the intensive care uni
Meredith turned around and looked at him concernedly, "What is it?""Edith, I still have a question to ask you.""What is it that you can't wait until you get better before you ask me?""No," He said bitterly, "I'm afraid if I don't ask you now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to ask you when I die."Meredith was speechless. How could she bear to refuse him when he put it that way?"Ask me, then." Meredith leaned in closer to him.Josiah's gaze darkened a little. He said, "You don't want me to die so eagerly, other than Nia, could there be a small part that has to do with you too?"Meredith was speechless. Why was he still in the mood to ask such lame questions at that point in time?As if he could read her mind, he added, "This question is important to me."Meredith looked at him. She thought if she were to say it was solely because of Nia, he might be over agitated and pass out once more, so even if it was because of his injuries, she did not dare to deliberately provoke
"You did well by rejecting them," Meredith said. She did not hope for Nia to appear so high profile in public. Especially after seeing how Josiah was being knocked over by someone, she could not let Nia be too famous in public."Mommy, why is Daddy still not back yet?" Nia asked sadly while eating the sandwich on her plate.Meredith tidied her uniform and said with a light smile, "Look at you. Just because Daddy isn't here, you can't have your breakfast?""Yes." Nia nodded. "Without Daddy here, even the sandwich doesn't smell good.""What if Daddy isn't here anymore?""Then, I'll surely be very sad." Nia looked at Meredith and asked, "Mommy, why did you say that Daddy isn't here? Did something happen to him?""No," Meredith immediately explained, "what I meant was like in the past, when Daddy and Mommy are not living together.""Then, what should I do? Woo…woo…" Nia suddenly cried disappointedly. She said while crying, "You two have said that you would always live together. How
Nia immediately wiped away her tears. She took the phone and said aggrievedly, "Daddy, I miss you so much. When are you coming back?"The tears that she had just wiped away instantly fell from her eyes once more.Meredith helplessly shook her head and wiped Nia's face with a tissue.When Josiah heard how much his daughter missed him, he was naturally happy. "I'm a little busy. I'll go back and be with you once I'm done, alright?""When will you be done?""Uh…about that, you can ask your Mommy.""Why ask me?" Meredith did not understand. She said, "Don't you know best when you are returning?"Josiah chuckled a little. "Seeing how much Nia misses her Daddy, can't you take her to see me?"Meredith was speechless. She thought about it for a while. It seemed doable.Previously, she did not want Nia to know because Josiah was almost dying. She was afraid that Nia could not take it.However, listening to his tone at that moment, it seemed like he was not going to die. Meredith was s
"I know. Go on." Meredith ruffled Nia's hair."Love you, Mommy." Nia affectionately pecked on Meredith's cheeks before happily entering her school.Meredith smiled in relief before getting up and leaving the kindergarten.When she brought breakfast to the hospital, Josiah had already been transferred to another ward. At that moment, he was leaning against the headboard while dealing with an emergency work issue on his tablet."You're still working in times like this. It seems you have recovered quite well," Meredith said while placing the breakfast by the side of the bed.Josiah immediately furrowed his brows. He turned to her and said, "It was alright until you mentioned it. Once you've mentioned it, my injuries start to hurt again."Meredith looked at his bandaged head and asked, "What did the doctor say? You should be out of danger already, right?""The doctor said that there is a blood clot inside. If I can't absorb it on my own, I'll have to take it out with surgery."A cr
