"How are you going to feed me?" Josiah asked.Meredith smiled. "If you want me to feed you with my mouth, I'll advise you to give up this thought right now.""How cold." Josiah was a little disappointed.Meredith came out from his arms. She handed him the medicine and cup, then ordered him, "Eat up, or else, I'll be even colder."Josiah immediately took the medicine obediently.Meredith then looked at the few thermoses by the table. They were all filled with delicious and nutritious food.As expected, the great Mister Josiah was not lacking anyone to care for him in the hospital!"What do you want to eat?" Meredith asked.Josiah casually replied, "Anything. After all, you didn't make it. Whatever I eat will be tasteless."Meredith was speechless. Was he trying to blame her?She took some porridge out of the bowl. "You're still badly hurt. Let's give you some porridge which is easier to swallow."Although she did not think of him that weak, seeing how his head was injured, sh
"I'm serious." "Josiah, what do you mean by this?" She curtly turned around and looked at him."Nothing." "But it's not that you don't know that I would rather you treat me coldly and ignore me like before, or even despise me. That way, at least I still have some freedom."Josiah said calmly, "You're right. I have nothing on you anymore, so I can't do to you what I did in the past."Were all men that cheap?Josiah hesitated for a while before letting go of her hand. "Forget about it. Go to work."Meredith never thought that he would change his mind so quickly. She started getting suspicious on the contrary, "Are you serious?""Yes," Josiah said, "I will respect your interests and hobbies.""But that was not what you said just now, Mister Josiah." Meredith was worried that he was up to something again."Edith, I don't want you to go to work not because I think that your work is not good enough or that I want to control your freedom, but I just can't stand the thought of you
"It's okay, Daddy's injury has been cured by Nia." Josiah smiled and pulled her body back into his arms and asked, "When Daddy isn't at home, do you listen to Mommy?"Nia nodded, then shook her head again."Huh? What does shaking your head mean?""Nia cried this morning." "Why?""Nia misses Daddy, I thought Daddy didn't want me anymore."Josiah saw the scene of her crying through her mobile phone and looking at her aggrieved expression at this time, he could not help but feel moved.Raising his hand and rubbing the top of her hair, he smiled. "Silly girl, you are so cute, how could Daddy not want you?"Since acknowledging Nia as his daughter, Mister Josiah's smiles have increased, and he also showed that he was a bit of a 'daughter slave', which meant that he spoiled Nia a little bit too much.Not only did Meredith find out about this, but he also realized it himself."Daddy, look, Nia brought you desserts." Nia took the dessert bag from the table and took out a piece of de
"Daddy, did you ask the kitchen to make chicken legs for Nia?" The little foodie asked, drooling.Josiah nodded. "Of course, Nia came to the hospital to see Daddy and bought dessert for Daddy. Of course, Daddy also prepared something for Nia.""Thank you, Daddy." "You are welcome."Father and daughter clapped their palms tacitly.Although the chicken legs made by the chef are not as delicious as the ones made by Mommy, Nia still ate them with relish.After eating, Meredith packed up the tableware, while Josiah sat on the hospital bed and watched an animation video with Nia.Not long after, Lily came to take Nia home.Meredith was puzzled. She looked at Lily and asked, "Lily, are you here to bring Nia back? I can take her."Lily did not dare to say that Josiah asked her to come. She said with a laugh, "Ma'am, I will take care of Nia. You can stay here and take care of Mister Josiah.""Lily, don't worry, there are so many people taking care of Mister Josiah, but Nia has never
"You—" Meredith stepped toward him. "So you admit that you taught Nia to be like this?""Didn't I swear just now? No.""If you didn't teach it, how could Nia say those words?"Josiah finally raised his face, stared at her, and said, "Meredith, you have underestimated Nia's desire to have Daddy and Mommy together.""..." Meredith was stunned. "What?""Didn't you find out? Nia is more afraid than me that you will leave this house."Josiah said solemnly, "She's sensitive and sensible. Sensible children are naturally more mature, especially in the aspects that she cares about the most.""So, you mean that all those things were self-taught?""Anyway, I definitely didn't teach her those things today."At first, in order to keep Meredith by her side, he did ask Nia to help her. However, he did not need to ask her later. Nia was already very proficient.He coughed dryly and said, "Next time, I'll scold her.""Are you going to scold her?" Meredith was speechless. "Didn't you just say
"Of course. He's in there." Meredith had a bit of a mischievous look."Thank you." Seeing her walking away, Quinley quickly followed. "By the way, Edith, the last time you asked me for help..."Meredith paused and turned to look at her. "How did it go?"After so long without a reply, she thought that Quinley had given up.Quinley shook her head. "It's not too bright. I asked people to go to Qira's hometown to find her, but no one knows where her sister went afterward.""Sure enough, it wouldn't be so easy after all." Meredith curled the corner of her lips bitterly."Edith, don't worry, I will continue to help you find her.""Okay, remember to tell me as soon as you have news."Meredith was not holding out hope."Okay, I will." Quinley asked, "By the way, are you going back?""No, I'm just wandering everywhere." Meredith curled the corners of her lips, looked at her, and said, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your chatting.""Edith, don't get me wrong.""Go ahead, go in.
Josiah picked up his phone and dialed Meredith's number.The phone rang for a long time before Meredith answered the call, her tone was a little cold. "What? Are you feeling unwell, Mister Josiah? Is it because you can't take medicine? Do you have trouble eating?""I'm doing fine now." Josiah said calmly, "I just want to inform you that I have guests here. You should take your time downstairs, maybe take a stroll before coming back.""..." Meredith on the other end of the phone thought she had heard it wrong.She took off her mobile phone and glanced at the call number on it. It was indeed Josiah!Was it not just Quinley? What other guests?She bit her lip and responded flatly, "Okay, have a good chat. Call me when you're done."After hanging up the phone, Meredith found a chair and sat down.She took out her mobile phone and looked for a book on the internet.After looking at it for a while, her eyes shifted to time.At first glance, only a minute has passed. It was so slow!
With that demeanor, there was no trace of dislike for Quinley at all.This duplicitous guy turned out to be powerless in the face of beautiful women.The most hateful thing for Meredith was that she unknowingly felt agitated because of his intimate interaction with Quinley.This was simply too embarrassing, too inappropriate!Meredith stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or leave the place, pretending not to see it.Then, she realized that it was getting late, and she had nowhere to go. So, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.When she pushed the door and stepped in, two people in the ward looked at her at the same time.Quinley smiled and stood up from the chair. "Meredith, you're back."Meredith nodded and said, "I didn't disturb you, did I?"Josiah looked at her while biting the apple and said, "Didn't I just say that I will call you after the guest leaves? Why did you come back by yourself?""..." Meredith gritted her teeth secretly and said to him, "It
