"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
"I can't sleep without taking a bath.""It's not like you can fall asleep after taking a shower," Meredith whispered."So you know I can't sleep?" Josiah suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.Meredith was going to get a pot of hot water, but she fell directly on top of him because of him."You—" She quickly stood up from him and said anxiously, "Don't blame me if you are crushed, Josiah!""Don't you want to wipe my body for me?" Josiah did not let go. He gently traced his fingertips on her wrist, and his eyes softened. "If you can accompany me to sleep, I don't mind if I don't wipe or take a shower."If she was there, he would be able to fall asleep.Meredith chose to help him wipe his body.She broke free from his big palm, took the basin, and walked to the bathroom to get some hot water."Mister Josiah, can you unbutton yourself?" she asked.Of course Josiah could, but of course, he would not do it by himself. He casually picked up a magazine from the bedside table an
"In my eyes, you are no different from a lump of meat, so stop being narcissistic."In fact, Meredith's words were more like a reminder to herself that she would not be embarrassed to treat him as her patient.Josiah looked at her depressedly, then grabbed her arm while she was not paying attention, and dragged her to the bed.Meredith froze for a moment and instinctively began to struggle. "Josiah, let me go.""Meredith, I have to let you get to know me again." He threw the towel from her hand and put her under him."What is there to know? Let go of me!""At least you have to realize that I'm not just a lump of meat," he said.He undid his clothes when he wiped his body just now, and now his body was close to her. Meredith could clearly feel his strength and enthusiasm.She had to admit that he was very different from a lump of meat!However, she stubbornly continued to struggle. "Josiah, this is a hospital, and doctors may come in for rounds at any time.""Don't worry, ther
"I see that you had a pleasant chat with her just now. How could you not have her phone number?""You're being jealous.""..." Meredith glanced at his still tightly closed eyes, and decided to shut up to avoid making too many mistakes.This night, she was trapped in the hospital bed by Josiah.She could feel that Mister Josiah slept well. Meredith initially planned to return to her bed after he fell asleep, so as not to be seen by others.However, she gradually fell asleep too, and they slept till dawn.In the morning, she was about to get out of bed and go back to make breakfast for Nia, but was pulled by Josiah."Where are you going?" He had not fully woken up yet, and his voice was still hoarse."I'll go back and make breakfast for Nia and take her to school.""Don't need to trouble yourself, just leave it to Lily." Josiah did not want her to be so tired from running around.It was the first time that Meredith did not send Nia to school. In order to persuade him to let her
