"Finished considering?" she asked mockingly. "I never even started." "Josiah, you obviously don't trust me. Why do you want to remarry me?" She couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of Nia? Or for the reputation of the Shelby family?" "You overthink. I do trust you." Josiah's eyes fluttered to the side. It was a blatant lie. Meredith nodded deliberately. "Okay, let's wait until that day." Josiah also nodded in agreement. "Then I'll go down to eat cake." Meredith turned his back and said, "Actually, if you don't want to eat it, you don't have to. You don't have to force yourself. Nia is already asleep anyway." Josiah paused for a while, then continued to walk downstairs. "Don't worry, I won't force myself to do anything." Meredith personally sent Nia to school and went to work in the hospital. In the hospital, she accidentally saw Quinley. "Edith, are you alright?" Quinley came over to her and asked with concern. Meredith guessed that she had recei
Meredith was so busy that she realized she was late to pick up Nia. She called Josiah, and the call connected. She heard a woman's voice. "Mr. Shelby, Miss Yena will let you in now." Meredith's words got stuck in her throat, and she didn't know what to say. "Got it." After Josiah responded, he said to Meredith, "Edith, what's the matter? I'm a little busy here." "It's nothing, it's just that I need to work overtime temporarily, and Nia has not been picked up yet..." "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to pick her up." Josiah said, "You can work overtime in peace." After speaking, he hung up the phone. "..." Meredith looked at the phone that had been hung up and couldn't help but feel sad. Sure enough, after his first love woke up, his daughter was not that important anymore. She thought that when picking up Nia, he would immediately volunteer. Apparently, that was not the case. Meredith shook her head, adjusted her mood, and resumed her work. After
She rushed to the school, parked the car on the side of the road, and began to look for Nia. "Ma'am, I'm sorry." Lily was frightened and said while crying, "It's all my fault. I was just waiting at the school gate and didn't think of looking for her earlier." "What's the use of talking about it now?" Meredith grabbed her and said anxiously, "Have you looked for her all along this road? Have you looked for her at home?" "I've searched those places several times. Even Alfred and the others came out to help find her together, but I didn't see Nia." Lily said. "How could this happen!" Meredith's tears were about to fall again. "Madam, is this Nia's?" Lily suddenly walked to the side of the road and picked up a small pink hairpin from the ground. Meredith took a look and nodded hastily: "It's Nia's. It's hers." Josiah bought this hairpin for Nia when he went shopping last time. Nia had always liked to wear it. Meredith rushed towards where the card was found, and whe
Nia looked down at her and called softly, "Mummy, I thought you didn't want Nia anymore." "How could it be? That would never happen!" Meredith said lovingly. She let go of her little body and looked her up and down. "Nia, what's the matter? Where is your injury? Why did you have a car accident?" The medical staff beside him said, "She was accidentally hit by a car and had three stitches on her forehead, but fortunately, her brain was not hurt." "I just asked her how to contact daddy and mommy, and she said that she doesn't remember where her home is or daddy's mommy's phone number." The nurse reminded her, "Madam, the address of her home and the phone number should still be memorized by the child in the future, just in case." Meredith's heart twitched, and the pain was so intense that she could hardly breathe. How could she forget to let Nia memorize her home address and phone number? Before that, Nia had memorized daddy and mommy's phone numbers by heart, but she
"Okay, thank you, Lily." Not long after, Lily came over with dinner.After Meredith finished feeding Nia, she also ate a little. When the IV drip was finished, Nia was already asleep, and Meredith unattached the IV drip from her hand. Meredith couldn't bear to wake her up, seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, so she simply let her stay in the hospital and continue to sleep. Gradually, she fell asleep on the bed. She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was awakened by footsteps. It was Josiah. After entering the door, he asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Why did you run out of school and get hit by a car?" He bombarded her with a series of questions, but there was no response. He shifted his gaze from Nia to Meredith and stared at her. "Edith, how was Nia hurt?" "Mister Shelby remembers that he has a daughter now?" Meredith stared at him with anger and grievance in her eyes. She felt furious when she thought of her fear and nervousness when
Josiah immediately stood up from the chair, glanced at Meredith, and said to the doctor, "Doctor, how is my daughter? Does she need to be hospitalized?" "Although she only has a few stitches, in order to avoid infection, I suggest staying for one or two nights, but if you insist, you can leave." The attending doctor said. Josiah said, "We'll leave." Meredith didn't expect him to say this, so she hurriedly said, "Why don't you stay? The doctor suggested staying for a night or two." "Nia doesn't want to be hospitalized, so I asked the hospital to arrange a few doctors to come home with us." The attending doctor and the nurse looked at each other, thinking he was joking. However, Meredith stopped talking immediately. For Josiah, transferring a few people from the hospital to take care of Nia at home was just a matter of a few phone calls. It couldn't be easier. She looked at Nia and noticed that she was smiling in relief. That expression said it all. Daddy was the best
Josiah nodded. "Don't worry, my appointment with Doctor Joshua is at the beginning of the month." "That's good." Meredith left the kitchen with the noodles in her hand, and didn't talk to him anymore. The next morning, Nia seemed to be fine again. She happily got up and went to school, and when Meredith reminded her that she was injured and could not go to school, she raised her hand and touched her forehead. Nia's face fell, and she said in great disappointment, "But Nia really wants to go to school." "But Nia is injured. It's easy for you to get an infection outside." Meredith comforted her patiently, "So let's go to school when your wounds are better, shall we?" "Okay." Nia touched her forehead and asked, "Mummy, why is Nia injured? Is it because of she is being naughty?" "..." Meredith's heart tightened, and she looked at her in surprise. "Nia doesn't remember?" Seeing Nia shaking her head, Meredith almost suffered from a breakdown. She even forgot about such an i
She stared at Quinley in front of her and asked timidly, "Why are you here?" Quinley looked at her again in surprise, and then asked back, "Do you know me?" "You are Miss Allison, of course I know you." Quinley had a stunned expression. "Oh, it seems that Miss Yena is not as... ignorant as I imagined." "You are Edith's good friend, and I have a good relationship with Edith." Yena clenched her blankets tightly in both hands, stared at her and asked, "So why did you come to see me?" "You are Edith's good friend, and since I know Edith very well, I am treating you as my friend as well." "But even Edith never came to see me." "Edith, she..." Quinley thought for a while, then smiled slightly, "She probably didn't dare to come." "Why?" "Why... Didn't Josiah tell you? " Yena shook her head. "Mister Josiah didn't tell me anything." "Oh, no wonder." Quinley had an understanding expression, and the smile in her eyes was very queer... … Josiah was indeed in a meeting.
