Chapter 216
Josiah was cool as always, sitting high and mighty on top. Ever since she left Josiah’s mansion that morning, she never saw him ever again. At that moment, seeing him, her heart was once again calm like back when her mother passed away. She no longer had any hope for him. There was no need to show him any expression anymore.
On the contrary, Josiah looked at her closely. His gaze was so sharp it was as if he could see through her soul.
Meredith turned around and entered another lift. The doors of the lift slowly shut. Yoseph secretly snuck Josiah a glance. He laughed dryly and said, “Mister Josiah, did you get into some argument with Miss Meredith again recently?”
Josiah calmly said, “Is it that simple as an argument?” “Uh…but I think you do care for Miss Meredith. Why don’t you…”
“Why don’t I, what?” Josiah interrupted Yoseph. “Why don’t I forget about the terrible past and reconcile with her?” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes…”
“I’m not that forgiving. Also, I care for her. I care as to why she isn’t dead yet,” Josiah spat and walked out of the lift. Yoseph shook his head and quickly followed suit. When Meredith was wiping Nia down, she saw how Nia had lost even more. weight than before. She was so heartbroken her nose had turned sore from all the crying.
Although Nia was weak, she pointed at the rose on the windowsill , smiled, and said, “Mommy, look. The rose is sprouting.”
Meredith long knew that the rose had sprouted. She nodded. She was worried that Nia would hear her croaky voice, so she did not dare say a word. Nia feebly shook her arms. “Mommy, now that the rose has sprouted, will it blossom soon?” Meredith continued nodding her head.
Nia smiled even brighter. “That’s amazing. I’m going to get well soon.”
Meredith did not dare to tell Nia that her condition was never going to get better. She merely forced a smile and said, “Nia, you are right. You’ll get better soon.”
Meredith had said this for almost two years, yet it had never happened. The poor Nia still believed her. Zya brought breakfast over. Meredith fed Nia and ate some after Zya urged her to have some food. “The weather is great today. I’ll take Nia downstairs to have some air.” Zya put Nia in the wheelchair. She reminded Meredith. “Finish the food. If not, your body won’t be able to take it.”
“Mhm. I will finish eating.”
“Mommy, can we take the rose down to have some sunlight too?” Nia asked. “Sure.” Meredith put the pot in between Nia’s legs before saying to Zya, “Right, Zya. Take her to the balcony on the southern corner to have some sunlight. You don’t have to go downstairs.”
“Why?”
Meredith looked at Nia. She could not mention Josiah in front of her, so she said perfunctorily, “It’s nothing. I’m only afraid that it would be too windy downstairs.”
