Chapter 307
“Perhaps this is Miss Meredith’s way of escaping. Let’s just observe and see.”
“Okay.”
“Mister Josiah, if there is nothing else, I’ll go attend to my work.”
“Go.”
After the doctor left, Josiah took away the chocolate in Meredith’s arms and coaxed gently,” Edith, let’s have your meal first, alright?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I already said that I’m not having my meal. Why are you so annoying, Joe?”
“But I want to eat. I’m hungry.” “You’re hungry?” “Yes. I’m hungry. Will you eat with me?” Sure enough, Meredith threw the chocolate by the side and nodded. “Okay, let’s eat quickly, then.”
Josiah waved at the caretaker by the side. The caretaker immediately served them the dinner that was prepared long ago. Josiah accepted the bowl of oatmeal porridge from the caretaker and fed Meredith. “Come, have some porridge.” “Aren’t you hungry? You eat first.” Meredith pushed the spoon toward his mouth, asking him to eat first.
Josiah opened his mouth and accepted the spoonful of porridge. Then, he scooped another spoonful and placed it near his mouth. “Okay, now it’s your turn, Edith.”
Meredith happily opened her mouth and took a spoonful.
They took turns feeding each other. Soon, the bowl of oatmeal porridge was finished. Josiah used the same way to feed her with the second bowl of porridge.
When she was full, he was full too.
At night, the doctor came over to remind Meredith that it was time for bed. Meredith tugged Josiah’s arm and said coquettishly, “Joe, I don’t want to sleep alone. Will you stay with me?”
Josiah nodded. “Okay.”
Meredith immediately moved aside to give Josiah some space. Josiah burrowed himself under the covers and hugged her in his arms.
Meredith pressed her cheeks against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. She closed her eyes in utter satisfaction.
Josiah lowered his head and looked at her. He asked, “Edith, are you happy?”
“Yes.” Meredith nodded without thinking.
“That’s good,” Josiah replied. As long as she was happy, it did not matter if she had lost her memory or gone mad.
Josiah looked at his grandmother’s angry expression. He had to try to appease her. “Grandma, don’t be angry. Nia is not dead, she…” “You’re still lying to me!” Josiah’s grandmother not only had a sharp tongue, but she also knew how to throw things. She picked up the tissue box on the table and threw it at Josiah, hitting it squarely on his forehead.
Josiah furrowed his brows a little.
“The nurse told me all about it. Nia is dead, and Meredith has gone mad. How dare you still lie to me that Nia is not dead?” Josiah’s grandmother was so furious she cried. “I dare you to bring me my
walking stick. I’ll beat you to death, you rascal!” Josiah took her walking stick from behind the door and passed it to her. “Grandma, if hitting me will relieve you of anger, please do it.”
Josiah’s grandmother did not hold back. She accepted the walking stick and hit it on Josiah’s leg. “Josiah, do you think that I don’t dare to hit you? I have already told you to do a DNA test with Nia, yet you refused to do so! How inhumane are you! You’re not worthy to be Nia’s father!” She hit him on the leg again. Josiah has been hit twice in a row. He was in so much pain he left out a muffled grunt. “Grandma, I was wrong.”
