Chapter 321
After spending so much time together, Josiah soon figured out that he just had to kiss her to calm her down whenever she threw a fit.
It worked the same this time.
Meredith was almost out of breath and she had already forgotten what she had done earlier. By the time the cops showed up, both of them were all over each other
and the cops could only get their attention by letting out an awkward cough. Only
then did Josiah let go of Meredith‘s lips. Pressing her head against his chest, Josiah
then said to the cops, “Sir, would you mind taking away this crazy woman with you? I will drop by · the police station in a bit.” “Fine. But do remember to drop by.”
The cops then took Margot with them and drove away. Josiah gave a light tap on
Meredith’s back and said, “Edith, it‘s all fine now. Let‘s go in and have our meal.”
Meredith looked like she was in a daze. She looked up and stared at him, asking,
“What did I do just now? Did anything happen?”
“It‘s nothing. Just that a crazy woman almost bumped into you.” Josiah took a coat from his car and covered the knife cut on his arm
“Let‘s head in.” Placing his arms on her shoulder, Josiah walked into the restaurant
with Meredith.
Meredith shook her head instead. “Joe, can we not eat? I want to go home.”
It seemed like Meredith was traumatized by the incident earlier.
Josiah nodded. “Sure, let‘s eat at home then.”
He then turned around to open the car door for Meredith. Josiah reached for his
phone and made a call to Yoseph. He had Yoseph make a statement at the police
station while he went home with Meredith.
At night, Meredith had the same nightmare again.
This time, she was screaming out for Nia.
Josiah was jolted awake by her. With a look of aghast on his face, Josiah asked, Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Edith, you…”
Josiah was worried that she had gotten her memories back.
Meredith stared at him and replied softly, “Joe, I dreamt that we had a child together. Nia was her name. But she didn‘t let me hug her or touch her. She just ran away from me.” Inwardly, Josiah was relieved.
It was only a dream.
But Meredith dreamt of Nia. Josiah thought that it was not a good sign.
“Edith, it was just a nightmare. Don‘t be too bothered by it, hmm?” Josiah then pulled her
closer into his arms and comforted her, “I‘m here, aren‘t I? Go back to sleep.”
Meredith lifted her face to look at him. “Joe, do we have a child together?” Her question was like a sharp knife that pierced through his heart. “No,” He replied. “Okay.” Meredith did not continue asking but simply buried her face into his chest and closed her eyes.
Three days later, Josiah‘s grandmother had finally agreed to be discharged from the hospital. Josiah‘s grandmother had been in a long conversation with Meredith in the
room. Josiah took a glance at his wristwatch and knocked on the door of his
grandmother‘s room. Pushing the door open, he walked in and said, “Grandma, there‘s something I need to talk to . Edith about, can I borrow her for a moment?” As usual, Josiah‘s grandmother was annoyed by him. “What is there for you and Edith to talk about?
Aren‘t you leaving soon?” “Grandma, I…” “What? Edith doesn‘t need you. I can take good care of her.” Josiah sighed helplessly, “Alright then. Thanks, Grandma.” Just
when Josiah was about to leave, Meredith got up and walked to him. “Joe, how long will you be gone for work this time?”
