Chapter 1062
“Yeah, Sir. Miss Meredith went to lengths to prepare dinner for you and Nia. You should at least try some.”
“It‘s fine.”
Josiah stood up from the chair. “Nia, you should go eat now before the food turns cold.”
He then went back to his study.
It had been a long time since he tasted Meredith‘s cooking and he craved them. But he wanted Meredith to feel
what he felt when his good intentions were ignored.
For the sake of making Meredith feel what he had felt, Josiah was willing to stay hungry.
When Lily showed up at the dining hall with Nia, Meredith asked urgently, “So, how is he?”
“Sir said that he feels fine and he‘s not having a fever,” Lily went on, “but that‘s just what he claimed, I don‘t know
for sure if he is really okay. After all, I didn‘t take his temperature.”

Meredith then turned to Nia and asked, “Nia, did you not try to check if Daddy is having a fever?”
It would be more appropriate for Nia to touch Josiah.
Nia shook her head and then added, “Mommy, should I go upstairs and check?”
“Okay, go on.” Meredith nodded.
Nia then ran upstairs.
Hearing that it was Meredith who sent Nia to check if he was having a fever, Josiah felt slightly relieved.
He bent over and let Nia put her hand on his forehead. “It‘s a bit hot, but I am fine, darling. I
just have to take some pills.”
Nia touched her father‘s forehead and touched her own. Tilting her head, she asked, “Is it hot though? Why do I
feel like it‘s the same?”
“It is quite hot. You can touch here if you don‘t believe me.” Josiah then put Nia‘s hand on his neck. Indeed, the
temperature was higher around his neck compared to his forehead.
Nia reported back to her mother, “Mommy, I‘ve checked Daddy‘s body temperature, it feels slightly hot but Daddy
said he took some medicine and he will be fine soon.”
Nia then comforted her mother, “Don‘t worry too much, Mommy. Let‘s eat now.”
Meredith cleared her throat and put a piece of meatball on Nia‘s plate. “Mm, let‘s eat.”
After dinner, Nia held her mother‘s hands in hers and asked, “Mommy, are you leaving again?
“Yes, darling. I still have to go to work tomorrow.” Meredith unconsciously took a glance upstairs. She thought that it
was rather strange that Josiah did not even care to greet her when she was leaving soon.
She wondered if Josiah‘s infection was too serious that he did not want her to worry so he was
choosing to avoid her.
But if he was really sick, he should have gone to the hospital.
Did he hate going to the hospital that much?

Lily, who was standing at a side, added, “Yes, Miss Meredith. It‘d be great if you could stay here for one night.
Besides, it would be nice to have someone with a medical background to be around to keep an eye on Sir.”
“What about the family physician? Did you not give him a call?”
“Sir doesn‘t like having strangers in his house. He didn‘t allow me to call.”
Lily then added, “But if you‘re willing to stay, I‘m sure Sir will be really happy.”
Would he be happy?
Inwardly, Meredith sulked a little as she thought to herself that if he really wanted her to stay, he would not have
avoided her the moment he came home from work.
Josiah‘s unusual behavior led Meredith to finally decide to stay for a night.
Nia went back to her room to finish her homework whilst Meredith stayed next to her, reading a book.
Even after Nia showered and went to bed, Meredith did not see Josiah at all.
If Josiah was in his bedroom, Meredith would have guessed that it was because he had fallen asleep. But he was in
his study.
