Meredith hurriedly added, “Grandma, don’t take it to heart about what Charlie said. I’m sure Josiah will be fine.”
Josiah’s grandmother nodded but she grabbed Meredith’s hands and said, “Edith, I understand what you guys are
trying to say but I still want to go see him. Would you please come to the hospital with me?”
“Grandma…”
“Stop. I will not change my mind.” Josiah’s grandmother started crying.
At the sight of her tears, Meredith nodded. “Okay, I will go with you.”
Was Meredith reluctant to go deep down?
No. She did want to go visit Josiah.
Even though Josiah and she were already divorced and Josiah did let her down many times, he was after all Nia’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfather and he had been of great help to her lately.
She was a human with feelings after all. Right now, Meredith prayed that Josiah would be okay and she too wanted
to check on him.
Meredith looked at Nia, wanting to explain the situation to her when she realized that Nia was staring at her with
tears welling up in her eyes.
“Nia, darling…” She walked over and pulled Nia into her arms. “Don’t worry, your Daddy will be fine.”
“Mommy, I also want to go see Daddy,” Nia started sobbing.
Even though Nia had not said a lot earlier, she heard it loud and clear that her father had lost a lot of blood in the
accident.
She too was just as worried as the adults.
Before Meredith could say anything, Charlie said, “The hospital is full of bacteria and you will only get in the way
with so many of you there. Edith, I think it’s better if you stay at home with Nia and let my mom and grandmother
visit Josiah instead.”
Charlie did not want Meredith to visit Josiah at the hospital.
The adults understood what Charlie was implying.
Charlie’s mother naturally took her son’s side, and said, “Charlie is right. Meredith, you stay home with Charlie and
Nia. I will go to the hospital with Grandma.”
Meredith felt slightly disappointed but still, she nodded.
“I don’t want to stay at home. I want to go see Daddy,” Nia sobbed.
Pulling Nia into a hug again, Meredith comforted her, “Be good now, Nia. Daddy needs a lot of rest and we will only
bother him with so many of us there. Let’s go see Daddy once he gets better, okay?”
“Mommy, I will be quiet, I will try my best not to wake Daddy up.” “No, darling. You will still bother your Daddy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“… You’re a bad person, Mommy!” Watching Charlie’s mother and her grandmother leaving, Nia stomped her feet
angrily and ran upstairs.
Meredith wanted to go after her but she came to a stop and went to see Josiah’s grandmother off.
“Grandma, be careful when you get down from the car later.” After making sure that Josiah’s grandmother was
settled into the car, she hesitated before finally adding, “Let me know if anything happens.”
Josiah’s grandmother was too worried to say anything else. She simply nodded and urged the driver to start driving
Charlie’s mother then said to Meredith, “Take good care of Charlie.”
After seeing them off, Meredith returned to the house.
Meredith felt slightly uncomfortable to see Charlie who was having dessert at the dining table as if nothing had
happened. Josiah got into a car accident but Charlie did not seem to be worried about him at all.
Even if Josiah and he were not close, he did not have to be this cold toward Josiah, right?
She could not help but ask, “Charlie, don’t you want to know how Josiah is?”
Charlie lifted his head, looked at her, and shook his head. “Edith, why should I care about how he is?” “Because…
you guys are cousins after all.”
