Chapter 553
It was as if Meredith read Jenny’s mind so she added, “I also wanted to ask him about Zade’s surgery. Could you
please give a call and let him know?”
“Oh, okay. Let me make the call then.” Jenny reached for her phone.
It was Yoseph who answered the phone. At the mention that Meredith wanted to send food for Josiah, Yoseph did
not think much into it and agreed.
When Meredith arrived at Shelby Group, Josiah was in the middle of a meeting.
Yoseph let her into Josiah’s office and smiled. “I’m sure Sir would be happy when he knows that you’re here to send
him soup.”
Meredith simply tugged at the corners of her lips and said nothing more.

time.”
“That’s alright, I can wait.”
She had waited for him longer than that, twenty minutes was nothing to her.
She was only worried that Josiah would not even give her the chance to wait.
“What would you like to drink, Ma’am? I’ll prepare them for you.”
“It’s okay, just a glass of water will do.”
“Sure, I’ll go get it for you.” Yoseph walked out of the room and shortly after, returned to the room with a glass of
water in his hands.
Holding the flask in her hand, Meredith was sitting on the couch and she started to feel a bit sleepy. She leaned into
the couch and soon fell asleep.
She was slowly woken up when she felt someone nudging her.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Josiah’s perfectly sculptured face with the ice-cold
expression, as always.
She flinched a little before shooting him a glare. “Josiah Shelby, you…”
Josiah pointed at the chicken soup in her hands and chuckled, “Seems like the chicken soup is really precious to you,
just look at you hugging it.” Meredith looked at the flask in her arms and slowly remembered why she was here. Her
expression softened and said, “The chicken soup tastes good today so I thought of bringing some for you to try.”
She then realized that the excuse was a bit lousy, so she quickly added, “And you’re right that the only choice I have
is to stay by your side.” “And when did you come to this realization?” Josiah was staring at her with a smile on his
face,
Meredith replied, “Last night.”

Josiah could not help but get jealous at the thought of Meredith’s sudden change in her attitude could be because of
Zade.
Inwardly, Meredith seethed, ‘He actually had the nerves of bringing up the mention of Zade?’
Meredith was clenching her jaw tightly as she was reminded of what Zya accused her of earlier,
But she did not let her emotions show. With still a smile on her face, she said, “Josiah Shelby, didn’t we agree that I
will not meet Zade again?”
“I didn’t think that you’d still remember.”
“Even though I’m an impatient person, I still keep my promises,” Meredith replied as she opened the cover of the
flask and poured the soup for Josiah.
Unlike Meredith, Josiah did not have any medical background and naturally, he would not notice anything strange
about the soup. Josiah drank the soup without any suspicions.
