Chapter 864
Meredith fell into a deep, deep sleep. And she too had a lot of nightmares.
It was already evening when she woke up. After brushing up, she made a call to Penny and asked for Nia.
After a while, Nia’s voice was heard on the other end of the call, “Mommy!”
Hearing the excitement in her voice, Meredith asked, “Did something happen, darling? You sound happy.”
Nia replied, “Mm, great-grandma and I went to visit Daddy at the hospital today. Daddy had woken up and he even
talked to me.”
“Is that so?” Meredith could finally be relieved as Josiah seemed to be out of danger.
After all, Josiah got into the accident because of Charlie. Meredith did not hope for Charlie to feel too guilty
“That’s good to know, sweetheart.” Meredith dared not ask too much about Josiah and she ended the call after

She walked out of the bedroom and noticed the smell of someone cooking in the kitchen,
Walking toward the kitchen, she asked, “Wilma, where is Charlie?”
“Ma’am, Sir is in here, cooking for you,” Wilma responded.
Meredith stepped into the kitchen to see Charlie sitting in front of the stove, cooking.
She was stunned. But quickly, she ran over to him and said, “Charlie, what are you doing? It’s too dangerous
Charlie looked at her and replied nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, Edith. It’s only my legs that I can’t use, not my hands.”
“But…it’s still too dangerous for you to be cooking like this,” Meredith added, “here, let me do it instead.”
“No, I want to cook for you today,” Charlie replied, determined.
Wilma added, “Ma’am, I’ve tried my best to persuade Sir but he doesn’t listen and he insists on cooking for you.”
Meredith looked at Charlie and thought that he was determined.
She then said to Wilma, “Alright then. Wilma, you can go ahead and finish up what you’re doing. I’ll stay here.”
Wilma of course was glad to be removed from the situation. Without any objections, she then walked out of the
kitchen
“Why did you suddenly want to cook?” Meredith asked.
Even though Charlie grew up being pampered and well-provided, he was good at cooking. Meredith had thed his
cooking before.
But things are different now. Charlie was bound to a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for him to be cooking
“Because I wanted to apologize sincerely to you.”
Charlie went on,”I’ve given it a hard thought about what you said earlier and I agree with what you said. I admit
that I was acting too recklessly and did not think about the consequences.”
Meredith did not expect to hear these words from Charlie. She thought that these words meant more than him

Meredith was rather moved. Holding Charlie’s hands in hers, she said, “Charlie, I’m really glad that you think this
way. Let’s leave the past in the past. As long as you don’t do it again, you’ll still be the Charlie that I like.”
Charlie nodded. “I’ll do my best to become the person that you like.”
The dish in the pan was ready and Meredith took the spatula from Charlie’s hand and said, “Here, let me do it
instead.”
“But I said that I wanted to cook for you today.”
“I appreciate the thought, Charlie, really. Anyway, I don’t have anything else to do.”
Meredith prepared the last dish and Charlie had already set up the table.
She took a look at the table full of dishes and took out a bottle of red wine. “Charlie, let’s have some red wine
tonight.”
Meredith was glad that Charlie had acknowledged his wrongdoings and was willing to change. Charlie, of course,
had no objections.
