Chapter 502
Meredith could not sleep the entire night. When Josiah entered the bathroom to shower, she quietly sat up from her
bed and walked toward the garden. She looked sadly at the battered roses. She remembered everything. She
remembered how Nia cheered herself with the growth of the roses every day and the look of hope in Nia’s eyes
when she asked expectantly when the roses would bloom.
The roses, which were Nia’s beacon of hope, looked like they were about to die.
Meredith picked up the watering can and watered it frantically.
As if her frantic watering would help the dying plant back to life.
As soon as Josiah came out, seeing her watering the roses desperately, he hurriedly snatched the watering can
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom her hand and said, “Edith, it will die if you water it so much.”
Hearing his voice, Meredith froze slightly. She could not tell if it was due to fear or resentment toward him, but she
felt uncomfortable. Josiah did not suspect anything as Meredith came to see this rose first thing in the morning
every day. He comforted her as usual, “Don’t worry, Edith, when spring comes, the rose will revitalize.”
Meredith turned her back to him, and after adjusting her emotions, she turned around and smiled at him. “Really? If
I take care of it, will it grow back alive and well?”
“Well, you can’t pour so much water on it in one go.” Josiah looked at the bags under her eyes. “Why are your eyes
so swollen? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Meredith knew she looked terrible, so she nodded and said truthfully, “I couldn’t sleep.” “I initially wanted to take
you for a walk, but that doesn’t seem realistic now.”
Josiah sighed, took her hand, and said, “Let’s go and have breakfast. You can go back to sleep after breakfast.”
“Okay.” Meredith wanted to send him away, so she agreed to everything he said.
The two walked into the mansion together. Lily had already prepared breakfast. Meredith ate her food quietly, she
felt like every mouthful of food she swallowed was cutting into her throat.
Sitting with this man for breakfast was a punishment for her. She was afraid that she would start to puke if she ate
more of it. She put down the bowl and said, “Joe, I’m full. I’ll go back to my room to sleep first.” “Why are you
eating so little?” Josiah glanced at the leftover porridge in her bowl. “Don’t you want to eat porridge? Should I make
you a bowl of noodles or something?” “No, maybe I’m too sleepy to eat.” She shook her head.
Josiah put down the bowl and spoon and said, “I’ll go up with you.” Meredith turned around and said, “it’s getting
late, Joe, go to work. It’s not good to be late.” “It’s okay, don’t worry.” Josiah accompanied her back to the
bedroom, watching her lie down. He stared fixedly at her. “Edith, you have some quality sleep now. I will come back
in the afternoon to pick you up for dinner in the revolving restaurant, and we can watch the nighttime scenery
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtogether.” Meredith nodded. “Okay.”
“Good, don’t overthink.” He leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. “Edith, no matter what happened in the
past, I will love you in the future and do my best to make amends.” “I know.” Meredith nodded and smiled lightly at
him. “You are the best.”
“Good to know that.” Seeing the smile on her face, Josiah finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although her mood still seemed low, as long as she did not recover her memory, he believed he could slowly coax
her back.
After Josiah left, Meredith sat up from the bed quietly.
Although she had not slept all night, she did not feel sleepy at all. How could she sleep soundly when Nia’s
whereabouts were still unknown?
