Chapter 574 In the evening, as usual, Meredith had made soup for Josiah.
Josiah was working in his study when Meredith entered the room with a bowl of soup in her hand. She put down the
tray and sat down in a chair.
Josiah took a glance at her. “Seems like you have a lot of time on your hands.”
“Yeah. I’ve got no job, no kids. There’s only so much that I can do,” Meredith replied flatly.” since there’s nothing for
me to do, let me keep you company then.”
Josiah studied the expression on her face and pulled into a smirk “Meredith, Doctor Joshua will not call at this time.
So you can save your time from waiting around here.” Josiah refused to believe that Meredith would want to keep
him company while he was working. He immediately thought that Meredith was waiting for Doctor Joshua to call.
Meredith was exposed immediately. Not denying anything, she simply asked, “When would he usually call then?”

“Can you make a call to him?” Meredith walked over to him as she stared at him with that look of desperation in her
eyes.
Looking back at her, Josiah replied, “What’s the use even if I call him first? The answer will be the same. If there’s
any progress on Nia’s condition, Doctor Joshua would be in contact with me right away.”
Meredith was speechless.
Meredith had already expected the answer but still, she wanted to see if Doctor Joshua would call.
Josiah put his work aside and started drinking the soup that Meredith had brought for him.
He took a sip of the soup and then frowned. “What soup is this? It tastes weird.” Meredith glanced at him and said,
“Don’t worry, it’s not poisoned.” Josiah of course knew that the soup was not poisoned but the soup tasted weird
and it was hard to swallow.
Looking at his scrunched-up face, Meredith added, “You’re still recovering aren’t you? It’s a herbal soup that would
help with your recovery.”
Josiah sniffed at the soup, lifted his head, and looked at her. “You want me to recover fast? Aren’t you worried that
you won’t be able to get out of bed again tomorrow?”
Even though the herbal soup did have the function, that was never Meredith’s intention.
“I’ve picked the herbs personally and it’s really good for your recovery. Here, let me feed you.” Meredith reached
out her hand but was stopped by Josiah.
“You’re going all out simply because you want to see Nia, yes?” Josiah was skeptical that Meredith would risk herself
being ‘tormented’ again and prepared the herbal soup for him. Meredith avoided his gaze. “I’m glad that you’re
aware.” Perhaps Josiah was tired of Meredith who was always at his throat, he was pleased to see Meredith tame
and well-behaved.

Tugging the corners of his lips, Josiah sat up straight. “Feed me then. With your lips.”
Her hands around the bowl shook a little. Meredith cursed at Josiah under her breath. Did he really enjoy teasing
her that much? “What’s wrong? You don’t want to?” Josiah arched one of his brows and added, “1 remembered you
did a great job last time.”
Meredith thought to herself, ‘It’s not like you’d let me go if I said I don’t want to do it.’
Meredith knew better that he would never.
She would never be able to get away whenever Josiah had made up his mind. For the sake of wanting to get away
from him as soon as possible, Meredith took a sip of the soup and pressed her lips against his lips. Meredith decided
to sit on his lap because it was difficult to feed him while standing up. Josiah’s body tensed up as he reflexively
wrapped his arms around her waist.
In a slightly husky voice, he said, “Meredith Leighton, you’re testing my patience, aren’t you?
Holding his face in her hands, Meredith responded, “You forced me to do it, didn’t you?”
