Chapter 980
During the evening when Meredith was getting ready to get off work, she received a call from Nia’s teacher telling
her that Nia was sent to the hospital because Nia was feeling unwell.
At the news, Meredith was stunned and she quickly came back to her senses and asked concernedly,” What
happened to Nia? How is she?”
“She might have eaten something that she was allergic to during lunch,” The teacher sounded apologetic, “I’m so
sorry, Miss Meredith. Our caretaker just started not long ago and she hasn’t fully memorized the kids’ information.
She might not know that Nia is allergic to peanuts…”
Meredith interrupted her, “How is Nia now? Which hospital is she at?”
“Mister Josiah had informed me that Nia should be sent to Crest Care Hospital if anything should happen, So…”
“Okay, thanks.” Meredith then started running toward the door.

“Something urgent came up. Goldie, please take care of the rest.”
She then walked into the lift before Goldie could even reply to her.
Meredith got into her car, started the engine, put on her Bluetooth earphones, and made a call to Josiah.
Very quickly, Josiah answered the call and Meredith asked urgently, “Do you already know what happened to Nia?
Have you made arrangements at the hospital?”
“Yes,” Josiah comforted her, “Edith, calm down. Nia is okay, it’s not serious.”
“Really?”
“Yes. The director of the hospital is attending to Nia personally. So don’t worry.”
Meredith finally felt slightly relieved after getting Josiah’s reassurance.
But she was worried that Josiah might be lying to her so that she would not be worried. Hence, she rushed her way
to the hospital.
By the time she showed up at the hospital, Nia was in the ER.
Meredith felt her legs go weak and Josiah quickly caught her in his arms. “Are you okay, Edith?”
“She’s in the ER! How could you tell me that she is fine?” Drowning in feelings of worriedness, Meredith hit him and
cried, “You’re a liar, Josiah! Why did you lie to me!”
“I didn’t lie, Edith. It is normal that she is in the ER because she had an allergic reaction. Besides, the doctor came
out earlier and informed me that Nia had already regained her consciousness.”
Meredith took another look at the door that was closed tightly. “She woke up? And you’re not lying to me?”
“It’s the truth and I’m not lying.” Josiah held Meredith in his arms tightly, worried that she would collapse.
Looking at Meredith whom he had missed and yearned for, he felt a rush of emotions in him.
He wondered if this was the only way that he could only get to see her, only if something happened to Nia.
Meredith calmed down gradually. But soon, she complained, “What are you even doing? Shouldn’t you remind the
teachers that Nia is allergic to peanuts? If anything happens to Nia, I will not forgive you!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at how she got all worked up, Josiah looked at her and said, “Edith, if you worry so much about Nia, why not
come back and we’ll take care of her together.”
Meredith was stunned. But she quickly shook her head.
She too wanted to stay to protect Nia, but what about Charlie then?
She sniffled and said, “I am partly responsible for what happened to Nia too. I will do my best to remind the
teachers at school again.”
Seeing how Meredith was determined, Josiah felt a wave of disappointment crashing into him.
It seemed as if Meredith would not be swayed by whatever he said anymore. Hence, he could only comfort her, “It
is my fault for what happened today. Don’t worry, I will do what I can to make sure that this won’t happen again.”
Meredith was rather flustered that Josiah was being extra nice.
“Thank you,” She said. “Why would you need to thank me? Nia is my daughter too.”
