“I’m quite irresponsible for letting you care for Nia alone.”
“So, are you sure you’re leaving?”
“Hmm.” Meredith gently nodded.
This was the answer, but Josiah still felt terrible inside. Only this time, he did not get worked up questioning her or
stopping her.
He chose silence instead.
Since they had to split, he would rather do it more dignified and elegant.
In the end, he only reminded her, “Once you’re there, take good care of yourself. Protect yourself. If you can’t take
it there any longer you can tell me. No matter where you are, I will be able to fetch you back.”

her bitter tears. She said, “Thank you. I believe that Charlie won’t forget about me.”
He would surely remember her. He would surely remember that she was the woman he wanted to marry.
The emergency room door finally opened, and Nia was pushed out by the medical staff.
Meredith quickly went to her and grabbed Nia’s hand while anxiously calling out, “Nia, Nia, are you okay? Are you
feeling better?”
Nia’s eyes were initially closed. When she heard Meredith’s voice, she instantly opened her eyes. Her eyes were
filled with delight. “Mommy, you’re finally back!”
“Yes, Mommy is back.” Meredith could no longer hold back her tears. She nodded and said, “I’m sorry, Nia. I should
have returned earlier to see you, to send you to school. I’m sorry…”
Nia understandingly nodded her head. She lifted her hand and wiped away Meredith’s tears. “Mommy, don’t cry.
You’re busy working. I have Daddy with me. I don’t feel bad.”
“Nia…” Meredith’s heart was broken looking at Nia’s pale face.
Josiah helped her up and said, “Okay, Edith, let the doctor take Nia to her ward. We’ll talk later.”
“O-Okay.” Only then did Meredith take a step back to let the medical staff take Nia away.
Immediately, she looked at the doctor. “Is Nia alright?”
The doctor nodded and said, “Hmm, Mister Josiah, Miss Meredith, don’t worry. Nia has already come around. She is
fine. She can be discharged in a day or two.”
“That’s great.” Meredith was finally relieved.
The doctor left. Josiah, holding onto Meredith’s shoulder, teased, “Look how this frightened you so much. Since
when were you so fragile.”
Meredith glared at him with tears in her eyes. She said curtly, “I wondered whose voice was quivering with anxiety

“Of course, you won’t notice it.”
Meredith remembered about the call with Josiah a moment ago. His voice did indeed sound strange. He must have
been frightened by Nia.
He was only acting strong to comfort her. Looking at him, Meredith suddenly felt that having someone by her side
was not bad too. At least, when she felt the most helpless and most disappointed, someone could give her support.
Charlie was her support previously, but he has fallen. It had become Josiah instead.
She inhaled and walked toward Nia’s room. After some rest, Nia was feeling much better.
“Nia, do you want to eat something?” Josiah asked tenderly, “Should we get some fruits?”
Nia nodded. Josiah took the fruit and peeled it for her.
