Chapter 1105
“He…did he say what the problem was?”
“He said that his heart is not feeling well.”
‘Didn’t he say that he’s feeling sore all over? why is it his heart now?’
When Meredith heard that there might be a heart problem, she quickly left her work and went to the guest bedroom.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door. After waiting for several seconds, Josiah’s weak voice came. “Nia, Daddy’s not feeling well, and can’t play with you, okay?”
Meredith pushed open the door and stepped in, looking at him. ” Mister Josiah, if you are not feeling well, how did you get the lemonade?”
“I can still cut a lemon.” Josiah leaned on the headboard and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “I thought that Nia should also drink some lemonade when she woke up, so I got up to prepare it.”
“Mister Josiah, you’re so great.” Meredith leaned against the door frame and looked at him. “Are you really feeling sick or are you pretending?”
“It’s real.”
“Do you need medicine?”
“That’s not necessary.” Josiah stared at her solemnly. “As long as Miss Meredith doesn’t speak so harshly.”
He was indeed pretending!
Meredith said calmly, “Mister Josiah, you should understand that women who have been hurt wouldn’t say nice things. So, please take your medicine.”
She called to the door, “Nia, help Mommy get the medicine box!”
“Okay, Mommy.”
Soon, Nia brought in the medicine box.
Meredith picked a bottle from the many medicine bottles, took a pill from it, and then squeezed Josiah’s chin with one hand and brought the pill to his mouth.
Nia took the medicine box, picked up the medicine bottle, and glanced at the words on it. She was confused. It was obviously cold medicine, but why did Mommy say it was medicine for the heart?
“Mommy…”
Just as Nia was about to speak, she was interrupted by Meredith, ” Nia, it’s still early, Mommy will take you out for a walk.”
“I’m going too,” Josiah, who should have been very weak on the bed, sat up instantly and said.
Meredith glared at him. “That was quick. Is your heart feeling okay already?”
“Edith, maybe your medicine is very effective.” Josiah laughed and said, “Where are you going for a walk? I’ve been bored in bed for a day and want to go out to get some air, so take me with you.”
“Daddy, are you really okay?” Nia asked.
“Daddy just took the medicine, so it’s not uncomfortable anymore. II
“Mommy, let Daddy go with US,” Nia turned to Mommy and said. Meredith glanced at Josiah and said, “Whatever.”
