Chapter 854

There was a flicker across his face. He then called out to her, “Edith.”

“Hmm?” Meredith came back to her senses and put her phone back into her pocket. “What’s wrong?”

Charlie replied gently. “Dinner is ready. Let’s eat first.”

“I don’t think that it’s a good idea,” Meredith pointed toward the door and said, “Grandma and your mom are not back yet.”

“Don’t worry. Josiah is admitted to Crest Care Hospital. I’m sure they’ll be taken good care of and dinner will be prepared for them.” Charlie patted Nia’s head and said, “Besides, it’s already getting late. Nia and you must be hungry.”

Meredith did not feel hungry at all. She did not even have the appetite to eat because she was too worried.

But she was worried that Charlie was hungry, so she listened to him and started setting the table.

The dining table used to be lively but it was just the three of them tonight.

After putting some food on Nia’s plate, Meredith started eating without tasting or enjoying the food.

Charlie placed meatballs into Meredith and Nia’s plate and said to them, “I’ve asked the chef to make the meatballs just for you two. Eat more, okay?”

Meredith looked at him and said, “You should eat too, Charlie.”

“I will. It’s new year’s eve tonight, we should enjoy our meal,” Charlie added, “it’s a pity that Josiah is in the hospital, if not, we’d be able to drink as much as we wanted to.”

“Yeah.” Meredith forcefully tugged at the corners of her lips.

If Josiah did not have a car accident, it would be an awkward and uncomfortable gathering for the family, but now that he was injured, the night seemed even longer.

Meredith could not finish her meal. “I’m done, eat more okay? The both of you.”

Nia too put down her cutleries and said, “I’m done too.”

Charlie looked at Meredith and Nia, then picked up a slice of turkey and put it into his mouth.

“Are you okay, Edith?” Charlie helped her stand up and realized the blood on her finger.

“I’m fine, it’s just a small cut.” Meredith hurriedly pulled her hand from Charlie’s grip.

“Edith, why do you look so out of it today? Is it because you’re worried about Josiah?”

“It’s not that…”

“Then what is it?”

“I’ve always been a clumsy person,” Meredith added, “remember when you broke the plates last time? I always cut my fingers accidentally while picking up the broken pieces.”

“So don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Meredith patted his hand to reassure him.

Charlie did not say anything further.

At the hospital.
