Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 985

Chapter 985

When Nia heard what Josiah said, she immediately sat up, took over the bowl from Josiah, and started gulping down the porridge.

Josiah immediately grabbed her spoon and stopped her. “Don’t eat so quickly. Be careful, you might choke on it.”

“I’m not a baby. I won’t choke on it. Daddy, go look for Mommy quickly.”

“No. You have to eat slower. I’ll look for her once you finish.”

Nia could only slow her pace and finish the food in her bowl mouthful after mouthful.

After finishing the food, she showed Josiah the bowl. “Can you leave now?”

“Okay. Stay in bed. Don’t run around, got it?”

“Hmm. I won’t run around,” Nia nodded and promised.

Meredith did not leave. She was just sitting on the chair by the door. She heard the entire conversation between father and daughter. Her already broken heart constricted tighter, feeling worse.

Josiah guessed that Meredith would not truly leave. When he saw her sitting by the door, he was not surprised.

He grabbed her by the wrist and led her to the balcony at the end of the corridor.

Meredith tried to struggle while softly saying, “Josiah, what are you doing? It’ll be bad if other people see

US.”

They were at the Crest Care Hospital. The medical staff all knew her and Josiah. They also knew that they were divorced.

He was heartbroken. He pulled her into his arms. “I’m sorry, Edith. I was talking nonsense. I have misunderstood your intentions. I only said this to make you stay. I’m the selfish one here. I’m sorry…”

Tears fell from Meredith’s eyes. “It has nothing to do with you.”

Josiah raised his hand and patted her on her shoulders. “Alright. Don’t be sad already. Nia is an understanding girl. You should tell her the truth and not use work as an excuse to lie to her.”

Meredith thought for a while before gently nodding. “You are right.”

Back then, she lied to Nia saying that her Daddy was working somewhere far away, which caused Nia to wait and hope for her Daddy’s return every day.

At that moment, she used the same lie on Nia once more. Nia would surely feel that she only had work in her eyes.

Meredith sniffled and got out of Josiah’s arms. She apologized rather awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I lost my composure.”
