Still Loving You NonethelessEN By Snow De Eira Chapter 688Chapter 688 After staying at the hospital for a while, the doctor advised Meredith to return home.
The reason was that Josiah was in the intensive care unit, she could not see him nor be with him.
There was no need for her to stay at the hospital. She should just head home instead.
Meredith agreed to it.
novelbinWhen she returned home, Alfred immediately asked her, “How is he doing? Is it serious?”
“I don’t know about it for now. Let’s wait and see.” Meredith saw the bag on the sofa. She asked, “Has
Nia returned?”
“Yes. She has to go to school tomorrow. Old Madam Shelby got Walter to send her back,” Alfred said,
“Nia has been looking for her Daddy and Mommy. Lily is tending to her right now.
“I’ll go have a look.” Meredith headed upstairs.
Sure enough, Nia was not asleep yet. She kept asking where her parents had gone too. Lily did not
know how to comfort her. She could only tell Nia that her parents were still outside, and they had not
returned yet.
Seeing Meredith, Nia finally smiled brightly. “Mommy, you’re finally back.” “Ma’am.” Lily immediately got
up from the chair. She asked, “How was it?” “We still have to wait,” Meredith said to Lily, “why don’t you
go rest? I’ll be with Nia.” “Okay, then.” Lily sighed and left.
“Nia, why are you still not sleeping?” Meredith ruffled her head. “You have to go to school tomorrow.
What if you can’t wake up?”
Nia looked at her seriously. “Because Daddy isn’t here. I can’t sleep.”Meredith was speechless.
That was right. Ever since Nia got discharged from the hospital and returned home, Josiah had been
accompanying her to bed. This has been their habit.
However, Josiah had been in an accident. Whether he could come around or not was still a mystery. If
he could not…
Meredith shook her head. She could not bear to think of how Nia would react then.
“Mommy, is Daddy back yet?” Nia looked at the door. “Why isn’t Daddy coming to sleep with me?”
“Daddy is…” Meredith thought for a while. She decided to not tell Nia the truth.
“Daddy is out on a business trip. He hasn’t returned yet, so you might have to make do with Mommy
tonight.”
“What?” Nia was disappointed, “When will he be back?”
“Maybe in a few more days.”
“That’s a long time.” Nia was even more disappointed. She looked at Meredith and asked, ” Mommy,
can’t Daddy come home earlier? I’ll miss him.”
“Uh…we’ll have to see how busy daddy’s work is.” Meredith patted Nia on the hand. “Alright, Nia. It’s
late. Go to bed.”
Nia obediently shut her eyes. Her usual smile fell to a frown. Meredith could see that she truly missed
Josiah.Meredith could not help but think back to the scene when Josiah was being pushed out of the
emergency room. His pale face and injuries. It was dangerous.
She shook her head and forced herself not to think about him.
The next day, Meredith sent Nia to school, before heading to the hospital to work as usual. At the
hospital entrance, she bumped into Charlie.
Charlie pulled her to a corner and measured her up concernedly, “Meredith, are you alright? Why have
you not been picking up my calls?” Meredith shook her head and pried his hands open. “What could
happen to me?”
