Still Loving You NonethelessEN By Snow De Eira Chapter 854Chapter 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.
novelbinBut 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.
“Seems to me that the both of you are worried about Josiah,” Charlie put down his fork and said, “fine,
I’m done eating too.”
“Papa Charlie, are you not worried about Daddy?” Nia was puzzled.
She did not know about the feud between Josiah and Charlie. Nia only knew that they did not really
interact much with each other.
“Of course, I’m worried too. But you’ll still have to eat, right?”
Charlie took a napkin and wiped Nia’s lips when they heard a loud clang.
Startled, Charlie looked up to see Meredith drop a plate on the floor.
Meredith had always been meticulous and careful, but she knocked over a plate as she got up from the
dining table.
She seemed to be lost in her thoughts.
“I’m sorry, you guys must be startled.” Meredith bent over to pick up the broken pieces of the plate.“Edith, be careful not to cut your finger.” As soon as Charlie finished his sentence, Meredith let out a
gasp.
“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.
