Still Loving You NonethelessEN By Snow De Eira Chapter 985Chapter 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
seeUS.”
They were at the Crest Care Hospital. The medical staff all knew her and Josiah. They also knew that
they were divorced.
Josiah did not let her go or say anything. He pulled her to the balcony at the corner before looking at
her and saying, “Edith, if you feel terrible, don’t hold it in. After all, I’m not dead yet.”
novelbinMeredith was stunned. Then, she shook her head. “Josiah, don’t look at me with that expression. I only
feel a little sorry for Nia. My heart hurts a little, that’s all.”
“I know.” Josiah nodded, “I know you miss Nia, nor can you let her go. If that’s the case, why are you
still doing this to yourself?”
“Josiah, I don’t want to repeat my words.”
“Charlie’s legs were crippled because of you. You owe Charlie one previously. Is that it? These are just
the psychological burdens you add to yourself. Is it worth abandoning your child and leaving? You only
think about your guilty conscience, yet you never thought about how terrible Nia would feel if you left?”
“No!” Meredith interrupted him. “Josiah, don’t spew nonsense. It isn’t because of my guilty conscience.
I am Charlie’s wife. I have a responsibility to save him and care for him. I only want him to get well
soon!”
Meredith shook her head angrily. “You can’t misunderstand me like that. If this is how you think of me,
Nia would surely think the same too. She would resent me to death.”
Josiah looked at the tears falling out of her eyes.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.”
