Chapter 988
After having some fruit with Nia, Meredith got up and said, “Nia, Mommy should head back. Rest early.”
“Hmm.” Nia nodded. “Goodbye, Mommy.”
“Bye, Nia.”
Meredith then turned to Josiah. “I have to trouble you to care for Nia.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her.” Josiah gestured at her. “I’ll send you back.”
“No need. I drove here.” Meredith looked at Nia and said, “Furthermore, Nia needs you. Why don’t you stay back
and be with her.”
“Mommy, I can be alone,” Nia said thoughtfully.

“You’re still a child. How could you be alone?” Meredith bent down and caressed Nia’s head.” Furthermore, with
Daddy by your side, I won’t worry so much.”
Josiah said, “Okay, then I’ll send you to the lift.”
This time, Meredith did not refuse.
Coming out of the ward, Josiah immediately asked, “Did Nia not stop you?”
Meredith shook her head. “Just like what you said. Nia has always been understanding. She wouldn’t stop her

“Why? You look a little disappointed.”
“Of course, I’m disappointed,” Josiah smiled bitterly and said, “you know how much I want you to stay.”
“Thank you for the love, but it’s too late.”

“You’ll be here tomorrow, right?”
“Yes, I’ll send breakfast to Nia.”
Josiah’s darkened eyes finally lit up a little. He said, “Then…I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After sending Meredith off into the lift, Josiah turned around and returned to Nia’s ward.

“Nia, what is it? Why did you get out of bed? You didn’t even put on shoes.”
He looked at Nia’s bare feet.
Nia wiped away the tears in her eyes with the back of her hand while she choked up and said, “Daddy, I don’t want
Mommy to leave the country with Papa Charlie. I want to go with them.”
Josiah was stunned once more.
It turns out, Nia was just faking it. She did not want to split up with Meredith.
Josiah wiped away the tears on her face, heartbroken. He said gently, “Nia, Mommy is not leaving you on purpose.
She has her struggles.”
“I know, but I still don’t want her to leave.”
“Come, let’s go back to bed. Be careful not to catch a cold.” Josiah picked her up and placed her back in bed before
saying, “Nia, I know you miss Mommy. I know you’re sad too. Daddy is as sad as you, but…”
