Chapter 1062
“Yeah, Sir. Miss Meredith went to lengths to prepare dinner for you and Nia. You should at least try some.”
“It‘s fine.”
Josiah stood up from the chair. “Nia, you should go eat now before the food turns cold.”
He then went back to his study.
It had been a long time since he tasted Meredith‘s cooking and he craved them. But he wanted Meredith to feel what he felt when his good intentions were ignored.
For the sake of making Meredith feel what he had felt, Josiah was willing to stay hungry.
When Lily showed up at the dining hall with Nia, Meredith asked urgently, “So, how is he?”
“Sir said that he feels fine and he‘s not having a fever,” Lily went on, “but that‘s just what he claimed, I don‘t know for sure if he is really okay. After all, I didn‘t take his temperature.”
Indeed, it was not like Lily could go and check Josiah‘s temperature.
Meredith then turned to Nia and asked, “Nia, did you not try to check if Daddy is having a fever?”
It would be more appropriate for Nia to touch Josiah.
Nia shook her head and then added, “Mommy, should I go upstairs and check?”
“Okay, go on.” Meredith nodded.
Nia then ran upstairs.
Hearing that it was Meredith who sent Nia to check if he was having a fever, Josiah felt slightly relieved.
He bent over and let Nia put her hand on his forehead. “It‘s a bit hot, but I am fine, darling. I
just have to take some pills.”
Nia touched her father‘s forehead and touched her own. Tilting her head, she asked, “Is it hot though? Why do I feel like it‘s the same?”
“It is quite hot. You can touch here if you don‘t believe me.” Josiah then put Nia‘s hand on his neck. Indeed, the temperature was higher around his neck compared to his forehead.
