Chapter 200
When night came, Josiah was tossing back and forth in his bed. As usual, he found it hard to sleep. Sitting up on his bed, he reached for the intercom and was about to call someone when he noticed that it was already past two-midnight.
Lily and Alfred should already be asleep at this time.
He could only go downstairs to fetch himself a glass of water.
His gaze stopped at the door of the storage room on the first floor. Josiah recalled the night when Meredith gave him a massage and how he was able to sleep soundly until the next morning without waking up in between. He then strode toward the storage room. There were a lot of chores that Meredith had to do. She only managed to finish everything by twelve at night. After taking a shower, she headed right to bed.
She was in the middle of sleeping soundly.
Seeing how Meredith was sleeping soundly, Josiah felt a fresh swell of rage rising in him.
He thought, ‘How is it that she gets to sleep so soundly when I have to be in this torture every night?’ Josiah had always believed that it was Meredith who caused him to be diagnosed with insomnia. It happened after that year when she was found cheating on him with Yoel. Since then, he had never gotten a good night’s sleep.
Hence, Josiah was furious that Meredith was able to sleep soundly even on the bed that was as hard as a rock.
“Get up!” He bellowed as he took big strides toward her bed and dragged her off it.
