Chapter 479
Meredith held his hand in hers and sobbed, “Joe, you look like you‘re in a lot of pain. Try not to talk too much and get some sleep.”
Josiah shook his head softly. “It‘s okay. I‘m feeling alright.” “How are you alright when you‘re injured this badly?” “I‘m a man. I‘m not that weak,” Josiah was even chuckling, “Edith, I‘m glad that you‘re okay. I was really worried that you‘ll fall with me.”
“I should be the one who should be worried,” Meredith sniffled and added, “didn‘t I already tell you that the walkway is dangerous and that you should not come to me? Why did you still come? If something bad really happened to you, I...” She could not bring herself to finish her sentence.
Josiah teased her, “And what would happen if I died from the fall?”
“What about me and our baby then?” Meredith stroked her tummy and said, “I forgot that we don‘t have a child.”
“Well, I‘m not dead, am I?”
“But you‘re so injured,” Meredith was getting frustrated, “in any case, don‘t be too reckless next time.”
Josiah smiled bitterly. “But if I don‘t go up there to save you, you‘ll fall to your death. And what happens to me and our baby if you die?“.
“There‘s no baby, Joe!” Meredith shook her head.
And Josiah was the one who told her that.
“We do,” Josiah nodded his head softly and added, “we will have a child together.”
“Liar!” Meredith landed a punch on his arm.
