Chapter 502
Meredith could not sleep the entire night. When Josiah entered the bathroom to shower, she quietly sat up from her bed and walked toward the garden. She looked sadly at the battered roses. She remembered everything. She remembered how Nia cheered herself with the growth of the roses every day and the look of hope in Nia’s eyes when she asked expectantly when the roses would bloom.
The roses, which were Nia’s beacon of hope, looked like they were about to die.
Meredith picked up the watering can and watered it frantically.
As if her frantic watering would help the dying plant back to life.
As soon as Josiah came out, seeing her watering the roses desperately, he hurriedly snatched the watering can from her hand and said, “Edith, it will die if you water it so much.”
Hearing his voice, Meredith froze slightly. She could not tell if it was due to fear or resentment toward him, but she felt uncomfortable. Josiah did not suspect anything as Meredith came to see this rose first thing in the morning every day. He comforted her as usual, “Don’t worry, Edith, when spring comes, the rose will revitalize.”
Meredith turned her back to him, and after adjusting her emotions, she turned around and smiled at him. “Really? If I take care of it, will it grow back alive and well?”
“Well, you can’t pour so much water on it in one go.” Josiah looked at the bags under her eyes. “Why are your eyes so swollen? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Meredith knew she looked terrible, so she nodded and said truthfully, “I couldn’t sleep.” “I initially wanted to take you for a walk, but that doesn’t seem realistic now.”
