Chapter 725
She let go of Nia, stroked her little head, and asked, “How is Nia doing at home? Did you read the new picture book Mommy bought for you last night?”
“Mummy, Nia doesn’t remember where the picture book is, and I can’t find it.”
Meredith got a little better, but her mood sank again when she heard this and asked tentatively, “Isn’t it in your schoolbag?”
“Is it?”
“Yes, Nia put it there herself last night.” “Oh, then I’ll look for it now.” Nia turned around and ran upstairs. After a while, she ran down with the picture book and said happily, “Mummy, it’s really in my schoolbag!” Meredith couldn’t smile at all, looking at the cheerful smile on her face. She took Nia into her arms again and comforted her. “Don’t worry, Nia will definitely get better.” “Mummy, what are you talking about? Isn’t Nia cured long ago?” “Oh, yes, Nia has already recovered from her illness.” Meredith pulled her onto the sofa and sat down. “Come on, mommy will accompany you to read picture books.”
Josiah came back at night. Before that, Meredith personally cooked dinner for Nia and ate cake with her. The remaining half of the cake was placed on the table, which Nia specially reserved for daddy to eat.
Josiah looked at Meredith, sleeping soundly on the edge of Nia’s bed, and then pushed her shoulder with his hand. “Edith, wake up.”
Meredith opened her eyes abruptly, and when she saw it was him, she was stunned. Then she sat up straight and said, “You’re back.” “Why did you fall asleep like this? You’ll catch a cold.” “…” Meredith glanced at Nia, who was sleeping on the cot. “I accompanied Nia and fell asleep accidentally.”
“Go back to your room and go to sleep.”
“Alright.”
Just as Meredith was about to get up and leave, Nia, sleeping soundly, suddenly whispered,” daddy…”
Josiah immediately leaned over and took her little hand: “Nia, daddy is here.”
