Chapter 853
“Yeah, you’re right that we are cousins. But we didn’t grow up together nor were we ever in touch,” Charlie smiled and went on, “and this is why when I got into the accident back then, Josiah didn’t even blink an eye, and neither did he once visit me.”
“Oh wait, he did, just that one time. I remember he came when you were around.” Charlie paused then added, “We’ll go see him once he is moved out from the ICU.”
Meredith was rendered speechless.
Charlie was right that Josiah did not go to see him right away after he got into the accident. And it was because of this that Meredith suspected that it was Josiah who was behind the accident.
But Josiah did ask about Charlie’s condition. He just thought that it was inconvenient for him to visit Charlie.
“Edith, do you want to eat something?” Charlie asked.
Meredith replied, “It’s alright. I’ll go upstairs to check on Nia.”
“Okay. I hope she’ll feel better soon.” Charlie then put away the dessert.
Meredith walked upstairs.
Nia was crying heartbrokenly with her face buried in her arms and her shoulders shaking.
Walking up to Nia, Meredith placed her hand on Nia’s back and comforted her, “I’m sorry Nia. I don’t mean to stop you from going to the hospital. It’s mainly because you’re still young and the hospital is not a place that you should go often.”
“Think about it, Nia. Grandma is already feeling heartbroken and distressed. Wouldn’t they be more stressed if they had to take care of you?”
Nia sat up abruptly and with tears rolling in her eyes, she asked, “Mommy, Daddy lost a lot of blood, is he going to die?”
“He won’t, darling. Your father is a tough man.”
Josiah survived every single time when Meredith tried to kill him. Meredith did not think that a mere car accident would take Josiah’s life.
“But he passed out and was even sent to the ER,” Nia sobbed even harder, “Mommy, what if Daddy dies? | will not have a father anymore and I’ll be really sad.”
