Chapter 97
“All…the chores?” Alfred was tongue-tied. He thought he misheard.
Meredith immediately said, “Alfred, I can do it!”
“Miss Meredith, you know how big this mansion is. Can you really do it?” Alfred hinted at her with a look, reminding her that if she were to beg for forgiveness from Josiah in time, she still might have a chance of turning things around.
He did not expect Meredith to answer, “I really can do it.”
Since Josiah has forced her to stay in the mansion to take care of Yena, would that not be a good thing if she could work more and earn more? As long as there is money, she did not care how tough it was or how tired she was.
Since she had already agreed to it, Alfred could say nothing else. Once the servants heard that they had paid leave, naturally, they were all elated.
The mansion was instantly much quieter.
Josiah was eating the bowl of porridge. He had to admit that Meredith’s skills were much better compared to three years ago. The porridge she made had just the right amount of sweetness.
However, at the thought of her affair with Yoel, he instantly lost his appetite. He threw the spoon down and got up, heading to work. Josiah just left when Meredith immediately got Lily to take care of Yena. Lily has been in the mansion working for more than a decade. Her family was abroad, so she did not need the holidays. Taking care of Yena was not tiring at all. She could even just leave her alone, but Lily still said worriedly, “Ma’am, if Sir finds out that you sneaked out, he would be mad.” Meredith tugged on the only servant who treated her well and shook her head. “Lily, don’t worry. I’ll be back soon. I won’t let him know.” “Then…come back quickly.” “Okay.” Meredith smiled lightly. “Right, by the way, Lily, Josiah and I have already divorced. Don’t call me Ma’am anymore. Just call me by my name.”
“It feels inappropriate. I’ll call you Miss Meredith then.” “That works too. Thank you, Lily.” Meredith said and quickly headed out of the door. Leaving the mansion, Meredith immediately headed to the hospital to deal with her mother’s previous medical records before heading to Nia’s ward.
Worried that Nia would not let her go if she saw her, Meredith did not dare enter. She only took sneak peeks from behind the door.
Nia looked even more emaciated than before. Her face was as depressed as an old woman’s. She was holding the teddy bear that Meredith gave her previously.
Back then, when she gave the teddy bear to Nia, she told Nia, “When I’m not here in the future, just treat the teddy bear as if it were me. The teddy bear will be with you.”
She never thought that Nia would remember what she said.
“Miss Meredith, why are you not entering?” A doctor’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her
Meredith immediately turned around and gave the doctor a hushed sign.
The doctor was confused. “Why? Nia has been missing you badly.”
Meredith shook her head sadly. “Doctor Sean, please don’t tell Nia that I came by. I still have an emergency matter to deal with, I can’t stay with her, so…”
