“Yeah.” Pierre looked at his son, who looked tense and seemed to have something to say. “Do you have anything to say to me?”
Joaquin hesitated for a moment before deciding to nod, but Pierre happened to be checking the time on his phone at that instant. “I’m running late. Need to leave now.”
The next moment, Joaquin looked on as Pierre strode away, and he sighed at the sight of his father’s back. It’s bad timing as usual. Since Jameson was sick and there were concerns of infection, Joaquin was arranged to stay in a separate room.
At that time, Jameson was almost fully awake from his feverish stupor. He remained motionless in Meredith’s arms like a sweet child.
Cora was the servant who had been taking care of Jameson and Joaquin. Also, she was responsible for planning the daily life of the two young masters. When she saw Meredith sitting there with Jameson for the entire night, she was beyond touched.
“Miss Yard, aren’t you tired? Why don’t you lay him down?”
Meredith flashed a fatigued smile at her. After a sleepless night, the dark circles under her eyes were extremely obvious and her bare face had lost its luster. Just now, when Pierre had showed up, she was in the same condition as well. Cora believed that Pierre must have been very satisfied with Meredith’s dedication.
“That’s fine. It took Jamie some time to get a good sleep. Let’s not wake him up now. A sick child needs a lot of sleep to recover fast.”
Cora sighed gently. “Miss Yard, you are a good mother. Nowadays, not a lot of women would go this far for their children. Most would hand the children to their grandmas or nannies and live life as usual.”
Meredith smiled weakly and caressed Jameson’s hair. Then, she even pressed her cheek against his, looking like a doting mother.
Helen witnessed the scene from the door and smiled in satisfaction as well. At the same time, Joaquin stood beside her. When he saw Meredith hugging Jameson, his brows furrowed in suspicion.
