However…

“How did my colleague know that you’re my husband?” Meredith studied him and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Josiah, don’t tell me that you introduced yourself to her as my husband.”

Josiah cleared his throat awkwardly, “I didn’t want to say anything but that colleague of yours was flirting with me.

So I can only tell her that you’re my wife.”

To be fair, Meredith found his excuse reasonable.

Even though Josiah was cold and ruthless, he was good-looking and he went around driving in such an expensive

car. Of course, women would want to flirt with him.

But still, she scolded, “Can’t you come up with another excuse? Well, the least that you could do was not bring up

my name, right?” “But I don’t know anyone else who is working there. So I could only mention your name.”

“How am I supposed to work here now that she knows about our relationship?” Freaking out, Meredith glared at

him and asked, “Tell me, did she figure out who you are? And…”

“She didn’t,” Josiah patted her hand to reassure her and added, “aside from knowing the fact that I’m your

husband, she doesn’t know anything else.”

“How is it possible? Did she not see your car?”

“She did. And she even asked if it was my car.”

“And what did you say?”

“I said it’s not mine.”

“Oh thank God,” Meredith sighed in relief. She then warned him, “Don’t come to the hospital anymore. I have a car

and I can drive myself.”

“Why? Do I embarrass you?” Josiah was slightly upset. “Or am I getting in your way with that patient of yours?”

Feeling speechless, Meredith responded, “Yeah, you embarrass me, happy now?” “But I never once think that you

embarrass me,” Josiah replied.

Meredith knew that she would not win the argument hence she looked away and said, “In any case, stop coming to

the hospital. I don’t need you to pick me up.”

At night, both of them kept Nia company until she fell asleep

Josiah then returned to his study to work whilst Meredith went back to their bedroom.

She was reading a book but fell asleep halfway through.



She even had a dream. In the dream, she was eighteen and her mother was holding her hands. “Edith, after today,

you’ll be a young lady. I hope that even after you grow older, you’ll still be happy like when you were young.’

Her mother then handed her a wooden box

In the wooden box laid a pretty emerald hairpin.

“It’s beautiful. Thank you, Mom,” Meredith thanked her happily.

Just when she wanted to put the hairpin on, the hairpin slipped from her hands, dropped on the floor, and broke into

half.

“Mom, I broke the hairpin.” Meredith looked up to find that her loving mother was gone.

What happened? “Mommy!” Meredith sat up abruptly as she let out a scream. Opening her eyes, the bright light

hurt her eyes.

It was a dream.

Meredith wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. She rushed to the vanity table and

started going through the drawers to find the broken hairpin.

She remembered clearly that she kept the hairpin in the last drawer but the hairpin was nowhere to be found.

Meredith wondered if it was stolen.

Going through the drawers frantically, she started to get anxious and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Josiah who had just walked into the bedroom found Meredith going through the drawers.’ Edith, what are you

looking for?”

“Where is my hairpin? Where is it?”

Meredith turned around and grabbed him by his arms. “Was it you? Did you take it away from me again? Give it

back to me!”

“Edith, I sent the hairpin to be repaired.”
