Chapter 867

“Why? Do you not want me to stay here to talk with you?”

“It’s okay. I’m afraid that my heart will not be able to take it if we keep this up.”

“Why?”

“Because…I am a patient.”

“Oh, then you should hurry up, lie down, and get some rest.”

Nia finally left him alone. She then put her hands on his arms and said, “I will stay by your side and I won’t disturb

you from sleeping.”

“Mm, you’re the best, sweetheart,” Josiah replied.

Of course, he knew that Nia was just speaking the truth and that Nia did not say those things just to hurt

him.

Nia was accepting the situation in a healthy manner and it showed that Meredith had taught her well.

Soon enough, the holidays were over and Nia went back to Meredith.

Meredith dropped Nia at her school. Before she got out of the car, Nia asked, “Mommy, are you going to see

Daddy?”

Puzzled, Meredith asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?

“Nothing. I’m just curious if you and Daddy won’t be able to stay as friends and care for each other now that you’re

divorced.”

Meredith could not seem to find an answer. She thought to herself that Nia had matured too fast.

She was starting to understand and make sense of the adult world.

Meredith hesitated before finally replying, “Of course not. Daddy and I can still be friends even after we’ve

separated. And I will go visit your Daddy soon, but I’ll be going with Papa Charlie.”

“Oh no, this is bad,” Nia murmured under her breath.

“What did you say?” Meredith was confused.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just remembered that I haven’t finished my math homework.” Nia then waved at Meredith. “See

you later, Mommy.”



Nia was thinking about how her father would be disappointed to see her mother visiting him at the hospital with

Papa Charlie.

That was why those words slipped out of her mouth.

But of course, Nia knew that she should not interfere with the adult’s business.

Until Nia was out of her sight, Meredith shook her head slightly before driving back home.

After parking the car, Meredith got out of the car to see Charlie picking flowers in the garden,

She walked over to him and said, “Charlie, why are you picking so many flowers? Do you want to put them inside

the house?”

“Oh, no. It’s for Josiah,” Charlie replied.

“For…Josiah?”

“Yes. As his family, I think it’s about time that we go visit him at the hospital,” While picking another flower, he said,

“I saw that the sunflowers grew prettily and it carries a special meaning too. So I decided to pick some of the

sunflowers.”

Meredith did not expect Charlie would be the first to suggest visiting Josiah at the hospital.

Earlier when Nia asked her, she simply came up with an answer.

“What’s wrong, Edith? Do you not think these flowers are suitable?”

“Oh, no, it’s not that,” Meredith replied, “you’re right that sunflowers carry a meaningful message. It’s suitable to

be given to patients.”

She knew that Josiah preferred rose bushes, just like she and Nia did. But she did not say anything to Charlie.

Besides, with the situation that they were in now, it was not suitable to give rose bushes as flowers anymore.
