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.”
“Silly girl, didn’t I just say that your Daddy will not die?”
“But how would you know? You’re not God.”
“Yes, but I am a doctor. And a doctor would know.”
“Really?” Nia wiped away the tears on her shirt.
“Yes, sweetheart,” Meredith pulled her into another hug and said, “trust me okay? Let’s stop crying now.”

For the sake of calming Nia down, Meredith could only lie.
Nia finally stopped crying.
Lifting Nia off the bed, Meredith said, “Let’s go down and get something to eat, hmm? You must be hungry.
“Mommy, I don’t want to eat.”
Nia was still worried about her father and she did not have the appetite to eat.
But Meredith still walked her out of the bedroom because Charlie was still waiting for them downstairs.
At the sight of them, Charlie asked gently, “Is our Nia feeling better?”
Nia sulked, “Papa Charlie, I’m not okay. I am worried about my Daddy.”
“Don’t worry, Nia. Your Daddy will be fine,” Charlie took Nia into his arms, tapped Nia’s nose gently, and said, “now
put away that sad little face of yours, your Daddy will be heartbroken to see you like this.”
“That’s what I want. I want him to feel heartbroken when he sees me like this.” Nia pouted her lips.
“Silly girl.”
Charlie then said, “It’s getting late now, let’s eat.” Getting no response, Charlie turned to look at Meredith to find
her staring blankly at her phone screen.
