CHAPTER 484
Um” The doctor was rendered speechless and quirkly apologized, “Sorry Sir, I was simply worriet about you. strictly speaking, you aren‘t allowed to be discharged yet.” “Rest assured that I will take care of mysell. Plus, Edith is an experienced caretaker, what is there for you to be worried about?”
Al the mention of Meredithi‘s background, Josiah felt rather proud of her.
The doctor agreed. “Yes, Indeed, I almost forgot about it. I‘m sure you‘d recover great with such a brilliant wife who would take good care of you.” “That is why you can leave now,” Joslali sald in a rather annoyed manner. “Yes, I shall take care then, Str.” After the doctor left, Walter knocked on the door and walked into the room, “Sir, shall we leave I‘ll help you get your belongings.” “I don‘t know where Meredith went after breakfast. Let‘s wait for her to get back.” Josiah then took a seat on the couch. “Oh, sir, did you not know that Ma‘am had already left first?” “What did you say?” Josiah immediately turned to look at Walter and asked, “Where did she
“Um...I‘m sorry, Sir. Ma‘am said that she‘ll wait for you at home and have me get your belongings and send you home.” Josiah was wondering if he heard Walter correctly. Meredith actually left him alone in the hospital and she returned home all by herself? And she even had Walter pick him up?
Josiah wondered what Meredith was up to.
He started to wonder if Meredith was putting on a show for the past few days, taking care of him.
Could it be that she had chosen to believe Ysabelle? Could it be that she resented and hated him? And that she wanted to cut ties with him?
But would she be in danger by leaving the hospital all by herself? What if Ysabelle tried to kidnap her again? The more he thought about it, the more he felt anger thrumming in his veins. He then fumed,
“Why didn‘t you stop her? What if she gets into danger on the way home all by herself?” Looking wronged, Walter took a glance at the door and stammered, “Sir, I.it was Ma‘am who forced me to do this. I am innocent.”
“You should know better about how dangerous it is for her, don’t you?” Josiah strode out of the ward.
Right when he opened the door, he was welcomed by a big bouquet of rose bushes in his face. Text © owned by .
Josiah was stunned and he stopped in his tracks Behind the bouquet of rose bushes stood Meredith. She flashed a wink at him and asked, “Do you like them, Joe?” Looking at that pair of big blue eyes of hers, Josiah‘s heart softened and his anger dissipated gradually. “Not at all,” He replied, intentionally.
“Huh? Do you not like rose bushes?” Meredith‘s face crumbled and the smile in her eyes faded slowly.
She lowered the bouquet of rose bushes and said, “I should have taken Yoseph‘s advice and gotten you red roses instead. He said that the red roses represent passionate love. But I prefer the love language of rose bushes instead, they represent optimism and positivity.”
“Let me go change it to another bouquet.” Meredith turned around and was about to walk away.
She was stopped by Josiah.
“Mrs. Shelby, I am unhappy because you only remembered to give me flowers after asking others, it‘s not because I don‘t like rose bushes, understand?”
Meredith looked at the bouquet of rose bushes in her arms and then looked at him.
Turned out that Josiah cared about the fact that she forgot to give him flowers instead of the type of flowers.
She reached out one hand, tugged at the corners of his shirt, and whined, “Don‘t be mad at me, Joe. I really didn‘t know that I should give someone flowers on the day of their discharge.”
“You don‘t prioritize me at all,” Josiah accused.
“No, no. How would I not prioritize you at all?” Meredith urgently explained herself, “Besides, you got injured because of me.”
