Chapter 130


    Nia simply nodded disappointedly. Josiah lowered his head and took a look at the tag that was hanging


    around Nia’s neck. One had to open the tag to only be able to see the photos inside. However, Josiah


    already knew whose pictures were included and his photo was the first to be included,


    “Your mom is right. I am the bad guy and I am not your father.” Josiah then walked away from both


    Meredith and Nia. When he passed by Meredith , Josiah hissed coldly, “I’ll deal with you when you


    returnter.”


    His words made Meredith’s skin crawl.


    After sending Nia back to her ward and leaving Nia in Aunt Wren’s care, Meredith then quickly hurried


    back to Shelby’s residence. “Miss Meredith , why are you home this early?” Lily asked, “I thought you


    won’t be back in another hour?” “I ran into Sir at the hospital so I came back.”


    “Goodness. What do we do then?”


    “It’s alright. It’s not like Sir had ever taken mercy on me.” Meredith smiled bitterly. “Thank you for


    helping me keep an eye on Miss Yena.”


    “What’s there to thank me for? I didn’t even do much.”


    “I’ll go back to working on the chores then.” Meredith returned to the storage room,


    grabbed a few cleaning equipment, and started cleaning the house.


    Josiah had mentioned that he wanted the house to be clean, without even a speck of dust. Hence,


    Meredith had to clean the entire house every day.


    When she was done with the cleaning, it was already evening and it was time to prepare dinner.


    Not willing to see Meredith working so hard, Lily had tried to help as much as she could without anyone


    finding out. She was now in the kitchen, wanting to assist Meredith when she made dinner.


    “Lily, you should go get some rest. I can do this on my own,” said Meredith.


    With just a bite, Josiah would know right away that the food was not prepared by her and Meredith did


    not wish to drag Lily into her mess. Lily knew exactly what Meredith was worried about. “It’s alright. I’m


    just going to assist you from the side.”


    “But Miss Meredith, did you realize that even though Sir hated you, he quite likes your cooking? His


    appetite is getting better than before.”


    “You think so?” Meredith tugged at the corners of her lips and added, “Perhaps it’s because my pathetic


    look stimtes his appetite.”


    “I don’t think so. Sir, he…”.


    “Lily, it’s alright, you don’t have to say anything. I understand.” Meredith interrupted her. Meredith did


    not want to get her hopes up like the time when she was sick and in the end, she was engulfed by


    disappointment.


    “Edith, what are we having for dinner tonight?” Liam swung by into the kitchen, walked


    next to her, and eximed, “Goodness, are we having fish today? I love fish the best!”


    Taking a nce at Liam, Meredith replied, “I would love to cook for you, but that best friend, also known


    as the devil, is not really happy that I cook for you.”


    “But don’t worry, Lily cooks really well too. I’ll ask Lily to make you a fish dish too.” Meredith added,


    “Right, why are you home this early?” “I’m worried that Josiah would bully you so I decided toe


    back early with this.” Reaching into his pocket, Liam took out a brand new phone.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The phone was exactly the same one as Josiah’s.


    “You really managed to get it repaired?” Meredith took the phone from Liam, looking all happy.


    “Of course. I don’t tend to lie.”


    “That is amazing!” Meredith studied the phone all over.


    She had taken apart the broken phone to check its parts and realized the phone was made from high-


    quality material, and if she were to really pay for the broken phone, it would cost her even more than


    the bottle of Lafite. “Thank you so much, Liam. You’re my savior.” Meredith thanked him.
