Chapter 696
“Didn’t you ask me to leave?”
“You
”
“Since I call all the shots, I want you to stay back and feed me breakfast.” Josiah looked at her. “Quickly, I’m
hungry.” Meredith deliberately said, “But I don’t want to take time off when I just started working.”
Meredith was speechless. “Meredith, I’m a heavily injured patient that barely escaped death. How could you let
other people serve me?”
“At least, I think other people would be much more meticulous than me.”
“If you’re going to continue this way, I’m going to complain to Her Highness.” Meredith was at a loss for words. No
matter what excuses she came up with previously, it was no match for him mentioning Her Highness. She nodded.
“Okay, Mister Josiah, please have mercy. I’ll feed you breakfast immediately.” She poured the aromatic oatmeal
porridge out of the thermos. She gazed at Josiah’s perfect hands and asked, “Mister Josiah, would you be able to
eat on your own?”
“No.”
“But you hurt your head, not your hands.”
“Can’t you see I’m dealing with emails?” Josiah had already lowered his head and started working. He was working
on the tablet while saying, “I’m now a man that needs to feed his wife and child. How could I stop working?”
Meredith knew that he was doing it on purpose, but she did not want to continue with him, so she obediently fed the

porridge to him. “Sir, please open up.”
Did you make it yourself?”
“Of course not. Lily made them,” She instinctively denied it.
She was determined not to let him know that she woke up early in the morning to make him the porridge.
“How did I not know that Lily has such great cooking skills?” Josiah said calmly, “Miss Meredith, you don’t have to
hide it. I won’t be cocky.”
Meredith gripped the spoon tighter. She held back. That jerk. He could barely hide the amusement in his eyes, yet
he said he would not be cocky. Meredith fed him spoon by spoon and finished the porridge.
same thing tomorrow morning.” Before Meredith could say anything, he added, “If you think I’m not worthy to
order you, Miss Meredith, I could get Her Highness to speak on my behalf.” “Josiah,” Meredith gritted her teeth. “Is
this the reason why you want Nia to come to the hospital to see you?”
Of course, Josiah did not mean that. He said, “No, I just purely missed her.”
Meredith could not be bothered to bicker with him.”Forget about it. I’ve finished feeding you breakfast. Rest well,
Mister Josiah.”
“Are you still going to work?” Josiah looked at her.
“Mainly because you seem like you’re fine. I don’t need to take leave to stay here with you, right?” Meredith said,
“Mister Josiah, don’t worry. I will bring Nia over in the afternoon. I’ll also make the same oatmeal porridge for you
tomorrow morning.”
Meredith measured him up. “I believe that you’ll be fine, Mister Josiah.”

Josiah was angry, yet he could not do anything about it.
Meredith worked at the hospital the entire morning. When she was having lunch with her colleagues in the
afternoon, she received a call from the doctor.
She was initially a little nervous that something might have happened to Josiah. When she heard the doctor say that
Josiah was not willing to have lunch, she relaxed.
The doctor on the other end of the line turned to look at Josiah before saying, “Ma’am, not only is he not eating his
lunch, but he is also not taking his medicine. Sigh, how could he get better after such a serious injury if he doesn’t
take his medicine?”
“Why is he not taking his medicine?” Meredith asked.
“Mister Josiah said that he was not feeling well, he can’t swallow,” The doctor said helplessly, “Perhaps the wound is
starting to hurt. I’ve already given him a shot of painkillers. I hope that he can eat.”
“Okay, give him a shot of painkillers first,” Meredith said.
The doctor wanted to say something else, when someone called Meredith, “Doctor Meredith, come over and help
out.”
Meredith immediately responded, hung up the call, and walked over to help her colleagues with the food tray.
“Let’s sit here.” Melody, her colleague, pointed at empty seats by the corner. “Okay.” Meredith followed her over
and sat down.
While eating her meal, she was a little worried. She was thinking whether Josiah, that jerk, really could not eat his
meal and medicine. Did he eat or not?
While thinking about that, she quickened her eating. Melody looked at her with displeasure. “Meredith, why are you
eating so quickly? Clara and the rest of them are still looking after the office.”

“I have something on, so I want to eat quicker.” Meredith gobbled up a few mouthfuls before putting her utensils
down and saying, “Melody, help me keep my tray. I have something urgent going on.”
“Someone in my family is not feeling well. I have to rush over there,” Meredith said this at the same time vanishing
in sight.
While Melody was still confused, Sherri came with her tray and sat opposite her, while looking in the direction in
which Meredith left.
“She is a sugar mommy to a good-looking babyface, so she doesn’t have the mood to work.” Sherri was extremely
displeased, yet she was jealous that a woman with ruined looks could still marry a man who was more handsome
than a model.
Melody was stunned, “Are you for real? Meredith is just an intern. How could she be a sugar mommy”
“Oh.” Melody nodded and started eating,
Sherri continued bad mouthing Meredith, “But it’s strange that any man would still want a woman with a face like
hers.”
Not only her husband. Even the good-looking man called Charlie was pursuing her. That was baffling and undignified
for Sherri.
“I think Meredith is quite good, She’s polite and kind to be with,” Melody said confusedly,” why do you hate her so
much?”
She hated Meredith because Charlie pushed her away and specifically asked for Meredith to dress his wounds.
“I don’t know. Maybe we’re just not a match naturally,” Sherri could not be bothered to talk to Melody anymore
when she saw how Melody was not on her side. She picked up her tray. “I’m
“Mister Josiah, she’s coming,” The doctor said a little urgently from the door of the ward.
Josiah, who was initially working, immediately kept his tablet and lay in bed.
