Chapter 878
Meredith tried to stop him. “Charlie, why not let Wilma do it instead?”
Charlie ignored her and continued opening the lunchbox.
After setting up the table, Charlie put a spoon next to Meredith’s lips and said, “You’ve been taking care of me and
it is now my turn to take care of you.”
“Let me do it instead.” Meredith reached out her hands, wanting to take the bowl from his hands.
Feeling upset, Charlie avoided her and said, “Am I that useless to you, Edith? Can’t I even feed you?”
“It’s not that. It’s just that I don’t need to be fed when my hands are fine.”
Even though her head was bandaged, just like Josiah’s, she was able to move around just fine.
She did not feel comfortable having someone to feed her.

Even though Josiah was back at his ward, he was still worried about Meredith.
Josiah was worried that Charlie, who had been rather unstable, would hurt Meredith again.
He was also wondering if Meredith had taken her lunch.
Or whether Charlie had arranged meals for her.
Burdened by those worries, Josiah showed up in front of Meredith’s ward.
Through the window on the door, he saw that Meredith had woken up and Charlie was feeding her.
And Charlie looked like a completely different person than he was earlier at the fire exit stairway.
Josiah could not help but suspect that Charlie might be suffering from a split personality after his legs got injured.
Since Charlie was around, Josiah did not think that it was a good idea for him to be around. Hence, he started
making his way back to his ward.
Upon seeing Josiah had returned, Yoseph ran up to him and said, “Sir, where were you? I was worried when I didn’t
see you here.” “Where else could I have been?” Josiah replied flatly as he climbed back into his bed.
Yoseph understood him immediately.
Aside from going to see Meredith, where else could Josiah have possibly gone?
“Sir, would you like to eat now?” Yoseph asked.
“Later.” Josiah had no appetite.
Seeing how Josiah looked gloomy, Yoseph guessed that something might have happened when he went to see
Meredith.
Sighing softly. Yoseph walked out of the ward.
After lunch, Meredith was finally able to convince Charlie to go home to get some rest.
Before leaving, Charlie held her hands and reminded her, “Edith, don’t overwork yourself. You’re still a

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
“Mm.”
“Oh and don’t tell Nia that I’m injured. I don’t want her to worry.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret.”
“And, do take care of yourself and make sure to eat well, okay?”
“Edith, I’m not a child,” Charlie replied.
“I know, so don’t let me worry about you anymore, okay?”
Right then, Meredith’s phone rang and a call from her company. She gave a glance to Charlie and answered the
call.
By the time she got off the call, Charlie had already left.
Meredith then started going through her work on the tablet.
After a while, Meredith felt itchy with the hospital gown that she was wearing. Hence, she asked the nurse for a new
one.
