Chapter 1283
Therefore, it was more likely that this was done by Ivy!
Meredith never thought that Ivy would go through so much effort just to marry Josiah. It seemed
like Josiah was on his own the next day.
Once she guessed that it was Ivy, Meredith was quite relieved. She could finally rest well.
She scanned her surroundings, found a clean spot, and sat down.
Josiah just returned home when Ivy walked over to him. Her tone was as gentle as always. "Joe,
you're home. Are you hungry? I'll go make you some supper.”
Ever since knowing that she was forced, Josiah's attitude toward her was not as cold as before
anymore, but he was still determined to reject her kindness.
"Miss Landers, you don't have to worry about my life. Just take good care of yourself." Then, he

Ivy remained in the same spot, stiffened, for quite a while before coming to her senses.
Seeing Lily entering the dining hall, she immediately followed her and said, "Lily, can you help
me wash some fruits?"
Lily replied, "Okay, I'll make sir some milk, then I'll wash the fruits for you."
"But I want to eat them right now."
Lily never expected that there were times when Ivy would be a difficult person to handle. She was stunned for a
while before nodding. "Okay then, I'll go wash them for you now.”
Then, she turned around to the refrigerator to look for fruits.
Just when Lily was looking for fruits, Ivy quickly placed the sleeping pill that she previously prepared into Josiah's
cup.
Lily finished washing the fruits and passed them to Ivy. "Miss Landers, the fruits are ready. Do you need me to bring
it to your room?"
"No need. Thank you, Lily." Ivy took over the plate of fruits and smiled at Lily before leaving the kitchen.
Lily picked up the milk and headed upstairs.
Josiah had just finished showering. He was drying his hair with the towel in one hand while dialing
Meredith’s number in the other.
The call was connected, but it was stated that her phone was switched off. He called another time. Her phone was
still off.
"Sir, drink the milk while it is hot." Lily placed the milk in his hand, but she did not leave his side.
Josiah was still on the phone. He casually responded, " No need. I don't want to drink."
"Sir, Miss Meredith instructed you to drink a cup of milk before sleep every night. It will help with your sleep."
"My sleep recently has been great." That was because he had Meredith by his side.
Josiah then dialed Goldie. Goldie told him that Meredith had already gotten off work. She should be home soon.

Seeing Lily still standing by the side. He asked in confusion, "Lily, is there anything else?"
"Sir, Miss Meredith instructed me to see you finish the milk, only then can I leave," Lily replied.
Josiah raised his eyebrow. "Is there such a rule?"
Lily chuckled drily, "Miss Meredith is doing this for your good too, sir."
Yes. After so many years. He finally could feel her concern for him again. It was such a great
thing. He should be happy about it.
Even if he did not like drinking milk since he was young, he still picked up the cup of milk and
downed it.
"Sir, rest well. I'll leave you."
"Go."
Josiah did not really go to rest. He picked up a financial magazine from the side of his bed and
leaned against the head of the bed reading while waiting for Meredith to return.
He had only flipped through a few pages when he was overwhelmed with grogginess.
