Meredith held his hand in hers and sobbed, “Joe, you look like you‘re in a lot of pain. Try not to talk too much and get some sleep.”
Josiah
shook his head softly. “It‘s okay. I‘m feeling alright.” “How are you alright when you‘re injured this badly?” “I‘m a man. I‘m not that weak,” Josiah was even chuckling, “Edith, I‘m
“I should be the one who should be worried,” Meredith sniffled and added, “didn‘t I already tell you that the walkway is dangerous and that you should not come to

“What about me and our baby then?” Meredith stroked her tummy and said, “I forgot that we don‘t have a child.”
“Well, I‘m not dead, am I?”
“But you‘re so injured,” Meredith was getting frustrated, “in any case, don‘t be too reckless next time.”
Josiah smiled bitterly. “But if I don‘t go up there to save you, you‘ll fall to your death. And what happens to me and our baby if you die?“.
“There‘s no baby, Joe!” Meredith shook her head.
And Josiah was the one who told her that.
“We do,” Josiah nodded his head softly and added, “we will have a child together.”
“Liar!” Meredith landed a punch on his arm.
But she immediately regretted her actions and gasped, “Sorry, I forgot that you injured your arm. Did I hurt you?”
“It‘s alright. I injured the other arm.” Josiah stared at her and said, “Edith, please forgive me. I didn‘t mean to hide it from you.”
“I know. You only did it to protect me, right?” Meredith flashed a grin at him and said, “I‘ll forgive you because you saved my life. But there‘s no next time, okay?”
“Next time…”
“The next time, I‘ll get mad at you and cut ties with you!” Meredith completed his sentence before he could even say anything.
Looking at Meredith who looked serious, Josiah felt slightly relieved.
At the same time, he was glad that he was actually injured.

“Joe, what‘s wrong?” Meredith asked in concern when she noticed how Josiah was staring blankly at the ceiling. Josiah turned to look at her. “It‘s nothing. I was simply stunned w
you‘d want to cut ties with me.”
“I said that I‘d only cut ties with you if you lie to me again.” “But what if there comes a time when I lie to you again?” “We‘ll cut ties then.”
Josiah felt his heart go cold.
Meredith added, “So you shouldn‘t lie to me anymore, Joe.” “Edith, can‘t you say something comforting? After all, I‘m a patient here,” Josiah sighed helplessly. Meredith immedia
something nice now. Joe, thank you for risking your life to save me and thank you for not giving up on me. For that, I am really touched and
grateful.” “Don‘t worry, Joe. I will be really, really nice to you,” Meredith kissed him on his cheek and asked, “feeling better
now?” “Mm, much better,” Josiah added, “but I‘d feel much better if you promise not to leave me no matter what happens.”
“But that‘s not possible, is it?” Meredith looked solemn. “We should uphold our integrity, shouldn‘t we? It is the same for me as well, you shouldn‘t forgive me if I did you wrong.”
Josiah remained quiet and said nothing.
