Chapter 104
How could the child be his daughter? Josiah refused to believe that Nia was his daughter. But since Meredith had insisted on him doing a paternity test, Josiah thought that there was no harm in doing one. Fixing the blanket over her, Josiah made a call to Wesley.
Wesley, who was on the other end of the phone was startled when he heard that Josiah wanted to do a paternity test. “Sir, didn’t Miss Meredith use birth control? If so, there’s no need to run the paternity test, right? Why the sudden change of mind?”
With his gaze fixed on Meredith, Josiah said, “Meredith is claiming that Nia is my child. I want to believe her once.”
“Right, Sir. I will make the arrangements tomorrow morning.”
“Get over here and get the samples,” ordered Josiah.
Without any hesitation, Wesley replied, “Sure, I’ll come over right away.”
After ending the call, Josiah reached out his hands and stroked Meredith’s pale, white face as he murmured softly, “Meredith, I’ll believe you this once and I hope that you won’t disappoint me, if not…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Josiah heard a knock on the door.
He said, “Come on in.”
Doctor Zach walked in with his bag of equipment and scanned Meredith who was on the bed.
“She passed out after being under the rain,” said Josiah.
Doctor Zach simply nodded and started checking on Meredith. After having a look at Meredith, he started combing through his bag. Josiah, on the other hand, was getting impatient. “So? Why did she pass out?” “Miss Meredith has been malnourished for some time. With the injury she’s carrying and being under the cold rain for six…to seven hours, it’d only be strange if she didn’t pass out,” Doctor Zach continued, “the high fever might last for a while.”
“What do we do then?”
“Don’t worry, Sir. I’ll keep a close eye on Miss Meredith and I won’t let anything happen to her.
It was only then Josiah felt a sense of relief.
Noticing how his shirt was soaking wet, Doctor Zach added, “Sir, you should hurry up and get changed, if not you’ll catch a cold.”
Josiah nodded and took another look at Meredith before leaving the room.
After changing into a new set of clothes, Wesley had shown up. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Josiah cut some hair from his head and put them into a sealed plastic bag before handing it to
Wesley. “I’m sure you know who Meredith’s daughter is since you saw her the last time, don’t get them wrong.” “Don’t worry, sir.” Wesley kept away the bag carefully.
“Notify the hospital that I want the results as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Sir,”
Wesley then left.
Josiah visited Meredith again.
Lily, who was in the room with Meredith , looked slightly surprised when Josiah walked into the room. “Sir, are you here to see Miss Meredith?”
Ignoring her question, Josiah simply stared at Meredith who was lying on the bed, and asked, ” How is she?” “She’s still running a high fever but Doctor Zach said that it is normal after getting wet from the rain.”
Lily stole a quick glimpse at Josiah. Seeing how Josiah looked calm, she carefully suggested,” Sir, Miss Meredith’s life is already miserable enough, why not…let her go and leave her to her own fate.”
