Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 49

“Edith, everything will get better.” Meredith nodded. She believed that everything would get better. She could only believe it! After resuscitating , Nia’s condition was considered stable. Looking at Nia lying sickly on the bed, Meredith’s tears, which she had tried hard to stop a moment ago, fell again. She held onto Nia’s hand tightly, afraid to lose her once again. She sniffled and asked the attending doctor, “Doctor, didn’t you say that Nia could head home to recuperate? Why did she pass out because she missed an injection.”

The doctor looked at Nia and said, “Perhaps, because she suddenly stopped her treatment, she could not adjust to it. We need to do it gradựally, to lessen the dosage each time, so that she can slowly adapt to it. No matter what, be more careful in the future, don’t let her run out of the hospital next time.”

Meredith nodded. “Okay, I got it.”

Once the doctor left, Meredith stayed by Nia’s bed loo king after her. It was until evening only Nia finally started to come around. Meredith delightedly held Nia’s hand. She said, “Nia, are you awake?” “Mommy…” Nia blinked and tried hard to open her eyes. Seeing her coming around, Meredith let out a sigh of relief, “My darling! You’re finally awake! You gave me a fright!” Seeing how Nia was so weak she could barely say anything, Meredith immediately said, “Nia, you don’t have to say anything. I understand. It was my bad last night. I couldn’t come in time to the hospital to accompany you. I was wrong.”

Nia looked at her and her lips quivered a little. Meredith saw Nia’s eyes widen and slowly reddened. She said heartbrokenly, “Nia, are you angry? It’s my fault. Don’t cry, please?” However, Nia merely said, “Mommy, daddy doesn’t like me.”

Meredith was stunned and speechless. She never would have thought that this was the first thing Nia would say when she woke up. She cried because her daddy did not like her?

“Nia…” Meredith choked up and shook her head. “You’re mistaken. He is not your daddy.”

“He is,” Nia said with tears in her eyes, “daddy has a picture of you, mommy. I saw it…”

Meredith was stunned once again. How did Josiah have a picture of her? No. When she got married to Josiah, it caused quite a sensation. There should be pictures of them together on the internet.

Perhaps Josiah simply found a picture from the internet for Nia to see to confirm Nia’s identity.

“Nia, he is really not your daddy. Have you forgotten? Mommy never lies,” Meredith patiently coaxed, “Do you not love mommy anymore? Do you not believe me?”

Other than the matter about her daddy, Meredith has never lied to Nia.

“I love you, mommy,” Nia said, but her expression seemed sadder. “But, mommy, I want him to be my daddy.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
