“Sorry, Nia, I must have woken you.” “Mommy…” Nia called out to Meredith difficulty, “I’ve…missed
you.” “I’ve missed you too, my dear,” replied Meredith as she squeezed Nia’s hand gently, “Let’s not
talk if it’s too much for you.”
Nia nodded her head softly. She stared at Meredith with her pair of big round eyes, as if she was trying
to ask when she would be able to talk without any difficulties.
Meredith seemed to have understood her and said, “You’ll be discharged after two days when your
condition stabilizes. Then, we can talk as much as we like, sounds good?” Nia nodded but she could
not help herself and mouthed, “Daddy…”
A smile froze on Meredith’s face.
Nia was still the same. Every time when Meredith visited her, Nia would ask her the same question,
‘When would her father visit her?’
Meredith wanted to use the same excuse like always – that Nia’s father was busy with work and that he
would visit her after he finished his work.
However, the words stuck in her throat when she was reminded of Josiah’s deep resentment and
hatred for her.
How was she supposed to tell Nia that her father wanted desperately for her to not exist in this world?
“Mommy, will I never be able to see Daddy?” asked Nia.
Meredith turned around to have her back facing Nia as tears ran down her face uncontrollably…
She ran out of the ward and made a call to Miss Josie. “Miss Josie, you mentioned previously that your
friend is the manager of Aurous Club, right? Would it be possible if you recommend me to work for
them? I don’t mind working for the entire night and I’m not afraid of hard work. I…I can go on stage to
perform right now.”
Miss Josie, who was on the other end of the phone, was taken aback and replied, “Merelyn, are you
out of your mind? How are you going to perform on stage when you’re still injured?”
“Miss Josie, please, I can do this.”
Meredith needed money. She desperately needed money to save Nia. “Even if you can perform. The
rate that they are going to pay you is lesser than the Luna Club. Why are you jumping ships?” Miss
Josie asked, “Fine then, come to Luna Club earlier tomorrow night. I’ll arrange an extra show for you.”
“Miss Josie, I won’t be able to work in Luna Club anymore.” “And why is that?” Startled, Miss Josie
asked, “Don’t tell me that it’s because of what happened earlier tonight?” Holding back her tears,
Meredith replied, “Yeah.”
Josiah had made it clear that he would not let Meredith off easily As Yena still bad yet to regain her
consciousness. Most importantly, Meredith could not risk letting Josiah know about Nia as he might
harm Nia again. Meredith thought that she would be able to escape from Josial once she left Luna
Club, However, the very next day, Meredith received a call from Miss Josle telling her that Josiah had
bought the entire Luna Club and that she was not allowed to quit her job because of some contract
issues.
Meredith felt her heart go cold. She did not expect that Josiah was willing to spend a fortune just to get
his revenge, During the daytime, Meredith worked as a doctor but when the night came, she would turn
into a stage performer in nightclubs. Even when she worked in nightclubs, she always maintained a
clean record and stayed away from selling her body. Never did she think that there would come a day
when she had to sell her body,
Behind her back, the ladies started discussing her again.
“Do you think that Mister Leon had not seen her face? If not, why would he be asking her to sleep with
him for a night?” “‘It’s very likely. No man would be interested in her the moment they see her real
face.” ‘I heard that Mister Josiah paid for Mister Leon. Well, to be fair, who wouldn’t want it since t’s
free?” Hmm…you might be right.”
