Chapter 174Chapter 174
Meredith nodded her head. “Mm, I know. Nia is the best!”
“Well, why are you still crying, Mommy?”
novelbin“Because I’m really happy to see you. That’s why I started crying.”
“Ahh, so you’re crying because you’re happy!” chuckled Nia.
Meredith nodded her head and forced a smile on her face.
“How are you feeling these days honey? Have you been a good girl?” asked Meredith.
Nodding her head, Nia replied, “I’ve been taking my medicine and taking my injections. You can ask
Aunt Wren if you don’t believe me.”
Aunt Wren who was standing next to them quickly nodded her head. “Nia has been a really good girl.”
Meredith turned to look at Wren and thanked her. “Thank you so much for your help, Wren. I really
appreciate it.”
“Not a problem, Miss Meredith. I am simply doing my job,” replied Wren, smiling After Nia got an
injection, Meredith kept her accompanied while she ate. Nia took a nap after that.
The past few days have exhausted Meredith too. She finally got a chance to take a rest. Holding Nia’s
hand in hers, she laid down her head by Nia’s bed and fell asleep.
But she did not sleep well. She had the same nightmare again.Nia was getting further and further away from her in the haze, and no matter how much she tried to pull
Nia back to her, it was no use.
“No!” In the end, she woke up in fear.
Only when she saw Nia who was sleeping soundly on the bed, did Meredith finally let out a sigh of
relief.
She then came to the doctor’s office after having Wren keep an eye on Nia.
“I heard that your mom had just passed away?” The doctor asked.
Heartbroken, Meredith nodded.
“Well, Nia just lost her donor, didn’t she?” Meredith nodded and asked, “Doctor Sean, I can settle the
money, but can you please help me to find a suitable donor? Please.” Shaking his head, Doctor Sean
replied helplessly, “Miss Meredith, this is not the first time that your child is ill, and you know better
about her situation right now. It’s almost impossible to find one.” “But we still ought to try, shouldn’t we?
She’s still so young and I can’t give up on her.”
“I understand, of course. As a doctor, we will not give up on any of our patients too. But there are a lot
of people who are on the waiting list for bone marrow transplant surgery. Plus, there aren’t a lot of
people who are willing to donate. It is already hard to get a donor for a patient with a typical blood type,
let alone Nia with her rare body condition.” Meredith was a doctor too. Of course, she knew how difficult
it would be.
But she did not want to give up. She could not give up.
“Doctor Sean, are there really no other options?” Meredith asked anxiously. Doctor Sean shook his
head. “I’ll still look into it for you. But I have to be honest with you, the chances are slim.”Meredith already knew what to expect but still, she felt her heart sink.
Collecting herself, she asked, “How is Nia doing these days? Is she getting better?
She could only pray that the heavens would take mercy on Nia.
But even the heavens were harsh on Nia. Seeing Doctor Sean shaking his head, Meredith felt her heart
being torn into pieces. “All these treatments are still hard for a young child like Nia, especially with all
the pills and injections that she has to take. She even fainted last night when she tried to get down from
the bed.”
“What did you say? Nia passed out again last night?”
“Yes. It was really dangerous.”
“At this rate, how much longer does Nia have?”
