Chapter 281Chapter 281
“Miss Meredith, I’m afraid that Nia would not be able to overcome this crisis.” Doctor Sean shook his
head helplessly.
novelbinEven though he was annoyed by the fact of the overdue payments for Nia’s medical bills, Nia was after
all one of the longest patients that he had taken care of. He too felt heartbroken.
The notice of critical illness slipped off from Meredith’s hands. Shaking her head in disbelief, Meredith
sobbed, “No, Nia will be okay, she will be! I’ve signed the notice several times but Nia was able to
overcome the situation every single time.”
Bending over to pick up the notice from the floor, Meredith signed her name, all the while her hands were
shaking. “I’ve signed it now. Doctor Sean, you must save Nia, please!” Doctor Sean shook his head.
Meredith was anxious. “Why are you shaking your head? You’re the doctor, aren’t you?”
“Miss Meredith, I’m only a doctor, not God.”
He was right. He was only a doctor and there was only so much that he could do.
But Josiah had a team of the city’s best medical team and Meredith knew that he would have a way to
save Nia.
Holding Doctor Sean’s hands in hers, she pleaded, “Give me some time. I’ll talk to Mister Josiah and beg
him to send his medical team to assist you in saving Nia.”
She let go of Doctor Sean’s hands and ran toward the lift and shouted to him, “Wait for me… you must
wait for me…”She knew that Josiah would either be with Yena or with his grandmother at this time.
Meredith decided to go to where Josiah’s grandmother was at because it was nearer to her.
Indeed, Josiah was there, standing in front of the ward, talking to his doctor. At the sight of her, his eyes
clouded.
Taking a glimpse at her disheveled and unkempt looks, he asked, “What are you doing here? Didn’t I say
that…” With a loud thump, Meredith already dropped onto her knees. Grabbing his trousers, Meredith
looked up at him with tears in her eyes, and begged, “Please save Nia. She won’t be able to make it this
time, please save Nia…” Josiah was already tired of her ‘acting’.
It was always the same scene – how she would be on her knees, how her face would be covered in
tears, how she would be crying about how her daughter’s life was in danger, and how she would beg him
to save Nia…
“Aren’t you tired, Meredith Leighton?” With a look of disdain on his face, he flung away her hands that
were covered in blood.
Wiping away the tears on her face, she stared at Josiah and said, “Joe, you already felt devastated and
heartbroken over the loss of a two-month old fetus whereas Nia is three years old, wouldn’t you be
heartbroken if she dies?”
“Joe, please trust me this once. Nia is really your daughter, please save her and let her live.” Josiah
scoffed coldly, “You said the same thing last time, but the truth is? And you’ve seen the paternity test
results, haven’t you?”
“The test results were manipulated, it’s not true.”
“Are you making up stories just to save your daughter?”“I’m not, I really didn’t…” Meredith was on the verge of breaking down. “Joe, could we please stop
fighting over this? Nia is still waiting for you to save her!”
The door was pushed open suddenly and the doctor was seen rushing out of the room. “Sir, ma’am
seems to be quite aggravated, you should probably go in and see her.” At the mention that his
grandmother’s condition was unstable, Josiah immediately walked into the room.
Meredith wanted to grab him but she was a step late. The door was closed behind Josiah and Meredith
was left stranded outside.
