Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 48

Just at the thought of her, Josiah wanted to find that woman and tear her to pieces. Alfred saw how Josiah’s face was filled with resentment, he could not help but comfort Josiah. “Sir, I saw Miss Meredith at the hospital. It doesn’t feel like she is this sort of person.”

“If I did not see it with my own eyes, I would not believe that she could be so cheap too.” “I think this…”

“Enough. Alfred, you don’t have to say anymore.” Josiah interrupted impatiently. He did not want to hear that woman’s name anymore. – Alfred gave up seeing how cold and hardened Josiah’s stance was.

Meredith anxiously paced back and forth at the entrance of the emergency room. She wanted to rush in to check up on Nia.

Suddenly, she heard a thud. She turned back to look and saw Alayna, who was initially on the chair, on the ground. “Mom!” Meredith immediately rushed over. “Mom, are you alright? Don’t you scare me!”

Alayna’s face was pale. She lay on the ground without moving. Meredith immediately yelled at the doctors’ office. “Doctor, help! Please help my mom!”

A doctor saw Alayna on the ground and immediately helped to resuscitate her.

Nia has not come around. Her mother has passed out. Meredith looked at the emergency room door in a daze. Tears kept falling. She did not understand why God would treat her that way. Why was she being punished when she was truly innocent? If her mother were to fall sick, Meredith did not know how she could go on. She wiped the tears away from her eyes and secretly prayed, ‘Mom, you have to come around…’

She did not know whether her prayers were heard, and the doctor finally came out of the emergency room. Meredith immediately asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is my mother?” “Don’t worry. She was just too tired and anxious, which was why she passed out. She has come around.”

“Is that so! Is that really so?” Meredith cried tears of joy. The doctor nodded and continued, “But your mother is considered quite old. It’s best to do a thorough check-up, just in case.” “Yes. Thank you, doctor.” After Alayna was transferred to a normal ward, Meredith immediately entered. She pushed Alayna who was about to get up and said, “Mom, why are you getting up? Lie back down.”

Alayna smiled feebly at Meredith. “Didn’t the doctor say just now? I was just too nervous, which was why I passed out. I’m fine.”

“Even if you’re fine you have to rest. Also, the doctor says you need to do a thorough check-up.

“There is no need. Don’t waste your money on this.” Alayna saw how anxious Meredith seemed. She patted the back of Meredith’s hand. “Edith, we don’t know what has happened to Nia right now. We don’t know how much money we need to spend. Save the money for Nia. I’m fine.”

Meredith bit her lips. Her tears instantly formed in her eyes. She only thought of checking up on her mother’s health, yet she forgot that she was so poor she did not even have 200 dollars with her at that moment. How could she afford the check-up?

“Let me discharge. I don’t need to stay in this ward,” Alayna said again.

“Mom, it’s all my fault.” Tears finally fell from Meredith’s eyes. Alayna shook her head. “No. It’s my fault that I can’t help you at all. My body is also so weak.” “Mom!” Meredith hugged Alayna, heartbroken. Alayna was also heartbroken. She hugged her daughter who went through so much. Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while. They wiped tears off each other’s faces and cheered each other on.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
