Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 “Huh? You’re Meredith Leighton?” The nurse exclaimed as she studied Meredith all over. “You are really Meredith Leighton?”

“Yes.”

“Are you even hearing yourself? How is it possible for Mister Josiah’s ex-wife to look so hideous?”

Meredith instinctively adjusted the mask on her face.

“I am not lying. You can call him and check with him,” In desperation, Meredith added, “I’ll give you his number. Tell him that my mom’s life is in danger and she’s dying soon. She needs to be treated right away.”

The doctor was still feeling skeptical, yet at the same time, he was worried that he would miss the golden timing to save Mister Josiah’s mother-in-law.

After a moment of hesitation, the doctor called Josiah.

Meredith, on the other hand, held her breath, waiting for Josiah to pick up.

When the call was picked up, the doctor glanced at Meredith before walking away and said into the phone, “My apologies, Sir. I’m one of the surgeons from the E.R. department…”

“What’s wrong?” Josiah cut him off annoyedly. He was still infuriated by what happened earlier at the emergency ward. Hence, the mention of the emergency ward only annoyed him even more. Josiah guessed that Meredith was pulling one of her tricks again.

The doctor was intimidated and he started stuttering, “Ah…there’s a woman claiming to be your ex-wife…she was hoping that you’d help her…”

“My ex-wife is dead!” Josiah cut him off again and this time, he too ended the call. The doctor stared at the phone with a puzzled look on his face and walked toward Meredith. Wiping away the tears on her face, Meredith asked impatiently, “So? Did he agree?”

With a slight look of annoyance on his face, the doctor shook his head and

replied, “Sir said that his ex-wife is dead.” “No, he…”

Meredith wanted to explain herself but the doctor cut her off. “Miss, Mister Josiah had made it clear that you’re not his ex-wife, hence he will not be helping. If you don’t stop this now, I’ll call the cops!” Meredith froze as she could only watch the doctor walk away.

“Edith…” From the room, someone was calling out to her in a weak voice. It was only then Meredith came back to her senses. Sniffling hard, Meredith tried to stop herself from sobbing before walking into the patient’s ward. “Mom…” At the sight of her mother who looked thin and gaunt as she laid lifelessly on the bed, tears started welling up in her eyes again.
