Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

“That is hard to say,” Doctor Sean continued, “like I said the last time. She could leave us anytime and it is also possible that she’d be in pain like now and last another year or two.” “Being in pain like this…” Meredith murmured under her breath, “Yeah, every day is torture for Nia.” Nodding his head, Doctor Sean replied, “That is why I’ve tried to persuade you to bring Nia home, to stop her from having to suffer all this pain.” In other words, the doctor was telling her to give up. Meredith knew better that Nia would not make it through more than a few days as soon as she left the hospital grounds.

Walking out of the doctor’s office, Meredith felt as if her soul had left her body, and all that was left was an empty shell.

Just the thought that Nia would get weaker by day, and the pain that she had to suffer would grow by the day, Meredith desperately wished that she could suffer all the pain for Nia instead. But she still could not bring herself to just sit around and count down the days that Nia had left.

After crying for a while outside Nia’s ward, Meredith finally entered the room.

Nia had woken up from her nap. Perhaps the medication had worn off, and Nia looked slightly worse than before.

Nia could only call out to Meredith in a soft and weak voice.

But she still wore a sweet smile on her face. It was as if she was saying to Meredith, ‘Welcome back, Mommy.’

“You’re awake, darling?” Feeding her some water, Meredith then asked, “How are you feeling? Would you like me to hold you?” “Okay.” Nia nodded.

Meredith lifted Nia into her arms and planted a kiss on Nia’s cheeks. “Nia, it’s been such a long time since we had a heart-to-heart talk. Shall we have one now?

Nodding her head, Nia replied cheerfully, “Sure!”

Tracing her fingers around Nia’s small hands that were covered with injection marks, Meredith asked, “You must be sad that you can only stay in the hospital when other kids get to go to school and play, right?” Nia nodded weakly. “Mommy, I want to go to school and play with the other kids too. I will take my medicine so that I can get better faster.” “You are already doing a good job, sweetheart.” Nia had been a good girl, and a brave one. But the heavens did not seem to give her a chance to get better. Doctor Sean was right. It was cruel to put Nia through such pain.
