Chapter 245
“Of course not,” Ysabelle responded, “why are you even asking? We must, of course, make sure the adult is safe!” The doctor looked at Ysabelle, puzzled. He was trying to figure out who Ysabelle was. Ysabelle quickly explained, “I’m her sister.” Meredith’s anxious cries were heard from the ER, “Doctor, I don’t have a husband or sister. They’re not my family. I am the one who should be deciding whether I want to save the child or not!’ “Please listen to me, I need to save the child,” Meredith cried. The doctor looked puzzledly at Josiah, “Are you not her husband?” Ysabelle replied in Josiah’s stead, “He is the father to the child.” “So…do you want to save the child or not?” Ysabelle replied, “No. Meredith’s life is more important.”
The doctor shot a glare at Ysabelle then continued staring at Josiah, waiting for his response.
Meredith came running out of the ER, dropped to her knees in front of Josiah’s feet, and cried, “Josiah, please don’t kill my baby, no, he’s also your baby, you can’t kill him…” Josiah looked down at her and asked flatly, “The doctor said your life might be in danger. You don’t want to live anymore?” “I’m not afraid to die,” Meredith shook her head frantically and added, “I won’t be able to live anyway if my baby is gone. I’m willing to risk my life for my child. Please, let me do so…” With the baby gone, Nia would soon be gone too. What was the use then to stay alive all alone?
The doctor too did not know what to do.
He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “It’s not that serious, really. It’s just that if youm insist on keeping the child, you’d need a longer time to recover.”
“If it was nothing serious, then why did you insist on these people making decisions for me when they’re not even related to me?” Meredith was furious. The doctor replied helplessly, “This is the hospital’s policy and we’d need a family member to sign the documents.” “I said I don’t have any family members!” Meredith was already weak from the assault and she was feeling weaker after getting so worked up.
