chapter 271
She wanted to visit Nia upstairs after getting some rest. But when she finished her chicken soup, Meredith’s tummy felt slightly uncomfortable and she decided to take some rest.
“Zade, you should get going now. I want to take a nap.”
“I thought I made it clear that I’ve only come back to bring you with me. I don’t have anything else to do.”
Meredith was worried that Zade’s presence would cause Josiah to misunderstand but she could not do anything with Zade.
But Meredith guessed that Josiah could not care less about her and he would not drop by the hospital.
After a while, Meredith’s tummy ached more than before. She suddenly felt her lower body getting wet. Anxious, she flipped and looked under the covers to see her trousers stained with a red patch of blood. Meredith let out a shriek and started pressing the bell frantically. At the sight of the bleeding, the doctor too was anxious and quickly examined her. After a moment, the doctor asked, “Miss Meredith, what did you eat earlier?” “I didn’t have anything strange. I…I did have a bowl of chicken soup,” Meredith cried as she tugged on the doctors’ sleeves, “Doctor, didn’t you say that my child is safe? What is happening? You must save my baby, you must save her…” “Calm down, Miss Meredith,” The doctor calmed her. But after a while, the doctor told her that she had lost her baby.
“No! No!” Meredith lost control of herself.
“You must be mistaken! How is it that I’ve lost my baby just because I slipped? And didn’t you say that my baby was fine? Didn’t you?”
“Yes, doctor, what happened?” One of the nurses said, “When I did a sonogram for Miss Meredith earlier, the baby’s heart was still beating.”
The doctor too was confused.
After a moment of hesitation, the doctor asked again, “Miss Meredith, aside from the chicken soup, are you sure you didn’t have anything else?”
“I had some pills.”
