Chapter 34
Although she was in so much pain, Meredith said nothing as she bit down hard on her lips. She looked on as bags of blood were taken away from her body and Josiah did not look like he was going to stop them anytime soon. She finally started begging, “Mister Josiah, I am a patient too and I am injured. Please have mercy on me…”
She was not scared of dying but she was worried that no one would pay for Nia’s medical bills and both her mother and daughter would lose the only person that they relied on. “Aren’t you full of pride earlier?” Josiah made a hand gesture for the nurse to stop. It was only then the nurse removed the needle from Meredith’s arm.
The two other nurses too let go of their grasp on Meredith and she fell back onto the ground. Meredith was already injured and because too much blood was taken from her, she felt faint. She got a grip of herself and started getting up onto her feet effortfully. Holding onto the wall, she took heavy steps toward the door. Nia was still waiting for her in the ward. Her daughter was waiting for her to get water. She was terrified that the devil standing behind her would drag her back to hell. But the more she was anxious, the more that her legs gave her away. In the end, before she could even leave the room, Meredith fell to the ground.
Doctor Leonard did think that they had taken too much blood from Meredith but he dared not go against Josiah. Upon seeing Meredith dropping to the ground, he hurried over to her. “Are you alright, miss?”
Josiah furrowed his brows slightly but he kept a straight face.
“Mister Josiah, she looks underweight and malnourished. It would kill her if we were to take another 800 milliliters from her.”
“Well, did she die?” He asked coldly.
