Chapter 35
Because of the hell that she went through when her blood was taken, Meredith fell asleep quickly laying her head next to Nia’s bed.
The next day, she woke up as usual at seven in the morning. She fed Nia some breakfast and accompanied Nia when she got her injection. Before she left, Meredith kissed Nia’s forehead. ‘Have a good day, Nia. I’ll come to see you in the evening.” “Have a good day too, Mommy.” Nia flashed her a big grin. “Thank you, darling, I will.” Meredith was working in the same hospital as Zade. By the time she reached her office, Zade had already bought her breakfast and left it on her desk. “Merelyn, you look even worse than you did yesterday. Is the wound getting worse?” “No, the wound is getting better.” She did not tell Zade about what happened last night as she did not want him to worry.
The emergency room was as busy as always. After a whole day of working even though she was sick and exhausted, Meredith rushed home to do laundry and have a shower.
Upon passing by a wet market, she noticed the owner of the pork stall was clearing away the leftover meat and he was about to throw away a pork liver that had changed color. She walked up to him and asked, “Sir, if you are throwing away the pork liver, could you give it to me instead?”
The owner looked at her, puzzled.
“You want this? To feed the strays?”
It was understandable that he was puzzled as this was the first time he met someone as young as Meredith who was asking for leftover meat.
