Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 780

Chapter 780

After some time, Charlie’s mother, with the help of her servants, staggered and stumbled into the hallway of the ER. At the sight of Meredith, she grabbed Meredith by her arms and cried,” Why is my son suddenly in an accident? How is he? Is his life in danger?”

Meredith could answer neither of her questions because she, too, did not know for herself. “I’m really sorry, ma’am…I mean, Mom. I don’t know what is going on too. I am also waiting for the doctor.”

Meredith thought that there was something fishy about the crash earlier. It was as if the car was driving directly at them, on purpose.

But all she could think about was Charlie and she did not have the energy to think about the car crash earlier.

The doctor finally walked out of the surgery room and scanned both of them. “Are you both the patient’s family?” “Yes, I am his mother,” Charlie’s mother replied urgently.

“I am his wife,” Meredith replied. The doctor nodded and with a serious expression on his face, he said, “The patient’s condition is stable now but his legs were injured seriously. It might cause a problem for his mobility in the future.”

“What do you mean?” Even though the doctor had tried to phrase his words in a more acceptable manner, Charlie’s mother was still aghast. “Are you saying that my son might be crippled?”

“I’m afraid so, Ma’am,” The doctor nodded without any hesitation and went on, “it’s best for the both of you to be mentally prepared.”

Charlie’s mother felt her legs go weak and she nearly collapsed onto the floor.

Meredith hurriedly went up to her to catch her. “Mom, are you okay?”

Charlie’s mother slapped Meredith across her face. “Don’t call me that! It is all your fault! You’re a train wreck! My Charlie had been doing well all this while before he met you. And now he is going to be crippled because he got married to you!”

Meredith felt a burning pain spreading on her cheeks but she could understand Charlie’s mother’s feelings, hence she bore the pain.

The doctor, on the other hand, witnessed how Meredith was slapped and felt that he needed to say something. “Ma’am, how could you possibly still believe in all these from the old days? It is unfortunate what happened to your son, but you shouldn’t take it out on your daughter-in law.”
