Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 25

Nia had given her a reason to stay alive.

However, life continued to be hard on her. Nia had a weak immune system because she was bom prematurely and she had to spend most of her time in the hospital.

Just when she turned two years old, Nia was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Meredith remembered how it felt to have the world come crashing down on her. Throughout the years, a lot of people, even Doctor Logan, had advised her to give up. But, as Nia’s mother, how could she give up on saving her daughter?

If she had not fallen into Ysabelle’s wicked scheme, she would not have ended up in the psychiatric hospital and got trapped in the fire which triggered the premature labor.

Meredith had blamed herself for Nia’s poor health condition.

Hence, she would never give up on saving Nia, no matter the cost.

Alayna who had returned from paying the medical bills saw Meredith weeping softly next to Nia who was soundly asleep. Alayna could not help but start blaming herself. “If I had not secretly visited the psychiatric hospital and begged Miss Rosa to let me take Nia, Nia would have been free from all this pain and torture…”

“Mom, don’t say it like that,” pleaded Meredith, “I would rather Nia be in this state than be thrown into the fire and burnt alive.”

“But… Doctor Logan is right. If we don’t pay the bills on time, Nia will one day be kicked out of the hospital, and I’m worried that Nia….”

“I will do whatever it takes to earn the money!” said Meredith as she wiped away her tears and sniffled, “Mom, you went through hell to get Nia back and I will not let Nia die in vain.”

“Edith, you’re already doing your best.” Feeling bad for Meredith, Alayna comforted her as she patted Meredith’s back. “Don’t overwork yourself.”

Alayna accidentally touched the wound on Meredith’s back, causing Meredith to tremble in pain. “What’s wrong?” Alayna who was confused asked, “What happened to your back?” “Mom, I’m fine.” “Let me have a look,” said Alayna as she was about to flip over Meredith’s blouse. Avoiding her mother, Meredith replied, “I’m fine, really. I simply bruised myself when I tripped over earlier.”

“Edith, you don’t look too good. Is there something that you’re hiding from me?” Alayna recalled the money that was stained with blood. Looking anxious, she continued to ask, “And where did you get that money? Tell me the truth.” NôvelDrama.Org content.

“I got my performance payment in advance from my manager.” “Don’t lie to me. If you could receive advance payment, you would have done it earlier.”
