Meredith felt her mind go blank as her world came crashing down on her. “Miss Meredith!” Seeing
Meredith was about to collapse, Wren hurriedly ran over to her to hold her. “Are you alright, Miss
Meredith?” “How can I be…okay…” Meredith shook her head softly and went on, “how can I be alright
when Nia has left me…how…”
“Miss Meredith, it hadn’t been easy for Nia to hold on for so long. You should probably head inside and
take one last look at her.”
“No! Nia is not dead! She’s not going to leave me all alone!” Meredith ran toward the doctor, pulled his
sleeve, and begged, “You’re the most skilled doctor in the department, aren’t you Doctor Sean? You’ve
saved Nia over and over again, you should be able to do the same this time!”
novelbin“I’m really sorry, Miss Meredith. There’s only so much that I can do.”
There was nothing else that the doctor could do anymore to save Nia.
The words stabbed into Meredith’s heart like sharp knives. The wrenching pain gnawed on her as she
cried her heart out. She had mentally prepared herself for the worst to come but the weight of Nia’s
passing was still painfully unbearable for Meredith. Perhaps Meredith was blaming herself that she did
not do enough for Nia. Or perhaps, in her heart, she had always believed that Nia would get better
someday.
If she had tried harder, Nia would not have died.
“Miss Meredith, would you like to have one last look at Nia?” The nurse asked.
Meredith stumbled and staggered inside the surgery room. Holding a lifeless Nia in her arms, she cried,
“Why are you guys giving up on her so easily? She’s not dead yet, come, feel her, she’s still warm.”Meredith then shook Nia’s body and sobbed, “Nia darling, it’s time to wake up now. Mommy is here to
see you. Come on now, open your eyes.” “You’ve always wanted me to stay by your side all day long,
haven’t you? I promise that I’ll stay by your side every day, so please wake up, hmm? I promise that I
won’t leave you alone ever again.”
Nia looked like she had fallen into a deep sleep. But unlike previous times, this time, she did not open
her eyes nor did she greet Meredith. “Wake up now, Nia!” Meredith started shouting anxiously, “I’m
going to get mad if you don’t wake up now! Wake up, darling!”
“Miss Meredith, please accept my condolences. “The nurse wanted to separate Meredith and Nia. “We
have to move her now, Miss Meredith.”
“No! Don’t take her away from me!” Meredith threw herself to the bed, lifted Nia from the bed, and
carried Nia in her arms. “I want to transfer her to another hospital, I will get her treated somewhere
else. I’m taking her with me!” “Miss Meredith, Nia has already left us, there’s nothing else that you
could do,” The nurse reminded her, “and we’re the best hospital in this city. Where are you planning to
go?”
“Let’s put Nia back in the bed.”
“No! I don’t want to let her go!” Meredith knew that if she let go of Nia, she would never be able to carry
Nia in her arms anymore.
She would never be able to feel Nia in her arms for the rest of her life.
Josiah had just gotten off the lift and he heard a heart-wrenching crying sound. People that were
gathered in front of the surgery room were whispering to each other, “That poor child. She’s been
hospitalized for so long but she has never gotten a matching donor.” “Yeah, and she is so young. If I
were her, I wouldn’t have lasted that long.”There was a flicker in Josiah’s eyes. He seemed to be startled. He realized that it was Meredith who
was crying and wondered if her daughter had passed. Yoseph who also seemed startled quickly asked
a passerby, “What did you say? Is Miss Meredith’s daughter dead?”
“It seems like it. The doctors did not manage to save her.”
Yoseph took a glimpse at Josiah and wondered if Josiah still needed to run the test since Nia had
already left them.
