Meredith froze and she stopped crying. She had just lost her last ray of hope. Like always, Josiah had
refused to help her. “Nia, Nia…”
At the thought of Nia still waiting for her, Meredith got herself off the floor and headed back to Nia’s
ward.
Wren knew that there was nothing that they could do for Nia anymore when she saw Meredith returning
alone.
She walked up to Meredith and held Meredith in her hands. Wren tried to comfort her, “Miss Meredith,
you’ve done what you could. Don’t be too hard on yourself now.”
“No, I didn’t and it’s all my fault. I should’ve done a better job…it’s all my fault…” Shaking her head,
Meredith looked up at the clear skies and cried, “God, if you hear me, please save Nia. Please let her
go, she’s still so young. If you let me, I’ll die in her stead…”
Josiah looked worriedly at his grandmother and asked the doctor, “What’s going on?” Josiah’s
grandmother’s body was quivering and she looked like she was trying to say something.
Her blood pressure was increasing drastically.
“It looks like ma’am has something to say,” The doctor replied urgently, “Sir, you should ask ma’am
what she’s trying to say.” Josiah quickly placed his ear next to his grandmother’s lips and asked,
“Grandma, I’m listening. Take your time.”
Her lips trembled a little and after some time, she finally uttered, “Ni…Nia…”
Josiah was stunned.He immediately understood what his grandmother was trying to tell him.
His grandmother might have overheard his conversation with Meredith earlier. He then recalled the day
his grandmother called him and forced him to run a donor test for Nia.
He then sighed helplessly. Holding his grandmother’s hands, he replied, “Grandma, don’t let Meredith
fool you. I’ve run a paternity test and the results showed that Nia is not my daughter.
Feeling a wrenching pain in his arms, Josiah inhaled sharply.
Looking at his arms, his grandmother was pinching his arm.
And she looked worried and anxious.
His grandmother pinched him even harder.
She finally uttered slowly, “Go…get…tested!”
“Grandma, I…”
“Sir, I think you should probably go.” Even the doctor could not stand to watch any longer.” Since
ma’am insists that you do it, plus, the examination room is just a level down.” Seeing how his
grandmother cared about Nia, Josiah could only comfort her, “Okay, I will go get tested now. Calm
down, Grandma.”
“Promise…me…you…must…go!” “I promise you that I’ll go.” For the sake of calming down his
grandmother, Josiah promised her and walked out of the room.
Meredith had prayed sincerely but God did not answer her prayers.
The ER door was opened and the doctor was seen coming out of the surgery room.At the sight of the grave expression on his face, Meredith could already guess what was coming. She
slowly lifted her hands to cover her ears.
She did not want to hear about Nia’s death. Doctor Sean sighed, and announced heartbrokenly, “My
condolences, Miss Meredith.”novelbin
