Chapter 174
Meredith nodded her head. “Mm, I know. Nia is the best!”
“Well, why are you still crying, Mommy?”
“Because I’m really happy to see you. That’s why I started crying.”
“Ahh, so you’re crying because you’re happy!” chuckled Nia.
Meredith nodded her head and forced a smile on her face.
“How are you feeling these days honey? Have you been a good girl?” asked Meredith.
Nodding her head, Nia replied, “I’ve been taking my medicine and taking my injections. You can ask Aunt Wren if you don’t believe me.”
Aunt Wren who was standing next to them quickly nodded her head. “Nia has been a really good girl.”
Meredith turned to look at Wren and thanked her. “Thank you so much for your help, Wren. I really appreciate it.”
“Not a problem, Miss Meredith. I am simply doing my job,” replied Wren, smiling After Nia got an injection, Meredith kept her accompanied while she ate. Nia took a nap after that.
The past few days have exhausted Meredith too. She finally got a chance to take a rest. Holding Nia’s hand in hers, she laid down her head by Nia’s bed and fell asleep.
But she did not sleep well. She had the same nightmare again.
Nia was getting further and further away from her in the haze, and no matter how much she tried to pull Nia back to her, it was no use.
“No!” In the end, she woke up in fear.
Meredith already knew what to expect but still, she felt her heart sink.
Collecting herself, she asked, “How is Nia doing these days? Is she getting better?
She could only pray that the heavens would take mercy on Nia.
But even the heavens were harsh on Nia. Seeing Doctor Sean shaking his head, Meredith felt her heart being torn into pieces. “All these treatments are still hard for a young child like Nia, especially with all the pills and injections that she has to take. She even fainted last night when she tried to get down from the bed.”
“What did you say? Nia passed out again last night?”
“Yes. It was really dangerous.”
“At this rate, how much longer does Nia have?”
