Chapter 590 “Nia…” Meredith gently tapped on the glass and called out. Nia, inside, seemed to have sensed her mother’s presence. Her usual weak heartbeat had signs of rising
Even Doctor Joshua was a little stunned. He said, “Mrs. Shelby, Nia seemed to have sensed you. Look at her heartbeat rising.”
Meredith immediately wiped away the tears on her face. Her eyes widened. She said anxiously, “Are you for real? Can Nia sense it? Can she really sense it?”
Doctor Joshua nodded seriously. “It looks like it.”
Meredith grabbed Doctor Joshua by his shoulders. “Doctor, can you let me go in and see Nia? I want her to be able to sense me better. I want her to know that her daddy and mommy have never given her up. Please!”
To get Doctor Joshua to agree to her, she was about to kneel, but Josiah pulled her up. “Meredith, when will you change your habit of kneeling at others for whatever small reason?” Josiah furrowed his brows.
It was one thing kneeling in front of him. How could she kneel in front of others?
Meredith looked at him in a daze. She would kneel easily, was it not because of how he forced her to back then?
However, she was not in the mood to explain it to him, so she continued asking, “Can I?” “Of course, you can, but not for long.” Doctor Joshua shrugged. “Mister Josiah knows about it.
Although it was through the protective gear, Meredith could still feel her body temperature. That warmth seemed to be telling that Nia was still alive in this world. “Nia, mommy is here to see you.” Meredith sniffled and forced a smile. “I’m sorry for leaving you here alone to get treated. I couldn’t come to see you. I apologize. I’m sorry. I hope that you will forgive me, please? “Nia, today is your birthday. Daddy and mommy brought you cake and roses. I remembered
when you were three years old your wish was that you could celebrate your fourth birthday with daddy and mommy. Today is your fourth birthday. Daddy and mommy are with you too. Your birthday wish has been fulfilled.”
Meredith took Josiah’s hand and placed them together on the back of Nia’s hand. She smiled.” Nia, do you feel it? It’s daddy and mommy.” Tears finally fell and she could no longer continue speaking. A moment later, she explained, “I’m just so happy and too touched than I’m crying. Nia, you’re so strong. I will surely be strong too. I will wait for you to get better.” Meredith bit her lips and cried silently.
Josiah hugged her around the shoulders with one arm and gently pulled her in closer while tenderly holding Nia’s hand with the other hand. “Nia, i’ll help you make a wish this year. I hope that you could blow the candles on your own next year, that you could happily have cake with daddy and mommy. “This is your birthday wish and our promise. You can’t go back on your words,” Josiah said with a smile.
