Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 77

“Grandma, I miss Mommy,” said Nia as she had her eyes fixed on the door of the ward.

Feeling sorry for her granddaughter, Alayna stroked the back of Nia’s head and comforted her, “Your mommy is still at work and I’m sure that she’ll come to visit once she’s done with work.

Nia had not seen Meredith for days and of course, she was missing Meredith. But Josiah had no plans of letting Meredith go. Feeling puzzled, Nia asked, “Grandma, why are daddy and mommy both busy with work and have got no time for me?” “Because your parents love you a lot and they’re working hard to earn money to pay for your treatment.”

“I see.” Nia nodded her head obediently.

She then looked at Alayna and asked, “Grandma, I want to go downstairs to wait for daddy and mommy, can I?”

Alayna did not know what to do.

Nia thought that Alayna was worried that she would catch a cold hence she quickly put on a jacket and said, “Look grandma, I won’t catch a cold if I wear this.”

Aside from worrying that Nia would catch a cold, Alayna mostly felt sorry for her.

Nia knew well that her parents would not show up but she still insisted on waiting for them at the entrance. The feeling of disappointment might be too heavy for a young child like Nia to bear.

But at the sight of the excited look on Nia’s face, Alayna could not bring herself to reject her. “Alright then. We’ll wait for twenty minutes and if they don’t show up, we’ll come back here, okay?”

“Okay! Thanks, grandma.” Even if it was just twenty minutes, Nia was already more than happy. Alayna helped Nia onto the wheelchair and covered her lap with a blanket before heading downstairs

Because of Nia’s health condition, Alayna did not dare to walk too far and stop in front of the hospital’s entrance.

In the wheelchair was Nia who was taking a careful look at everyone who passed by her.

Some passersby who noticed Nia even felt bad for her.

When Nia was asked what she was doing out in the cold, Nia would simply reply, “I’m waiting for my parents.”

Ysabelle who was walking out of the hospital lobby accidentally overheard Nia’s response.

She looked at Nia who was in the wheelchair and then at the flight of stairs in front of her,

Ysabelle came up with an evil plan. She stopped a passerby and stuffed a hundred dollar bill in the passerby’s hand and said something into her ear. With a look of disbelief on her face, the passerby took a look at the hundred dollar bill in her hand and asked, “All I have to do is ask for directions? Nothing else?” “Yeah, just the directions.” Ysabelle adjusted the sunglasses resting on her nose. The passerby accepted Ysabelle’s request without any hesitation. After checking the time, Alayna leaned toward Nia and said, “Nia darling, twenty minutes have passed and we should head back to your room now.”

“Grandma, can we wait for two more minutes? Just two more minutes.”. Nia had the same look on her face and once again, Alayna could not bring herself to reject her. Shaking her head helplessly, Alayna replied, “Sure darling. Two more minutes.” Feeling happy, Nia returned her gaze to the street filled with

passersby. “Miss, would you mind telling me where the first entrance of the hospital is?” Alayna turned around to see who was asking for directions. , Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

When she realized that it was a middle-aged woman, Alayna patiently told her the directions,” Walk straight from here, take a turn on your right at the first turn, and walk further ahead, you’ll see the first entrance on your left.”
