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, yna stroked the back of Nia’s head andforted her, “Your


    mommy is still at work and I’m sure that she’lle 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 ns


    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 yna and asked, “Grandma, I want to go downstairs to wait for daddy and


    mommy, can I?”


    yna did not know what to do.


    Nia thought that yna 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, yna 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, yna could not bring herself to reject her. “Alright


    then. We’ll wait for twenty minutes and if they don’t show up, we’lle back here, okay?”


    “Okay! Thanks, grandma.” Even if it was just twenty minutes, Nia was already more than happy. yna


    helped Nia onto the wheelchair and covered herp with a nket before heading downstairs


    Because of Nia’s health condition, yna 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 identally 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 n. She stopped a passerby and stuffed a hundred dor 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 dor bill in her hand and asked, “All I have to do is ask for directions?


    Nothing else?” “Yeah, just the directions.” Ysabelle adjusted the sunsses resting on her nose. The


    passerby epted Ysabelle’s request without any hesitation. After checking the time, yna 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, yna could not bring herself to reject her. Shaking her head helplessly, yna


    replied, “Sure darling. Two more minutes.” Feeling happy, Nia returned her gaze to the street filled withN?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    passersby. “Miss, would you mind telling me where the first entrance of the hospital is?” yna turned


    around to see who was asking for directions. ,


    When she realized that it was a middle-aged woman, yna 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.”
