Still Loving You Nonetheless novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284

Josiah had always hated the sight of Nia and he hated to hear the mention of her name. Because it would always remind him of the fact that Meredith had cheated on him.

Nia’s name was like a taboo to him.

But for some reason, he felt a wrenching pain in his chest at the sight of Nia lying lifelessly in Meredith’s arms.

He should not be having this kind of feeling because Nia was not related to him in any way. He should not be feeling sorry for Nia.

He knew that he should walk away but his legs were somehow glued to the floor. The doctor pleaded with Josiah. “Sir, would you mind talking to Miss Meredith and having her let go of Nia? The poor girl…had already left us.” “She’s left us…?”

“Yes,” The doctor nodded and went on, “but Miss Meredith is not willing to let go of her. She’s insisting on bringing the child to another hospital,”

Looking at Meredith who was bawling her eyes out, Josiah finally said to her, “Meredith, let go of the child and come home with me.”

Meredith stopped crying. She turned her head and stared at Josiah.

“Josiah Shelby, you’re thrilled, aren’t you? You’ve finally killed your own daughter.” “…” Josiah’s gaze clouded. “Meredith Leighton, stop accusing me.”

“The child is already dead. What’s the use of testing it?”

Between her tears, Meredith laughed sorrowfully, “Why should I be the only one to be grieving over Nia when you, her father, who killed her with your own hands could pretend as if nothing had happened? I want you to feel the same pain as I do!”

“I didn’t.” Josiah tried his best to remain calm.

Holding tightly onto Nia, Meredith shouted, “Go away Josiah Shelby, you heartless monster! You have no right to be in this room with Nia! Leave!” Gripping tightly onto the lock of hair, Josiah felt something pressing on his chest. He felt suffocated. He could not even bring himself to take a look at Nia who was in Meredith’s arms. He did not dare to see that pale face of hers. Meredith started begging the doctor again. “Doctor, Nia’s body is still warm. Please try saving her once more, please…” “Miss Meredith, you’ve seen the numbers yourself. There’s really nothing else that we could do,” The doctor replied helplessly. Josiah did not dare to look at Nia nor did he dare to look at the numbers on the charts that were falling drastically. He then turned around and walked out of the surgery room. As soon as Josiah walked out of the room, Meredith regretted what she said. “Don’t go! Josiah, don’t go!” With Nia in her hands, she staggered and stumbled to the door, and stopped Josiah from leaving. “Josiah, please hold Nia in your arms, please do that for her, will you?” Meredith begged,” When Nia was alive, she had always hoped for her dad and her mom to stay together, but her wish never came true. Could you please…for her sake…just give her a hug?”
