Chapter 37 

 Lydia

 I stood in front of the room, walking back and forth. My hands sped together bringing it close to my face.

 My heart beat hysterically in my chest, my mind spiraling with thoughts.

 I thought about all the possible things that would have happened.

 I met Mnie groaning in pain in the room, her hand ced on her chest. Quickly, I took her to the hospital.

 fon

 Currently standing in my pajamas, I couldn’t stop walking around while waiting for the doctor toe out

 les the

 Mom had offered toe with me, but I refused, I needed someone to watch over Liam besides the nanny.

 The door soon opened, and the doctor walked out

 “She’s out of danger for now.” I ced one hand on my chest, and a wave of redef washed through me. I ced my hand on the nearest wall for support.

 “But I’d like you toe see me in my office in a while. We still have some tests we are running on her.”

 “Okay, Doctor. Can I go see her?” I asked, looking past him as two nurses walked out, rolling the stretcher.

 She had lost consciousness when we were bringing her to the hospital.

 “Yes. You can stay with her in the room.” They took Mnie to the VIP room. I sat close to her, watching her closed eyes

 Theld her hand.

 (Oh, my baby. My poor baby.” She has always had kidney problems due to the circumstances of her birth.

 It was been managed and has never been this bad.

 When they arrived, I took her to the hospital, but it wasn’t as serious then.

 But things like this weren’t unexpected

 At least today’s emergency has been sorted.

 The door of the room

 room opened, and Mom stepped in with Liam.

 “Hey!” Mom greeted me. She walked towards me. She brought a bag.

 “brought clothes. You should take a shower and have something to eat,” Liam ran towards me.

 I can see the fear written in his eyes. It was the same as it had been when I saw him earlier today.

 Raw fear.

 1 blinked the tears that had threatened to fall back. I had to be strong for my son. Thest thing I wanted was for him to be scared

 “You shouldn’t have brought him, I said to Moth, who was now close to Mnie. She had tears in her eyes. “Oh, my baby.” She cried.

 “I wanted toe. Don’t be mad at grandma.” Liam said.

 I wiped his eyes and shed him a smile.

 -Fine, I sald, im not angry.”

 His Mnie dying?” He asked, innocently, his voice broke at the end of his words.

 I shook my head, “no, the decibe said she is out of danger. She’ll be fine.”

 took a quick bath and then changed into trousers and a simple top.

 Liam and I had breakfast together.

 “When will Mnie wake up? She hasn’t had breakfast.” Liam said.

 “Soon. Eat now.”

 “She’ll probably want chocte when she wakes up.” He looked over to Mom, who was seated close to Mnie, reading her a story.

 “Grandma left in a hurry, so we couldn’t take any chocte bars, I know this is a hospital, but there should be a ce they sell around here, right?” he questioned.

 Ishook my head, “No, but I’ll get her chocte.”

 Two hourster, the results were out,

 I walked into the doctor’s office, stopping in front of the door, which had a rectangr silver te with the inscription “Dr. Mat.” linhaled sharply and stepped into the room.

 Dr. Mat sat behind his table. He had a small smile on his lips as he watched me walk closer, He had a <bptop on his table, and some files were arranged neatly on one side.

 Close to the namete, was a picture of a young girl, smiling. From the stark resemnce, I could tell it was his daughter.

 ing you got the result,” I said.

 “I’m assuming

 The clock ticked away at the side. “yes” He handed me a brown envelope. “Miss Brooks, I’m afraid the kidney 

 kidney disease is now chronic.” He began,

 Topened the envelope, pulling out the report. I don’t understand everything in it, but I understood enough to know how serious this was

 My eyes widened, and concern and fear crawled into my mind. “Please, what does this mean exactly?” I wanted to be exined to

 “The kidneys are not functioning properly. This is dangerous as it can lead to a buildup of toxins. But it can be managed. I’m d it was identified on time.” His words did little to lift my spirit, and so did thepassionate look in his eyes

 “How? I can pay as much as you need.” Money wasn’t the problem. Ijust want my daughter to be in good health.

 “As I said earlier, her condition is serious, but it can be managed. However, we still need to conduct some search on her.”

 “What treatment? When do we start?” I was leaning out of my chair, trying to keep my voice steady 

 “Well, it’s a lot. Dialysis or kidney transnt may be needed my brain spun, trying to process the information.

 He noticed my fear and said, “Kidney disease is not the end of the world. With proper treatment, a person can live a normal life as long as their health is closely monitored. Adjustments can be made when necessary.”

 His words did nothing to calm ne, “what about her heart?” It is well known that kidney conditions may sometimes affect the heart.

 “We are monitoring her heart closely. We still need to run some tests on that let you know the heart condition in full the results are out.”

 Tears gathered in my eyes as I stepped out of the doctor’s office.

 I didn’t go back to the room immediately, I couldn’t go with tears in my eyes, I don’t want to stare l

 He is sensitive and can already sense things. I don’t want to worsen it.

 It took a while for me to regain my emotions.

 Twiped my tears with the back of my hand.

 The hallway was busy, with people walking around. We all had one goal and one with. That our loved ones get biter.

 I stepped out of the hospital. I’d get the chocte for Mnie

 When I get back, the should be awake..

 After buying the chocte from the closest convenience store, I walked back to the hospital

 I was about to enter the hallway leading to Mnie’s room when I heard the cries of a girl in the opposite hallway

 1 paused and turned.

 A girl was on her knees, begging a doctor. Her stomach protruded from the dress she wore.

 “Please, I’ll pay, just don’t stop the treatment.”

 “I’m sorry, that’s not possible. We’ll move her from the VIP room for now and resume treatment when you’ve made the deposit.”

 The girl dropped to her knees, and the doctor turned a blind eye and walked away. The littlemotion caught the attention of many.

 However, no one stopped forward.

 I couldn’t me th

 them. Here, everyone had enough on their te.

 I couldn’t me the doctor either.

 I walked to the girl and offered her a handkerchief.

 She raised her head, and a look of surprise shed through her face.

 I helped her to her feat. We sat on the closest bench.

 Seeing her with a baby bump reminded me of Lydia. She reminded me of myself, and I felt the urge to help her.

 “What happened?” asked

 That’s if you don’t mind me asking.” I quickly added.

 She began crying again, and I wished I had held my tongue. “My mom, she’s sick.” She narrated how her mom had gotten into an ident three months

 The man who hit them was rich and had brought her here, “initially, he took care of the hospital bills, butst month, for some reason, he stopped.” Tears rolled down her eyes.

 She wiped it with the handkerchiefs.

 “I’ve tried contacting him but to no avail. There’s no way I can raise the money all at once; 500,000 dors is a lot of mone

 Seeing her cry broke something within

 I decided to help.

 I held her while she cried, “You don’t have to worry,” I said. I pulled out my phone. Til tak? c?mi bil. Heraus Thodded

 “But you don’t know me. We are strangers. Why are you being kind to me?”

 “You don’t act in kindness to those you know alone, sak

 1 stood and left; I gave her a bar of choctes and assured h

 my assistant would keep in touch with her.

 I walked towards Mnie’s room, hoping the kindness that I extended woulde back to me and Mnie would be fine.

 I stepped into the room.

 Mom was still seated close to Mnie. “I’m back, Hooked around the room.

 Liam wasn’t here.

 “Is she awake?” asked, and Mont shook her head.

 “Where’s Liam?” she asked.

 I furrowed my brows. “I should be asking that, I left him in the room.

 “You did?” The bag I held fell from my hold. I checked the restroom, but he wasn’t there.

 I pushed my hair backwards. This was the wrong time for this to be happening Liam. Can’t be missing.
