Still Loving You Nonetheless

Chapter 24 

By the time Meredith arrived at the hospital, her mother, Alayna Sawyer was on her knees begging Nia’s doctor, “Doctor Logan, please don’t kick Nia out. 

My daughter is in the middle of getting the money. She will have the money…please, I’m begging you, Doctor Logan…” Looking perplexed, Doctor Logan said, “Miss Alayna, it’s really not that I don’t wish to keep Nia around, but the hospital has got its rules, and you have to pay the bills before we can continue treating her. I have already tried to negotiate with the director of the hospital, but the debt you owe the hospital is simply too much. I really can’t keep Nia around anymore.”

 “I did,” replied Meredith as she reached into her backpack, took out a stack of cash, put them into Alayna’s hand, and went on, “Here’s a total of five million and three thousand dollars. Mom, please use this to pay for Nia’s medical bills.”
