When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1860

Chapter 1860 A New Life
Meanwhile, Meredith saw Dahlia in the hospital room.

Dahlia's condition had stabilized, and she had been moved from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.

Apart from the nurse, there was no one else by her side.

However, Dahlia was very well-behaved, as if she understood that she had been abandoned by her parents. She didn't cry or fuss, sitting upright on her bed as she stared blankly out the window with her big eyes.

Caliste said to Meredith, “This child is truly resilient. Even when the nurse gave her injections or performed procedures, she didn't make a fuss.”

Meredith gave a nod, stepping forward and calling out softly, “Dahlia.”

Upon hearing Meredith's call, the small figure stirred slightly.

Dahlia turned her head to look at who it was.

Meredith stared into her beautiful eyes, initially taken aback.

The child is barely over a year old, yet there's not a spark of light in her eyes. They seem vacant, much like a stagnant pool of water.

At that moment, Meredith made up her mind.

She took a few strides forward, arriving in front of Dahlia.

“Dahlia, would you like to be my daughter?” Meredith wasn't sure if Dahlia could understand, so she added, “Would you let me be your mother, is that okay?”

Caliste, who was standing by the side, couldn't quite believe that Meredith really wanted to adopt Dahlia.

After all, the child was not in good health, and her mother was anything but decent.

Dahlia's large eyes flashed with a glimmer.

It seemed as though she understood, yet at the same time, it appeared as if she didn't. She remained silent, her expression blank.

Caliste stepped forward. “Dahlia, do you like Ms. Seller? Would you like to live with Ms. Seller from now on?”

Caliste was particularly hopeful that Dahlia would nod in agreement.

She would occasionally come over to see the child, whom she pitied.
