Another Spring - Chapter 6

---- Chapter 6 The past events had mostly faded from my memory, but I still felt abit sad whenever I thought of them. I drove into the small village and entered the clinic from back then. "Why are you so late today?" Miranda Lewis asked. Ipicked up the white coat on the side and put it on. "Something delayed me." Seeing people's confusion, Miranda proudly said, "This is my child. She works at the city hospital and comes to help me after work." I smiled and lowered my head, continuing to fiddle with the medicine. After dropping out of school, I rented a place outside the city.

Back then, before attempting suicide, I went to Miranda's clinic to have my cast removed. It hurt a lot, and the fracture had not healed, but I wanted to see her one last time. She was one of the few people who had shown me kindness. Later, she mentioned that she could not forget the look in my eyes after I left the clinic, It was so desperate and numb yet determined. She felt she would only be relieved if she saw me. After I left, she asked around for my address and happened to stumble upon me attempting suicide.

The doctor said I would not have made it if I had not received timely treatment and proper first aid. ---- When I woke up in the hospital, my eyes were empty like my body; Thad absolutely no will to live. That was when Miranda told me I was pregnant. "Even if you won't think about yourself, you should think about the baby!" Ichoked up, unable to utter a single word. Miranda touched my face, feeling heartbroken. "You're so thin. How can you be so thin? Your parents must feel heartbroken. ' My nose felt sore as tears welled up in my eyes again. I typed on my phone: (Thank you.

I have no parents. I'm an orphan. ] Miranda's eyes were filled with heartache. "If you have nowhere to go, come home with me! I have no children, and I lack a child!" Ipaused, my heart aching terribly. Then, I nodded heavily. This baby and Miranda came so suddenly yet so timely. They saved my life, which was nearing its end. Lalready had nothing left. Dignity was even worthless. This child was my only family. My parents did not want me. I would not be like them; I would not abandon my child. A certain obsession made me eagerly anticipate the birth of this baby.

"I need more medication!" The shout pulled me back to reality. Looked up and saw Greyson standing outside the glass door. He had followed me from the hospital. I got up, got him the medication he needed, and then called out to ---- Miranda, "I'm going out for a bit. Don't wait for me tonight." The snow outside fell gently. Greyson and I walked along the road, the cold air calming us both. "Nicola, you-" "Greyson, I came out with you because I don't want anyone to know we know each other. We're not friends who can catch up with each other," I interrupted him.
