Upon hearing the words “blood test”, Skylar grimaced and gave Tobias a look, asking for his help.

Skylar had experienced finger-prick blood tests before and it was even more painful than taking an injection. The minute the needle pricked into your flesh, it would be terribly excruciating.

Tobias patted Skylar’s shoulder. “Let’s go now. We still need to wait another thirty minutes for the blood test result later. If we dawdle some more, the sky would turn bright soon. Come on, be a good girl, alright?”

Listening to his coaxing in a deep and husky voice, especially the words “good girl”, Skylar could feel the ticklish sensation in her ears.
