Upon receiving Maisie's call, Daniel rushed to the international kindergarten.

However, doubts filled his mind on the way. Persephone's primary guardians were Zuko and Lina. Even if they were busy with work and couldn't be reached, there were still her grandparents. Thus, there was no reason for him, her granduncle, to be called.

She looked at him, blinking her big eyes twice.

Daniel frowned, noticing her rosy cheeks and calm demeanor. There was no sign of discomfort.

"Where does it hurt?" Daniel walked over and held her small hand.

Seizing the opportunity, Persephone secretly pinched him and put on a weak face. "Granduncle... My tummy hurts."
