Chatper 508

Chapter 508

Hearing Stella’s explanation, I finally heaved a sigh of relief, albeit secretly.

This chatterbox definitely couldn’t be let in on the real deal. She just couldn’t keep a

secret.

“Could be. I mean, I’m a sucker for a good looker, and guess they are too.” I casually

chimed in.

Just then, a different nurse arrived. She was a bit older and probably more experienced. She asked me where my child was, and Neil’s voice echoed from a nearby distance, “Over

here.”

Serena was nestled cozily in his arms, occasionally gazing up at him with a lively smile. The sight was rather heartwarming, reminiscent of a father-daughter bond.

Stella’s eyes were darting around. Her biggest hobby had been gossiping. If something felt off, she just had to stick her nose in it.

“Maybe the mother should be holding her.” the nurse suggested to Neil, “Moms usually have a better touch.”

I reached out to take Serena from Neil’s arms. As the nurse was instructing me on how to hold her for the injection, Neil suddenly voiced his concern, “Will this be a one-shot deal?”

The nurse hesitated for a second. The marks from the previous jab were still evident on Serena’s forehead. She appeared somewhat embarrassed, “The previous nurse was a bit jittery due to lack of experience. I can assure you that I’ll get it right the first time.”

Neil’s stern look softened a bit upon hearing this. He seemed even more concerned for Serena than I was, though I had no proof of this.

This time, thankfully, the procedure was successful. Serena let out a small cry, but at least the IV was now in place. I carried her to the IV room, which was deserted at this late hour. There were only me, Serena, Stella, and Neil.
