Chapter 892

Chad felt a bit uneasy, "You should head back soon."

"It's alright, I'm with someone, so don't worry. I can take care of myself."

After hanging up, the group headed to get their vaccinations. Next up was Henry's "performance."

In the vaccination room, babies were being carried out, crying loudly. Normally, Henry would have been woken up by now, fussing as usual. But this time, he lay in his mom's arms, stubbornly keeping his eyes shut. Mia tried everything: pinching his cheeks, tickling his feet, swinging him around, even a little tap on his bottom. "Wake up, Henry, stop pretending, okay?"

Henry kept his eyes closed tight.

The nurse was ready with the shot, trying to rouse Henry by shaking him gently. His aunt and sister called his name, but Henry resisted, eyes stubbornly shut.

Anya asked, "Can't the baby get the shot while he's asleep?"

Mia shook her head, "No, he needs to be awake. Don't worry, Henry's just faking it!"

Mothers know their kids best.

Mia realized her little guy was pretending to avoid the shot.

The nurse, still trying to wake him by pinching his cheeks, remarked, "This baby is too clever, won't wake up no matter what."

Mia looked at his chubby cheeks and said to the girl beside her, "Anya, you're quick. Can you run and grab some ice cream for Auntie?"

"Auntie, are you trying to wake him with the cold?"

Molly quickly caught on, "No, she's trying to tempt him awake."
