They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

But now, hearing that he had visited monthly, Nnenna couldn't help but wonder. 'Does this mean he's helped me in other ways I didn't even know about?'

The voice of the Love System chimed in, answering her thoughts. "I told you that everyone deserves a second chance. Plus, in your previous life, you never called Nurse Courage 'Mommy,' but doing so now has opened up a secret."

The nurse smiled gently, pausing mid-sentence as she noticed the young girl's peaceful expression. Quietly, she stood up and pulled the blanket over Nnenna's shoulders, tucking her in with motherly care.
