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 words struck Nnenna like a bolt of lightning. 'Being good can actually open doors to secrets for me?'

It was something worth considering.

Nurse Courage's soft voice filled the room as she continued chatting with Nnenna, her tone comforting and warm. But as the minutes passed, Nnenna's eyelids grew heavy. Her thoughts slowed, her body relaxed, and she eventually succumbed to sleep.

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.
