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

Chapter 15: Byee Uncle Ikenna!

As she watched him leave, Nnenna couldn't help but smile. She had gained more than just good points today. She had gained his attention, and perhaps, a little bit of his respect.

Physical therapy time had long passed, and Ikenna was preparing to leave for his other duties. His irritation, however, was evident in the sharp tone of his voice.

"If you keep skipping physical therapy, you might never walk again. I'm going now, but you better be ready to start moving when I get back here."

Four's only response was a fleeting glance in Ikenna's direction, his silence louder than words. He then turned his piercing gaze toward Nnenna, clearly signaling that she should follow the man who had brought her in.

But Nnenna, ever the master of feigned ignorance, acted as though she hadn't noticed. Instead, she directed her attention to Ikenna, who was at the door, and gave him a cheerful wave. "Byee, Uncle Ikenna!"

"By-wait, uncle?!" Ikenna roared in disbelief as the door shut firmly behind him. He spun around, his hand reaching for the door handle to address this audacious anomaly.

Before he could make any progress, however, the two male nurses stationed outside stepped forward.
