Zendaya cried so much that she suffered a fit of hiccup

Nico hurriedly patted her back and coased. “Don’t worry, Zendy Uncle Charles will wear it eventually He’s still injured, Hugging his cast like that will be painful for him

At the same time, he shot Charles a frantic glance.

Charles got the memo and immediately grasped his cast with his left hand He inhaled sharply and knimed his brows, appearing to be in deep pain

His acting did the trick, and Zendaya obediently let go of his cast. She sat beside him and stared at him with puppy dog eyes.

“Did I hurt Uncle Charles?”

Charles smiled tenderly at her and said, “It’s okay. I can handle it.”

Once again. Nico rolled his eyes at Charles’ flamboyant acting

Zendaya stared intently at Charles’ cast and asked softly, “I thought I could finally see Uncle Charles and Uncle Nico in dresses today. I didn’t know your injuries were so bad. How long did you need to recover””

“About…” Charles looked to Nico for guidance.

Nico began an extensive pantomime behind Zendaya.

He raised three fingers, and Charles instantly understood his message.

“It takes longer to recover from broken bones. The doctor said I’ll need at least a hundred days to fully recover, so that’ll be about three months.”

Nico nodded in satisfaction and discreetly shot Charles a thumbs-up in approval.

The answer brought a frown to Zendaya’s face. She appeared to be in deep thought before finally asking “Will it really take that long? Daddy said Uncle Charles trained in fighting since young, so his body is very strong. He should recover in a few days.
