Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 431

After hanging up the call, Russel came to tell me, “Something urgent came up at the hospital. I need to head out.”

I nodded subtly, watching as Russel left.

“Ms. Finch, we need to get Serena and Brandon their vaccinations today,” Norah reminded me as she walked in.

“Right, I almost forgot. Norah, you stay home and look after Yara, and I’ll take Serena and Brandon,” I slapped my forehead, almost forgetting this important task.

Norah seemed a bit worried, “Ms. Finch, are you sure you can handle it alone?”

I was getting the hang of it and my confidence level was rising when it came to taking care of the kids.

“It’s fine, Yara doesn’t need her shots today, no need to bring her along. Just remember, Norah, don’t let Mitch in,” I reminded Norah as I gathered the necessary paperwork for the vaccinations.

Norah nodded, “I understand.”

Once everything was ready, I packed the documents, settled Serena and Brandon in the car and set off for the hospital.

This was my first time taking two kids to get vaccinated by myself. Even though I was confident before leaving, I found myself a bit overwhelmed once we arrived at the hospital.

The two little ones cried out in pain during the shots, and their cries were heart-wrenching. If I consoled one, the other would cry, and vice versa. “Don’t cry, Serena, Mommy will hold you soon!” After comforting Brandon, I rushed to hold Serena.

But the moment I put Brandon down, he immediately started crying again, with a pout on his face.

I was pushing the stroller through the hospital lobby, feeling like a headless chicken.

“Little ones!” Suddenly, Hiram’s voice appeared. He was holding an airplane toy, leaning over the stroller, amusing Brandon, “Here’s a plane; it’s fun!” Brandon was attracted by Hiram’s voice; he stopped crying and started looking around curiously.

I must say, Hiram’s appearance was timely and effective.

He kept talking to Brandon with the toy, even singing some songs, distracting him completely from crying…
