Chapter 508

Hearing Stella’s explanation, I finally heaved a sigh of relief, albeit secretly.

This chatterbox definitely couldn’t be let in on the real deal. She just couldn’t keep a

Serena was nestled cozily in his arms, occasionally gazing up at him with a lively smile. The sight was rather heartwarming, reminiscent of a father-daughter bond.

I reached out to take Serena from Neil’s arms. As the nurse was instructing me on how to hold her for the injection, Neil suddenly voiced his concern, “Will this be a one-shot deal?”

The nurse hesitated for a second. The marks from the previous jab were still evident on Serena’s forehead. She appeared somewhat embarrassed, “The previous nurse was a bit jittery due to lack of experience. I can assure you that I’ll get it right the first time.”

Neil’s stern look softened a bit upon hearing this. He seemed even more concerned for Serena than I was, though I had no proof of this.
