Stuck in you

Chapter 31 Encounter

Now that she was crying, Celine sounded less like she was questioning Jack and more like behaving in a spoiled manner. As a result, the coldness in Jack's eyes finally died down.

Jack reached out and held Celine in his arms, coaxing her as he always did when she was sad and in tears. He patted her on the back gently and whispered in her ear, "I didn't sleep well last night, that's why I'm in a bad mood today. Don't be angry."

Meanwhile, at the hospital, a chubby boy called out, "Pretty Rachel..."

Feeling the boy move in her arms, Rachel patted him on his butt and warned, "Mendes, don't move, or else the needle will prick you in the wrong place."

The young boy turned around and saw a nurse holding a glittering needle and smiling at him like a witch. With a shiver, he turned back to Rachel's arms, grabbed her clothes, and begged pathetically, "Rachel, you give me the injection, please! I don't want to get it from this witch."

The nurse, Celia Xu, closed her eyes and took a deep breath to control her impatience and said,

"Fatty, come here!"

"Oh, no! The witch is coming!" As the chubby boy in her arms pretended to cry, Rachel had to hold his chest with one hand to prevent him from squishing his broken arm.

Celia gnashed her teeth in anger.

Rachel patted the boy's butt again and smiled. "No more kidding, or we'll have to give you two injections."

However, the boy still didn't listen to her and continued to twist and turn in her arms. Rolling her eyes, Celia grabbed the back of the boy's collar and pulled him. Then, grinding her teeth, she asked, "Fatty! You think you can take advantage of Dr. Shen just because she's nice?"

Mendes Xu just stared back at her with puppy dog eyes.

Already at her limit, Celia pressed the boy down onto the chair and threatened him, "Don't move, or I'll throw you out!"

Upon hearing this, the boy suddenly burst into tears,

bawling so loudly that everyone in the room turned to look at him.

Celia just stood there at a loss with the needle in her hand.

She hadn't expected that the boy would actually cry.

Anger dissipating, she called in a low voice, "Hey, Mendes..."

However, Mendes ignored her and turned to Rachel as he wiped his eyes with one hand. "Waah! Dr. Shen! I want my mommy..."
