Stuck in you

Rachel stopped and grinned at Celia. "What a coincidence! What brings you here?"

Seeing that Celia wasn't wearing her nurse uniform, Rachel thought that she wasn't working here. After all, she hadn't even finished school.

Celia pouted. "I came here with my cousin for her prenatal checkup."

When Rachel finally looked around, she found that they were in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

She blinked wearily, shocked that she had walked all the way here.

"Your cousin?" Rachel slowly asked.

"Yeah."

"I see. How long has she been pregnant?"

There was a short pause before Celine answered, "35 weeks." 'Another troublemaker's about to come out to the world,'

she thought with a sigh.

"Congratulations! You're going to have a niece or nephew," Rachel teased.

Celia pouted. She might be a few years younger than Rachel, but she still looked like a child.

"Ugh! I'm not happy at all. It's going to be another troublemaker," she groaned.

Hearing her words, Rachel suddenly thought of Mendes whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She raised her head. "What about Mendes? Where is he?"

"Don't even bother mentioning him." Celia snorted, pursing her lips.

When their father was abroad, she and Mendes only had each other to rely on. But things had taken a turn when their father returned.

The man used to be so distant and cold towards his own children, but when he returned, he told them how he wanted to be a better father.

Celia didn't believe him at first. In fact, she laughed and mocked him secretly. She had thought that he wouldn't be able to survive in his role for long.

But to her surprise, her father stayed. No matter how much troubling it had gotten, he remained patient.

She didn't know what had gotten to the man.

That was why Celia had grown increasingly bored inside their home. She always felt as if she was left out from the father-and-son duo.

Celia was already a grown-up. She wasn't like Mendes, who could easily be coaxed.

However, in her heart, there was a little girl who was still so eager to earn her father's love, but she made sure to guard herself so much that it prevented her father from getting close to her.
