âYay!â Dylanâs eyes lit up excitedly.
âDylan, itâs time for your injection.
â Suddenly, a womanâs voice sounded from the other end of the Line.
From the video call, I saw the door to Dylanâs ward opening, and a nurse came in.
The nurse skillfully drew the medicine into the syringe and then rolled up Dylanâs sleeve, revealing his arm.
Dylan looked very calm.
The thick needle was inserted into his slender arm, but he didnât so much as wince.
After the injection, the nurse handed Dylan a cup filled with pills.
Dylan accepted them naturally.
He even said âthank youâ to the nurse in a low voice.
I had mixed feelings, seeing such a scene.
Whenever Elena was sick and needed medicine, she always made a huge fuss.
Iâd have to coax her for a long time before sheâd finally take it.
Dylan, on the other hand, behaved obediently.
He mustâve gotten used to such treatment.
Ny heart twitched inexplicably at the thought.
He was so young.
How did he get through a pain that even adults couldnât take?
After Dylan swallowed the last of his pills, Jenifer sighed with relief.
âDylan, get some rest.
Iâll visit you when Iâm free, okay?â
âokay, thank you, Grandma.
â Dylan smiled at her politely.
Jenifer ended the call, and Dylanâs face disappeared from the phone screen.
I was at a loss.

After a moment of silence, I asked in a low voice, âWhereâs Denise?
Didnât she go to see Dylan?â
At the mention of Deniseâs name, Jeniferâs expression darkened.
Her gaze turned cold, and she expressed her anger, saying, âAfter I sent her away, she only visited Dylan at the hospital twice.
And on each occasion, she tried to manipulate Dylan into begging Caleb to take her back into our family.
â
âonly twice?â I was shocked.
âYes,â Jenifer said through gritted teeth.
âI donât know how this heartless woman became a mother.
How could she be so cold to her own child?â
After hearing what Jenifer had to say about Denise, I found it strange.
I asked Ivy secretly, âDonât you think that Denise is acting weird? Itâs like Dylan isnât even her child-like sheâs just using him as a pawn.
â
Ivy agreed.
âItâs obvious that Denise is a failure of a mother.
Her own son likes his stepmother more.
I get the feeling that Dylan doesnât like his mother that much.
