Lilly Crawford looked confused, saying, "This sounds familiar, like something she saw in a cheesy TV drama before!"
She shook her head, furrowing her brows seriously. "No more fighting or arguing in the future. Fighting and arguing are behaviors of naughty children!"
Bellflower obediently lay on the ground, rubbing against Lilly Crawford with its head.
Polly was also well-behaved, using her little head to rub against Lilly Crawford. "Good girl, Polly! Good girl!" she exclaimed.
Lilly Crawford burst into giggles as Polly rubbed her head against her.
The wolfhound glanced up, then looked at its food bowl, showing zero interest in eating.
Lilly Crawford sighed, saying, "Why don't you like eating? That's not allowed! When you're sick, you need to eat well to regain your strength!"
In looking at the wolfhound, the little one leaned on her knees and rested her chin on her knees.
The wolfhound silently gazed back at them.
The wolfhound, with its yellow and black fur, should have appeared fierce, but now it seemed lacking energy, unable to eat properly.
Lilly Crawford suddenly exclaimed, "I know, your stomach is not feeling well!"
She understood this. When Josh, her older brother, was telling stories yesterday, he mentioned that nightmares were caused by an upset stomach.
The little one's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Then it's settled, your name is Nightmare!"
Wolfhound: "?"
Lilly Crawford stood up and sprinted into the house.
While shouting for her grandmother, "Grandma! Nightmare has a stomach issue, and Lilly Crawford wants to make pills for Nightmare!"
Grandma, who was cooking, was puzzled.
Previously, when prescribing medicine for Anthony Crawford, the family stocked up on some Chinese herbs. Lilly Crawford rummaged through the pantry where the dried goods were stored and gathered a few herbal ingredients, kneading them together.
Then she carried a small basket and placed it in front of Nightmare. "Come, take medicine!"
Wolfhound: "?"
In the end, the wolfhound didn't consume those pills. No dog eats medicine like that...
Bettany Levine decided to have someone take the medicine and simmer it in a bone and meat broth, specifically for the wolfhound.
However, the wolfhound's fur remained lustreless, and its body was skeletal. Nevertheless, it was given a fierce name—Nightmare...
Bettany Levine took Lilly Crawford to get vaccinated.
Lilly Crawford: I really want to escape, but I can't!
They soon arrived at the hospital and quickly found themselves seated in the vaccination room.
The nurse aunt pressed the needle, and with a quick "whoosh," a drop or two of medicine came out of the needle.
"Come on, don't be nervous, raise your hand."
Lilly Crawford had a nervous expression. "Nurse aunt, I'm not nervous."
Hannah Crawford covered her face and peeked through a gap between her fingers at Lilly Crawford, relishing the moment. "Haha, don't be afraid, little sister. If you're scared, just sing a song!"
It was unclear who had sung last time, but the nurses in the vaccination room still remembered her.
Upon hearing the remark, a nurse looked up and smiled. "Oh, it's Hannah Crawford. Let me check... Here are two forms. Hannah Crawford is due for the third shot."
Hannah Crawford's smile froze instantly.
Lilly Crawford tightly closed her eyes and shouted, "Nurse auntie, hurry up! Don't be polite with me!"
The nurses couldn't help but burst into laughter. As a result, when the needle was administered, it didn't penetrate in.
The nurse chuckled even more. "Little one, you're too nervous. Your muscles are too tense, the needle can't even go in!"
"You're kidding, I see that it's in."
The nurse rubbed her arm while saying, "Relax..."
At that moment, a woman walked out of the office into the vaccination room. She noticed Lilly Crawford and exclaimed, "Oh, it's you!" in surprise.
It was indeed Veronica McCarthy.
Veronica McCarthy saw the sweating nurse struggling to administer the injection and smiled, saying, "Let me handle it! This requires a bit of experience and technique. If the muscles are too tense, even if the needle is inserted in, it can easily break."
Lilly Crawford's eyes lit up upon seeing Veronica McCarthy.
Master had instructed her to investigate, after all.
Then she appeared.
