Miracle Cutie (Amelia and Benjamin) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 Wanted To Go Out

Nina wailed until she cried herself out and fell asleep. Catherine took a damp cloth and wiped Nina down.

The doctor and the maids were there. They offered to take over so Catherine could rest.

But Catherine shook her head and refused.

She didn’t let them take Nina away.

Catherine stayed like that, watching over and caring for Nina herself until dawn.

That night, Catherine felt like she had been transported back to her own childhood, back to when she used to take care of Sienna like this.

Catherine felt so tired.

But she felt a long-forgotten sense of happiness.

It was the happiness of reliving those moments with Sienna.

Catherine stayed up until morning. Nina, having fussed all night, made it to morning, too.

Sick and listless, Nina’s usual morning “boot-up” time was much later than usual.

While she was still “offline,” Catherine left the room for a bit.

Edward saw her come out and hurried over, saying he could take Nina away now.

Catherine stared at him for a moment.

She frowned, her tone cool. “Didn’t you say she was an orphan? Then let her stay here.”

Her words made Edward’s brain short-circuit on the spot.

He stared at her, bewildered, wondering if he’d heard wrong.

“Let her… stay?” Edward asked, confused. “I thought you didn’t like kids?”

“She reminds me of Sienna when she was little,” Catherine said simply.

So, Catherine had decided to keep her.

Edward found himself at a loss for words in the face of Catherine’s decision.

1/4

Yesterday, to gain Catherine’s sympathy and leave Nina here, he had casually lied and called the child an orphan.

Now, his lie was coming back to bite him.

Catherine hated liars.

If she found out he’d lied, her opinion of him would plummet.

And lately, he wasn’t the only man trying to get close to Catherine.

Edward couldn’t think of a solution right away. Meanwhile, Catherine finished washing up and had breakfast.

Before she was done eating, Nina came limping and crying out of the room, looking for her.

She had woken up, found no one there, and panicked.

Seeing Nina crying and rushing toward her, Catherine reached out and scooped her up.

“What’s wrong?” Catherine asked.

Nina wiped her tears, clinging to Catherine. “Grandma, no… no go. Bad guy cacch Nina.”

She still had some shadows from being caught by the bad men.

Clinging to Catherine now, she looked utterly pitiful.

Catherine looked down at her and handed her a piece of toast.

“Stop crying. I’m not throwing you out.” Catherine gave her the promise.

Nina sniffled, took the toast, and nibbled on it.

After two bites, she got picky. “Grandma, no bwead. Hot dowg.”

Nina loved hot dogs.

Once she felt safe, she started making demands about food.

Catherine didn’t comment on her pickiness.

She just had the kitchen prepare the hot dog Nina wanted.

Before the hot dog arrived, Catherine offered Nina some milk.

At the sight of the milk, Nina immediately turned her face

away. “No.”

Nina was often made to drink milk at home.

She was sick of it.

Seeing her refusal, Catherine didn’t force it.

Soon, the new breakfast arrived, and Nina ate with gusto this time.

Full and satisfied, she lifted her chubby little foot for Catherine to see. “Grandma, foot huwt.”

Nina’s sprained, swollen foot was much better today, not so puffy anymore.

But it still hurt a little.

Catherine examined it and had the doctor apply more ointment.

Once medicated, Nina stopped limping. She just clung weakly to Catherine, wanting to be carried.

No-just being carried wasn’t enough.

She wanted Catherine to carry her outside.

Catherine had originally planned to have children’s clothes and supplies delivered directly to the house. But seeing how much Nina wanted to go out, she took her anyway.

She brought Nina to a department store.
