Chapter 488 Took Nina to the Hospital
Nina begged, “Mommy, hug Nina?”
Amelia looked down at her chubby little face. “Are you good now?”
Nina blinked her big eyes.
Amelia set down the hairdryer and bent down to pick up the calmer Nina.

The two made up right away. Benjamin picked up the hairdryer and finished drying Amelia’s hair.
The three of them were happy together. When Nina wasn’t throwing a fit, she was Amelia’s sweet little girl.
This warm moment lasted until the next morning.
Early the next day, Nina saw her tiny backpack and walked over to grab it.
Chloe was surprised when she saw Nina holding the backpack.
She asked, “Nina, are you gonna put on your backpack and go to school by yourself?”
Nina shook her head.
She walked away without looking back and mumbled, “Frow it.”
Nina didn’t want her backpack anymore.
Chloe hurried over and stopped Nina before she could throw it away.
She asked, “Are you going to throw your backpack away?”
Nina nodded firmly.
Chloe asked, “Why do you want to throw it away?”
Nina’s little face looked serious as she said, “Nina no go scoo.”
She thought that if Amelia put the backpack on her, she’d have to go to daycare.
So if she threw the backpack away, she wouldn’t have to go.
Chloe laughed helplessly and said, “Nina, throwing your backpack won’t work. You still have to go to school.”

She squatted down and tried to reason with Nina patiently.

Just then, Benjamin and Amelia walked out, all ready to go. When Amelia saw Nina holding the backpack, she praised her, “Good girl, Nina! You’re so eager to go to school.”
Amelia knew exactly what Nina was really thinking; she was teasing her.
Nina kept a tight little face and didn’t look happy at all after being praised.
She walked around Chloe and, right in front of everyone, tossed the backpack over the balcony.
Amelia followed right behind her. After Nina threw it, Amelia said calmly and firmly, “Go pick it up. Throwing the backpack won’t help. I can buy you a hundred more.”
With Amelia keeping her in line, Nina had a tough morning.
After breakfast, Amelia took her to Sunbeam Daycare again.
Nothing Nina said or did to protest worked.
Nina refused to take naps for three straight days at daycare.
On the fourth day, Amelia checked the camera at noon. She saw that after Nina had begged the teacher in vain, the little girl sadly pulled her small blanket over her head.
Once hidden under the blanket, Nina cried a few times softly.
Then she went quiet.
Lucy, who’d been gently comforting her, lifted the blanket. She found Nina had already fallen asleep.
Even in her sleep, Nina still looked sad.
Amelia felt a little bad for her.
Time flew by as Nina fussed day after day.
Friday arrived, and it was raining.
The fall rain was cold and crisp. Nina was already in a sweater dress and fuzzy leggings.
Her sandals had been put away.
Amelia had also gotten her new little shoes.

Nina didn’t fight much about wearing more clothes. She only threw a fit that one morning.
The day before, she’d insisted on wearing a T-shirt with a green dinosaur and butterfly sandals.
She cried when Amelia refused.
Seeing how stubborn Nina was being, Amelia put on the clothes she wanted with a stern look.
Nina ran outside in the T-shirt and sandals. But as soon as she stepped out of the main gate, a cold wind hit her. She stopped running right away.
She shivered and said, “Mommy, home!”
Her short legs carried her back toward the house without waiting for Amelia.
After getting cold like that, Nina behaved much better when Amelia dressed her warmly.
At the Sunbeam Daycare gate on Friday afternoon, Nina asked for Barry as soon as she saw Amelia.
Nina begged, “Mommy, go Barry?”
She’d wanted to visit Barry all week.
Amelia had only taken her once after school.
This time, after Nina begged, Amelia nodded. “Sure. Barry’s feeling better now. You can go see him. Be good while you’re there, okay?”
Nina nodded and replied quickly, “Mommy, Nina good.”
Amelia huffed softly. She didn’t believe a word of it.
Soon, Amelia took Nina to the hospital. In Barry’s hospital room, Lily’s parents-Russell and Sarah Langley, Barry’s maternal grandparents-were also present.
Nina had never met Russell or Sarah before.
When she heard Barry call them Grandma and Grandpa, she copied him.
Russell and Sarah absolutely adored Nina at first sight.
