“When we were about to leave, you held my hand and showed concern,” Joshua clarified,
pursing his lips and acting obediently.
Cynthia was taken aback.
Did he became happy because of her simple question?
Joshua had been observing Cynthia all along, and when she did not respond, he softly
said, “Cynthia.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve never seen you smile.”
“I don’t like to smile.”

“Don’t believe me? Give it a try,” the doctor suggested, raising an eyebrow.
Joshua looked around.
The doctor said, “I’m going to puncture it now,” and pierced the blister with a sterile
needle.
Joshua could not bear the pain this time and hissed, frowning hard.
Cynthia glanced at him. “Does it hurt a lot?”
“It hurts…” Joshua’s eyes welled up with tears, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
Cynthia was definitely affected by his reaction.
