While skillfully operating, the nurse asked, "Why isn't your dad with you today?"
Nian Nian was stunned for a moment, then said, "He's not my dad."
"Oh? Is that so?"
The nurse made an exaggerated expression, actually teasing the little guy.
Nian Nian said seriously, "My dad is in Australia. He's my uncle."
Seeing the seriousness on the little guy's face, the nurse couldn't help but laugh along.
After that, the nurse reached out and gently rubbed his head, saying, "Okay, got it. Be a good boy and take your shot, okay?"
Only then did the little guy watch the nurse as she walked out of sight.
