As Charlotte held up the syringe carefully, trying to stay focused, Alex peeked one eye open and smirked.
"What, you're only gonna wear gloves? What about the sexy nurse outfit?"
Smack!
Charlotte bonked him on the head with her knuckles, hard enough to rattle his skull.
"Just stay still or I might accidentally poke your eyeball instead."
Alex shuddered. "Y-Yes ma'am."
His grin vanished quickly. He glanced at the vials with a serious expression.
"This medicine inside the vial… it's dangerous. Don't let it touch your fingers or anything else. Got it?"
Charlotte immediately nodded, her playful air vanishing.
"Understood."
She carefully pumped the corrupted blood into the syringe, her fingers slow and deliberate. The liquid inside resisted unnaturally, pulsing like a living thing. Charlotte moved toward Alex's right arm with care.
As she held the syringe steady, Alex clamped his eyes shut.
Charlotte smirked. "Oh~? Don't tell me you're scared of shots."
