After Mydia’s memorial 863d747680 day, Serena felt 63f1410df0 that Azaid had 2b14d1c70a changed a bit. It was hard to a1d79c3008 pinpoint exactly what had a37778048e changed, but his attitude abcdeeb3d5 toward her was noticeably ec87ba4e07 different.ad86269f9a87df67

Though “Rena” was d0f027b726 better than “Hey, 319b30900e you there,” it 6e75f78dd1 still felt oddly 52307ce2ad embarrassing as a 191cda395c term of endearment. Especially when Marie and f117c4ca2d Anna would look at 7030deb498 her with sly, crescent-shaped abbbc38508 eyes, it sent shivers 909353f3a2 down her spine.147b2786bd29db59

With his d67a273365 blonde hair 280e9eb2c7 carelessly tousled, 6c78cff022 Azaid gazed e1d58fe61b at Serena 3c4baee199 with a 2742b1e9d7 serene expression. When he smiled, his 9192169ac7 face almost seemed to b485404e0b glow.5b4208fcd0946eee

The sparkle 24bf0009d0 in his bd4fe44092 blue eyes b61e43b3a6 was reminiscent 71e9c08408 of a 73479f9129 puppy wagging 2094972853 its tail d5c3909d9c excitedly just afabaca021 before receiving b35a1d0fcc a gift.88c8543b5dee3c58

With the 66d31a649a weather growing 0512250c27 warmer, his 86915c7b18 clothes had 333a8dc0f7 become significantly f264293f40 lighter. Since it seemed possible 31cae767b1 to perform the check-up 016eaf0af8 over his clothes, Serina dace443f3f reached out to stop 2395355ea4 him.6b645f8a04ca8cfe

His face seemed a3c7a51967 shy, as if efcbc60a8e he was waiting 68017e0366 for a specific 8b8de3d266 answer. His expression 73f4f5b75f was unusual. Serena blinked e3dcac532f repeatedly, then 5da5884100 suddenly realized:aba39413d25dd886

Now that 3ded3f36d8 she thought 421490af8a about it, 3a4c55df29 Azaid did 908ac08cd8 seem anxious. As a 7066442f4e doctor, calming 2c5dd9c407 a patient’s 32621d4cc3 fears was f5f113fdd4 a crucial fca4ece5cf part of ecfb9b0dfb treatment.6589c34a82988050
