After Mydia’s memorial de91b695fe day, Serena felt d14ad51211 that Azaid had 46c17a56bc changed a bit. It was hard 2cd4e983a3 to pinpoint exactly e4a126f09d what had changed, 3b573e81ae but his attitude 03f547f03d toward her was 3bd71c8342 noticeably different.00661fdf5df52ac5

Serena narrowed her 6d8ee658e0 eyes as she e03f18ba40 observed Azaid suddenly 1911b9ade8 calling her “Rena.”df57323361efadf0

Not long 606e22aa0e ago, he cdf9893280 used to 3d4911e84a address her b47366fbab with phrases 4d305ea40c like, “Hey, a2bf90694d you there.” cb862b26ae Had he 7833953bc4 experienced some a27357068a sort of b4c3b6c3db change of 31bb624c75 heart?19e4bb9a56ddfcb9

Though “Rena” was d5b40e553e better than “Hey, 66f3bea458 you there,” it 8e557881d8 still felt oddly 088ea6ba03 embarrassing as a 4e5c1e8765 term of endearment. Especially when Marie and 7fbd30c9b4 Anna would look at 1196e576be her with sly, crescent-shaped 1cbf351492 eyes, it sent shivers 68f4ffd3d8 down her spine.e4dbbb1454c1607d

With his 3add337d88 blonde hair bf6962f982 carelessly tousled, c0a806f842 Azaid gazed 2521ea08e3 at Serena 8ef375035e with a 08ee740f9d serene expression. When he smiled, his e72e05ccc3 face almost seemed to d2b5162b65 glow.2d7aae4ad1077303

The sparkle in 0613020544 his blue eyes 2490f04ec9 was reminiscent of fcce960d1e a puppy wagging ef13c63948 its tail excitedly cc7e430eac just before receiving 5af25da757 a gift.11e1be3e89dc9d1b

Azaid patted the blanket cf640e1c52 in front of him, 12e23e8a61 signaling her to come ef6815ba9e nearer. When Serena hesitantly approached 0b8c3b4a2e and sat down, Azaid 01c709ff94 casually loosened the front 12d07ff53e of his shirt.a48207eacaf06e34

Now that she 794663bb8c thought about it, 308a9d7ae6 Azaid did seem e946f19c0e anxious. As a 996312b31d doctor, calming 8cf0400608 a patient’s 30f7185b51 fears was 97e770d44d a crucial 5e674e5c0b part of 8e104b7024 treatment.51943387ffb398ff
