Chapter 472
Cassandra arrived at the military residential compound an hour and a half later.
She also wanted to hurry over, but her butts were in great pain when she sat in the driver’s seat.
She regretted seducing Kenneth the night before. How naive she was!
She thought it was just one night. She indulged herself to have sex with him all night. When she got up this morning, her lower back was in excruciating pain.
She tried so hard to endure the ache with each step. It was horrible.

Kenneth was so strong that he could last longer in bed. She was no match for him at all.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, her butt was so painful that she had to go back to her room for a pillow.
On second thought, she fetched a few more in various sizes just in case.
After sitting comfortably in the seat, Cassandra drove straight to the military residential compound.
When Lydia saw Cassandra, she burst into tears.
John’s doctor also came to see Nelson, but he couldn’t cure him. The pediatrician from the military hospital came over and prescribed a lot of medicine for Nelson, but none worked.
“Ms. Yates… Lydia cried.
She felt more prone to crying after becoming a mother. Although she knew crying couldn’t solve the problem, she couldn’t stop herself from crying. She couldn’t bear to see Nelson in great pain.
“Lydia, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to Nelson,” Cassandra comforted Lydia. After all, she could take good care of Nelson only if she was emotionally stable.
Selena also looked anxious, tears welling up in her eyes. John also looked upset. His heart ached for his grandson who had been suffering a lot these days.
“Cassie, please check on Nelson. What’s wrong with him?” Selena said in a pleading tone, taking Cassandra’s hand.
“Don’t worry, Selena. I’m Nelson’s godmother and I won’t let anything happen to him. You guys need to calm down, so you can take good care of him,” Cassandra said in a comforting voice.
After that, she gently held Nelson’s hand and began to feel his pulse. She frowned.
“Nothing serious. He has gastroesophageal reflux disease. He’s too little. It’s not easy to feed him medicine. Plus, it probably won’t work well,” Cassandra said, breathing a sigh of relief. She was also scared to death because she

“What should we do now? He vomited every time he ate and cried occasionally,” Lydia asked, looking worried and
helpless.
“I’ll give him an acupuncture treatment. Don’t feed him too much, or it will cause stomach upset,” Cassandra replied.
Lydia was scared out of her wits after hearing what she said.
“Ah? Does he need an acupuncture treatment?!” she asked.
Cassandra smiled. “Don’t worry. It won’t hurt.”
She could understand Lydia didn’t want Nelson to suffer a little pain as a mother. However, he wouldn’t have been cured if he didn’t take an acupuncture treatment.
Besides, she was so good at needling. Nelson wouldn’t feel any pain at all.
“Please do it,” Lydia said. She didn’t want to see Nelson suffer anymore.
Cassandra laughed. “I need you to hold Nelson and expose his belly. Otherwise, I can’t needle him.”
Lydia lifted Nelson’s clothes to reveal his cute and soft belly with trembling fingers.
Cassandra took out a silver needle to disinfect it. Seeing such a long needle, Selena was worried and even Lydia
was scared.
Um…
However, Nelson didn’t feel anything after Cassandra inserted the needle. He even stared at Lydia, looking very
cute.
Lydia was a little scared when she saw Cassandra insert about eight needles through Nelson’s skin. She thought, “Didn’t she just say two of them was enough? Why eight ones!‘
“Is it enough?” Lydia asked.
Panicked, Lydia asked immediately. “Why is he still crying? Is there anything wrong?”
Nelson stopped crying as soon as he got fed. A few minutes later, he was full and fell asleep.
She thought “You’re finally okay. Don’t scare me like this next time, Nelson.’
She put Nelson in the crib and asked the babysitter to take care of him. Then she went downstairs to talk to
