The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 727

Could Alexa have accidentally pricked Lanny's hand?

Catherine could tell Alexa was hiding something. Having spent so much time together, she knew Alexa was wholeheartedly devoted to Lanny.

If it really was an accident, she wouldn't hold it against her.

Before she could say anything, the staff member spoke up casually. "If it really was an accident, you need to be more careful. Babies have such delicate skin. It's a good thing it was just his finger; it would have hurt so much more anywhere else!"

Alexa offered a sheepish smile, looking both awkward and guilty.

"But based on my years of experience in infant care, the location and depth of this prick look exactly like a hospital blood-draw needle."

The staff member added a gentle reminder, "Think about it. Even if he wasn't sick, did he have any medical tests done?"

Hearing the woman's certainty, Catherine completely dismissed the idea that Alexa had accidentally pricked him.

Before Catherine could speak, Alexa interjected again, "No! What kind of tests would a baby this small have? It was a few days ago... Susan was checking her blood sugar and accidentally pricked Lanny with the lancet!"

She looked at Catherine nervously. "Susan wanted to tell you herself, but she had to leave suddenly and didn't get the chance. I thought it wasn't a big deal since Lanny was fine, so I didn't want to speak out of turn. Who knew—"

"What?"

It sounded absurd. Catherine couldn't process it for a moment.

Alexa rushed to explain. "Please don't be mad. Susan didn't mean to do it, and I know I was wrong for not telling you..."

While she rambled, the staff member finished Lanny's check-up and placed a waterproof bandage over his finger.

"Ms. White, we'll take the little guy inside now."

Catherine nodded, signaling the staff member to go ahead.

Alexa stopped explaining. She didn't know if Catherine bought her story.

It was such a massive incident, and it was her first time lying. Her heart was pounding in her throat.

If Catherine didn't believe her and pressed for details, she wouldn't be able to cover it up; the whole truth would spill out.

"Let's go inside first."
