"Is he done?" Julianna muttered, tightly closing her eyes. Despite clinging to Drake like a koala, she could not shake the feeling that she would be examined.
"Yes, it is finished," Drake said in a whisper, hiding the grin on his face, as he observed Julianna raise her head in amazement.
Taking her blood sample Caspian left the room, leaving the couple all by themselves.
"Already?" Julianna inquired while pointing to the area of her hand where Caspian had inserted the needle, but there was no pain.
"Caspian is skilled enough to let his patient hurt," Drake said, softly petting Julianna's head.
Still at a loss for words, Julianna pouted and shifted into his lap. "I thought I was going to cry, but it didn't hurt," she muttered, hugging him back.
"I never expected you to be afraid of needles," inquired Drake with a smile. "You readily consented to the examination," he added.
