Chapter 197 Police Car
:
Amelia’s heart ached, but she could still be firm with Nina when needed.
She disinfected Nina’s wounds thoroughly, then bandaged them up.
Nina’s eyes filled with tears from the stinging.

Amelia kissed her gently and coaxed, “Nina, no more crying. Mommy’s all done bandaging.
“Shall we go home now?
“Once we’re home, Mommy will buy you toys. You can pick them yourself.”
Nina had been scared and suffered today-Amelia wanted to spoil her a little.
“Mommy… Want fire truck,” Nina sobbed.
Amelia replied, “Okay, okay, Mommy will buy it. I’ll get you two fire trucks. We can pick the colors when we get home.”
As she spoke, Amelia tried to lift Nina down.
But Nina grabbed the steering wheel and wouldn’t budge.
“Mommy… buy this! Buy this big fire truck.”
Nina’s chubby little hands gripped the wheel tightly. She wanted Amelia to buy this huge one.
Amelia said, “Nina, we can’t buy this one.”
Nina insisted, “Want!”
Amelia continued, “Nina, the fire truck belongs to the firefighters. We can’t buy it. How about we go home and buy toys on the phone?”
“No.” Nina rejected crisp and clear.
Amelia tried to pry her hands off, but after just a couple of pulls, Nina’s mouth twisted into a pout and she let out a wail.
Amelia took a deep breath, feeling her blood pressure rise.
“Nina, Mommy will let you watch TV. Come on. Let’s go watch TV”
Amelia tempted her with Nina’s favorite cartoon, but Nina had gotten smarter.

She demanded to watch the cartoon while sitting in the fire truck.
Amelia muttered, “You’re dreaming too big.”
Seeing Nina dig in her heels and knowing it wouldn’t be quick to coax her, Amelia stopped wasting time.
She firmly pried open Nina’s chubby hands and lifted her off the fire truck by force.
Nina wailed loudly once carried down.
She arched her little body backward in Amelia’s arms, throwing a full tantrum.
Amelia almost couldn’t hold on.
At the critical moment, Benjamin took over and held Nina.
“Nina, no crying. Want to ride in a police car?”
Benjamin’s words cut through her tears instantly.
Nina looked at him with teary eyes. After realizing she couldn’t stay in the fire truck, she wiped her tears and settled for the next best thing.
“Ride police car.” Nina said in a sniffly voice, “Nina ride police car.”
Benjamin said, “Sure.”
They could indeed head back in a police car right now.
Soon enough, Nina-who didn’t get her fire truck-climbed into the police car.
Nina wanted to buy the police car too.
Amelia shot that idea down right away. “No way. Police cars can’t be bought. Otherwise, police officers will arrest you. Do you want them to take you away?”
Nina sniffled and shook her little head. “No take me.”
Nina was a bit afraid of the police after all.
Thanks to that fear, Amelia successfully nixed the idea of buying the police car.
The group was escorted by a police car. The two adults went to the station to handle the follow-
up matters.

Amelia set her down on the floor and said, “Nelson got hurt protecting you. Nina, you need to say thank you to him.”
Amelia taught Nina to thank Nelson.
Nina looked at his wound. Instead of thanking him, she opened her mouth and cried.
She cried while lunging toward Nelson.
Amelia caught her just in time.
“Nina, careful-don’t bump Nelson’s wound. He can’t hug you right now.”
Amelia soothed her, but Nina still wanted a hug from Nelson.
