Chapter 310: I Have Secondhand Smoke
"Let's see if she's pregnant first. There's a shadow in the uterus, but it's hard to say what it is." The elderly doctor looks up and blocks An Ran's question. She hasn’t seen the final result yet, so she can’t give An Ran any guarantees.
This is called being thorough.
After all, the transabdominal B-ultrasound machine in this clinic is a medical product that has already been eliminated by major hospitals twenty years before the end of the world. The ultrasound results it produces are very unclear. Is the shadow in Little Mint's uterus a child or a cyst?
It can’t be confirmed!!!
An Ran nods, carries the increasingly restless baby out of the door, hurries downstairs, looks around, and sees people everywhere with no corner for her to breastfeed. She frowns, walks out the back door, and comes to Zhan Lian's car.
At this time, Zhan Lian has already gotten out of the car, closed the door, and is about to lean against it to smoke. He is afraid that smoking inside the car will expose Doll to secondhand smoke.
But seeing An Ran running out with Doll in her arms startles him. He tenses up, steps forward, and asks, "What happened?"
"She's hungry."
An Ran holds Doll, who is obviously impatient and about to burst into tears. She opens the back car door and sees that several bags of supplies have been placed behind the driver's seat at some point. They are all baby supplies. She has no idea where Zhan Lian has gotten them from.
There’s no time to think. She closes the door, goes around to the other side, and gets into the car.
After getting in and lifting her clothes, An Ran notices Zhan Lian is still standing by the car window. She quickly lowers her clothes, opens the door slightly, and says to Zhan Lian outside: "What are you looking at? Turn around."
"What am I looking at? I can't see anything anyway."
Zhan Lian shrugs and turns around obediently, leaning against the closed car door. He takes out a cigarette and lights it, sneering a little in his heart at An Ran’s unnecessary panic. The car windows are tinted; it’s hard to see inside from the outside. Besides, he’s wearing sunglasses. What could he possibly see clearly?
After a while, Zhan Lian finishes his cigarette and waits nearly ten minutes. He estimates Doll has finished feeding, so he turns around. Just as he’s about to ask if Doll is full, An Ran opens the car door, reaches in, takes Doll, holds her upright, pats her back, and paces back and forth.
Zhan Lian leans against the back of the car, hands in his pockets, and says, "How about you go inside and handle things, and I'll hold Zhan Anxin?"
An Ran, who is holding Doll and burping her, lowers her eyes and says nothing.
She hears Zhan Lian clearly, but can she trust him?
Of course, if Zhan Lian wants to snatch Doll from her, she won’t be able to resist.
An Ran stays silent.
Zhan Lian laughs at himself. He doesn’t force her, only finds a way out of the awkwardness.
"I have secondhand smoke on me, so I won’t hold her."
His heart bleeds a little because An Ran doesn’t trust him.
An Ran is also embarrassed. To be honest, she isn’t as familiar with Zhan Lian as she is with Yun Tao and Little Mint. Although Zhan Lian is Doll's biological father, even Chen Jiao can abandon her own son among a pile of zombies. How can An Ran guarantee that Zhan Lian won’t mistreat Doll?
Watching Zhan Lian turn his back to her, leaning against the car and lighting another cigarette, An Ran sees the strength in his figure, but also a hint of loneliness. Her heart aches just a little.
