CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: DUMMY

Dai Zihan listened to Xiao Li’s words, her eyes slightly moved.

"You’re saying it’s not that he’s deliberately not picking up calls, it’s just inconvenient for him..."

Xiao Li said softly, "That’s possible! Didn’t you say that during the New Year, when you returned to S City, he called you...?

How could it be that just a few days later, he stopped picking up your calls?"

Dai Zihan’s eyes moved slightly, and her thoughts became active...

Yeah!

Previously, it was always Wen Zeyu who took the initiative to call me, how could he suddenly stop picking up my calls?

So, it’s just inconvenient for him.

But why would it be inconvenient for him to pick up?

Going down to the tomb, that’s very dangerous!

Is he in danger?

As she thought about it, Dai Zihan stopped being angry with Wen Zeyu and started worrying about his safety, "Xiao Lili, do you think Wen Zeyu might be in some trouble?

They go into tombs for archaeology, it’s very dangerous, just like in those tomb raiding TV shows, accidents happen often.

Why didn’t I think about this before?

Instead, I just blamed him, resented him.

Cell phone... my cell phone... Xiao Lili, I didn’t bring my phone in, can you help me get it?

I want to call Wen Zeyu..."

Xiao Li calmed Dai Zihan with a gesture, "Zhihan, calm down... I’ll get your phone.

Don’t overthink, he’ll be fine.

They’re doing legitimate archaeology, not tomb raiding, there are a lot of people ensuring their safety, don’t worry.

He might not have answered the phone simply because, like us, they can’t take it to work, and we can’t take phones into the quarantine zone either!

He probably can’t take the phone down for archaeology, so don’t worry too much.

I’ll go get your phone!"

Dai Zihan nodded, "Okay."

Xiao Li went to the border between the contaminated and semi-contaminated areas, wrote what she needed on cardboard, and waited for someone to pass the packaged phone through the window before taking it to Dai Zihan.

"Zhihan, I got your phone, you can try calling Wen Zeyu again, but don’t overthink, you need to keep a good mindset now, for the baby’s sake, okay?"

Upon hearing about the baby, Dai Zihan’s eyes shifted slightly.

Previously, she thought Wen Zeyu didn’t care for her, she even considered not keeping the baby, but she couldn’t bear to have it removed, so she thought about working shifts, staying busy, maybe it would go away on its own.

But now, she’s a bit scared, scared that she just got exposed, could she really be infected? Could the baby be harmed?

"Xiao Lili, do you think I might be infected?

Will anything happen to the baby?"

Xiao Li shook her head, "Whether you’re infected or not, I can’t say, you’ll need a test.

Zhihan, there are already a few reliable treatments, even if you are infected, we can treat it.

Don’t worry too much, we’re here for you!"

Dai Zihan nodded her head, "I understand, Xiao Lili, you don’t need to stay with me, go ahead and get busy!

By the way, you need to be careful too!

Especially with that patient!"

Because Chen Tingting had just been admitted, they had only resuscitated her for a bit, and Chen Tingting had suddenly pulled off a mask, Dai Zihan hadn’t even remembered Chen Tingting’s name.

Though Dai Zihan didn’t mention the name, Xiao Li knew who she was referring to and just chuckled lightly, "Don’t worry, I can handle her.

For what she did to you, I’ll make sure she faces consequences."

Dai Zihan nodded, "Mm."

Xiao Li left after finishing speaking, she still had work to do.

After Xiao Li left, Dai Zihan called Wen Zeyu again, but still couldn’t get through, though she was no longer as anxious as before.

At Yu Zhou City Hospital, Wen Zeyu paced anxiously in the ward, he had just used the hospital phone to call a colleague, asking him to bring his and his teacher’s phones to the hospital.

But it still hadn’t arrived, and he was growing restless waiting.

Professor Peng wasn’t as anxious as Wen Zeyu because he had just used the hospital phone to call home, knowing his family was safe, so he was at ease.

Wen Zeyu also wanted to use the hospital phone, but when it came to it, he realized he hadn’t memorized the phone numbers.

Both Xiao Li’s and Dai Zihan’s numbers weren’t saved in his memory.

The only number he actually remembered was the home phone, but he didn’t want to call there, thinking that as long as his brother is at home, everything will be okay. If the family were to find out he almost got buried during an archaeological excursion and is now at the hospital, there’d be hell to pay once he’s back home.

Because of this, he could only pace around anxiously in the ward.

In Wen Zeyu’s anxious waiting, the phones finally arrived.

But even though they were delivered, the phone was off, with no battery...

His colleague even forgot to bring a charger, prompting Wen Zeyu to rush to the nurse’s station to borrow a power bank...

As soon as the phone started charging, he hurriedly powered it on.

In the past, if his phone was charging, Wen Zeyu would never use it.

But now, the moment it started charging, he impatiently powered it on to make a call...

As soon as Wen Zeyu powered it on, numerous messages came flooding in, all notifying him of recent missed calls.

Wen Zeyu glanced over them, most of them were from Dai Zihan, with occasionally one or two from home...

Wen Zeyu first looked for Xiao Li’s number to call, but upon no answer, he then found Dai Zihan’s number and dialed out...

As soon as the call was made, it connected immediately.

"Zhihan, I saw the pandemic is serious at your hospital, are you okay?"

In the isolation room, as soon as Dai Zihan heard Wen Zeyu’s voice, tears flowed down her face, and she started crying instantly.

Upon hearing Dai Zihan cry, Wen Zeyu immediately started pacing around the ward again...

"Zhihan, don’t cry! What’s going on?"

After crying for a while, Dai Zihan started angrily shouting, "Wen Zeyu, you bastard, where have you been?

I called you so many times, and you never picked up, I couldn’t get through...

I’m in isolation, and I’m really scared, did you know that..."

Wen Zeyu quickly explained, "I was down in the tomb, didn’t have my phone with me, I didn’t know...

I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Please don’t cry!

I’m coming back now, don’t be afraid. Wait for me..."

Dai Zihan cried, "You’re not coming back, you can’t come back now!

B City is already on lockdown, no one can come in or out!

The pandemic is everywhere now, don’t go anywhere, just stay where you are!"

Wen Zeyu murmured, "But aren’t you scared? I want to come back to be with you!"

Dai Zihan scolded, "Idiot! Even if you came back, you wouldn’t be able to see me!

I’m in isolation, do you get it?"

Xiao Li had been busy nearby, and when it came time to serve food, she brought a meal over to Dai Zihan, but stopped at the door when she heard her on the phone. She knew who she was calling just from hearing her call him an idiot, so she didn’t go in...

In the isolation room, after scolding Wen Zeyu a couple of times, Dai Zihan gently touched her belly and said softly, "Wen Zeyu, I’m pregnant."
