Chapter 1150
"His situation is rather unique; he's withdrawn and has been through a lot. I was thinking that since you're a doctor and have a sensitive nature, you might be able to guide him well. So, I'd like to entrust him to your care for a while. What do you think?"
Zhou Shuwan looked at Xiao Sheng.
The boy kept his head down, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
She could tell at first glance that the child's psychological problems were far more serious than she had imagined.
She couldn't feel at ease leaving such a gloomy and potentially dangerous child with his family.
Moreover, she has the biggest secret of her spatial dimension, which she usually guards with utmost care. Now that she has a strange and unpredictable child by her side, the consequences would be unimaginable if her spatial dimension were ever exposed.
She hesitated for a moment, neither agreeing directly nor refusing outright, but said tactfully, "Captain, I can't give you an answer right away. I need to go back and discuss it with my family before I can give you an answer, is that alright?"
Captain Chen knew his request was somewhat abrupt, and Zhou Shuwan had her own family to take care of, so her hesitation was normal.
He nodded, his tone gentle: "Of course. Go back and talk to your family. Don't feel pressured. Whatever the outcome of your discussion, I understand."
Zhou Shuwan nodded, turned and left the office.
When they returned to their lodgings, Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia were still there.
Captain Chen had sent someone to summon Zhou Shuwan earlier, and they hadn't left yet, wanting to see what was going on.
"Wanwan, what does Captain Chen want with you?" Zhong Tiyun asked first.
This is nothing to hide.
Zhou Shuwan then explained Captain Chen's thoughts and Xiao Sheng's situation in detail, her face full of difficulty: "That child's situation is too special. If he stays with us, I'm afraid that in the future..."
She glanced at her family, and they all understood the unspoken meaning in her words.
Yes, they have their own secrets to keep, and absolutely no outsiders can move in.
“Then Mom will go and cancel it. Wanwan, you don’t need to worry about this.” Zhong Tiyun said, “You young people have some things you can’t say out loud. I’ll just take advantage of my age and go to Captain Chen to explain the difficulties. He’s a reasonable person, so I’m sure he won’t blame us…”
Zhou Jianghai frowned, opening his mouth as if to speak, but Zhang Jia, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Why don't A-Zheng and I take care of him first!"
Upon hearing this, not only was Zhou Shuwan stunned, but Tao Zheng and the rest of the Zhou family also looked at her with surprise.
Zhang Jia smiled, her eyes filled with a gentle yet firm look, and explained, "To be honest, when I first met that child named Xiao Sheng, I was quite moved."
He was just a lost child in the apocalypse, who had never been treated well.
Captain Chen doesn't know what to do with him right now, so Ah Zheng and I will take care of him for a few days and try to communicate with him slowly. We'll discuss the rest later.
Tao Zheng looked at Zhang Jia.
Ever since Zhang Jia's miscarriage, she has been depressed. Although she seems to have recovered on the surface, he knows that she still feels empty inside and longs for a child.
The reason he is now offering to take care of Xiao Sheng is probably because of this deep-seated desire.
He remained silent for a moment, but seeing Zhang Jia's determined eyes, he slowly nodded.
Since he didn't object, then Captain Chen had even less reason to object.
Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia are also an outstanding young couple in the fleet.
Captain Chen also admired Tao Zheng, so he readily agreed.
Of course, he also promised that this was just a transition and that he would have the fleet supply the Tao family with relief food so that two people could not raise a half-grown boy for nothing.
Meanwhile, there has been no news about the outcome of the case involving He Chengshi and the other two, as if the matter had sunk without a trace.
