The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 18: A Short Break

Zhou Nan first cleaned his hands carefully before lifting Hannah's hair.

Zhou Nan observed the wound on her forehead.

There were signs of redness and swelling around the wound, and Zhou Nan suspected that the wound had become infected.

"It's my fault. I forgot. I should have cleaned the wound for you at your house."

Zhou Nan patted his head. He really didn't take good care of Hannah in this matter.

Hannah washed the blood off her face.

In addition, the long hair fell naturally, just covering the hideous wound.

Not only that, Hannah herself acted as if nothing had happened and was completely calm.

It seemed as if the car accident she had experienced was just a trivial episode to her.

Hannah didn't want to trouble Zhou Nan too much, so she simply kept silent.

With her disguise like this, it was easy for people to overlook that she was injured.

Hannah just shook her head gently and smiled comfortingly.

"Even I don't really care about it, so you don't have to feel guilty about it."

Zhou Nan ignored Hannah.

Zhou Nan then opened the medicine cabinet, rummaged through it, and finally took out a bottle of medical alcohol with a concentration of 75%.

Zhou Nan held the bottle of alcohol and looked at Hannah innocently.

"I'm sorry, Hannah, but this is all I can find at the moment."

"You may have to endure some pain next."

However, facing the impending pain, Hannah just smiled faintly, with an indifferent expression on her face.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Nan took Hannah to the pool.

First, use cold water to carefully clean the stains and blood scabs around Hannah's wound to prepare for subsequent treatment.

Then, Zhou Nan picked up a cotton swab and dipped it in some alcohol from the alcohol bottle.

Then he slowly placed the cotton swab on the wound on Hannah's forehead.

Hannah didn't say a word during the whole process.

If it weren't for her clenched teeth, Zhou Nan almost thought she wasn't in pain!

After completing the alcohol disinfection step, Zhou Nan found a tube of mupirocin ointment from the medicine box.

This is what people often call Baiduobang.

This is an effective topical antibiotic medicine.

Zhou Nan squeezed out an appropriate amount of ointment, applied it evenly on Hannah's wound, and gave instructions.

"Remember, apply it three times a day until the wound is completely healed and returns to normal."

Finally, Hannah thanked Zhou Nan with gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Zhou Nan."

Zhou Nan smiled brightly, waved his hand and responded, "It's okay, you can rest first, I won't disturb you for now!"

After giving Hannah the medicine, Zhou Nan left Hannah's room.

When Hannah saw the door was closed, she lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.

Hannah recalled Zhou Nan's considerate look when he applied medicine to her just now. This was something she had never felt from anyone else.

For a moment she was a little touched, as no one had ever treated her like this before.

Hannah lay on the bed, clamped her thighs together, and fidgeted for a while before she fell into a deep sleep.

In the living room outside, Jimmy and Billy were playing with a Rubik's Cube, and Max was running around with a stick in his mouth.

When they saw Zhou Nan coming out, the two children greeted him obediently.

We didn’t have lunch until three in the afternoon, and the two children were starving.

So the two children ate up half of the cream cake they brought back!

Seeing that Zhou Nan noticed the half piece of cake, Billy looked a little unnatural, because he was the one who ate the most!

Jimmy was a smart person. She quickly stood up, hugged Zhou Nan's arm, and showed a pitiful look.

"Brother Zhou Nan, you won't tell my mother about this, right?"

"She never lets us eat too much cake. If she knew, she would definitely teach me a lesson!"

Zhou Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted Jimmy's head: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped, I won't tell Hannah!"

When Jimmy heard the news, he didn't look happy, but looked sad instead.

"But my mother will find this half cake sooner or later, and then I will definitely be scolded!"

"But there is a way to solve it!"

Zhou Nan looked at the smart little Jimmy and showed curiosity.

"So, what's the solution?"

Jimmy's eyes flashed with cunning, "If you admit for both of us that you ate it yourself, we won't be scolded!"

Zhou Nan sneered, and Jimmy's abacus beads bounced onto Zhou Nan's face.

"No, I can't help you hide this!" Zhou Nan refused mercilessly.

Jimmy made a pitiful expression again, but this time she was really panicking!

Zhou Nan thought about it and said to Jimmy again.

"I can help you keep it secret, but in exchange, you have to go to the second floor and help me keep an eye on the situation in the hospital!"

Jimmy quickly nodded and agreed, "No problem, I can help you keep watch!"

When Zhou Nan saw Jimmy agreed, he also smiled. He could finally lie on the sofa and rest for a while!

Now that the transaction is completed, Zhou Nan is ready to resolve the matter.

"Max, come here quickly, there's good news!" Zhou Nan said to Max who was playing.

Max dropped the stick and ran over, wagging his tail.

"Good boy, Max!"

Zhou Nan first affirmed Max's obedience.

"Max, I'm giving you two choices!"

"The first option is..."

As Zhou Nan spoke, he took out the cake and placed it in front of Max.

"You can have half of this delicious cake for your dinner."

"Then you'll take the blame for Billy and Jimmy and get lectured by Hannah."

"I think you know what I mean."

Max thought seriously after listening to Zhou Nan's words.

Although it coveted the cake, it was not stupid and did not want to make Hannah angry.

So Max took a step back and rejected Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "Max, don't rush to make a decision, because I haven't mentioned the second option yet."

Max tilted his head and looked at Zhou Nan, as if listening to Zhou Nan's second option.

"The second option is that I eat this piece of cake, and then you will still be punished by Hannah. You choose."

Max seemed to have a brain freeze and just stared at Zhou Nan.

I don't know how long it took, but it dragged the cake away reluctantly.

It chose to take the blame for Jimmy and Billy, at least half of the cake could go into its stomach.

Jimmy and Billy looked at Zhou Nan with admiration.

Such a complicated problem was solved easily by Zhou Nan?

This shocked the inexperienced Jimmy and Billy.

"Okay, I have to go solve my hunger problem."

"And, Jimmy, don't forget the agreement!"

Jimmy nodded seriously, then ran to the second floor and observed the situation in the hospital through the window.

Zhou Nan felt a little hungry and walked towards the JanSport backpack he had left in the rental house that morning.

Zhou Nan originally wanted to just eat something casually to get by.

But he suddenly remembered that there was another "injured person" Hannah sleeping in the room.

"Forget it, let's prepare some nutritious food for her."

Zhou Nan first cooked the rice, and then opened the refrigerator, which was full of vegetables they had collected.

He took out three tomatoes and three eggs, intending to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which every Dragon person can make.

Thinking that Billy and Jimmy might make a fuss about eating, Zhou Nan made another dish of scrambled eggs with onions.

There's no way around it. American people believe that foods like spinach, tomatoes, onions, alfalfa sprouts, and beetroots are the healthiest.

So a lot of onions and tomatoes were collected.

Most Americans are descended from European immigrants who brought their own eating habits and cooking styles, which did not include rice.

In addition, American food culture has also been influenced by other cultures, such as Mexico, Italy, and Greece.

Foods from these cultures became favorites of Americans, and rice did not dominate in these cultures, resulting in low rice consumption.

Therefore, corn and wheat are mainstream foods, and corn is even indispensable in every meal!

Billy, who came over following the smell, was also full of curiosity. It was the first time he saw someone cooking rice like this.

Hannah relaxed for a while, then she lay lazily on the soft big bed in the house.

I originally planned to just take a short nap, and after waking up I would just find something to fill my stomach.

However, just as Hannah was immersed in her sleep, an alluring fragrance entered her nose.

The smell woke her up from her sleep.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Hannah walked out of the room with full of curiosity.

Then she saw Jimmy and Billy sitting around the dining table.

Zhou Nan came over with a bowl of steaming white rice.

When Zhou Nan looked up, his eyes met Hannah's.

"woke up?"

"That saves me from having to call you. Come over and have dinner."

Hannah couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed to let a grown man prepare food for her.

Hannah blushed slightly and said softly, "Thank you so much, Zhou Nan. I don't know how to express my gratitude..."

Although Hannah's family had never seen these novel foods before, the aroma made them salivate.

Maybe it's because I haven't eaten for a long time and I'm too hungry.

Or maybe it was because the food Zhou Nan cooked was just so delicious.

Hannah couldn't help but sigh after she finished eating.

"I promise, this is absolutely the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life!"

Hannah replied that she suddenly realized that her eating manners just now seemed a little unsightly.

I suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

Hannah then said that she would cook the food so that Zhou Nan could taste the food that Americans usually eat.

Moreover, Hannah promised to give Zhou Nan a surprise if she could be provided with steak.

Because she is a good griller.

Zhou Nan gladly accepted this.

After a late lunch, Jimmy and Billy took the opportunity to explain to Hannah that Max had "stole" the cake.

As expected, Max was taught a lesson by Hannah.

After being taught a lesson, it hung its head and went back to looking for its little stick.

The whole afternoon passed leisurely and nothing happened.

But, what is supposed to come will always come.

The military finally took action against the hospital!
