Chapter 627: Side Story 1. The Twilight Zone - 9
Zein was never the type who was eager for medical check-ups. Doctors and healers were crazy expensive in the red-zone, so unless it was a life-and-death situation, no one bothered to go.
As long as you were still breathing, just gritted your teeth and endured it--was the mindset of the red-zone’s resident.
That mindset was carried away even after he became a green-zone resident and had enough money to buy the entire red-zone. That was why Radia insisted he made the reservation right away because, at the very least, Zein wouldn’t shirk away from a ’promise’.
That day, however, Zein looked very eager. He was already waiting inside the car in the parking lot even before the appointed time, with a not-so-eager and very nervous Bassena on his side. They couldn’t just stroll inside the doctor’s room ahead of time, considering their fame, so they had to wait where people couldn’t see them.
It had been a while since they had to use the inconspicuous black car and went out in disguise. But it couldn’t be helped; even after almost a month, Operation Fallen Star was still being talked about. Naturally, the one who officially slain the Fallen Star, as well as the one who guided the fragment to erase the miasma and the Deathzone, was at the center of attention.
From heroic tales to romantic ones, all kinds of stories were available to the public, whether it was real or spun with fantasy. And so, the main characters of those tales had to stay hidden unless they wanted to be swarmed with excited people.
They could only shiver when they imagined how the public would react if they found out Zein had visited the ob-gyn.
Of course, they would have to devise a system where Zein could have his routine visit without alerting the public, but that was for later. It would be a hassle, but Zein didn’t mind.
Not this time.
House Mallarc’s doctor had told them that Zein was definitely pregnant, but for some reason, it didn’t feel real yet until Zein’s doctor--Doctor Nam--said it. Of course, after the whole chaos of the doctor freaking out that they had no choice but to tell her about Bassena’s blessing.
Afterward, the doctor went back to her usual calm demeanor and proceeded with the examination. It was Zein’s first time experiencing an ultrasound, and while he was rather excited, Bassena was flustered.
