After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: City J’s Specialty

Ever since Nina Jacobs left, on top of killing zombies, he had started running 100 laps around the base with weights every day.

He had just gotten back from his run.

"What’s wrong, Leo?"

Another woman, drenched in sweat, appeared behind him.

She was also carrying a burlap sack, though she was a bit on the smaller side.

"Nina?!

You’re back?!"

Sherry Renner dropped her small burlap sack and ran straight for Nina Jacobs.

But she was unceremoniously blocked by Wayne Warner.

"Alright, you two go take a shower first.

I brought back some souvenirs for you."

Nina Jacobs said with a laugh.

"Let’s get inside first. We can talk once we’re in."

Daniel Hale already sensed that someone was home.

Vera Coleman was taking her usual stroll around the room, listening to music.

When she saw the group push the door open and enter, she froze on the spot.

"I brought Nina back.

So? Didn’t I tell you I’d do it?"

Daniel Hale boasted.

He’d expected a loving hug and some praise from Vera Coleman.

But Vera Coleman didn’t even spare him a glance, walking straight to Nina Jacobs.

"You’ve gotten thinner."

Vera Coleman said.

"Wayne Warner is thinner too. Did you two have a hard time out there?"

As Vera Coleman pulled her toward the sofa, Nina Jacobs felt a prickle in her nose at her words.

"We didn’t."

Nina Jacobs replied.

It was as if the hardness in her heart had been smoothed away.

Her underlying anxiety and restlessness gradually faded, and Nina Jacobs felt like her old self again.

The stubborn person she used to be.

’Thinking back,’ she mused, ’Vera always seemed to accept me for who I am.’

"And you say you didn’t.

How could you possibly eat and rest well out there?

I actually got word a few days ago that you were coming."

Vera Coleman started to get up as she spoke, and Nina Jacobs noticed that her belly had gotten even bigger, making her movements a little less nimble.

"Let me."

Seeing Vera Coleman about to get things to start cooking, Nina Jacobs quickly intervened.

"I’ve been sitting in a car all day.

Let me stretch my legs. You go and talk with Nina."

Daniel Hale simply pushed the two of them aside.

Helpless, Nina Jacobs had no choice but to give in.

"It’s so good to see you’re okay, Wayne.

Here, have some of these."

Vera Coleman took out a tray of dried fruits and nuts she had prepared earlier and placed it in front of Wayne Warner.

"Thank you."

Wayne Warner’s eyes glinted as he grabbed a handful of peanuts, crushing the shells in his palm.

"Mom, how much longer?"

Nina Jacobs was referring to Vera Coleman’s belly.

"The doctor said I might need surgery in a little over a month.

Given my condition, they’re all recommending a C-section."

"It’s gone by so fast. It’s already been over seven months,"

Vera Coleman said with a sigh.

’A little over a month?’

’Looks like they’ll be born here in the City D Base.’

"Are the babies healthy?"

Nina Jacobs gently touched Vera Coleman’s belly.

The thought of the two little lives in there made Nina Jacobs feel a mix of strangeness and curiosity.

"They’re perfectly healthy.

Myra Lawson has even come to visit me a few times. She offered to find me a nanny,

but I turned her down."

"A nanny?"

"Yes. Sherry is with me every day, helping out.

Leo is here too, so I didn’t think it was necessary."

Vera Coleman explained.

Nina Jacobs nodded.

’She, however, thought it was quite necessary. The babies would need someone to look after them once they were born.’

She made a mental note of it.

After dinner, Leo Hale curiously asked about the "souvenirs."
