Chapter 1774
When lan and Yasmin finally got off the bus, lan's clothes were drenched with sweat.
What happened just now was a symptom of lan’s autism.He feared being in a small space with many people.
Therefore, he became nervous, scared, and fell into a panic.
That was why he reacted the way he did.
Yasmin did not know about his condition but knew something was wrong as she looked at him.
"Please sit here for a while.I'll go and get you a bottle of water’ Yasmin said.
She looked at lan sitting there and felt that he looked like someone recently rescued from drowning.His face was frighteningly pale.
Therefore, she rushed to a convenience store behind the bus stop to get a bottle of water.
"That's two bucks" said the shopkeeper.
"Okay.By the way, do you have any medicine for motion sickness? If not, do you have something that could help someone feel better after motion sickness?" Yasmin asked.
She remembered how ill lan seemed as she was paying at the counter.
Thus, she asked the shopkeeper if he had something that could help lan.
Yasmin thought lan's sickly appearance was due to motion sickness.
Later, the shopkeeper sold her a pack of chewing gum.
Yasmin fell silent.She took the bottle of water and the pack of chewing gum and left the convenience store.
Then, she gave lan the bottle of water.
After he drank some water, she hesitated before offering him the pack of chewing gum.
As expected, lan looked at her with a confused expression.
Yasmin explained, "I got it for free while buying water..."
lan did not say anything.
How much could a bottle of water cost? I am aware of the cost of the bottle of water.
When I was studying at the base, Duncan would buy me a bottle of water when we went out.
If I'm not mistaken, it's a few bucks.
Why would they give a gift for something that costs so little? lan looked down.
It was hard to know whether he was doubting Yasmin's words or feeling sad after remembering a friend who had died a few years ago.
His gaze remained somber.
"I don't eat candies," lan replied.
Yasmin stared at lan but did not say anything.I think this is the first time he spoke to me this calmly.
However, he still sounds a little annoyed.It seems he has not fully recovered his mood.
Yasmin did not ask lan any more questions.She unwrapped a chewing gum and stuffed it into her mouth before putting the rest into her pocket.
"Let me send you back.I saw electric scooters for rent on my way here just now" Yasmin said.
