On the way back to District 36, Amanda and George talked about several things.
"Is there a road to District 36 that can be traveled? The bus driver said it's closed because of the heavy snow," Amanda asked.
"There is an alternative route that can only be used by cars. The bus won't be able to enter that lane."
George then asked about Amanda's interest in going to the city center when it was snowing.
At first he thought she was going there to buy heaters, as they were rare where she lived.
"I just went to the hospital to check my pregnancy. Because the first time I did it was at the hospital in the city center. Every subsequent checkup, I have to go back there..." Amanda explained.
"I see. So how did the checkup go? Everything okay?" asked George.
Amanda nodded. "Yes, everything is fine. The doctor even told me the sex of my son, he's a boy."
