The next morning, Chu Xiu called a taxi early and arrived twenty minutes ahead of schedule to pick Lin Yan up.
As soon as Lin Yan got in the car, she heard Bao crying. Neither holding him nor scolding him worked; the little guy was crying intensely, his small fists clenched tightly.
Chu Xiu said with a headache, "He doesn't like riding in cars. He always fusses whenever we're in one. Yesterday, Bao's grandma suggested I take him to the hospital to see if something had scared him before that might be causing this."
Lin Yan guessed, "Maybe, we'll see what the doctor has to say once we get there. If it turns out to be a false alarm, we'll just need to be more cautious in the future."
Chu Xiu was still very anxious, fearing that the results wouldn't be as she hoped.
Lu Chenyuan knocked on the car window and, seeing Bao inside, conscientiously flicked his cigarette away to keep the child from inhaling secondhand smoke.
