It was South City, on the other hand, that made Jane feel at home.
Jane thought of Aino, who ran in circles with her short legs, gifted her a monstrous doll, and wished for Jane to quickly give birth to a little baby. She thought of Sabrina who had not had much interaction with Jane but had always been thinking of helping her at every turn. Also, she thought of the way Ruth acted yesterday. That firecracker-like shrewish manner that had a tinge of innocent personality was very comical, and that comedic young lady was sitting next to Jane at that moment. Jane had a rare joyful smile on her face.
Seeing Jane so happy, Ryan could not help but ask," Aunt Jane, you’re already about six months pregnant. Have you checked if it was a boy or a girl?"
Jane shook her head. "I haven't checked."
"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Ryan asked again. He was trying to make conversation.
Jane replied without any hesitation, "A boy."
Ryan thought what Jane meant was that it would be much easier for the Poole family to accept if her child was a boy, so he said, "Aunt Jane, it’s fine. The Poole family doesn't favor any particular gender. I, on the other hand, want my little cousin to be a girl, haha.”
Jane looked into the distance with a spaced-out gaze." I just don't want to have a girl. What if she has the same fate as I did, how miserable would she be?"
Ryan was speechless. At that moment, Alex, who had gone to take some water, walked over. He handed the warm water to Jane, and then wrapped his arm around her. "The nightmares are over. Everything will be better.”
Jane nodded gently. "Mm-hmm."
The duration of the flight was three hours, and they arrived in South City at one o'clock in the afternoon. A s soon as they walked out of the arrival hall of the airport, Jane saw Sabrina, whom she had not met for five months.
"Jane! Jane!” Sabrina was tipping on her toes and waving at Jane with all her might.
