Chapter 274

Luna White's dormitory was a modest one-bedroom apartment, and with six people crammed inside, it felt uncomfortably tight. Only then did she realize she hadn't thought things through—sleeping on the floor in this weather would be far too cold.

"What should we do..." Luna bit her lip anxiously. There was only one bed, and having both men and women share the space was hardly appropriate.

Andrew Smith glanced around and suggested, "How about your brother-in-law and the three kids come with me? A friend of mine has an empty place—three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. It's just a bit far from the hospital."

Luna's sister, Luna Whitaker, brightened. "That's perfect!" She turned to her husband. "You can stay with Andrew for tonight, and tomorrow we'll go check out the place."

Luna White also sighed in relief. "Brother-in-law, sorry for the inconvenience."

Ryan Wallace gave a good-natured smile. "It's fine. If it comes down to it, we can always sleep on the floor in the living room." The three children nodded obediently.

But then Luna Whitaker hesitated. "Actually... maybe we shouldn't. It's just one night..." She couldn't bear to be apart from her children.

Luna White understood her sister's feelings. "Then how about this—I'll borrow some extra bedding. If we layer it thick enough, it shouldn't be too cold."

Andrew checked his watch. "It's 5:30 now. You all go ahead to the cafeteria for dinner. I'll go get the bedding." With that, he hurried out.

Luna led everyone in tidying up their belongings. When Luna Whitaker saw the refrigerator, she sneezed in surprise. "Why is this cabinet so cold?"

"That's a fridge—it keeps food fresh." Luna patiently explained how each appliance worked, leaving the family marveling at everything.

As they prepared to leave for the cafeteria, Luna Whitaker hesitated again. "Maybe we should just heat up some steamed buns at home?"

"Sis, the cafeteria uses meal tickets, and I have plenty left this month," Luna said with a laugh, gently nudging her toward the door. "If we don't go now, the cooks will be off duty."

Ryan watched as Luna effortlessly locked the door with a simple turn, once again amazed at how everything in the city was so novel. The three children, meanwhile, eagerly looked around, their eyes wide with curiosity at this unfamiliar urban world.
