Schizophrenia

Chapter 5 A Grieving Funeral

Since the Waynes left, Bruce has become particularly gloomy.Afu dismissed all the servants at Bruce's insistence, and the Wayne mansion became much empty in an instant.Sometimes when Ansang walked alone in the corridor, he could hear the echo of his own footsteps, which was so empty and scary.

As for Bruce, he still doesn't seem to be able to recover from the death of the Waynes.Ansang, who slept with Bruce every night, would be awakened by Bruce's exclamation after his nightmare.It's just that no matter how many times he was woken up by fright, no matter how late it was, every morning when Ansang woke up, he would find Bruce sitting by the window quietly looking at the garden.

After all, Ansang's body is still a child's, so sleeping more than ten hours a day is not too much.Because he didn't sleep well at night, Ansang seemed listless these days.Bruce also proposed to let Ansang move back to his room, but Ansang noticed the reluctance in Bruce's eyes.

When you are sad, you still hope that someone will accompany you.

After all, the Wayne couple is the head of the most powerful family in Gotham. Their departure was too abrupt, and many things were not handled well.Until later when Bruce became Batman, he still remembered that there was an unprecedented stream of guests visiting them in those days.Whether it was true or false, it somehow added a bit of vitality to the dead Wayne house.

Thomas Wayne seemed to have a premonition about his departure, and the will made it very clear.The shares held by the Wayne couple will be guarded by the guardian, Mr. Alfred Pennyworth, the housekeeper of the Wayne family, until the two children come of age.

Ansang found that when Bruce heard the will, when he heard that his adult guardian was Afu, he was obviously relieved.Bruce's mother, Martha Wayne, was named Kane before she married.The Kane family is also a big family in Gotham City, but they are not as prominent as Wayne's in terms of status or status.

Ansang didn't know what differences Martha had with his mother clan, but what he knew was that since he came to Wayne's house, he had never seen those two grandparents in name.The current head of the Kane family is Martha's biological parents, Roderick Kane and Becky Kane.

On the day of the Waynes funeral, the weather was a little gloomy.Gotham City was raining lightly as usual.Those upper-class people stood in front of the tombstone of the Wayne couple, wearing black coats, making sad expressions either true or false, but they looked like a group of statues.

Ansang took Bruce's hand, felt Bruce squeeze his hand hard, and looked up at Bruce with a sad face.Bruce grew up overnight after the Waynes left.At this time, Bruce raised his chest and raised his head, accepting the comfort from the visitor with a mature attitude he had never seen before.

Besides Bruce, Ansang was also the focus of this group of people's care.After all, Wayne's only two orphans are both young and inexperienced. In the eyes of these people, Wayne Enterprises is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.If the Wayne couple hadn't locked up all the shares in their hands, their expressions could have been more enthusiastic.

It's just that even if you don't get the shares, it's good to leave a good impression on these two children.After all, children are very happy when they are coaxed.

Bruce looked at those nobles who used to call their parents brothers and sisters, stepped forward to hug him, and then said that he could come to him if he needed anything.Then he looked at the somewhat ignorant younger brother who was led by him with a sizing look, and said in a disdainful tone: "This is Jacob, please forgive me!" Such words.

Don't these people think they can't see it, that 'this kid is really lucky' look!Why do they think of Jack like that, Jack is his younger brother!My parents regard Jack as their own son, even if it is shares, there is no difference between him and Jack, half of one person, why should they...

"Bruce?" Feeling the sudden increase in grip strength in his hand, Ansang looked up at Bruce strangely.

"It's nothing!" Bruce looked at his brother's blue eyes, and his heart softened.Perhaps Jack is indeed his brother, but what does that matter!He's seen Jack talk, walk and learn to run, he's read Jack bedtime stories, he's fed him, and he's no different from his own brother.

"If you don't want to stay..." Ansang suggested, looking at Bruce with a sad expression.

"No need!" Bruce shook his head, raised his head again and couldn't see the weakness just now, "I want to see Mom and Dad for the last time! If Jack is tired..."

"I'm with Bruce!" Ansang grabbed Bruce's hand, turned to look at the tombstone of the Wayne couple, and quietly watched the people who came to the funeral come forward to mourn.From the beginning to the end, he didn't give half of his eyes to those who talked to Bruce, he just brought an autistic child to the extreme.

When the people gradually dispersed, a middle-aged couple walked up to them.Ansang heard Bruce shout politely: "Grandpa, grandma!" before turning his gaze back.The two people who came here were what Ansang saw for the first time, and they should be Martha's biological parents.

"Oh~ my poor little Bruce!" Mrs. Kane stepped forward and hugged Bruce. Ansang watched Bruce struggle a bit, but he still couldn't get out of Mrs. Kane's embrace. Young, still a child! One must accept the death of one's parents! And my poor Martha..."

Ansang looked at Mr. Kane's expressionless face, and saw Mrs. Kane whimpering and twitching.Ansang noticed that these two people didn't pay attention to him from the beginning to the end. He didn't know if it was because they disliked his bloodline, or there were other reasons.

After shedding a few tears, Mrs. Kane took the silk scarf handed over by her husband and wiped her tears: "Little Bruce, although your mother has been away from us for many years, we are blood relatives after all! Maybe you would like to move Come here and live with us?" As he said, he glanced at Alfred who was standing behind Bruce.

Ansang noticed that Bruce was holding his hand a little tighter, and before Bruce could speak, he grinned and cried: "Wow..."

"Oh, Jack!" Bruce panicked instantly, and he didn't care about being polite, he quickly squatted down and hugged Ansang tightly into his arms, "Don't worry, I won't leave you!"

"But they don't want me!" Ansang's tone was a little offended, even bringing the child to stammer in panic.

"Brother wants Jack! My brother will always be with Jack!" Bruce panicked when he saw his younger brother crying for the first time, "Didn't Mom and Dad say that we were supervised by Afu before we became adults! Jack, don't cry! Brother Not going anywhere, never leaving Jack!"

"You said it!" Ansang buried his head in Bruce's arms, his eyes opened calmly, "But Mrs. Kane said, Mrs. Kane said that you are going to live with her!"

"I won't!" Bruce himself didn't want to live with these two grandparents who didn't deal with many things, so in order to comfort his good brother, he promised without thinking.

"Bruce, I will never abandon Jack!" Bruce looked at his parents' coffin and solemnly promised.
