"Dr. Weiss, the lady in Ward 315 is awake, but she hasn't named anyone who can be reached."

As soon as the nurse walked out of the ward, she saw Kroline's attending doctor. Dr. Weiss paused and asked, "Did she tell me how she was injured? Did she say whether she should call the police?"

"She said she was injured by a falling object. It was an accident." The nurse thought about Caroline's slightly different accent, and wondered if she should mention it to the doctor.

"Well, then give her the payment slip. Let her be discharged from the hospital when her condition is stable, and the seat will be vacated as soon as possible." Dr. Weiss didn't care about a woman who had an accident. It is now a time of war, and soldiers are sent every day It was enough to give him a headache.

Kroline, who was lying on the bed, didn't know whether her attending doctor had a headache or not. Anyway, she had a headache so badly that she wanted to pass out. It wasn't the trauma, but the current situation that gave her a headache.She wanted to raise her hand to tap her head, but when she raised her hand, she found that her hand was also quite painful.

After hearing the bad news in the United States yesterday, Caroline managed not to pass out, only saying that she was still a little confused and couldn't answer any questions.Today, after waking up, I barely made up a lie about being injured by a falling object to deceive the nurse. The wound on her body looked terrible, but it was just a little bit more blood flow.

Caroline, who passed the selection of the ace agent with excellent results, almost didn't look at the sky in tears. She hasn't been in such a mess for a long time.Leaving aside her own injuries, let’s talk about her current situation, which can only be described as despair. She is not even in the UK. Even the UK in 43 is better than the US, at least it is her hometown.

Caroline gave up observing the hospital in 1943, and she focused on all her assets on the table. The black widow's costume was already close-fitting, and she couldn't hold anything at all.What's more, Crowline went to the cosplay exhibition with a mission, almost all of which are necessary for agents produced by Kingsman.

But when these things were put in the United States in 1943, let alone exchanged for money, I am afraid that even the function cannot be known to others. If she is thought to be a spy from another country, she will really not be able to survive.

"Hi, are you okay?" Steve was holding a bag in his hand. He followed Crowline's line of sight to glance at the things on the table, and then politely withdrew his attention.

Caroline put away her thousands of thoughts, no matter how difficult it was, she always had to deal with the matter in front of her.

"Yes, my injury has been treated, and the nurse said that I can be discharged from the hospital." A smile appeared on Caroline's face, and the smile was more sincere to Steve.Caroline thanked him again, "Thank you very much for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might have been unconscious there, Mr. Rogers."

Steve was not good at dealing with girls. When the national youth was busy enlisting in the army, he was rejected for various reasons, and at the same time, these reasons always made him rejected by girls.

He lifted the bag on the handle and said shyly: "I found a set of old clothes, which belonged to my mother, you can change them first. If you mind..."

"Of course not. It's too late for me to be grateful."

Crowline's attitude made Steve relax, his shoulders visibly freed from tension, and he handed the bag to Crowline before heading out on his own.

Women's clothing in the 40s did not have so many gorgeous colors because the colors of the war were relatively simple.Steve's mother's dress was a brown dress, which was very ordinary and without any extra decorations. Caroline looked at herself in the mirror with some novelty.

Caroline combed her short hair that was messed up by changing clothes twice with her hands, and her hair was also curled into the same style to be closer to the Black Widow.This hairstyle is obviously not popular now, but it is not obtrusive.

Taking a last look at herself in the mirror, Caroline curled up her hands, and finally walked out of the ward.Sure enough, Steve was still waiting for her outside. He was obviously taken aback when he saw Caroline come out, and then grabbed his jacket nervously.

"Very beautiful, Miss Winter."

Caroline saw his embarrassment. She really didn't expect the famous Captain America to be such a shy person. The captain in her impression was synonymous with patriotism and reliability.

"You can call me Caroline. Actually, um...it's a little hard to say. I'm penniless now, Mr. Rogers. So can you wait for me for a while? I promise I will pay you back."

It took Caroline a few times to say this. She has never worried about money since she grew up.Her family was not a well-known aristocrat in England, and by the beginning of the twentieth century, the reputation of an aristocrat was left in vain, and she was already heavily in debt.

In order to maintain the operation of the estate, her great-great-grandfather compromised and married the daughter of an American rich man.So strictly speaking, Caroline still has some American blood. If she can go to the UK, she might be able to meet this American great-great-grandmother.

Crowley's family was also hit hard during World War II, losing several promising young people on the battlefield, and almost losing an heir.After World War II, the development of the family improved, and the reforms of young people allowed the family to keep up with the development of the times.

Caroline's surname was casual, and of course she would not say an obviously British surname to Steve, how should she explain her identity.

Hi, I'm from England over 70 years later, I don't know how I got here, but I'm definitely a nice guy!

Thinking of this, Caroline's mood became even more depressed. She had no money, no documents that could prove her identity, and she didn't even have a place to stay when she left the hospital.

Steve, who was opposite her, thought she was sad because of medical expenses, "You don't have to worry about this, I won't rush you. By the way, do you have a place to live? If you don't mind, you can go to my house first. "

Caroline looked up in surprise. She didn't expect Steve to say that. This was their first meeting, and they only exchanged names.Apparently he said that after seeing his embarrassment.

"I don't mean anything else. Well, there is no one else in my family. If you live in, I will go to my friend's house. Don't worry, I have absolutely no malicious intentions." Seeing Caroline's expression, Steve thought she was a celibate Women are afraid. He really misunderstood this. Caroline beats four men by herself, so she doesn't worry about her safety at all.

Caroline wasn't sure if hotels in this era allowed you to check in without ID, and even if she could find one, she didn't have cash.

She touched the necklace around her neck with her hand. Apart from this ruby ​​necklace, she had nothing on her that could be exchanged for money.The necklace was a coming-of-age gift from her grandmother to Caroline, and she wore it to the cosplay show because it was small and unobtrusive.

After thinking about it, Caroline felt that she couldn't just accept another person's kindness, so she took off the necklace and handed it to Steve.

"Thank you, really thank you for taking me in. I don't have anything valuable around me, so you must accept this."

There is a snowflake-shaped pendant hanging on the thin chain. If you look closely, you will find that the corners of the snowflakes are dotted with red, shining finely under the light.

The fact that a girl with no cash and alone has kept the necklace is proof enough that it must have held special meaning for her.

Steve didn't want to accept it, but Caroline insisted, and she even offered to be her mortgage, and Steve could return the money to her when she finished paying it back. If Steve didn't accept it, she absolutely couldn't go to his house .

One must give it, the other shirks not to want it, and the two have been arguing until Steve's home in Brooklyn.Of course it was Caroline who won, she looked like you're going to leave now if you don't take me.

"Steve, where have you been? I've been waiting at your house for two hours."

A tall man suddenly came out from a corner, and there were cigarette butts scattered all over the corner, which showed that he had indeed waited for a long time.

As soon as Crowline saw his appearance, she knew who this man was, Captain America's good friend and comrade-in-arms, Bucky Barnes.

"I went to the hospital, Caroline, this is Bucky Barnes. Bucky, this is Caroline Winter." Steve introduced the two of them.

Caroline smiled at Bucky, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Barnes."

Bucky's eyes turned to Caroline and Steve, he smiled inexplicably, and then reached out and thumped Steve on the shoulder.Perhaps due to the fact that Caroline was still present, he didn't say anything to tease the two of them.

This obviously misunderstood, the smile on Caroline's face did not change, but Steve was at a loss.He pulled Bucky aside, frowned and whispered, "No, whatever you were thinking, it didn't happen. I found Caroline passed out in the alley, so I took her to the hospital and that's all."

"Wow, hero save the beauty, brother, I didn't see that you still have such luck. She didn't see you being beaten, right? If she saw you, you would have no chance." Bucky's voice was not lowered at all, Ke The corner of Rowling's mouth couldn't help but rise a little. It seems that Bucky Barnes has a much more lively personality than Steve.

As the time approached dusk, Caroline turned her head to look at Brooklyn shrouded in the sunset, housewives who were busy returning home, workers who had just got off work, dressed in vintage clothes, this sense of time and dislocation made her dazed for a moment, she How should I return to reality, and why did I come here.What would Kingsman and her family do if she stayed here?

"Caroline, Caroline, are you okay? Is your body still not recovered?" Steve saw that Caroline seemed to be looking into the distance and thinking about something, thinking about her health or wanting her to enter the room .

It was only after a few times that Caroline came back to her senses, and quickly apologized.I don't know how Steve explained it to Bucky, but now the young man doesn't look at her jokingly, he is a little serious and a little wary.

Also, if a woman pops up out of nowhere with no money and about to live in a friend's house.No matter how you think about it, you look like a liar, Caroline lowered her head and smiled wryly.

Steve lives in a single man's house, and many things are mixed together, which shows that he is not a very particular person, but it is still tidy, there is not a lot of garbage and no place to clean up.

He introduced the layout of the house, and then went into his room to pack some of his clothes and necessary supplies, planning to go with Bucky later.

"I left the keys on the table. I left both of them. You can live in another room and don't feel uncomfortable. Don't worry too much about money. Life will be fine, Miss Winter."

Although the current Steve is still the one that Crowline is familiar with, the help and trust from the person in front of him makes Crowline feel very warm.

"Thank you for your trust, but you must leave a key for yourself."

Bucky obviously felt the same way, it was safer, "It will be convenient for you to need anything, in case Miss Winter is not at home or something."

When sending the two of them away, Caroline promised that she would find a place to move as soon as possible. She didn't know if this guarantee could reassure Bucky.After Crowline leaned against the door and watched the two people who were quite different in stature but unexpectedly harmonious leave, she couldn't restrain a sense of helplessness for the future.
