The Berlin Sanatorium is located in the east of Avidu, built on the hillside, and is a classic European building.The European-style forest garden of thousands of acres is built on the hillside. There is an open step, which opens up like a central axis. There are symmetrical flower beds and lawns on both sides.

At this time, the roses are blooming, facing the warm spring breeze, there are layers of pink or purple flowers.Among the delicate and beautiful flowers, the fountain flows, and the gurgling water flows into the clear pool, beside which stands the statues of figures facing each other from afar.

Morris came out of the doctor's office and looked at the sea of ​​flowers, with a panoramic view of the sea in the distance.

"Please follow me." The nurse smiled softly, "The old general likes to rest in the sun with his eyes closed, and he is usually not in the room at this time."

Morris nodded, still with his usual cold and arrogant face, looking at the mottled back in the distance, although the distance was far away, he recognized his father and his boss at a glance.

Thinking of the doctor's advice, Morris frowned. Although his father's injuries were not serious, he was old after all, and his body's recovery was far worse than that of young people.Now he can only see blurry things, but fortunately his eyes are not too sensitive to light.

For the first time, Morris realized that his father, who was indomitable and put endless pressure on him since he was a child, was suddenly old, old enough to need his own care, and he was about to have grandchildren.

Hand, can't help secretly covering the swollen belly, Morris is in a complicated mood, and slowly walks towards his father.

"Coming?" Grant was sitting by the flowerbed, with a straight posture, holding a cane with his hands clasped.Just looking from behind, one can feel the strong aura of a superior person, but his blond hair has white hairs, and although his voice is mighty and cold, without turning his head, he can hear the person coming. pace.

"Sit next to me, Morris." Grant ordered Morris in a superior tone as usual.

Looking at his father's white hair, Morris's eyes trembled slightly. He clearly remembered that father and son embraced before the SG-I exploration. His father's eyes were sharp, and there was no white hair on his head.

The clear voice was a little unsteady, Morris stretched out his hand, and slowly took Grant's hand.

"Father……"

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and Morris could feel his father's hand trembling slightly, as if for many years...hasn't he been as close as he is now?

Grant turned his head, and even though his eyes were sick, his eyes were still deep and sharp, as if he could see through a person, and looked at Morris.

Morris was taken aback, feeling inexplicably frightened, because he had been strict with his eyes since he was a child.

Grant suddenly stretched out his hand and touched his son's face. His fingertips seemed to be exploring slowly, from the bridge of the nose, slowly touching the thin face, stroking back and forth.

"You're thinner than last time." Grant said in an affirmative tone, "No matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your body. Without the capital of health, other things are nothing but illusions and castles in the air."

"I've been wanting to see you since I knew you came back. But those old things and the doctors here don't let me leave, and they don't let my subordinates report to me about your specific situation." Grant seemed to hold back his anger , Leaning on crutches hard, Fang said calmly: "Is there something they are hiding from me? Huh!? Morris? Tell me, what did you experience in the Ido world? Also, what happened after you came back?" Is there any problem with the High-risk medical report? I am very worried about your health."

"My body is fine..." Morris paused slightly, obeying the doctor's advice, and finally swallowed the tangled facts.I don't want my father to be stimulated, presumably my father's colleagues, Andre or Sherman, also deliberately concealed this situation for themselves.

"I think Sherman and the others, as well as the doctors, all hope that father will recover as soon as possible, so they try not to disturb foreign affairs. You have been busy all your life, and it is good to take this opportunity to recuperate for a while?" Morris changed his past Sharp, soft-spoken persuasion to father.

Grant snorted coldly: "I'm idle here, maybe they are stealing fun? You are still young and have not experienced real upper-level struggles. If you don't have the capital to make the federal government pay attention, then you have to play tricks and intrigue. That old fox Andrea is the best at this!"

Hearing what his father said, Morris frowned, and carefully explained the important details about SG-I, as well as today's federal meeting.Grant still dismissed the mention of Han Jing's promotion, but he didn't notice Morris' hidden thoughts.

"Don't worry too much. Although Andre is an old fox, he has been your father's friend for many years." After hearing what Morris said, Grant nodded thoughtfully, "He is very shrewd and knows that my son will be unstoppable and possess irreplaceable strength. , Atlantis, Charon...they all need your participation, Maurice."

"From now on, you can completely leave my prestige, you will be more promising than me, and become the future power center of the federal government."

"What can compare to Alteran's super civilization? More worthy of the federal government's full investment? As long as you plan well, with your current position, you will definitely become a core figure in the future." Grant was in a good mood, leaning back in his chair, no longer Straight as a sword.

"I'm getting old, Maurice." Grant suddenly let out a long breath, "Actually, during the period when your accident happened, I thought about a lot, a lot of things... besides you, your mother, Catherine, was the most important thing. "

"I know you've been blaming me for not staying with your mother in those two years? Actually, I regret it... I was young and energetic and obsessed with the desire for power, but now I regret it to the extreme."

Grant looked at the beautiful roses, the faint pink color, blurred vision, vaguely the color of a dream, and the hazy back that can only be seen in dreams.

Morris' brows were furrowed, and under his cold and clear eyes, there were turbulent emotions in his eyes.

"Fortunately, in this respect, you are not like me. Although you are cold-tempered, you have the softness of Catherine in your heart... Do you remember? When you were young, you were a very sunny and lively child, and you would be a better family than me. Lord."

"Seeing that my son, the future owner of the Norman family, is better than me in every aspect. As a father, I feel very proud and very satisfied." The corners of Grant's lips lifted, the coldness of steel faded, revealing a rare affection .

"There's only one thing I'm worried about right now..." Grant suppressed his smile, leaning on his crutches, his back slightly swaying.

Morris suddenly felt a bit sad: "You say, father. I will definitely help you do it."

"It's not a big deal." Grant said with a chuckle, "I'm getting old, and I suddenly want to have a grandson... I want to urge you to settle the marriage as soon as possible and find a woman with a similar family background. I heard that the youngest daughter of the Von Braun family not only You are young and beautiful, and have inquired about your affairs. With the help of the von Braun family, you will be even more powerful in your official career."

"What's wrong?" Grant asked keenly, noticing that Morris was silent.

Morris put his arms around his swollen belly and said with a calm smile, "It's okay, I think the Norman family will be lively soon."

"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." Grant couldn't see Morris's expression clearly, but he was still in high spirits. "When my grandson is born, my heart will be completely relieved. It's better to have more. The Norman family has always been thin. By the way, a daughter must be born, named after your mother, Catherine. You must not dispute that."

"Yes, father." Morris frowned, listening to his father's rare nagging.

“Erato is not only a wealthy area in Evidu, but also has a long history. It is populated by celebrities from political circles. There are very few houses that are interested in selling. If you are interested, my suggestion is to make a decision as soon as possible. This villa is really Very good."

"Look at this master bedroom, luxurious European style, the ceiling is painted with gold paint, the four-poster double bed is exquisitely carved, and the carpet under your feet is soft and fine alpine cashmere."

"Let's take a look outside." The tall sales lady stepped on thin high heels and walked towards the balcony connected to the bedroom.This terrace has an area of ​​[-] square meters, with an emotional hot spring bath in the middle, inlaid with gilded porcelain walls beside it, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, and elegantly arranged.While concealing privacy, you can see the roses in the distance blooming freely through a row of milky white fences through juniper pine and weeping crabapple.

"What do you think?" The sales lady turned her head and smiled sweetly, "Isn't it charming? I think your wife will like it."

Han Jing nodded, looking at the high wall in the distance, as well as the dense European ash, juniper and red pine, which made this luxurious villa look very private, which was also a point Morris specifically mentioned.Like Glenn, Morris prefers a secluded and secluded residence, and does not want outsiders to see his increasingly clumsy appearance.

"I'm very satisfied. What is its selling price?" Han Jing frowned slightly, asking about the most sensitive matter.In fact, he had been prepared for a long time. This mansion in the Erato district was definitely expensive. He was afraid that he would have to save two or three years of salary to make the down payment, but Morris was in a hurry.

"The bidding price is 480 million, and there are two buyers with strong intentions." The sales lady replied with a smile, she did not underestimate Han Jing because of his youth, especially at this moment, with professional sensitivity, she seemed to capture the success opportunity.

"The auction is scheduled for next Wednesday. If you decide to participate, please feel free to contact me." The sales lady took out a perfume business card and handed it to Han Jing with both hands.

480……

It would have been an astronomical figure when he was at the CF Research Institute, but now, for Han Jing, who works at Base No. 9 and works on federal secrets, it is completely affordable in the long run.It's just that the key problem is in front of me. I haven't worked for a long time, and I can't save the necessary down payment at all.

Do you want to help your father?Thinking of my father’s education from a young age, he pursued the poor support of boys. After graduating from university, he didn’t give me any help, except for the house in the Hybrids area, where he could live for free.

Or borrow money from seniors?Without telling Morris, pay off slowly in the future?No, with Morris' temperament, he will never tolerate any deception by himself.Borrowing money from your father, isn't it also a way to hide it from Morris?

The trouble of self-esteem made Han Jing feel a headache. Suddenly, the mobile phone beside him rang.

"Hello! General!" Han Jing suddenly regained consciousness and stopped heading for the bookstore.

Sherman's voice came from the other end: "How are you doing in Ivy? How is Morris?"

"he's good……"

"Yes, I just found out about this..." The slightly nervous voice slowly calmed down.Sherman was like a kind elder, relaxing Han Jing's mood.

"Although your vacation has been approved, you need to arrange matters related to Base No. 9 as soon as possible, as well as the federal government. According to Andre, you will be transferred to the military affairs side, and Morris will be your top boss. .”

"The work department is a specially established Nordic exploration agency. Although your position is not high, it is the core of the entire agency. You must perform as much as possible and don't embarrass Morris." Sherman has a good impression of Han Jing , and Morris watched and grew up by himself, so he couldn't help but say a few more words, "Morris is very proud, and strives for perfection in everything. He is willing to conceive and have children for you, and he must want to spend his life with you. However, love alone is not enough, I believe that you will be considerate of Morris in the details of life, but you must have your own plans in terms of work and a man's career."

"Morris doesn't like weak people. He is willing to wait for you. You have to let him see hope and your shining points. This time, the extraordinary promotion and SG-I's exploration is a very good opportunity for you. Grasp it and show your ability to the top of the federal government."

Although it is not clear why Sherman said these kind words, Han Jing was very grateful and listened to Sherman's details on work.

After visiting his father, Morris returned to the Gaea Hotel. The suite was empty, and the optical computer notebook on the desk was flickering to be turned on.

Morris took off his coat, rubbed his slightly uncomfortable belly, and sat down in front of the desk.The light screen displayed the information that Han Jing consulted, about the real estate information in Erato District.

Morris flipped through it casually, and his cold eyes scanned the lines of information he had browsed before.Suddenly, with a flick of his fingers, Morris frowned, as if realizing something?

The door creaked open.

Han Jing walked in, followed by a waiter who was holding a stack of books half a meter high.

"Buying so many books? Do you want to move the entire bookstore back?" Morris stood up, instructing the waiter, and when he saw the title of the book, a hint of forbearance appeared on his handsome face.

After the waiter left, Morris picked up one and slammed it back on the table.

"What do you buy them for!?"

"They are all books on pregnancy. You are so busy that you don't have time, I always have to make up for it. Take a good look." Facing Morris's inexplicable anger, Han Jing spoke softly, and packed a copy of "Food Supplement During Pregnancy" and " Illustrated Guidance Program for 40 Weeks of Pregnancy" and other books.

Morris was slightly taken aback and regained his senses, but his heart was still unhappy.

"There are all the information about pregnancy on the Internet. Why do you buy such a bunch of dead things? You asked... the waiter to deliver them for you?" For some reason, Morris couldn't control his emotions in front of Han Jing. ?Words remain strong.

Han Jing immediately grasped the implication of the last sentence.

"My brain was short-circuited, and I didn't consider your mood." Han Jing put down the book in his hand, and hugged Morris' body from the side apologetically.In the bookstore, he had carefully read a simple pregnancy encyclopedia, which listed the main things during pregnancy.It is precisely because of this that I bought a large stack of books and learned that pregnant women are generally more stressed than pregnant women, so their emotions tend to fluctuate.

No matter how strong Morris is, the worldly vision is always a dark cloud over his heart.

"However, your body will become heavier and heavier, and it is inevitable that you will appear in public. You always have to slowly adjust your transitional mentality?"

"Aren't you blaming you?" Thinking of the pressure he was going to bear, and the dark eyes Andre looked at him in the morning, Morris didn't feel anything at all, but at this moment, in Han Jing's arms, being hugged warmly, he couldn't help it Expressing your deepest feelings.In fact, he cared very much, cared very much about the eyes of his subordinates or colleagues. The fact of pregnancy shattered the ultimate pride, but he still had to pretend to be indifferent and deal with it calmly.
