The days of recuperating at Osborne House were leisurely.

Jennifer cooperates with the doctor to change dressings every day, no matter whether it is wound cleaning, suturing or stimulating self-healing, it is silent.The medical staff provided her with a pain pump, but she barely used it, for fear that she would be too comfortable to bear the next time she was injured.

Except for the treatment process, Jennifer is no different from an ordinary patient. She usually watches TV news when she is free, flips through the materials to be used in the next play, memorizes lines, and occasionally sends messages to acquaintances in the circle to chat with each other. joke.

Dr. Conners only came for the injection on the first day, and the assistant researchers who came after him were all very familiar with the prognosis of wound infection, and they also trusted the black bear medicine that had undergone many large-scale experiments. Just enter the ward to record some key data.

The doctor himself stayed in the ward where the reptile potion was used. It is said that the potion was diluted dozens of times from the original solution. So far, it seems that the users have not had any adverse reactions, and even a contestant with only half of his body left Fully recovered.

While recuperating, Jennifer yawned from time to time as she listened to the researchers bragging about the potion.

She's completely relaxed now.

Originally, he was still worried about facing the violent storm brought by Brian, but he never expected that the gold-medal agent was caught up in an emergency, and he had no time to visit his doctor these two days.

At that time, he had already walked to Los Angeles International Airport, and suddenly received a call saying that a well-known singer under his command was involved in a nightclub brawl scandal.The reporters reacted violently and made a fuss, wishing to take this opportunity to spread the singer's scandals all over the sky.As the general manager in charge of the overall situation, Brian could only rush back to the office overnight and grab the public relations team to personally supervise the battle.

Still flying to New York, flying what New York.

It's not easy for him to visit the sick. New York and Los Angeles are not as close as cities like Metropolis and Gotham. They are separated by the distance from the east coast to the west coast. It takes five hours by plane.

Bryan's side is depressed, and Jennifer's side is good everywhere.

Except diet.

The people at Osborne Industries seemed to have forgotten what she was eating and provided her with Nutritious Bars for three meals a day.Although this "sick meal" works well, the sweetness of butter and sugar has exceeded the range that humans can bear.

Jennifer would rather eat bugs for three days in a row.

Eating worms just tastes sour and refreshing, but eating butter is just soaring.

Now I basically want to vomit when I see sweet things, so on the fourth day of hospitalization, Young Master Wayne came from Gotham to visit the sick, and when he showed up with the porridge bought from the Chinese restaurant downstairs, Jennifer Look at him the way fans look at Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Savior" Bruce Wayne, "Saint" Bruce Wayne!

Jennifer, with her green eyes fixed on the lunch box, urged Maha to put the cutlery on the table, amused by both her eagerness and her poise.

Bruce put his things on the tray table, put down a stack of magazines, and found himself a chair to sit in, putting the other tote bag at his feet.He looked a little tired, and he was still slightly sluggish when walking, but even if he was in pain, it was not obvious on his face.

Jennifer looked at him for a while, raised an eyebrow: "You are late."

She asked Maha to send him a message when she first arrived in New York, and she received a message saying "Got it" that day, but it turned out that it was already the fourth day when this person showed up.It's not that Jennifer is in a hurry to see him, it's just that it's not a problem if the boyfriend who "has not broken up" doesn't come to visit him for a long time, and the reporters may have to write about it again.

She had such a question, and Bruce had to have such an answer.

Young Master Wayne changed his posture on the chair, frowned slightly, and said vaguely: "It's too late. I encountered a little trouble these two days, and I just solved it."

Little trouble?

Jennifer definitely thought it was a work matter after changing her previous date, but what work matter could this young master have?Not to mention that he is going to sell all the shares to others, right?

She had a question mark in her heart.

Seeing that Bruce didn't go any further, he didn't bother to ask questions.

The three of them sat quietly in the room and went about their own business. When Jennifer finished eating the porridge, Bruce was going to come up to carry the bag, but Maha took the first step.The female agent cleaned up everything on the table, picked up a bag of trash that was in the room, and said calmly, "I'm going out to get some air."

It is said to be breathable, but it is actually to give the two people time to talk for themselves.

Jennifer watched her cast a warning look from afar, as if saying "Be careful when acting", and then walked out of the ward neatly, closing the door behind her back.

There is a slight "click".

Jennifer turned her head and asked after hearing the footsteps going away: "Have you brought that?"

"That" can mean different things in the conversations of different people, but in the conversations between the two of them, it has always meant only one thing - the blocker.

Hearing this, Bruce smiled, took out something from his pocket and shook it.

What he held in his hand was a small metal shield, currently the best-selling and most effective model in the world.This is a new upgrade of Stark Industries this year. It can detect all audio and video recording and eavesdropping devices within a certain range and temporarily paralyze them.

Since the first-generation jammer was released the year before last, Tony Stark has continuously improved and upgraded it, fighting wits and courage with merchants who sell bugs.It is with this invention that he has jumped from the favorite person of all Hollywood women to the favorite person of all Hollywood, and of course the person who is the most loved and hated by toilet paper newspapers and paparazzi.

Jennifer is a loyal fan of jammers. All kinds of "doors" in modern society are too rampant. Without anti-eavesdropping devices, actors dare not speak loudly even at home, for fear of making headlines the next day.

When Bruce pressed the button, she really relaxed immediately, and stopped thinking about the words word by word. "Were you photographed when you first came up?"

"Of course it was photographed." Bruce adjusted his sitting posture again, as if something was hurting him, "There are a circle of reporters downstairs, and I don't need to bother to find any shooting angles. As soon as I got out of the car, there were overwhelming flashes. "

He paused, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Alfred was... worried. When you went to the competition, he stayed at the lakeside villa and had nothing to do, watching the live broadcast every day. In the next few days, I ate burnt scones every day. Do you know how many years I haven't tasted this taste? It can be seen that he was frightened by you. How is the wound?"

Wound?

The wound on the leg is slowly getting better under the action of the medicine, and the small cut on the back is almost healed. As for the biggest wound, the infected one, the medicine has just been changed today.As the wound was cleaned and stimulated to heal, the medical staff reduced the amount of maggots used, but maggots were still maggots in the final analysis, disgusting in one lump and disgusting in one stick.

Jennifer hooked her lips: "Do you want to see how the recovery is going?"

The experience of getting along for more than half a year shows that once Miss Davis shows this expression, nothing good will happen.If Master Wayne wanted to care about him just now, he is completely desperate now.He pursed his lips vigilantly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and muttered, "Thank you for your kindness. I think you are in good spirits, and Alfred should be relieved."

What an open-mouthed Mr. Pennyworth.

Jennifer shook her head in her heart, and she also raised the head of the bed: "They gave me the black bear potion, and it worked well for me."

On the first day of hospitalization, the drug was put down, not only the new injuries suffered in the "Wild Challenge" program, but also the hidden dangers left by the usual training, and the hidden injuries left by hanging Wia during filming. In short, the whole body is reacting , first stinging, then warm.

No one can watch themselves reborn and remain indifferent. No wonder this medicine is worth a thousand gold, and there is no market for it.

Hearing the name, Bruce showed a clear expression: "The black bear potion is really easy to use, and I bought some back when I came to see you. Osborn is really stingy, even if we ask him to buy it, we have to limit the quantity If it wasn't for the fact that I was really useful this time, he wouldn't have given me six of them."

Jennifer was taken aback.

She turned the head of the bed to 90 degrees, roving her eyes on the other person, carefully examining her pampered ex-boyfriend.

Although spring has just begun, Bruce Wayne is extraordinarily well dressed today.Uncharacteristically, he buttoned the collar of his shirt tightly, and the cuffs were tightly locked. Only those close to him would feel that there was something wrong.But he can only cover up the marks on his body, not the abnormalities on his head and hands - there are a few dark red marks on the edge of the hairline on the sideburns, if you don't look carefully, you will think it was caught by Yingying Yanyan, Remnants of a plaster bandage remained on his right hand.

This injury is really surprising.

Jennifer sighed: "Tell me, what is it this time, a ski flip, a racing car crash, a motorcycle sideways or a skydiving pull?"

This kind of thing is not once or twice, she is used to it, and Alfred should be more used to it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Wayne subconsciously touched the scar on the edge of his temple, then curled his fingers as if realizing something, and put them above his knees.

"Neither." He shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression, "After watching your waterfall, our companions who often go crazy together are very interested. I went to play the valley rappelling two days ago, but the rope was released too fast. I accidentally bumped into the mountain wall. Fortunately, the people who were traveling with me supported me below, otherwise you would not have seen me in the ward, but you would have seen me in the social news of major newspapers."

Excited by me?

How dare you say it.

Jennifer created a new file in her head called "Downhill Mistakes" and inserted it into the "Stupid Things Bruce Wayne Did" folder, right in between "Climbing Forgot to Buckle" and "Skating Got Scratched by Ice Blades."

In the year before the breakup, the two of them got together less often, and she often saw the news of Master Wayne's extreme sports injury from the newspapers in the distance. When they were together, especially at night, she could often see with her own eyes, Touch the growing scars on his body with your own hands.But those were all bruises and large abrasions, which seemed to be caused by carelessness.

Looking back on it now, it’s fine if the survivability is almost zero. Every time I mention the injury, I have to listen to him rambling on about extreme sports and sports injuries. It was so annoying.

Anyway, we broke up, so we don't have to take care of each other's poor nerves.

Jennifer sneered bluntly: "You will kill yourself sooner or later."

She had wanted to say this for a long time, but she couldn't say it every time it came to her lips, but now it was a matter of course.She wanted to kill her with one blow, but it was a pity that Master Wayne had nothing but a cynical heart.

I saw Bruce smiled again, and shot back: "It's really not convincing to say this from your mouth."

Got it, are you using "Wilderness Challenge" as a shield now?

Jennifer didn't bother to talk to him. She considered herself a person who knew how to do what she could. Although she would face many dangers in the wild, she never tried to seek death by herself. It was fundamentally different from Young Master Wayne who went to self-destruction and never looked back. road.

But it's useless to talk too much, and you're asking for trouble.

She was silent for a moment, and turned the topic to the question that had troubled her for many days: "When I was first hospitalized, they gave me two choices, the black bear potion and the reptile potion. Dr. Connors told me that the reptile potion can regenerate limbs, Makes a man heal himself to wholeness. Have you ever heard of that?"

Hearing this, Bruce Weidun: "Someone doesn't want us to buy it."

In no mood?

Jennifer narrowed her eyes: "That means you know this medicine, and you know that there are two forces behind it."

Bruce didn't change his face: "When I came to buy Black Bear Pharmacy, the person in charge often stuffed me with promotional data for new drugs. The hype was written on it, but every time I asked to buy some, they always said they were out of stock. Osborne Industry, hmph, they treat medicine like eyeballs, I wonder if they don't intend to make money."

That is to say, some people want to sell and some people don't want to sell.

Jennifer came to her senses: "What promotional data? Also, what kind of black bear potion did they give you? Can you let me have a look."

She sat up straight, watched the other party think for a moment, then nodded, and then carried the bag at her feet to the bed.

There is a box of six black bear injections in the handbag, at least on the surface, it is no different from the injections given to the players. I don't know if the effect is different.

The promotional document of reptile medicine is saved in Bruce's mobile phone. It is a pictorial with exaggerated words and real cases. The whole promotional document talks about the benefits of reptile medicine and its positive impact on people. Experimental data and side effects are silent.

Jennifer looked through it hastily, and found that there was no other information, and it was nothing particularly useful, so she prepared to hand the phone back to the other party.Unexpectedly, the moment he handed it over, he pulled his back and rubbed his fingers on the screen carelessly, so that the opened photo album immediately jumped to the next one.

"Sorry," she said immediately.

In the next second, his eyes froze.

Although Bruce quickly pulled the phone away when he saw the situation was not good, she clearly saw the photo that appeared on the screen.It was a laboratory test sheet. Looking at the test results of the home detector, it seemed that it was going to be forwarded to someone.

Jennifer couldn't see it clearly, but only saw the line marked in black: fifth metacarpal neck fracture.

She stared at the swollen right hand of the person in front of her, and found that not only the back of the hand, but even the joints were bruised and cracked.These details struck like lightning, reflecting the confusion in her heart.

My thoughts turned sharply, and I felt something.

Jennifer took a moment to ask, "So your hand...you broke the fifth metacarpal bone."

There was tension in the words that blurted out, but overall they were quite peaceful, as if a friend had said something unintentionally.Bruce, who was a bit strange just now, really teased and said: "With all due respect, besides actresses, female stars, and female explorers, do you still work as female doctors now?"

Jennifer ignored the smile in his tone, and asked straightforwardly: "Did you say the same to the newspaper, downhill mistake? Bruce, you don't have to tell me the truth, but you don't have to lie to me. I'm not a Doc, but I know about Boxer fractures. Well, when you say you hit a cliff, do you mean you made a fist when you braced yourself against the cliff?"

She couldn't believe the other party's talent in making up lies.

The fractures were angled and offset, a fracture of this type meant only one thing: the victim had hit hard with a clenched hand.

Fifth metacarpal fractures are usually aggressive fractures, which mostly occur in young people who like to hit the wall with their fists and people who fight. Because boxers often have this kind of injury, it is also called Boxer fracture.

Bruce Wayne is a playboy, where and whom is he going to beat someone?

And these wounds on his scalp are even more strange from a close look, they look like nails hooked out, but in fact the incisions are sharp, which girl would leave her nails like four knives?

In an instant, those trivial past events flew through Jennifer's mind.

The time when Batman appeared, the expensive equipment, Bruce's evaluation of him, the incompatibility of clinking wine glasses, the kiss on the balcony, the freezing temperature by the bed, the lights on the stairs, the limping legs, the fire scene Also, the words of the old housekeeper have been hurt all the year round...

She strings everything together.

It dawned on her.

There is the voice of the other party apologizing in my ear - "Well, I admit, it's okay to lose face in front of others, I just don't want to lose face in front of you. I got into a fight with someone a few days ago, but it was only because there were paparazzi chasing me The female companion who was traveling with me took a camera to take pictures of people's skirts, how could I let this happen..."

Young Master Wayne said it sincerely, as if this was the whole story.

But Jennifer was already immersed in her own thoughts.

He underestimated her, or rather, he valued her too much.If the inference is true, then Bruce Wayne must have unparalleled insight, he knew what kind of person she was the first time he saw her.She has better eyesight than anyone else, but she is also more likely than anyone else to fall into the reasons she has preset in advance.

Smart is mistaken by smart.

Bruce knew she would never be fooled by the saying that "Master Wayne is naturally grumpy and often fights", or even "Master Wayne is just a person who likes extreme sports and can't do them well" , On the contrary, I would rather believe that he is lonely, that he has abnormalities under the glamorous shell, and that he pursues excitement to destroy himself.

So these reasons have come out of his mouth so smoothly for a year, without even needing to think about it.

The reporters were used to the stupid things done by Wayne, an "extreme sports enthusiast", but she was blinded by the reasons she set, and she was also used to the "stupid things" done by Bruce.

To hell, to hell, to hell!

Jennifer felt an extremely complicated emotion. This emotion was as if someone found out that the relatives she lived with day and night were actually secret agents, the classmates at the front and back desks were actually mutants, and the pet dog she had raised for many years was actually ET.

She inhales deeply.

Bruce next to him continued to chatter and change the subject: "Tony said they would postpone the third round, because there were too many injuries in the second round, and I don't know how long it would take to heal the injuries. He said that old Osborne It is given advanced technology, but we have to leave enough time to observe and observe carefully. There should be no sequelae, or we will lose money. He doesn't care, Luthor absolutely refuses...Jenny, are you listening? Jenny?"

"I'm listening," Jennifer said flatly.

She barely suppressed the [-] words in her heart, and forcibly focused on the most important thing in front of her.A special status also has its benefits, at least some things that bother her can be fully confessed.

After a pause, Jennifer asked: "You are familiar with Stark, and Stark is familiar with Osborne, so do you know why there are two groups of people behind the reptile potion? One of them obviously wants to apply the potion to everyone. seriously injured players, while another group wants to sell potions to big shots like you... I don't understand, why us and you?"

She spoke slowly, gradually organizing her thoughts in her heart, feeling a chill after another.

If Bruce's identity made her feel overwhelmed, the person behind the reptilian potion completely made her feel angry.

This is undoubtedly a conspiracy, and she is now on the verge of the quagmire of the conspiracy.

Jennifer stared at each other without blinking, seeing Bruce froze, and then hesitated for a moment that was rare.

"Jenny, I don't know what you're talking about..." he said softly, "...but I don't agree with you mentioning big people. The Wilderness is a live broadcast around the world for weeks , Every move of the players is watched by countless people, if we are considered big shots, then the players are even more big shots."

Global Live!

What he said rang in Jennifer's ears like a bell, making her pale.

Yes, the chaebols and politicians will certainly show their faces, but they are all prepared in advance and can be canceled at any time, but the live broadcast of "Wild Challenge" is not.

No matter what conspiracy the people behind it have, they all want to use the live broadcast platform to achieve it.One group wants to sell it to celebrities, while the other group wants it to be published on a global platform and is unwilling to sell it to anyone else.

Does this mean that there is a problem with the reptile potion itself?

Jennifer pondered.

She looked at the man opposite, to see if he had any follow-up hints, but she didn't; she wanted to see what he was thinking at this moment, whether he had a plan to take over this matter, but she didn't either.

From that face she could only see just the right amount of puzzlement and vague compliments.

The two of them talked like this for half an hour, until the visiting time was over, and the bell in the room stopped. This atmosphere is not weird if you say it is weird, and it is not smooth if you say it is smooth.

Jennifer leaned against the head of the bed, watched the other party put away her things, and walked towards the door a little awkwardly.

He must be enduring great pain, just like her; but he must also not want to show it in front of anyone, just like her.

A force suddenly came to her heart, so strong that she immediately opened her mouth to throw the name out of her throat, so as not to be burned by it——

"Bruce."

"how?"

The tall man stopped by the door.

"Be careful, Bruce, you may not know what you're doing." She said softly—looking at the other's gloomy back—"We all have secrets, some of which will only make you face controversy, and some will make you More losses. Secrets have a price, and I'm afraid it's too big for you and those around you to bear."

Bruce didn't turn around, he stood still, his tone light and casual: "Look at what you said, it's just a few embarrassing affairs, I happen to be the richest person in Gotham, and I happen to have the best lawyer team in the United States, I can't afford any price..."

Jennifer interrupted very lightly: "Money and a team of lawyers can't save you from a life-or-death crisis."

Bruce fell silent, turned around, and met her gaze.

He's not smiling anymore.
