How to be a hero with Crispy Skin Cure
Chapter 3
Fiona rarely gets a call from home, but she doesn't really want it, even resists it.
Because she knew that her father would not care about her for no reason.When he specifically called, he must have something to tell himself.
Often it's something she doesn't want to accept.
For example, stay at school again this weekend.
She wanted to ask her father why, didn't he miss her at any moment?
Or, to her father, seeing her or not is dispensable.
She had a lot of words to say, but they were all blocked in her throat, as if someone had strangled her throat.
Father's voice on the phone sounded a little tired, maybe she shouldn't make too many demands.
She agreed softly: "Okay, I see."
There was another silence on the other end of the phone, always silent.
She asked, "Father, is there anything else?"
"No, take good care of yourself. Other things are not important, as long as you are healthy."
She can't count how many times Bruce has said that.In her limited exchanges with her father, he always said so.
In this family, he would have disputes with other children, but he had no requirements or restrictions on himself.
Presumably because she wasn't worthy of giving her father hope.She has always been so ordinary and has no merits. If there are demands on her, the final result will only disappoint people.
"I understand, father."
"Ah."
The two people who were not good at speaking made the phone call silent again.
Fiona spoke first: "Then I'll hang up first, and I have to do my homework."
"it is good."
She pressed to end the call, and Bruce put down the phone sadly.
Ah Fu asked him beside him: "Master, is it so difficult to say that I miss you?"
Bruce, who was named, turned his face unnaturally: "We will see you next week."
The butler chuckled.Based on the master's concern for the lady, I am afraid that sending her to the metropolis is just a lip service.
If Superman really wanted to take care of Fiona, he couldn't rest assured.
Who made Fiona his first child and only daughter.For Bruce, there was always something special about meeting a first life in person.
What's more, with that incident back then, Bruce would never let Fiona out of his control.
"You should spend more time with Miss. She was so attached to you when she was a child, she would cry if she didn't see her for a minute."
"Ah Fu, her safety comes first. Too many people are watching my whereabouts, and those all-pervasive guys will not let go of any chance to control me. In this family, Fiona is the easiest target."
Mentioning this, Bruce himself has mixed emotions:
"Besides, she has grown up and will no longer be as willful as before."
Fiona used to be very naughty.She would knock over Dick's water glass, smear his homework, and stick out her short legs stupidly to try to trip him.
Dick was already an older kid, and of course he didn't hold grudges against his three-year-old sister.Being sociable, he quickly found a way to get along with Fiona.
He would suddenly make funny faces to scare his younger sister, and tease her with chocolates. The two siblings often chased and fought around the house.
Fiona tried her best to run, and Dick, who was very agile, walked backwards and slowly, deliberately leaving a distance that she could not catch up to, forcing her sister to tears and hugging her.
Wayne Manor at that time was always full of children's laughter.The pure-hearted Fiona gradually accepts that she has an extra brother. Although she still feels a little awkward, she won't make any more pranks.
It would be great if the development of the story can always go smoothly like this.
"Back then, I shouldn't have sent Fiona to Oran's house."
For Bruce, this incident has been haunting him for a long time.
Oran, that is, the family to which Fiona's late mother belonged.at that time.
He was so busy grooming Dick to be his assistant Robin that he had less time for Fiona.It coincides with the kindergarten holding a parent-child study tour, and going to European countries for half a month.
Because the classmates all participated, the face-saving Fiona also acted like a baby, and Batman couldn't leave Gotham for so long.
Fiona, who was already dissatisfied with her father's sharing of her care with other people, was so angry that she refused to eat after being rejected and insisted on participating.
When he was in a dilemma, another daughter of the Oran family, the sister of Fiona's mother, enthusiastically expressed that she could take Fiona with her, and she hoped to get along with her and take care of her.
Bruce didn't allow it. Fiona had never had any contact with the Oran family before. After all, her mother died a few days after giving birth to her.He instinctively suspected that the Oran family had ulterior motives and would not take care of Fiona seriously.
But the lady said a lot of provocative words, and even pleaded with him tearfully, Fiona has never seen her mother, it's pitiful enough, why can't she not even know her mother's family?
Half of her mother's blood flowed on her body, and she had an unbroken blood relationship with the Oran family.
This Ms. Oran was crying so much that she was completely different from her usual lady image, and the nostalgia for Fiona's mother in her words did not seem to be fake.In addition, the deep affection between the two sisters of Oran is well known in Gotham aristocratic circles.
The subject of his mother touched Bruce's heart, and he finally agreed.
At that time, he never thought that this decision would be so stupid.
"It's not your fault." Ah Fu gently persuaded him, "Who would have thought of what would happen later?"
A father who places a child in the care of her deceased mother's sister for a period of time.In ordinary people, this is a very common thing.
It wasn't Bruce's intention for those accidents to happen.
"But I still hurt her, Ah Fu. She was so young back then, I can't imagine how uncomfortable she would be."
"Sir, it's not you who hurt Miss."
Bruce said stubbornly: "I caused it, and I gave them a chance. If it weren't for my connivance, this kind of thing would never have happened."
Taking all responsibility on himself is probably a habit engraved in Batman's DNA.
Ah Fu also took it for granted, no more words, just sighed.
Fiona, who was being discussed by them, was lying on her bed at the moment.
A heavy curtain was set up on her bed, blocking the light in the room tightly.
In the dark curtain of the bed, a tear flowed from the corner of Fiona's eye.
Her nose is a bit congested, but she dares not blow it out with a tissue because Grace is still in the room and she will hear her.
Grace would definitely pull back the curtains to check if she had a cold or sickness, and she couldn't hide her tears.
With her personality, she must break the casserole and ask the end.
Fiona lay in this position.It was difficult to breathe through the nose, so she opened her mouth to inhale and exhale.
She didn't sit up slowly until she heard the sound of Grace getting out of bed, footsteps, and the bathroom door being opened and closed, and pulled out a few tissues.
In the dark, the illuminated phone screen stands out.
She picked up her phone to check, it was a text message from an unknown number.
There was a photo of Bruce and a woman she didn't know, snuggled up close, and Bruce helping the woman put on a bracelet.
Her expression didn't fluctuate, and she didn't care who the sender was.Bruce Wayne is her father, not her boyfriend, so the demonstration is in the wrong place, right?
Moreover, even if it is really necessary to discuss whether Bruce will marry a wife, and who he will marry, the first thorn in the way that needs to be resolved is not her, but Damian.
When she was about to delete this boring text message and block the number, the other party sent another one.
[Look at her bracelet. 】
What bracelet?Even if it's priceless, it's none of her business.Father used his own money.
【Don't you think it looks familiar?This is your mother's relic. 】
Fiona froze.
She zoomed in on the photo and saw that she had indeed seen the shape of this string of bracelets.
On Aunt Oran's hand, there was the same one.
[Poor Elizabeth.After her death, the man she loved lost even a rudimentary respect for her. 】
[If her child can please Bruce, at least for the sake of the child, she wouldn't be reduced to this end, right? 】
Elizabeth is her mother's name.
Her heart seemed to have been hammered heavily.
Fiona felt like she was out of breath.
[This must be an imitation, don't lie. 】
【You are really stupid, no wonder Wayne doesn't like you.Even if you say that the styles are similar, you can still deceive yourself, but you say Wayne will send fakes? 】
【Your panic is enough to prove that in your heart, Wayne can do this kind of thing.He doesn't like you, and even your mother is not welcome by him. 】
The other party's attitude was arrogant, and his words were full of merciless mockery of her.
But it hit her heart precisely.
【You're talking nonsense, my father can't be that kind of person. 】
A red exclamation point pops up in the chat box.
The message was not sent successfully, and Fiona called again, but the voice prompt was an empty number.
Entering this number in the web search box also failed to find any information.
This was a premeditated attack, Fiona told herself.
calm down……
She took several deep breaths in a row, but her heart beat faster and faster.
She trembled uncontrollably.
With trembling fingers, Fiona dialed Tim.
She can't panic, she can't mess herself up.Such a hypocritical lie, just taking advantage of the information gap to deceive her.As long as she asks for proof, it will be fine.
In the mobile phone, Tim's mobile phone ringtone is still playing.Under the soothing classical music, Fiona's heart became more and more tense.
After waiting for nearly half a minute, the call was finally connected.
"Hey?"
Tim turns his phone on and puts it on.He sat in front of the computer, his eyes were bloodshot.
Today, the Wayne Building was suddenly attacked, and he was going crazy.Each of these matters dealt with after the war was urgent and important, and he had to personally check them out.
But he didn't sleep last night.If it wasn't for the sudden madness of the group of mental patients, it would have been time for him to replenish his sleep.
"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, Tim. I'm sorry, but I wanted to take up a moment of your time, and it will be soon..."
"Fiona, if you just say things directly, we can save these ten seconds."
Tim, who was about to reach his limit, was already lying on the table, still insisting on fighting against the drowsiness of drowsiness, "Tell me what's the matter."
"Ah, I'm sorry. I just, uh, I just wanted to ask you a favor…"
Hell, is Fiona's voice so hypnotic?
Tim's eyelids were getting heavy, and he couldn't hear what Fiona was saying.
"Look at... the bracelet..."
Bracelet?What bracelet is she going to buy recently?
Just for this matter, is her bank card out of money?
Tim, who vaguely felt that it was not a big deal, simply gave up struggling and let himself fall asleep.
Pay her after you wake up.
"Hello? Hello? Tim, are you still listening?"
Fiona raised her voice to call him, and Tim, tired and asleep, couldn't hear anything outside.
His phone was still on constantly.
Fiona, who didn't get a response for a long time, silently hung up the phone.
Does Tim's silence mean he knows?
He didn't even ask how she knew that.
Maybe in Gotham, it's no secret at all.The owner of that string of numbers probably disliked her and wanted to make her suffer.
This is not surprising, since she was a child, she has experienced too much unprovoked malice.She has experienced anything worse than this.
She just thought it was a little ridiculous.
It turns out that I tried so hard to pretend, in the eyes of others, it has long been a joke.
Because she knew that her father would not care about her for no reason.When he specifically called, he must have something to tell himself.
Often it's something she doesn't want to accept.
