[Zhongyingmei] Can drawing cards save the world?

When the door was opened, Elaine didn't know how to face her biological parents.For Luke, she just tolerated his ignorance, and she just felt helpless for this couple who had fallen into a doomed situation because of Strucker, or because of herself.

Isabel was the first to open the door. Her hair was no longer so rough. At least after Roanack gradually improved, her hair could be tied up in a docile manner, instead of being fried and messy like straw.

Maybe Luke worked outside to subsidize his family.

Although he is still young, it is also possible to do some simple odd jobs.

When Isabel saw her, her first reaction was to step back and look at her in disbelief.

"God!" She covered her mouth, and Elaine could see the tears in her eyes.

Hearing her exclamation, Roanker, who was still in the back room, thought he was in some danger, picked up a baseball bat and walked over. When he saw Elaine, he paused, but he was obviously still vigilant. .

Maybe they didn't know that Strack and his remnants had all been wiped out-and yes, Luther wouldn't have the patience to explain to them.

Elaine sighed and said, "I'm Elaine—No. 13, maybe this is the name you are more familiar with."

Number 13 is not controlled by Strucker.

This made Isabel cry even harder, and she rubbed her callused and sweaty hands against her apron, trying to hug Elaine, but hesitated.

"Sorry." Elaine had to say, "Maybe I shouldn't be here."

"No—no, it's not like that, child." Isabel still wanted to touch her, even though she knew that this was not the daughter they lost in the first place, but she couldn't help getting closer.

Elaine felt that it was like the first time she went to Peter's house, facing a person who liked her for the first time, a kind of embarrassment, a kind of at a loss, and didn't know what to do.

Roanker put the baseball bat on the ground, walked to the sofa in silence, and wanted to clean it up.

"I've met your son, haven't you Luke?" She began to mumble, "He, uh, really looks like me."

Embarrassed.

She finally grabbed Isabel's hand, the woman's hand was callused.Elaine felt the burns, the knife cuts on her hands while cooking, and the touch of hairy hairs soaked in alkaline substances when washing clothes.

It is a hand that is not very good in all aspects.

Elaine's hands are different. Her hands are so smooth that they don't even have calluses.

This makes her less fussy.

Isabelle was obviously delighted by her actions. She took Elaine along and sat on the cheap sofa, wanting to say something to Elaine like a mother.

But, perhaps in the eyes of Isabel, she is her mother.

This is where she differs from Roanker.

Roanker only thought that the one that was taken away was his daughter, while Isabel thought that they were all his daughters.

Maybe it's a matter of kinship.

But for Elaine, this feeling doesn't seem to be that deep.

After all, before knowing who the Primarch's parents were, they were all strangers to Elaine.

"I'm here this time because I just want to—" She tried to explain her purpose of coming here, but was stopped by Ronaker's eyes.

Perhaps this is the man's last compromise.

To not break the poor mother's dream.

"I heard that you have a very good relationship with Bruce Wayne. What kind of person is he?" Isabel said, the eyes that were previously full of haze glowed with vitality, "Is he the same as the rumors , a playboy, a playboy?"

Elaine thought for a while and said, "He is exactly the same as the rumors."

But not the same.

Bruce Wayne is Bruce Wayne, but Batman, is Batman.

These are two different people - at least that's what Bruce wants everyone to think.

I remember that when Batman first debuted, Bruce Wayne was one of Gotham’s families that could support Batman’s expensive equipment, and many people reported that Batman was funded by Wayne, and Bruce Wayne was Batman’s Investor.

It's hilarious, but it also glosses over a lot of things.

"Is he treating you well, Elaine?" Isabelle continued.

"He treated me very well." Elaine didn't hesitate this time.

Just like the agreement she made with Bruce when they first met, although she got close to Strack at that time because of his setting, this kind of trust has already been deeply rooted in her bones.

Not to mention that after she learned that she was a tool person, Bruce also abided by the agreement at the time and did not let her sink deeper.

Maybe they don't want love in the traditional sense, green and pure, their relationship is more like a fire and a piece of ice.

Each other left a mark on each other's body and soul.

They kissed for the first time because of the need of the mission, and met for the first time because of the needs of interests, but it seems that in this case, they still inexplicably merge their lives with each other's.

Maybe, this is a joke of fate.

It was also what Hecate wanted to see.

She loves Bruce dearly, but Bruce may not love her that much.

"Maybe you should stay and eat." Isabel said, looking at the kitchen, she suddenly remembered something, patted her head angrily, and said, "Oh—there is no grocery shopping at home, maybe I should go now... But this Can you make it in time?"

Ronarke shook his head. He grabbed Isabel's hand to blame him, and said, "I'll go buy it in time."

As he said, he went into the bedroom, trying to find some change, but he couldn't find it.

There is a rubber band around his wrist, allowing him to flick it when he wants to relapse.

"Let me do it." Elaine stood up and said, "Just replace Elaine Hope."

She went out and opened the door. It looked like she was simply going out, but in fact she had already stepped into a Detroit supermarket, looking for where to buy groceries.

Elaine doesn't know how to cook, at least she hasn't.

However, the recipe that Ah Fu gave her before is still there.

Ah Fu's cursive handwriting is extremely beautiful, detailed and easy to use.

After buying the ingredients she needed, she bought some daily necessities.It was normal for Roanker to not find the money at home, it must have been hidden by Luke.

Even though he has been abstaining from drugs for a while and has money, Roanker may not be able to withstand such a challenge of desire, and will soon make everything before him come to naught.

And once he relapses, it means that Luke's school waste will also be taken back by Luke, and no more points will be given.

Therefore, it is definitely not possible to directly use money to help this family.

She thought about it, found Luke's location, and went directly to the door of the fast food restaurant where he was.

Probably because they look so much alike, when everyone in the fast food restaurant saw Elaine, their first reaction was to go to the back kitchen and call Luke out.

When Luke saw Elaine, his first reaction was fear.

Until he saw the dishes in Elaine's hands, he paused.

"Can you ask for leave?" Elaine asked.

Luke nodded, took off his work clothes, put them in the cabinet, and greeted the boss.

Elaine walked side by side with him to the alley without saying a word, until a portal appeared in front of the two of them, and on the other side was the gate of Hope's house.

"You first." Elaine said.

Luke stretched out his foot and stepped in, and after Elaine also stepped in, the portal closed.

Luke opened the door, and there was Isabel who was still sitting there, and Roanker who looked tired and dull.

After seeing Luke, the two were surprised for a moment, but then calmed down.

Luke stepped forward to clean up the countertops in the kitchen, and hastily scrubbed the pot, ready to cook.

Elaine sorted out the things she bought and tried not to use any other abilities.

This dinner was done by her and Luke together.

At least in this space, from Isabel's perspective, it is the scene she has dreamed countless times in her dreams.

Even after waking up countless times in the dream, she was left with empty despair.

Roanker knew that this was probably the first and last time.

At least until the end of the meal, it's all real.

As he thought, he pulled the rubber band around his wrist again, stretched it and let it go.Pain woke him up.

It was the richest and most well-staffed meal the Hopes had ever had.

Luke was still a little embarrassed, probably because he knew more or less about Elaine's methods, or maybe it was what Luther said to him, or because he felt ashamed of Elaine.

He just ate the whole time and didn't dare to say a word.

But everyone knew that the meal was only for Isabel's spirit.

After the meal was over, Elaine asked Roanker to take a step to talk to herself.

"I can make her forget about her daughter, and so can you," she said.

Perhaps this is the best ending.

Ronarke nodded and said, "Let her forget it. It's good for her, for Luke, and for this family."

"If you regret it, you can call me anytime." Elaine handed him the card with her phone number written on it.

She turned and walked towards Isabel.

After a burst of white light, she also disappeared in place.

This may be the best ending.

Elaine thought.
