The sky on the horizon is a little red, but it is still a clear sapphire blue nearby.In the light blue mist, the towering buildings of Baltimore are connected in the sky like paper-cutting, and the whole city seems to be sleeping in a dream.When the thin morning fog was almost dispersed by the breeze, the piercing whistle broke the silence of the morning, and as the vehicles formed a running river on the street, Baltimore slowly woke up.

There is a touch of coolness in the air in early autumn, and the dawn mist is softly blurred on the windows, and the golden sunlight shuttles through the windows, soothing and lingering, casting mottled spots on the white sheets.

The warm sunlight illuminated the man's soft brown hair, and he was lying quietly beside the bed, with a peaceful look on his face that Elisa had never seen before.

Eliza scanned the bag of empty glass wine bottles piled up at the foot of the bed and the dried marks on the floor, her brain, dulled by drunkenness, slowly returning to normal.

She vaguely remembered that after breaking up with Bruce yesterday, she impulsively bought a large bag of wine and returned to the hotel, but after the first bottle of wine bottomed out, her brain was broken.In the dimness, it seemed that a figure appeared in front of her.

Elisa seemed to have had a big dream. In the dream, scenes from her childhood and the scene at the door of the ward yesterday were constantly interlaced. Christo's pale face lying on the hospital bed became the deepest nightmare in Eliza's dream.Sometimes the angry face of Charles flashed in front of her, blaming her for causing Christo to fall; sometimes the original nightmare showed a hideous face towards her, and Christo fell for no reason at her funeral. The scene repeated before my eyes...

Many people flashed in front of her eyes, everyone's face was full of anger and disappointment, fingers pointed straight at her from all directions from the void where the faces could not be seen clearly, forcing Elisa to There is no room for turning around.Noisy accusations mixed together, filling Eliza's ears, she could only hold her head, helplessly covered her ears, suppressed her voice and sobbed softly.A corner of the black cloak floated in front of her, but when Elisa turned her head, she could only catch a glimpse of a black figure leaving silently, and in the next moment, countless fingers blocked her wandering sight.

At such moments, a voice repeatedly rang in her ears——

"It's not your fault...don't blame yourself...it's not your fault..."

This voice was like a ray of light, dispelling the haze in front of him.Gradually, this voice became louder and louder, and slowly overwhelmed the voices of accusation. After a burst of white light, the deep darkness in front of him and those voices of accusation faded away like a tide.

Thinking of this level, Eliza's gaze on the side face of the brown-haired man couldn't help softening a bit.

Maybe he noticed the gaze on him, the man beside the bed frowned slightly, and opened his eyes under Elisa's gaze.

Turning around to see the blond woman who had woken up and was sitting on the bed looking at her smiling, Tony couldn't help coughing lightly, and raised his hand pretending to be nonchalant, "Yo, good morning, Eliza." Lisa explains why exactly she's in her hotel room.

Eliza didn't ask any further questions, she just watched Tony touch his nose and looked away, "Good morning, Tony...Mr. Stark."

After saying "good morning" to each other, the two seemed to have reached a tacit agreement, and both ignored the fact that Tony came to Baltimore without prior notice.

Just as Tony put on his hat and went to pick up breakfast at the door, Elisa sat at the edge of the dining table, turned on her phone and saw last night's call records, and raised her eyebrows knowingly.

The strawberry souffle was served in a small white porcelain plate, and a silver spoon was pressed down gently, leaving a shallow mark on the fluffy cake.The pink strawberry jam is clearly separated from the light yellow cake, and after putting it in the mouth, there is only a slight sweetness and a touch of egg fragrance left.

"Eliza, what are you going to do after you find out about this?"

Hearing Tony's question, Eliza paused for a moment with the hand held in mid-air, and then slowly put the cake into her mouth. The soft texture remained on the tip of her tongue, but it was no longer the same as before. tasty.

Elisa had already guessed that Tony must have known something when she was drunk last night, but facing his question, Elisa didn't know how to answer for a while.After a drunken evasion, under Tony's pressure, Elisa still had to face this cruel question.

"What am I going to do..." Eliza murmured, and the small spoon in her hand had been placed on the table at some point, "Do you also think that it was because of my ability that Christo fell ill?"

"It's not my opinion, but according to the data, this may be the most likely guess at this stage." Tony said calmly, paused slightly, and his tone was suppressed for a while, "My parents died in a car accident. leaving, the car accident was full of doubts, and I could see that something was wrong, but I still had no way to get in touch with the truth at that time. At that time, I couldn't even face the pressure from the outside world immediately after they left, and When I finally became capable, the doubts at that time were also artificially erased."

"Elisa, you are luckier than me, at least now you still have a chance to seize the opportunity."

Elisa looked at the man in front of her who had openly cut out her previous wounds, and when she thought of the truth about the death of Tony's parents, a trace of unbearableness flashed in her eyes.

After a while of silence, Elisa took a deep breath, looked into Tony's sincere eyes, and nodded solemnly, "I will cooperate with the research."

She added very seriously, "As long as it can make Chris better, it doesn't matter what I need to do."

===

Baltimore, in the hospital.

Elisa came to the ward at the same time as before, and Charles calmly nodded to Elisa like every day before, and then shook his head again.A faint gloomy flashed in Elisa's eyes, but this time she did not immediately walk into the ward, but turned slightly to the side, revealing Tony standing behind her.

Charles tensed up almost immediately, steering the wheelchair in Tony's direction.

Under Charles' vaguely vigilant eyes, Tony spoke calmly, his usual cynical face showed a calm and serious expression at this time, "I think there is one thing that needs to be discussed with Mr. Xavier."

……

After Charles and Tony left the ward, Eliza sat on the edge of the bed, gazing into Christopher's face.She seemed to have just fallen into a deep sleep, caught in a painless dream.

Eliza reached out and took Christo's hand in her own.

The scene of Christopher falling down in that unforgettable nightmare and the pale, weak and unconscious appearance of the black-haired woman appeared in turn in front of her eyes. Elisa couldn't help tightening the strength of her hands, but suddenly relaxed, Worried about hurting Christo's already fragile body.

As if she had made up her mind, Eliza's face slowly evoked the only smile this week. Although it was very light and shallow, as if it would break if touched, she was indeed smiling.

She looked at Christo who was in a coma, and said softly, "Don't worry, you will definitely wake up."

After speaking, the room fell into silence.

After a long time, a voice came out from Elisa's lips, "I will definitely not let you have trouble."

Her tone was calm, as if she was explaining an irrefutable fact, and she seemed to be swearing an oath to the person on the hospital bed.
