[Comprehensive] Baker Street Survival Guide

"I haven't forgotten that you sent my daughter to the scene of the explosion, let a murderer approach her, and let her go looking for a dangerous psychopath. What did you think at that time, Mr. Holmes?!"

This is just a reminder, a summary of the past.

Mr. Hilde's face was gloomy, and he couldn't be bothered to hide his emotions. After all, nothing would make him happy.

"Things are constantly moving forward, and I sometimes make mistakes, which is inevitable." Mycroft shook his head lightly.Of course, he didn't forget these things, and he personally ordered each of them.

"You think Joanna doesn't care about this?"

"I just feel like we're all going to be able to get over those hurdles in the end."

Mr. Hilde sneered.He was amazed at Mycroft's ignorance in this regard, since the mistake had already been made, there was no possibility that Hugh was obliterating it.

"You think Joanna saved you because she likes you?"

"Maybe not now, but things in the future cannot be easily judged now." At least for now, there are many intersections between them.

"That's what I'm worried about...you have to tell me what Joanna is planning!" Mr. Hilde frowned.

"You've sent an agent by her side, isn't that enough?"

"Mycroft!" Mr. Hilder called out Holmes' name loudly. His expression was determined enough to convey his determination to Mycroft.

"Joanna hopes to find the person who assassinated me. She thinks that person may be bad for you." In the end, Mycroft compromised.Mr. Hilde has a part of his traits, which was eventually passed on to Joanna, the mysterious commonality brought by the blood relationship-both father and daughter have extraordinary attachments to the things in their eyes.

"So you shouldn't help her do this kind of thing!" Mr. Hilde stood up from the chair, "Do you realize how dangerous Joanna is doing! You have brought her to death three times , I don't hope that next time, I can only see my daughter's cold corpse! ... And I really don't understand, which of your aesthetics does Joanna fit, so that you are always reluctant to let her go!"

They both understood, if Mycroft really appreciated Joanna.What he should do is to stop and completely prevent the passage between Joanna and danger. — as he had done for a while.

Mycroft didn't speak, his face was a little pale, Hilde seemed almost losing his mind, the distance between him and Mycroft was less than half a meter, and the words just now were almost in his ears It exploded, and even Mycroft almost thought that Hilde was going to pick him up from the bed.

But after his anger had been vented during the questioning, Mr. Hilde retreated to a certain distance.He looked at Mycroft, whose expression remained unchanged, feeling somewhat disheartened for a moment.His intense emotions just now were just useless efforts.Consider what Mycroft was called by his opponents - the Iceman.

He was just using Joanna!It won't be long before Joanna loses her use value, and she will find that how close she was to this man before was just a vigorous illusion.All love was gone, and his daughter might be heartbroken for it.

Thinking of such a scene, Mr. Hilde's heart sank for a moment, and he strode towards the door. It was useless to say more, but he still left a warning: "Think clearly about what you are doing, this matter is far away. It's never going to end like this!"

The door of the ward was closed with a bang, and Cynthia and Eggsy who were waiting outside were startled by Mr. Hilde's gloomy expression.

No one knew exactly what Hilde had discussed with Mr. Holmes.But for a person in power who has been in power for a long time to show such emotions, it is obvious that he has hit a certain weakness of Mr. Hilde.

Eggsy and Cynthia looked at each other, and they walked into Mycroft's ward one after the other.

Mycroft in the room didn't seem to have even changed his posture.But the little blood that he had just recuperated has receded from his cheeks.

Under the white light, Mycroft was just thinking about something. Cynthia had never seen such a Mycroft—he seemed to be in a daze, and the stagnation of thinking could almost be seen from Mr. Holmes watching the pair. It is shown in the eyes facing the white wall.Everything was still at this moment, and the only thing that kept alive seemed to be the drip on the back of Mycroft's hand. The medicine kept him alive and helped him slowly recover.

Eggsy glanced at Mr. Holmes.During the short time spent together after the afternoon, he had already fully felt Mycroft's insight—he could tell about his situation in king\sman and his past, these are not the most powerful, only When Mycroft pointed out Eggsy's admiration for Harry, the hints and guidance in the words quietly showed his understanding.This made Eggsy feel a little awe.

Eggsy's gaze fell on the back of Mycroft's hand hidden under the covers.The eventual popularity of the clear infusion tubes was concealed by the quilt, and Eggsy saw the spot color difference oozing out of the quilt earlier than Cynthia. "Mr. Holmes, please let me have a look at your hand!"

He strode over to Mycroft's side and lifted a corner of the quilt without his consent.

His guess was justified—the needle tube in Mycroft's hand, which should have been properly fixed, was not in the designated position. At this moment, the back of his hand was swollen, and the needle had almost fallen off the back of his hand.

"Doesn't this hurt?" Eggsy pressed the emergency button in shock.

He retracted his previous judgment on Mycroft.He thought that the man who was actively cooperating with the treatment turned out to be a passive sabotage guy.Mr. Holmes's mood at this time should not be clear, and the face of the villain who is calm and strategizing is completely pretending to be seen by Mr. Hilde who left angrily before!

Cynthia and Eggsy were in no mood to visit Mycroft's inner world at this time.

The doctor opened the door and came in within a minute. Due to the previous accident, Mycroft was the only patient on the entire floor.The doctor was naturally quite impressed with this person.

"How is Mr. Holmes?" Eggsy asked what Cynthia wanted to ask. —Shock was certain, and when they lifted Mycroft's blanket, blood was already oozing from the wound on his stomach.

Some people's death is simple and clear, which can be seen through at a glance.And Mr. Holmes is an imperceptible slow suicide.Even Eggsy was more nervous about his physical condition than himself, because he didn't want this security mission to end before the target person left the hospital.

At least until the assassin appears!Eggsy also has no more requests...

"Mr. Holmes needs to rest. We have emphasized this point many times! He needs to stay awake enough due to work reasons, so he has refused all painkillers. Frankly speaking, excessive pain stimulation is nothing to his recuperation. Benefits!" The doctor ordered the nurse to re-infuse the fluid, and he had the authority to supplement Mycroft with some painkillers in case of emergency.This at least allowed him to have a quieter evening.

"He never took painkillers?"

"I even wonder if he took the medicine properly! You know his injury, even if it's just under his tree, but the case is always understandable! The laceration of the abdomen, the wound after the operation, This is a very serious situation, and the text description in your case is just telling you a story!" After confirming that Mycroft's vital signs were normal, the doctor didn't angrily teach them a lesson.

"It's true that he didn't take painkillers." Cynthia interjected, she didn't expect the problem to be so serious. "Because Mr. Holmes thinks that painkillers will affect his mental activity, so he refuses to use..."

"My God! Is there anyone who can make this man more obedient!" Eggsy asked the female secretary helplessly.Even when Harry was stubborn, there was Merlin who could suppress him. Eggsy believed that there was always such a person, it was just a matter of whether they were aware of it or not.

Cynthia frowned, she did think of a name - Joanna.At least when Joanna was around, things weren't so bad.In fact, it made her realize the source of Mr. Holmes' dislike for Joanna—Mycroft ate the apple puree that Joanna made at will, and the amount of that apple was almost comparable to the total amount of a meal he ate after he was hospitalized. Measured!

As for Sherlock?Cynthia didn't know how Joanna was so sure that she could find Sherlock. Every time she got feedback about Sherlock, she just found the place where he used to appear.

At this time, Mr. Hilde, who had already left in the transfer car, would not know about Mycroft's first aid for a long time in the future.

But the question he asked still remains—Which of your aesthetics does Joanna fit, so that you are always reluctant to let her go?

Mycroft, who was in a coma, could give his own answer.Most obviously, Joanna fits all the boxes he would want in a potential partner—well-born and well-bred.If she cooperates seriously, she won't have any problems in and out of social situations.Joanna is sensitive enough to things, she knows the pros and cons of things, and can even provide assistance from the side.

These are the easiest to think of, and it is because of Joanna's characteristics that when Mr. Hilde reveals that he is looking for a mate for his daughter, those young heroes in London will be moved by the news.

As for the deeper reason, it wasn't just about weighing the pros and cons, Mycroft could only describe it in an abstract way—he was moved by another soul at a certain moment.Joanna's characteristics are not reflected in her file. Mycroft took a lot of detours in the process of understanding Joanna. In the process of peeling off the truth about Joanna layer by layer, some emotions occurred. subtle changes.

It is not the traditional love at first sight, that kind of old-fashioned story should only appear in fairy tales that are dwindling in production. Sherlock Holmes prefers that Joanna is actually the kind of person he has been looking for - standing side by side and facing all the challenges in the future .She hides it so well that he skips it entirely at first.

But behind the facts, there are some things that Mycroft tried his best to repair, but he was still helpless—this time, Mr. Hilde unreservedly revealed them.Mycroft would not show his guilt, if he showed weakness to Hilde... Hilde is also a person who will open a wound and sprinkle salt in it.

The ideal state in Mycroft's heart is to reveal his guilt after he has courted Joanna.

——Behind all the speculation at the moment, what is Joanna's opinion?How she will make a decision, this question has countless points, Mycroft can only accept the most ideal ending, but he also knows that it happens to be the most unlikely one.
