"Are you sure you just can't sleep?"

"Of course," Bruce said, while modifying his equipment, "People will always have bad sleep quality, Fu. I won't always be like this."

Bruce stood in front of a tool table, which was filled with many things, including various parts and tools. Even when he heard footsteps behind him, he didn't stop his movements.When he was about to take the screwdriver at the side, just as he raised his hand, the utility knife fell into his palm.

Bruce just froze for a moment, looked up and walked to his side, A Fu who had just handed the things to him, quickly looked away, lowered his head to get these equipments, and seemed to be very attentive.

"Master, you have always learned things very quickly, including deception. You can be called a proficient level." Alfred's tone was also very calm, and he was still in the mood to cooperate with Bruce's movements and send those tools or parts to him for him. To the hands, but what he said was not gentle at all, even ruthless.

"But you've never been good at lying to me." Alfred said.

Bruce's movements stopped, and he looked up at his butler blankly.

However, just like Brody didn't feel intimidated when he saw Bruce's scary aura for the first time, Alfred has been with Bruce since he was a child, and at the same time spent the too difficult period together. During the period, he was not afraid of Bruce's appearance at all.

Facing Bruce's expression, the old butler continued calmly: "So I don't believe the poor quality of sleep you said at all. You are because of what happened to Master Brody that day. Am I right?"

Bruce looked at him straight, and after a long time, his expression finally changed slightly, as if he was helpless.

"You're right, Fu."

He took a deep breath, and stopped making the illusion of being addicted to transforming equipment. After throwing everything in his hand on the table, he said lightly, "I thought Metropolis was at least safer than Gotham, but actually That's not the case."

At first, Brody was not in the Metropolitan Hospital. After all, the Wayne family was based in Gotham, so Gotham Hospital was the first thing that came to mind, but after consideration, Bruce and Alfred finally decided to send Brody to the hospital. di transfer.Because Gotham is in chaos again after the death of the Wayne family leader, it's not safe.

——No, to be more precise, Gotham has never been safe.The passing of the Waynes seems to have taken away what little conscience it had and made it even crazier.

Even if Brody's hospital is protected, it doesn't mean that there will be no accidents. In comparison, other cities are indeed much better. Although it means staying away from Wayne Enterprises' sphere of influence, it also means staying away from those messes.

After the confidentiality measures were taken, there were indeed no accidents in these years.Who knew that something like this happened not long after Brody woke up.

Alfred frowned because of what Bruce said. He thought about something, carefully observed Bruce's expression, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to transfer the young master?"

"I think so." Bruce said without hesitation.Of course he hopes to transfer Brody back to the hospital in Gotham, so that his brother is within his sight, and he will use all the means he can think of to protect Brody, instead of waiting until everything is dusted like before. It was only after landing that he rushed to Brody's side.

but--

"I'm just thinking about it, Fu." Bruce raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, showing a trace of fatigue. After all, he didn't sleep much for three nights. No matter how healthy he is, he will respond, "I won't do that."

His emotions made him want to take his family under his wing and not show it at all, but his rationality told him that after all considerations, Brody's benefits in Metropolis at this time indeed outweighed the disadvantages.

Alfred felt relieved, although he thought that the master would control himself before, he was inevitably a little uncertain.

He raised his hand and patted Bruce on the shoulder, comforting, "It will be fine when the young master gets better."

At that time, presumably Brody will be back.

He's from Bruce's family, he's from the Wayne family, and he's from Gotham.

But before that—

Alfred emphasized with a straight face: "You can't stay up all night, sir."

******

Alisa has been interested in medicine since she was a child, perhaps because her parents are also doctors, and when she graduated with honors from her Ph.D., she entered the hospital where she is now.

The environment of the hospital is very good, the medical equipment is also very advanced, not to mention the treatment of doctors, anyone who knows Alisa will envy her conditions at this time, it is simply perfect.

For Alisa, the only thing that bothers her is about her boyfriend.

She and her boyfriend met in high school. At that time, Pierce was a somewhat introverted and shy person. Because of fate, Alisa finally became a lover with him.At that time, what Alisa liked to see most was her boyfriend blushing when she teased her. They cared about each other and cared about each other. Alisa, who has a somewhat strong personality, just complemented Pierce's personality.

But this situation only lasted until Pierce graduated. It didn't seem like she chose to continue her studies. After graduating from university, Pierce left the society.Due to the heavy academic load, Alisa could only contact Pierce by phone during that time, and when they occasionally met, they often had to separate after less than an hour together, which made Alisa inevitably neglect Pierce's psychological state.

When she realized it, she realized that Pierce, who was originally somewhat introverted, had become a little paranoid and cowardly.

In the beginning, Alissa tried to help Pierce. She made time for Pierce during her studies, telling him how to refuse rude requests, how to groom himself, and how to straighten his back to become more confident.Often Pierce would nod his head nonchalantly, but he would forget everything as soon as he turned his head. He was still the poor man who was pushed around by his colleagues, but not only did he not get thanks, but he was also made fun of because of his habit of bowing his waist and bowing his head.He wouldn't even refuse to borrow money from his relatives, and as a result, he had nothing left on hand, and had to rely on his parents or Alisa to support him.

The most unimaginable thing for Alisa is that she found that Pierce looked at the people around her eyes changed. He was like a creature hiding in the shadows, looking at all the men around Alisa with gloomy eyes. , as if they would do something to Alisa, have bad thoughts about her.

Of course, Pierce didn't think that Alisa would cheat, he just thought that Alisa was too nice, but his own conditions were really not that good. He always felt that there would be a man who would snatch Alisa away from him. Love Alissa, so want to stop this from happening.

Alisa struggled to understand, but tried to understand, even asking friends who knew about psychology.But these efforts of hers had little effect, and Pierce's mental state did not seem to have changed for the better.

As a result, conflicts arose, and the quarrels between them became frequent, but in the end it was always Alisa who shut up tiredly, because Pierce didn't say anything at all, just listened to her in silence, a one-sided fight It's always difficult to last for a long time.

Alisa and Pierce appeared in the garden that day because Alisa broke out again before that, and she couldn't bear it and told Pierce that if he continued like this, they could only break up.

Alisa didn't really want to break up when she said this. She just hoped to stimulate Pierce so that he could at least make up his mind to change. When she saw Pierce appearing at work, she thought it really worked.

Who knew what Pierce said was not what she wanted to hear at all. Pierce said that as long as Alisa was willing to let him stay with her, it didn't matter even if she found a new boyfriend.

At that moment, it was hard to explain Alisa's mood, anger made her throw Pierce's hand away.

And those things that happened later were beyond Alisa's imagination. She really didn't expect that the breakup she said really stimulated Pierce, but the result of the stimulation was far from what she wanted. .

"Button." Someone knocked politely outside the door of the ward.

"Please come in."

After getting permission, the person who came came opened the door and walked in, but it was the female doctor Alisa from before, but at this time she was not wearing a doctor's white coat, but everyday clothes, holding a Bouquet for visiting the sick.

She looked a little embarrassed and apologetic. After handing over the bouquet in her hand to the silver-haired butler, she looked at Brody on the hospital bed, "I'm sorry about what happened that day, if I could have noticed it in advance If things weren't right for him, things like that wouldn't have happened."

Brody smiled, "It's okay, nothing happened to me anyway."

Alisa pursed her lips. Although the other party said so, it was because he had a good personality so he didn't care about it, but Alisa herself felt sorry. If it wasn't for the appearance of Superman, who could guarantee that nothing would happen that day?

On the night after the incident, Alisa thought for a long time, and then chose to submit her resignation the next day, but was rejected. The dean even asked her to take a break with pay and come back to work after her emotions adjusted.

Alisa actually didn't know Brody's identity, but she could tell that his family background must be very good, and he didn't even vent his anger on her after being involved in this emotional dispute, which was enough to show that the other party not only had a good family background, but also had a good tutor. very good.

His parents must be very respectable, Alisa couldn't help but think so after leaving the ward, but when she thought of Pierce who was lying in another hospital and was about to be interrogated, she couldn't help showing complicated emotions.

She sighed, and after the elevator came to the first floor and opened the door, she walked out, but when she was about to leave the hospital, she saw an acquaintance.

The man was wearing a three-piece suit, and the hair on his forehead was all brushed up with pomade, revealing his deeply contoured face.He also seemed to have noticed the sight from not far away, stopped and looked over, his brows were slightly raised when he saw Alisa, and the corners of his lips curved gracefully.

He is like the standard gentleman in movies and TV.

"Why are you here, Hannibal?" Alisa asked in surprise.
