"Regarding this attack, it is a pity that there are unfortunate people. The Lex Group will do its best to make up for it and actively cooperate with the police..."

On TV, the spokesperson of Lex Group's external media public relations in a suit answered their questions methodically in a serious and apologetic tone during the interview with the reporters.

Although no one expected this accident, it happened at the party held by the Lex Group after all, so it will naturally be greatly affected.However, after the Lex Group announced that they had completed the research and development of a human health drug and had passed the test, and would donate all the income from the drug for the next year, it has to be said that the impact has been reduced.

It is impossible for the dead to come back to protest, and the living will no longer be aggressive when it comes to cooperation with sufficient profits. In fact, even the Wayne Group will not have a worsening relationship with the Lex Group.

Because to a certain extent, the Lex Group can also be regarded as the victim, and when Brody Wayne is still alive, the Wayne Group can make the Lex Group give up more benefits, but if it is said that it will always be with the If the Lex Group is against it, it will make people feel unreasonable.

And Lex's external public relations are also very qualified. Whether it is the first time after the incident, or now, they have always shown a cooperative attitude, made timely speeches, and made up for it generously. The identity of the victim made people on the Internet even gradually have a good impression of this group.

The old butler sitting on the sofa looked up at his watch, then turned his head to look at the stairs, then picked up the remote control and pressed the power button.

The voice that was still chattering suddenly stopped, and the figures of the spokesperson and the reporter on the TV also disappeared along with the darkened screen, and Alfred left the sofa and came to the kitchen.

He took out the cups from the cupboard, and while washing them, he thought about the pair of brothers upstairs.

The old butler thought that no matter when the master would come out, he probably wouldn't go to bed very early, so he could prepare coffee in advance.

Thinking of what happened recently, he sighed, for some reason, maybe he had experienced too many things, and the experience brought by the years made Mr. Butler feel uneasy.

He took the cleaned cups and came to the coffee grinder, meditating on it.

When the white smoke rose from the coffee cup and the air smelled mellow, the old butler heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw Bruce walking down the stairs.

Bruce saw him too, and walked over.

"I think you probably need this." Alfred said, Bruce took the coffee cup, lowered his head and took a sip, but didn't speak, but he didn't leave.

Alfred: "Do you want to tell me something?"

Bruce was silent, rubbing the body of the cup with his fingertips, some hot temperature penetrated into his skin through contact, but it calmed him down a bit.

He looked up at Alfred: "Brody told me something just now."

Mr. Butler pretended to be listening attentively.

Bruce frowned, his expression looked a bit complicated, "He told me that in fact, he discovered the condition of his body not long after he woke up."

Alfred frowned, and immediately understood the reason for his master's expression.

They actually noticed something was wrong about the young master's physical condition at the beginning. After Superman reminded him, the something wrong became more obvious, but they originally thought that the young master was not clear about his physical condition. Got it, and concealed it so well.

The question is, how did the young master find out?

Often the premise for a patient to discover that he is sick must be because his body feels unwell, so, the young master's discomfort...

"The reason he found out is simple," Bruce answered the question in a low voice, "because he can feel pain inside his body."

"Every moment, every second, every minute, every day can be felt."

In fact, the night when the monster appeared from Gotham and Brody came to the base, Bruce was a little suspicious because of Brody's words, but he couldn't be sure, because there was no abnormality in Brody's expression.

Bruce raised his eyes and looked at Alfred, he saw the shock in Alfred's eyes, and then he was quickly covered by distress, just like what he felt at the time.

Brody concealed it so well that they didn't even expect that he could do this.

"He told me that the pain is actually not too severe, at least it doesn't affect daily life." Bruce said, but it was obvious that he didn't believe this sentence.

They didn't talk about this matter for too long, because the more they talked, the more powerless and heavy their hearts would become. Instead of being immersed in this emotion, it is better to try to think of a solution.

Just like Bruce did.

"Do you remember the Rubik's Cube, Ah Fu?"

Alfred nodded, this was the master's guess at the time, but since he brought it up now, it must mean something, "It's to the young master's body—"

"I guessed right." Bruce said calmly.

After he finished speaking, he took another sip of coffee, the smooth and deep bitterness mixed with a touch of sweetness spread on the tip of his tongue, just like his mood at the moment, not as expressed in his tone calm.

"We have to find a way, Ah Fu, so that Brody can also touch the Rubik's Cube."

Alfred: "..."

Wait, master, you must have come up with the idea of ​​breaking into S.H.I.E.L.D. again, right?

Bruce pretended not to see Alfred's expression, thinking about his communication with Brody, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sometimes, after knowing the truth, it's not just heaviness, but also some... some other feelings.

"Also, regarding this attack," Bruce turned to mention another matter, his expression tightened, his eyes flashed with thought, "I always feel that something is wrong."

……

If it is said that in this accident, the only person who can comfort Brody is probably Angel.

When the top floor was attacked, shaken, and fell, Angel was in a coma, but Superman told him that Angel's awakening was actually controlled, and his consciousness was out of ambiguity.

This also means that Angel has not been stimulated, at least there will be no psychological shadow due to it.

Compared with Brody who was transferred back to the manor due to emotional problems, the child's current situation is not bad.After confirming that there is no problem with his mental and physical conditions, the director of the orphanage has signed a consent form for surgery, agreeing to perform heart surgery on Angel.

Not long after Brody had talked with Bruce about his physical condition, he received a call from the dean.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Wayne Jr.," said the Director of the Orphanage, "but, Angel said, he wanted to talk to you, so—"

"It's okay." Brody held the phone, he leaned on the soft pillow, looked at the closed bedroom door, his expression relaxed a lot, and this emotion was also reflected in his voice, "He is a Cute boy, so I'm glad he likes me so much."

He listened to the footsteps coming from the phone, the sound of the door closing, and finally the childish voice.

"Brody."

"I'm here."

"I'm going to have an operation later, I..." Angel sat on the hospital bed, he gripped the phone tightly, and his other thin hand grabbed the bed sheet, "I..."

Brody waited patiently for him, but then heard a small sob.

"Sorry, Brody."

The eye circles of the child on the hospital bed turned red quickly, and he raised his hand to wipe away the tears, "I...I shouldn't have dragged you to see the stars..."

Brody opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say 'this has nothing to do with you,' but the moment he opened his mouth, the words swirled around his mouth, swallowed back, and turned into another sentence.

"If you're really sad—"

The child heard a low, gentle voice on the other end of the phone saying:

"Then, let Angel, who has become a healthy child, say sorry to me."

The child bit his lower lip tightly and nodded heavily, "Okay!"

Outside the ward, people came and went. A doctor put on a surgical gown and walked into the operating room. The little patient lying on the mobile bed was transferred out of the ward. He looked at everything around him with wide eyes, thinking With the agreement he made with his brother, the fear of the operation has also been reduced a lot...

Huh?

The child stared fixedly at a figure, that figure was wearing a hat, and also looked at him from a distance, the child recognized that it was the adult he saw on the top floor, called... called Aiden...

Why is he here?

Just as this question popped into the child's head, his eyes widened a bit.

This man named Aiden... seems to have changed...

He blinked, blinked again, and wanted to see more clearly, but he had already been pushed into the operating room.

After the anesthesia, Angel felt a little drowsy. He slowly closed his eyes. Before falling asleep, for some reason, that Aiden's face floated across his head again...

Ah... as if... as if he knew this face...

That is……

That is……

Ya...when...

……

"The patient's condition is stable..."

"The operation was successful..."

The child was transferred to the intensive care unit after the operation, and the news was immediately notified to those who cared about him. Everyone was waiting for him to wake up, and then told Angel that he could live a life no different from an ordinary child from now on.

The arrested gangsters began to let go, Brody's skills were no longer out of control, Bruce knew the effect of the Rubik's Cube, Lex Group was doing public relations, everything began to improve, and the haze dissipated.

Until one morning, the patient who came out for a walk found the silent figure lying on the lawn.

All the good things come to an abrupt end.
