Superman is my primary school classmate

☆、Chapter 20 The New World Behind the Door ([-])

Laura had been waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital. After the driver came back, he quickly went upstairs with the packed meals.When she walked to the ward with the lunch box, she slowly stopped.Strangely, he looked up at the house number on the wall, and then at the young man standing at the door. He did not go to the wrong room.

The young man in casual clothes was followed by a tall and strong bodyguard. The young man seemed a little unwell, and coughed lightly with a handkerchief on his mouth. He watched the movement in the room through the small glass window of the door. Clenching his jaw, his expression is calm.

Afraid of disturbing the young man, Laura asked politely in a low voice, "Are you—?"

The young man moved, and then took off the handkerchief covering the lower half of his face, revealing a handsome face, with a smile and a friendly nod, "Mrs. Canave, long time no see."

"Mr. Luther." Laura said in surprise.

"Auntie, just call me Lex."

The red-haired young man in front of him has been catching up with the dark horse in recent years, Lex Luthor. Laura had heard of him before meeting him, and Brandy admired his vision.Not only has he created a reputation in the business world alone, but he is also quite prestigious in the field of technology.

Since then, because of some partnerships, Laura also had a face-to-face meeting with Brandy in his reception room, and was deeply impressed by Lex's eloquence and foresight.

Laura greeted Lex, "Lex, are you here to see Sean?"

Lex coughed twice, and the bodyguard guarded the door with his hands behind his back.

He said guiltily: "To be honest, this accident was entirely caused by me. I was invited to give a lecture at Duke University, and it happened that Sean also came to listen to my lecture. Because Mr. Canav I also wanted to thank Mr. Canave for his help, so I invited Sean to the Ponventure Mansion for dinner. I thought it was just a safe event, but I didn't expect..."

Laura interrupted Lex, looking at Lex who felt guilty for herself with motherly loving eyes, the young man's tearful confession made people feel distressed, "It's not your fault, child, you are also like this victim of the incident."

She also learned from the police that this terrorist attack was directed at Lex aggressively.

Lex shook his head, "But if it wasn't for me... Sean wouldn't be hurt either. He should be healthy and healthy on campus at this time. My main purpose this time is to personally apologize."

Lex's sincere apology made Laura couldn't bear to blame, so she lowered her tone and comforted her.He has always been a busy person, and it is very rare to be able to see Sean, so why would Laura make a fuss about it.

She held the doorknob, pushed the sliding door open, entered the ward before Lex, and saw the big boy sitting indoors who couldn't be ignored at first glance.

Laura greeted Clark, who had been taking time to visit Sean these days.During the conversation between the two, Laura learned that Clark's father died young and his mother was the only one in the family.Clark and Sean are about the same age, they are classmates, and they are even neighbors in Smallwell's house. Laura also asked Laura to take care of Clark more verbally, hoping that his mother would be free to visit Anna more often, so that she would not be lonely .

Laura put the things on the table, wondering that Sean was still sleeping at this time, and complained that he didn't know how to take care of the guests, but instead let the guests take care of them, always bothering others.

Clark turned his back to block Sean who was still asleep and unconscious, smiled at Laura to express his displeasure, and then held Sean's wrist in an invisible place and secretly exerted force.

The pain caused Sean to roll his eyes twice, and slowly opened his eyes. He turned his neck stiffly and made a cracking sound. He felt his hand tighten, and looked up in the direction of his arm, in a daze. Still in a wandering state: "... Where is Anna, are we back?"

"Don't be sleepy."

Laura, who was walking straight to the bed, just heard this sentence, wiped Sean's cheek with a smile, and missed the opportunity to see Clark's panicked expression.

Fearing that her son would be hungry, Laura hurriedly took out the food from the thermal bag one by one, cleaned up the fruit plate on the dining table, put the food in a bowl, and kissed Sean on the forehead, "Look, baby, who is here?" I count on you."

It was only then that Sean noticed that besides himself, Clark, and Laura, there was a fourth person in the room. Clark felt Sean's gaze, and slowly stood up, revealing the person behind him. Sean was shocked, "It's you?"

It was Lex Luthor who came to see Sean. Sean was surprised. He thought that the two met just by chance, but he didn't expect to meet again.

Laura was angry: "Mr. Luther took time out of a long way to visit you, why are you talking like that?"

Said and moved a chair for Lex.

Lex sat down after wiping with a paper towel, and nodded his thanks, "Sean, your accidental injury was entirely due to me. If I don't come to express my condolences, I'm not too sorry."

"Don't bother." Having been told so, how could Sean be embarrassed, and evaded twice, "You are so busy, my injury is not serious, and I can be discharged from the hospital in two days."

Lex and Sean also had a brief exchange on what happened later that day. Sean also lamented Lex's luck. He didn't meet a robber when he fled. escorted home.

Chatting, because Laura was worried about Sean's injured hand, she used a spoon to feed him herself, but under the watchful eyes of outsiders, Sean felt a little embarrassed to let his mother feed him at such an age, his eyes flickered.

Lex's brows were crooked, and he turned his eyes away with a smile, which made him notice that the young man sitting next to him looked very familiar. He thought about it carefully but didn't know when he had seen it.

"Clark Kent." Clark and Lex looked at each other and introduced themselves first.

Lex frowned slightly, but when he opened his mouth, he felt a tickle in his throat. He resisted the desire to cough and stretched out his hand to hold Clark, "Mr. Lex Luthor, Mr. Kent, looks familiar, where are we—?"

"Duke Ponventure." Clark was not inferior to others because of his part-time job, and added: "I served you when you and Sean were eating."

In this way, Lex had an influence, it was the guard, he still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a series of coughs.

Clark frowned and handed him a water glass, "Mr. Luthor, what's wrong?"

Lex turned his head and covered his mouth and refused, "It's been a bit cold recently, don't worry, it will be fine soon."

After clearing his throat, he stood up and said goodbye to Sean and the three of them, "I'll be free in a few days, and I'll visit you when it's convenient for you to go back to school, Sean. I'll stay here soon, so that your injury doesn't get worse." Fortunately, it was still infected by me. It's a pleasure to know you, Mr. Kent. Mrs. Canave, I will take my leave first."

"Wait, I'll see you off." Laura wiped her hands and put on her coat quickly.

Lex politely declined, "Don't bother." His car is in the parking lot downstairs.

After repeated refusals, Laura insisted on her original intention again and again. Lex was embarrassed and finally agreed to Laura's request.

Laura pleaded with Clark to tidy up the tableware and send her to the parking lot on Lax Road, and she will be back in a while.

Of course Clark responded without saying a word, "Don't worry, Auntie. I'm here."

Reassuring, Laura walked out the door following Lex's figure.

Sean stiffened his neck and saw the figures of the two people disappearing at the door, and then let out a long breath and collapsed on the bed, "Finally left."

Laura has always been fed as a child, making him mistakenly have the illusion that he is not an injured hand, but a critically ill patient paralyzed on the bed. It was a big mistake.

Clark hesitated for a while, sweating on his palms, and asked, "Luther...do you know him?"

"Why do you say that?" Sean wondered why Clark was interested in Lex. After thinking about the relationship between the two of them, he realized that he actually knew very little about him. "It's okay. He said he was his father's job." Partner, I don't know either, it's just that we had dinner together last time at the Duke of Ponventure, and we only know each other's names. Is there something wrong with him?"

Clark didn't know how to describe it. He spread out his palm and held it tightly again. The muscles on the back of his hand were firm and powerful, and the bones were distinct. He had tried his own grip strength, and the basic strength was more than 900KG.

Just now, "When shaking hands with him, something was wrong."

For the first time in so many years, Clark felt this way.

There was a sudden loss of strength and fatigue in the body, and there was a feeling of being unable to exert strength all over the body.It's like a soldier who is armed to the teeth, but turns into a helpless baby the second before the war comes.

"There must be something wrong here." Clark said to himself in his heart.

And the source of the problem pointed to the red-haired man—— Lex Luthor.

"It may also be my illusion."

Clark shook his head, messing with his disorganized thoughts.

With a plaster cast on his left hand and a needle inserted in his right hand, Sean was struggling to grab the unfinished lamb ribs with his mouth, trying to scrape up the rest of the meat, but his lack of skill caused the food in his mouth to fall directly into the soup bowl. A table of soup.Clark sighed secretly, and decided to start with the mess in front of him first.

After clearing the table, Clark found a towel in the toilet for Sean to use to dry his hands.

"Kukou—" Someone knocked on the door at this time.

Clark speculated that it might be a nurse who came to make rounds, and said directly, "Please come in."

This is a ward with a single room and an independent toilet. It is located on the right hand side near the door. Clark opened the door so that he could see Sean's situation conveniently.

Strange thing, after the door opened, no one came in for a long time.

Clark poked his head out of the toilet, the sliding door of the ward had been opened, and there was a bald old man in a wheelchair outside the porter's room.

"What do you need?" The bald old man has been standing at the door. It seems that there is no hospital to come in. The central hospital is built on an area of ​​200 hectares, and the inpatient department of the main building has more than ten floors. Clark doesn't look like he is dressed like a hospitalized patient. , but sitting in a wheelchair, maybe also a patient who has just been discharged from the hospital because he got lost.

The bald old man was wearing a dark suit and a platinum silk tie, looking dignified and upright.There was an all-metal wheelchair under him. With his hands resting on the armrests on both sides, he said to Clark pleasantly, "Excuse me, is this the ward of Sean Canave?"

"Who is it!"

Sean in the back room heard someone looking for him, but he couldn't see anyone, so he sat on the bed in doubt and shouted loudly.

Clark hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The bald old man immediately smiled, and the corners of his eyes were squeezed into creases due to muscle tension, "I finally found a place. Young man, can you push my wheelchair for me, it's a little inconvenient to control when I'm old."
