When Wayne got home, there was no one in the living room.

When his footsteps sounded, a weak voice appeared from behind the sofa: "Wayne? It's really you! It scared me to death. I thought some bad guys came in." A little head followed the leader. The gun was poked out. If it hadn't been for the sound, Wayne wouldn't have seen the muzzle of the gun pointed at him.

Ashley dropped the gun she had dug out of Wayne's weapons cabinet and ran over in a bound.

Wayne's gloomy mood suddenly cleared up, and he gently tapped her little head and said, "Didn't I tell you not to play with that?"

"But I'm scared~" Ashley felt aggrieved after hearing Wayne's scolding, and pouted and said coquettishly.

Wayne rubbed her hair helplessly and said, "But this thing is very dangerous and will hurt you. Put it back quickly."

Fortunately, all the firearms at home were unloaded and had no safety on.

But Ashley was so cautious, which both pleased and saddened Wayne.

Can't my home give a little girl a sense of security?

Wayne looked around and the sweeping view of the room told him the answer: Yes!

"Okay, let's go buy some furniture."

When he looked back, Wayne suddenly saw that the breakfast he had bought for Ashley on the table had not been eaten at all. He grabbed the little girl who ran back and asked, "Why don't you have breakfast?"

Ashley rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "I think you can't eat!"

"Don't do this to me." Wayne laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, but he still made up his mind to pinch half of her face and said, "How can you waste food? You have to finish it even if you don't like it. Tell me after you finish eating, remember?"

Ashley nodded aggrievedly and muttered as she walked towards the dining table: "The eggs are not cooked yet, and there is that yellow stuff, which is either sweet or spicy. Food from the Yao Country is really unpalatable, except for Coca-Cola."

Wayne couldn't help laughing when he heard Ashley's complaints. He took a few steps past her to pick up the morning sandwich and ate it in one bite. Then he said to the overjoyed Ashley: "This is the last time, there will be no next time." Yes, remember?"

"Remember, remember, you're so kind, Wayne." Ashley was jumping up and down with joy, her big eyes faintly glowing.

Wayne patted Ashley's head lovingly and said, "Go change quickly and go out to eat at noon."

"Which clothes should I change? The one I wore yesterday?"

Ashley happily ran back to the room and took out her favorite red plush coat.

It's still early spring recently, and it's still a bit cold in New York.I bought these coats in Washington. I bought three sets in total, and this one is Ashley’s favorite.

"Wear the blue one. I've been wearing this one for two days. I'll wear this one next time."

Despite what he said, Wayne himself has not changed his coat in the past few days, and he is an old double-standard dog.

Ashley glumly put on her clothes and shoes.

Wayne casually tied up her hair, but felt that it would look better without it, so he took off the rubber band on the back of her head.

"Forget it, that's it, no one is looking at you anyway."

Ashley pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction and muttered: "Who said no one is watching? Is it okay if someone is watching me?"

Wayne smiled and picked her up, then settled: "You can't lie to me anymore, do you hear me?"

Ashley's heart shrank, and there was a burning sensation immediately on her face. Her fingers clenched unnaturally, and she was extremely ashamed.She blushed and nodded, then hugged Wayne's neck in fear, hoping that Wayne would forget about it.

As expected, Wayne never mentioned the matter again. He was also worried that he would leave a shadow on his child or irritate her and complicate the matter.

The two left the house in silence and drove to the Upper East Side.

"Wayne~" Half an hour later, Ashley said softly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you."

Wayne nodded silently and said nothing.

Ashley looked at his expression and felt a lot more relaxed, even more relaxed than telling him about her mistake.

Soon we arrived at the clinic, and Hagrid was already waiting for Wayne at the door.

He was about to tell Wayne about Wayne's situation, but he quickly braked when he saw the little girl jumping out of the car.

Wayne keenly noticed the change in his expression and said to Hagrid: "Go in and talk, do you have a place here for her to play?"

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, the dentist next door is for children. He has toys and lollipops there. I'll ask the nurse to take her there to play."

Ashley felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong, so she could only look at the two of them suspiciously before being taken away by the nurse.

"Sister, do you know what my father is here for?"

Ashley rolled her eyes, and after turning a corner, she took the nurse's hand and asked pitifully.

The nurse was startled. She had worked here for a long time and naturally knew about Wayne's situation.It's just that Wayne deliberately only drove Ashley. It seemed that he didn't want her to know that his talk would probably attract disgust.

And this little girl is only so old, so I don’t know if she can accept that kind of news.

Before she could speak, Ashley deduced from the change in her expression that Wayne was seriously ill.

When she was in her hometown, people in white clothes often went to the village to treat the elderly. She had never seen the regretful but hesitant expressions on the doctors' faces.

The nurse was about to tell Ashley that Wayne was okay, but the little girl threw her away and ran towards the way she came.

"Wayne!"

As soon as Hagrid took Wayne into the clinic, Wayne heard a heart-rending cry from behind him.

He panicked without thinking, thinking something bad happened to Ashley.

But when she turned around, she saw Ashley running toward him with tears on her face.

Wayne's heart sank, thinking that it was the nurse who told Ashley about his situation.

Before he could get angry, he saw the little nurse also chasing after her in a hurry.

He didn't say much, just picked up Ashley from the ground and asked, "Do you want to go to the doctor with me?"

Ashley cried so hard that she was out of breath. She was speechless and just nodded, holding onto Wayne's collar with her small hands.

She looked at the expressionless Wayne, and waves of panic were attacking her brain.

Ashley looked at Wayne and seemed to see her mother who was beaten to death at the entrance of the alley not long ago.

She struggled wildly, broke away from Wayne's arms, and rushed to Hagrid, crying: "You...you are a doctor, right? Doctors can save people, right? Please save him, okay? I'll just It’s just him, please.”

Ashley didn't speak English, but her native language.

Maybe she is so panicked now that she can't speak other languages ​​and can only express her emotions in a subconscious way in her brain.

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to regretfully express his incompetence, Wayne picked up Ashley from the ground again: "It's okay, I just have a bad stomach. The doctor will just give me some medicine and it will be fine."

There was a fuss over how Ashley could believe Wayne's lies.

But Wayne ignored her, mainly because he really couldn't handle the situation, so he hugged her hard and said to Hagrid: "Let's go up. You just need to tell the truth."

Hagrid nodded repeatedly and led the way.

He didn't expect that in just a moment, someone would already appear in his office.

This is a man who looks very young, but exudes a kind of depression that only the elderly can have, as if his life is about to end, which is very strange.

When he saw Hagrid arriving with Wayne, his eyes visibly brightened.

He put down the report in his hand and came to Wayne, looking up and down.

Wayne felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, and Ashley's fuss made him feel a little bad, so he asked stiffly: "Do you recognize me?"

The man smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "I don't know you. I just saw your case and thought it was a little strange. I am also a biology major. Are you interested in going to my place for a checkup?"

Wayne frowned.

He doesn't believe in pie in the sky.

He had taken advantage twice in these two lives. One time he traveled through time, he was given a stomach cancer BUFF, and he is now suffering from it. The other system turned him into an executioner and a life-harvesting machine.

So he decisively refused: "Thank you, I'm not interested, I'm sorry."

"No, you..."

"Is there something wrong with your hearing?" Wayne was annoyed: "Or is there something wrong with my ability to express myself? Then I'll say it again: thank you, not interested, sorry! Do you understand?"

The man nodded helplessly, walked around Wayne and left the room.

Ashley was a little confused just now. After reacting, she slapped Wayne on the shoulder, frowned and asked, "Why did you drive him away? What if he is better than this doctor?"

Seeing her desperate look at the doctor, Wayne rolled his eyes helplessly, and Hagrid also shook his head helplessly, but he was not angry.

"How can anyone give you benefits for no reason?" Wayne said.

Ashley was unconvinced: "Don't you just give me benefits for no reason? You brought me back, bought me clothes, gave me food, and..."

Wayne didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "How can this be the same? How many of me do you think there are in the world?"

Ashley wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. In order to prevent her from asking questions that were difficult for him to answer, Wayne took the lead and said to Hagrid: "Has the result come out? If not, let's go have lunch first, my daughter. I guess I’m hungry.”

Hagrid hesitated and looked at Wayne, studying the expression on his face carefully.

He had received Sitwell's notice and was not prepared to tell Wayne the actual situation.

But the actual situation is actually much more complicated than the results he made up. Wayne's biological signs are very strange. Even though he has been practicing medicine for nearly 30 years, he has never seen such weird values.

He began to hesitate to follow the orders of his superiors because it was too difficult for him to make up lies.

"What's wrong? Isn't it hard to tell?"

Wayne smiled and sat down opposite Hagrid. There was no fear on his face, but he looked very calm.

But Ashley in his arms was jumping up and down anxiously.

"Doctor, is it serious?"
