Chapter 35 Clark's Doubts about Life

"No, you two are heroes."

Peter ruffled Clark and Zu's hair and looked towards a few girls wrapped in towels not far away.

The other person's eyes were full of fear when he looked at Clark and A Zu.

"But... sometimes, being a hero means losing something."

He spoke to the two boys with a complicated expression.

"dad."

A-Zu had a conflicted expression, and he held the water cup with some force.

"You said that Clark and I couldn't reveal our abilities. Sorry, I...I might have made a mistake."

Unlike Clark's sense of accomplishment at this moment, Zu felt a little uncomfortable.

He felt that he should not expose his abilities.

But Clark was in danger at that time. If I didn't save him and help him push the school bus to the shore.

Clark might continue to be stubborn and push the school bus by himself.

For Clark's safety, he changed his mind and went to help him.

But that doesn't mean he thinks Clark is right.

"No, you saved Clarke, didn't you?"

He had just heard two young boys describe a scene that happened underwater.

"Although Dad thinks you should hide your abilities, since it has already happened, we shouldn't feel upset or regretful."

Peter put his hand on Zu's shoulder. "Sometimes, John, we have to make choices at important points."

He comforted A Zu, "We can make any choice, whether it is right, wrong, evil or just, but you need to know that you will have to pay the price for any choice you make."

Although he disapproved of Zu and Clark exposing their abilities, he understood this special situation.

If the two boys chose to stand by and watch, he would feel that he had spoiled them.

"cost?"

A-Zu didn't notice that his father was lost in thought. Although he didn't quite understand what his father said, he still repeated the word.

"Mr. Padraic."

Martha McConaughey, who had simply bandaged her wound, came over and greeted Peter.

With a strange look on her face, she glanced at Clark and A-Zu beside her.

The scene of the two boys pushing the school bus just now was still replaying in her mind.

But when I thought that the two boys were Peter's children, everything seemed a little more normal.

After all, this guy killed a group of gangsters by himself.

After adjusting her mood, she said to Peter in a normal tone: "I'm sorry for not protecting Clark and John."

She decided to conceal what had just happened from the two of them.

After all, Peter had rescued himself from gangsters before.

"No, I know this has nothing to do with Mr. McConaughey."

Peter said to her, "We all don't want to see a car accident happen."

Since the other party was playing dumb, Peter went along with her.

After the two of them exchanged a few words and Martha McConaughey left, A-Zu whispered to Peter, "Dad, Teacher McConaughey's heartbeat was very fast just now."

As A-Zu grows older, his auditory system becomes more and more abnormal.

Now he can easily capture the sound of a human heartbeat.

"Yeah, I know."

Peter nodded, "Maybe Mr. McConaughey hasn't recovered from the accident just now."

When A-Zu wanted to say something else, Martha and Kennett drove over.

"God!" Martha hugged Clark excitedly, "Are you okay? Clark?"

"I'm fine, Mom."

Jonathan next to him breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Peter, "Peter, what happened?"

at the same time.

Old Holly, who was standing next to the ambulance, was taking a towel from the medical staff.

While thanking the medical staff, he cast a solemn gaze at Peter, Jonathan and others in the distance.

Kent Farm at night.

Clark was having dinner with his parents.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat solemn.

Before dinner, the mother of the girl who saw Clark and Azu pushing the school bus brought her daughter to the Kent home, wanting to know if Clark had pushed the school bus up.

Of course, the result was that the Kents flatly denied it.

"Clark"

Jonathan put down his knife and fork and said to Clark who was looking down, "Remember what we said before? You have to hide that side of you. You can't let people see your abilities."

Clark bit his lip and looked up. "What should I do? Watch them die? Just like little Terry."

"Who's Little Terry?"

Jonathan was stunned for a moment, then he stopped dwelling on the question and continued, "If everyone knew your ability, everything would change. Did you see Claire's expression?"

“She was terrified.”

"I don't know."

Clark didn't understand Jonathan's intention. He said to his father, "I saved her, why is she scared?"

“Because people are afraid of the unknown.”

Clark's mood was getting worse, "Am I not a human being? Dad?"

Hearing Clark ask this, the couple were stunned and then looked at each other.

Jonathan said to him, "No, of course you are human, Clark."

"I'm not human, Dad."

Clark said excitedly: "Neither John nor I are. I am not your son, Dad. I have always known it."

Hearing Clark's words, the couple was stunned.

Jonathan thought the other party knew about the alien spacecraft hidden in the barn.

But what Clark said next made him feel a little helpless.

"I know that I should be the Godfather's son because he and I have powers that others don't have."

Ever since the zombie incident in the auditorium, when Clark witnessed Peter chopping zombies with a samurai sword and blocking the explosion with his arms, he has suspected that he is the Godfather's biological son.

After all, the Godfather, like himself, possessed extraordinary strength and had a tough skin.

Clark, who likes to imagine, even suspected that he was taken away by mistake in the hospital, which led to his current father becoming the father.

"No, of course not."

Martha quickly denied it. If she didn't explain it to Clark quickly, she might lose her innocence.

Jonathan coughed, "Clark, you are mommy and daddy's child, and you always have been."

Clark lowered his head and muttered softly: "If it were the Godfather, he wouldn't think I was wrong."

Hearing their son's mumbling, the couple looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Jonathan asked him, "Did the Godfather say you were right, Clark?"

"No, the Godfather said that my choice in that situation was neither right nor wrong, but if I did it, I might lose something."
