Chapter 426 Mark's Equivalent Exchange of Love

"I don't understand, Godfather, why I should go to see her."

Clark didn't understand why the Godfather asked him to get along well with Lois.

Although he had never seen the Lois Lane of his own world, his experience in the world of injustice made him aware of Lois's existence.

Even though his parallel world self ended up marrying Lois, Clark doesn't think he has to follow the parallel world's path, and he still likes Lana.

While driving to the farm, Peter said to Clark on the phone: "Just to let you get to know each other, Clark, and you think too much. Why are you so sure that Lois Lane will like you?"

Peter's words immediately silenced Clark.

He found that he had indeed taken things for granted.

I don't have a likable personality like Riven, nor am I as popular with women as The Godfather.

"But I still think that I should focus on General Zod's attack now."

Clark thought for a moment and said to Peter, "Godfather, I don't want to rely on you for everything."

"We are a family, Clark. There is no need to make such a distinction. Besides, you helped me last time when I fought Thanos."

Peter moved the phone to his right ear and said to Clark while driving the car, "Go to the Central Hospital and collect the fees for me. I paid for Louise's treatment. You can help me get it back."

Although Peter said this, Clark knew that this was an opportunity given by the Godfather to give him and Louise.

He wanted to say that Lana would always be his favorite.

But seeing Peter's firm tone, it was not easy to insist.

"Okay, Godfather, I'll be there later."

After Clark hung up the phone, he looked outside and saw that the rain was getting lighter.

Padraic Farm.

After Peter drove the car back to the farm, he arranged for Raven and Mark to rest.

Seeing Mark lying on the bed, Peter tucked the quilt into him, said good night to him, and prepared to leave Mark's room.

"dad."

Mark, who was lying on the bed, suddenly called Peter.

"what happened?"

Hearing Mark's voice, Peter turned around and looked at Mark, who was lying on the bed with a hesitant expression.

"Can you accompany me to the hospital again tomorrow?"

"Hospital?"

Peter came over, sat down and asked him puzzledly: "Why do you want to go to the hospital again?"

"Because one of my good friends, Emma, ​​is sick and in the hospital."

Mark talked about Emma.

Peter remembered that Emma was the daughter of a nearby farm, about six or seven years old, with beautiful and impressive blonde hair.

"I haven't seen her for a long time. At first she said she was always injured and her body was always covered with bruises. Then one day when we were playing together, she had a fever and was hospitalized. Today I went to her farm to ask about it, and Mr. Fox said Emma was being treated in the central hospital."

At this point, Mark looked at Peter with hope, "Dad, I want to visit her. As a friend, can you take me there tomorrow?"

Peter looked at Mark's pleading eyes and nodded, "Of course, Dad will take you there tomorrow."

"That's great, thanks Dad."

Mark thanked Peter happily.

Peter reached out and stroked Mark’s hair, “Go to bed early. If you don’t sleep well, it will be impossible to leave a good impression on Emma tomorrow.”

"I will, goodnight, Daddy, you're the best daddy in the world."

Mark said goodnight to Peter and closed his eyes to rest.

After getting up and walking to the door to turn off the light, Peter gently closed the door and walked out of the room.

The next day, early in the morning.

After breakfast, Peter drove Mark to the Central Hospital.

After entering the hospital, Peter did a quick check and found out the address of Emma's ward.

With Mark, Peter pushed the door and entered the ward.

On the bed in the ward, there was a bald-headed little girl lying, reading a picture book in the sun.

Emma was a little surprised when she saw Mark and Peter enter.

She quickly put the book away and shouted to Mark in surprise: "Mark!"

"Emma?!"

Mark was stunned when he saw Emma, ​​whose body was thinner than before and whose beautiful blonde hair had disappeared.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Did you say this?"

Emma pointed to her head and said, "I have leukemia, and all my hair fell out due to chemotherapy."

When talking about leukemia, Emma's tone was a little low.

But she saw that Mark looked very uncomfortable, and soon a smile appeared on her face again.

"Don't worry about me, Mark. The doctor said that my hair will grow back next spring and I will be cured."

She looked up and saw Peter next to Mark, and greeted him obediently: "Uncle Peter, hello, thank you for coming to see me with Mark." Peter put the gift on the table and said to her: "You're welcome, Emma, ​​where are your parents?"

"They went out to buy something. They will probably be here soon."

Emma said to Peter sensibly.

"By the way, Mark, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Then we can go swing together."

Emma looked at Mark and invited her.

"Swing?"

Mark looked into Emma's eyes, put away his sad mood, and nodded quickly, "Okay, I will push the swing for you like before."

Peter looked at the two children and knew he still had a lot to say, so he patted Mark on the shoulder and asked him to talk to Emma here, and then walked to the corridor of the hospital.

As soon as I left the ward and walked into the corridor, I saw Lois and Clark walking towards me together.

"godfather?"

Seeing Peter appear in the hospital, Clark came up to say hello with some surprise.

"It seems like you two know each other?"

Looking at the two people walking together, Peter looked at Clark.

He didn't expect Clark to become familiar with the other party so quickly.

"We just met last night. I invited Clark to do an exclusive interview for the Daily Planet. Of course, the prerequisite is that the editor will approve the quality of the manuscript. There have been so many meteorite weirdos in Smallville. I think readers will be very interested."

When Clark showed up last night, Lois wasn't too impressed with him at first.

But after learning that he was the Clark that Chloe often talked about to her, Lois pestered him and insisted that he reveal exclusive content to her.

Clark was unable to get rid of her, so he came to the hospital again in the morning and drove her to Chloe's house.

"There are indeed quite a few meteorite weirdos here."

Peter said without comment.

Louise walked to Peter curiously, and seeing that he was looking into the ward through the glass, she asked him, "Do you know that girl?"

"She's Emma, ​​Mark's friend, but she has leukemia."

Lois and Clark were both stunned when they heard that the little girl had leukemia.

Looking at the little girl inside who was talking and smiling with Mark, both of them felt a little blocked in their hearts.

After leaving the hospital, Mark became depressed.

"I made a mistake, Dad. I shouldn't have played with Emma that day. If I hadn't done that, she wouldn't have fallen and wouldn't have been hurt."

Mark felt a little guilty because all this happened because of himself.

"No, this is none of your business, Mark. You don't need to blame yourself. You should know that Emma's illness has nothing to do with you, and some things are beyond our expectations."

Peter comforted Mark.

“Is the disease also something we cannot predict?”

Mark stopped and stood on the side of the road and asked Peter.

He was holding the comic book Emma gave him and looking blankly at the red light at the intersection.

Peter sighed slightly, walked over to him and squatted down, "Yes, Mark, we will always encounter some things in our lives, sometimes good things, sometimes bad things, and when bad things come, we have to face them, especially when you can't change it."

Mark asked Peter, "What if we could change, Dad?"

“Then do your best to change it.”

Peter ruffled Mark's hair and said to him, "Mark, if bad things happen, you must try your best, so that even if you fail, you will not regret it."

"No, there's nothing I can do, Dad. I know leukemia is blood cancer and it's a very difficult disease to cure. Emma said her hair will grow back by spring, but..."

Mark stared at the comic in his hand, his eyes full of pain and confusion, "I don't know if I can wait until spring, and if Emma can wait until spring."

"If... If I could have the power of growing up like I did in the other world, maybe I could save Emma."

He raised his head and asked Peter: “Dad, will Emma leave us?”

Peter was stunned for a moment.

Then he comforted Mark Ai: "No, Emma will recover next spring, and then you will be able to see her after she is fully recovered."

"You can still swing with her, and Emma's hair will grow back in the spring."

Mark listened to Peter's words and was silent for a while.

Mark, who was calm and overly sensible, knew that Peter was comforting himself.

"I know we will all face death one day, but this is too cruel."

Mark's voice was a little choked up.

"Emma has done nothing, hasn't even started her life, and now she is suffering from this disease and may even die."

"If one day, we will also face this kind of separation, Dad."

Mark said with an extremely heavy heart: "I am an ordinary person, Dad. You are immortal, but one day I may face death."

"No, it won't be like this, Mark. Neither you nor Emma will get close to death."

Peter promised him, "Dad promises you."

After a while, Mark raised his head, his eyes slightly red, and said, "Dad, I heard that there is an equivalent exchange in the world. If I can pay some price in exchange for Emma's recovery, I am willing to do it."
