Chapter 427 Because of Spring, We Don’t Dream of Death

The next day.

After Emma was released from the hospital, Mark invited her to play near the nearby swing set.

Although he still felt very upset, Mark did not show it and always had a happy smile on his face.

He didn't want to upset his friend.

Emma sat on it and Mark pushed the swing for her.

"You'll get better soon, Emma, ​​and I'll push you on the swing for the rest of my life!"

Mark said to her as they were swinging on the swing.

"Thank you, you don't have to feel sad for me, Mark, even if I don't get better, you have to be happy every day."

Emma, ​​who was wearing a beautiful hat, said to her with a smile.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

As the two were talking, an older boy from nearby came over.

After seeing Emma on the swing, he was curious and reached out to take off the hat on Emma's head.

The hat on her head was taken off, and Emma immediately covered her head in panic.

"Haha, it's a bald head, and it's a girl's bald head."

After seeing Emma's bald head, the boy immediately started to make fun of her unscrupulously.

Emma covered her eyes and cried.

Mark, who was standing next to him with his fists clenched and teeth gritted, came up and grabbed the other person's collar, wishing he could punch him in the face right away.

But he resisted the urge to hit him and yelled at him, "Shut up!"

"You have no idea what happened. Emma lost her hair because she was undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia. That's cancer. Have you ever heard of cancer? She has been receiving treatment in the hospital and suffering from the pain!"

"Idiot, if you laugh at her hair loss due to chemotherapy, will it make you happy? You can gloat, but think about what she went through. If her experience was put in your place, would you be able to bear it? You can still gloat like this?"

With a "bang", Mark pushed him back a step.

"Or maybe you don't have a brain at all, or even if you do, you're someone who will never feel the pain of others."

Looking at the stunned boy, Mark picked up the hat on the ground, gently brushed off the dust on it, put it on Emma, ​​and then helped her leave.

The boy looked at Mark and Emma leaving, speechless.

After being scolded by Mark, a deep sense of guilt filled his heart.

far away.

Peter looked at Mark who was scolding the naughty kid, and then looked at the girl who was being comforted by Mark.

He didn't expect Mark to be so sensible.

Consider things from other people's perspectives and empathize with others to the greatest extent possible.

Peter had told Zu before that this was the most difficult thing for humans to do.

But Mark can truly use his empathy to understand others and feel their pain and joy without anyone telling him.

Taking a deep breath, Peter’s originally calm heart was also disturbed by what Mark had just said.

He didn't want to care at first, but now he was suddenly touched by Mark's words.

After thinking about it, he finally turned and walked towards Emma's house.

at the same time.

Louise was currently working in the editorial office of her cousin Chloe's Torch newspaper.

Louise's eyes widened as she looked at the various bizarre news cuttings posted on the walls of the room.

"The reason why the town of hot sexy girls became the second large-scale meteor shower from Douhua Girl"

Reading the various newspaper clippings posted on the wall, Louise asked her in surprise, "Are these all your reports?"

"Yes, although it sounds incredible, this is a true story that happened in Smallville. However, many people think it is a fantasy. I have sent several articles to major newspapers, and they think I should send it to TMZ."

(TMZ: An American gossip website that often publishes bizarre news, especially news about aliens.)
"According to what you told me before, this should all be caused by the meteorite in the small town."

Louise said as she walked over to a cover of Time magazine that Chloe had collected.

The photo shows a crying baby girl sitting in front of the ruined building.

"This photo was taken during the meteor shower sixteen years ago. Her name was Lana. This photo was very famous at the time. Lana's parents died in the meteor shower."

Chloe came over and took the initiative to explain to Louise.

"Do aliens really exist? That meteor shower might contain some secrets of aliens."

Louise's gossipy heart was burning.

As an intern reporter for the Daily Planet, if I can really find big news about aliens, I might win this year's Pulitzer Prize.

Chloe shrugged, "I don't know, but maybe the aliens are among us."

"It's very possible. Do you think Peter Padrick and his family are aliens?"

Louise's mind opened up and she immediately thought of Peter.

Last night, Peter grabbed the car door open with such force that she wondered if Peter was an alien.

And Clark, I communicated with him for a long time, and I also felt that he was a little strange.

She always felt that Clark was a man full of secrets
"Maybe, but I advise you not to really investigate Mr. Patrick's family."

Chloe advised her.

"why?"

"Because I think Padraic is a good man. If he is really an alien, I will keep it a secret for him and stop you."

Chloe doubted whether Peter was an alien, but she knew that Kara was definitely an alien. The last time she and Lana were kidnapped, it was Kara who saved them from the traffickers.

Kara is also from Padrick’s Farm.

As for Peter who has helped her more than once, Chloe feels that he is not the kind of person who would do something without bottom line just for the sake of news headlines.

"You think he's a good man?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll skip Peter Padrick, but can I start with Clark? I think he's a man full of secrets, too."

She asked Chloe while holding a coffee cup.

"Of course, but"

Chloe stared at her cousin suspiciously, sizing her up, "You're not interested in Clark, are you?"

Louise didn't answer directly, she looked at the bag of coffee in Chloe's room.

"Can you make me another cup? To be honest, I never thought there wasn't a Starbucks in your town."

Walking over to Chloe's newly bought Starbucks coffee, she turned to Chloe and said, "Why? Do you like a country boy?"

"No!"

Chloe immediately denied it in a panic, "Of course I won't."

After taking a sip of coffee, Louise said to her, "I'm different. I like nerds."

"Okay, take me to the newly discovered crater you mentioned, Chloe. Maybe I'll find some news inside."

Louise asked her cousin to take her to the crater to investigate.

The next day, morning.

Louise and Chloe drove back to school together.

There was nothing valuable discovered yesterday, so she wanted to continue investigating the meteorite remains today.

Because of the car accident, she is now a little reluctant to drive. In addition, her body has not fully recovered yet, so she lets Chloe drive her.

From a distance, Louise suddenly noticed a familiar figure on an open space on the left side in front of her.

It seemed to be Peter's son who saved him the night before.

She remembered that the boy seemed to be called Mark.

Mark was chatting with Emma near the swings.

Emma, ​​wearing a hat, thanked Mark happily: "Dad told me yesterday that Mr. Padraic is willing to pay for me to go to Gotham to treat leukemia. The experts in Gotham learned about my situation and told Dad that there is a great chance of cure. Dad originally asked me to recuperate in a small town because I don't have the money to go to a big city for treatment. Thank you, thank you Mark, thank you for letting Mr. Padraic help me."

Mark was stunned when he heard Emma’s words.

Why didn't Dad tell me that he helped Emma.

Mark, who was moved by his father's actions, suppressed his emotions.

"You...you have no money for treatment, Emma, ​​why didn't you tell me?"

Mark asked somewhat uncomfortably.

"Because I don't want to trouble you. We are friends and I don't want to see you in trouble."

Emma sat on the slide and said to Mark with a smile: "Push, Mark, I want to swing for the last time, you come and help me push the swing, the next time we meet may be in spring, by then my hair will have grown."

"Push it, Mark."

"Ah."

Mark walked up and gently pushed Emma to swing forward.

Emma swung higher and higher, and Mark's mood gradually became cheerful with Emma's laughter.

Pushing Emma, ​​Mark suddenly found that the surrounding environment had changed.

The nearby ground, which had been frozen hard in winter, began to melt and lush green grass grew.

Flowers are growing out of the soil, and the cold and solemn atmosphere of winter is gradually disappearing.

The sweet smell of flowers filled his nostrils.

Mark stopped pushing the swing, turned around in surprise, and looked at the beautiful spring scene in front of him.

The flowers around him were blooming beautifully and butterflies were flying around him.

"Click" sound!
Emma's hat was accidentally knocked off by Mark's hand while she was swinging on the swing.

Mark quickly caught the hat.

He looked at Emma who was still swinging and was suddenly stunned.

Emma's beautiful long golden hair grew back and swayed gently in the breeze.

Soon Emma also felt the changes around her.

Looking at the grass that exuded the scent of spring and touching her growing hair, Emma happily shouted to Mark: "Look, Mark, look, spring is here!"

The winter gloom in Mark's heart was also dispelled. He happily held his hat and cheered with Emma.

"Hey!"

“Spring is coming!”

In the distance, Chloe stopped the car as she watched two children jumping for joy near the swing and the sudden appearance of the lush green of spring.

Louise's face was filled with shock.

Listening to the children's cheers and heartfelt smiles, they both felt touched.
