Because of James, Lydia can no longer recuperate in the hospital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAnyway, most of her injuries have healed, as long as she pays attention to the cleaning of the wound and changes the dressing on time, she can heal even if she does not stay in the hospital. So after presenting her qualifications as a doctor of medicine from Johns Hopkins University, Lydia successfully obtained the doctor's consent to be discharged, packed her bags, and returned to her home on the shores of Lake Midwood.

James and Marilyn were of course surprised to see Lydia discharged from the hospital early. But surprised, they weren't too worried. After all, Lydia had a doctor's consent before she was discharged from the hospital, and she herself was an MD from Johns Hopkins University. Both insiders thought it was feasible to be discharged from the hospital, and the two of them lay people didn't have to worry about it.

And when he walked into the door of the Li family again, he clearly felt that James and Marilyn's attitude towards him was more enthusiastic than before.

This made Zongheng feel a little confused by the second monk.

After enjoying a hearty dinner again, Marilyn and James were cleaning up in the kitchen, and asked Lydia secretly, "What's wrong with James and Marilyn?" How do I feel that something is wrong with their attitude towards me today? ”

"Too passionate, huh?" Lydia asked, holding the hot after-dinner drink.

"You see that, too?" Zongheng said that he was very surprised.

Lydia replied as a matter of course, "I'm not blind. I can certainly see how they treat you. ”

"Then you know why they ......" Zongheng didn't finish the whole question, because he felt a little shameless to continue. Anyway, what he asked, Lydia should understand, so she just asked half of it.

Lydia shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's because you've become their lucky star!" ”

"Huh?!" Zongheng looked confused. "I remember when I was in the hospital the other day, they treated me like a murderer, when did they change their minds?"

Lydia was stunned. She didn't expect that when she was in the hospital, James and Marilyn's change in attitude would be noticed by Zongheng.

I didn't say anything to him at the time! This kid is too sensitive, isn't he? Lydia thought to herself.

But since it has been detected by Zongheng, it seems too false to deny it at this time. To make amends, Lydia pushes the pot onto Moretti, who has left Midwood. She laughed dryly twice and said, "What murderer?" It's terrible to say. Moretti is to blame for this. In order to find your black material, she fanned the flames in front of my parents. Now that she has slipped away, your suspicion has been lifted. How could they still treat you like a dangerous person? ”

Lydia explained, secretly observing Zongheng's face. Seeing his relieved expression, he relieved himself and continued to explain: "I said that you are a lucky star because after I was injured this time, the General Administration decided to transfer me to work in the Chicago field office. I've been away from home for almost a decade and have never been back. With this transfer, I'm working right on the edge of my hometown and can come back at any time, so they're happy and give you credit for it? ”

"Me?!" Zongheng had known about Lydia's job transfer for a long time, but he didn't know the reason behind it. At this time, when I heard that it was related to me, I couldn't help but point to my nose, and my face was full of incredulity.

"That's right!" Lydia said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be back to Midwood this time, would I?" ”

Zongheng nodded.

"If it weren't for you going to a Chinese restaurant, I wouldn't have been hurt and would have been back in New York a long time ago. Right? ”

Although he felt that such a statement seemed to imply that he was a "disaster star" who caused trouble, Zongheng still nodded.

"After the Peace Hotel shooting, the General Office felt the need to increase the FBI's presence in the Chicago area. I happened to be right here, so I transferred my job directly. You see, if you want to say that it all has something to do with you, it doesn't make sense, does it? ”

Unbeknownst to Lydia, Lydia was actually hiding her true work goals. In his opinion, Lydia's statement made logical sense, so he nodded his head in acquiescence.

Seeing this, Lydia suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Ever since discovering that Zongheng has an extraordinary memory, Lydia has always been afraid that she will say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing in front of him. Other people's wrong words and deeds of others may be completely forgotten after a while, but it is terrible for a person like Zongheng to be able to remember everything meticulously. God knows when she said half a wrong sentence or did half a wrong thing, and he remembered it. Once it's time for the occasion, being turned out is a big deal.

Lydia remembers that when she received an order from the General Administration, she was told very clearly that in order to prevent Nemo from rebelling, she must not be made aware that he had become a key object of protection by the FBI.

Finally, through a closer relationship with Nemo, he grabbed this good errand one step ahead of Moretti. Lydia couldn't imagine what would happen if Nemo accidentally learned the truth.

Lydia knew that Moretti's Bichi wouldn't give up Nemo's fat so easily. At this moment, she must be hiding in an unknown corner silently watching her and Nemo!

……

The next morning, while Zongheng was alone in the restaurant on the first floor carrying a dictionary, a taxi stopped in front of the lawn outside the gate.

Through the clean glass window, I saw a blonde woman stepping out of a taxi. She was carrying a rucksack on her back, and she looked very sassy and neat.

The woman walked straight through the paved path on the lawn, without knocking, and pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mom! I am back! The woman shouted at the house as she put down her bag.

Listening to the voice, the woman is still very young. When she speaks, her voice is similar to that of Lydia.

As she recalls, Lydia also has an older brother and a younger sister. Presumably this is Lydia's sister Hannah, who is a Ph.D. student at the University of Chicago.

Sure enough, Lydia, who was upstairs in the study and didn't know what to do, heard her sister's voice and ran down in a hurry. While the people were still on the stairs, she shouted urgently, "Hannah! Is that you? ”

Zongheng noticed that Hannah's body suddenly froze when she heard Lydia call. She didn't let go until Lydia ran in front of her and embraced her in her arms with both hands.

"Lydia......" Hannah muttered as she called her sister's name.

But the call stopped in the ears of Zongheng, and it didn't look like the joy of the sisters reuniting after a long absence, but like ...... After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a suitable adjective.

But anyway, the two sisters reunited after a long absence, hugged each other for a while and did not separate, while he, an outsider, sat on the sidelines and watched, feeling very embarrassed no matter how he thought about it.

So, Zongheng deliberately let out a cough to remind them that he was still in the house.

Hannah had no idea that there were outsiders in her house. Startled, she hurriedly pushed Lydia away and looked at Zongheng.

"Who are you?" Hannah stared at Zong in disbelief.

"Hello!" Zongheng waved at her, "I'm Nemo." You're Lydia's sister Hannah, right? ”

"......" Hannah didn't respond, just turned her head and looked at Lydia with an inquiring gaze.

Lydia then remembered that Hannah didn't know there was an extra guest in the house. She hurriedly introduced, "Hannah, this is Nemo." For some reason, he will be staying with us recently. Nemo. This is what I told you before, my sister Hannah. ”

Zongheng noticed that when Lydia introduced him, Hannah made a small frown. This made him realize that Hannah did not agree with the fact that he was temporarily living in the Li family.

He hurriedly stepped forward to shake Hannah's hand and said, "Hello! I'm Nemo. Hear Lydia say that you're doing a Ph.D. in psychiatry at the University of Chicago? Lydia and I had planned to visit Professor Pierce in Chicago in the near future. Unexpectedly, Lydia was injured in an unexpected situation, which delayed her stay at Midwood. ”

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Hannah is not happy that there is a stranger in her house, and she can't attack in front of the vertical and horizontal. What's more, Zongheng hinted at her in and out of his words that he was just staying here temporarily and would not stay here for a long time, which also calmed her emotions to a certain extent.

So, Hannah also made a polite appearance, shook hands with Zongheng and said, "Hello! I didn't expect Lydia to bring a child home. So there was a bit of an overreaction just now. ”

She turned back to Lydia and asked, "Where's Mommy?" ”

"She seems to have gone to church for an event and won't be back until the afternoon." Lydia said, "Hannah, it's not the weekend, why are you back?" ”

"I was contacted by a former high school classmate last night to say that my dad was attacked by a student in class. I called my dad and he said he was all right, just a false alarm and told me not to worry about anything. He didn't tell me anything else. I thought about it all night, but I was still worried, so I asked Professor Pierce for leave early in the morning and hurried back. What about Dad? Went to school? Are you sure he's really okay? Hannah said.

"It's fine. Just a bit of a surprise......" Lydia told Hannah what she had learned from Jack yesterday.

After hearing this, Hannah was very angry and scolded: "There are some such people at the University of Chicago, which is not reasonable at all!" The best way to deal with them is to beat them hard, and they will never dare to talk nonsense again! ”

"Hannah!" Lydia let out a soft cry in surprise.

……

When Hannah was tidying up in her room, she leaned over to Lydia and said, "Your sister doesn't look like you at all. ”

Lydia smiled inexplicably, and said, "She is luckier than me and Ness, she has inherited more of my mother's appearance genes, except for her black eyes, everything else is indistinguishable from that of a Caucasia. ”

Lydia didn't go on, but from her words, she felt more or less that people of different colors might be treated differently in this country.
