Chapter 61: London—The Eve of the Court Council
October 20, 2237, St. Francis' Hospital, London 10:30
Outside the hospital's intensive care unit, an officer with the rank of captain sat on a bench in the doorway with a sad face, next to a torn piece of shredded letterhead, which could only be made out of the fragment with the words "Order of Merit."
A door opened slightly, and a white-clad doctor walked out, and the captain stepped forward, and after receiving permission, the captain was ushered into the gas treatment room. On the hospital bed, a young girl lay on it peacefully. After the captain instructed a few nurses, he got a checklist for the girl, and although she was out of danger, even the doctor knew when she would wake up. The captain stood beside the girl's bed, hesitated for a moment, but could not say what he wanted to say.
The captain left the hospital, alone towards a less populated area, where the words "William Road" could only be made out by a sign in disrepair. But, halfway through, he stopped again, shook his head, and left again......
7:00 p.m. in a rental house in Old London, October 20, 2237
"I'm back!" The captain pushed the door open, and he locked it with great skill, and he did not need to turn on the light, because at this time there was another man in the room who was pointing a pistol at him. "If you want to shoot, then the way C alloys are made is gone forever."
The man was still pointing his pistol at the captain, but the captain ignored it before he took out the black tea from the cabinet, he put it on the table, touched the hot water that seemed to be boiling, and sat down calmly. "That's right, haven't the people of the Royal Academy always thought of themselves as high? It's not bad either, have confidence! "I almost don't recognize you in this military uniform. Scold! You still don't trust me, I've said it many times, the matter between us is private, not sent by the royal family. "The man was still holding a pistol at the Captain, and doing so would not give the Captain the fear and the usefulness." Have a seat! A cup of tea? The captain washed the tea set and handed the man a cup. The man put away his pistol and sat down as if nothing had happened. "If I were really royal, you would have been arrested a year ago. I said, I'm just here to apprentice! "Apprenticeship?" The Captain tasted it, and it was still the delicious taste of Eden. "A girl's family, come to learn this? I'm not saying anything about you, I'm just worried, with what you studied at university and at the Royal Academy, will it really help you? The captain put down his teacup and walked over to a home robot. It's okay, as long as Brother Cole can be my teacher, I don't have any problems! The young girl in civilian clothes was very excited, after all, in front of her, it was the first scientist of the Royal Academy of Sciences, Cole.
"How long?" "It's been a year!" Cole asked about the little robot, and when he got a satisfactory answer, he nodded. "You've taken good care of this place!" Cole took off his military uniform and hung it on a coat rack. Unexpectedly, what was worn inside was actually the uniform of the Royal Academy of Sciences. "If I want to change my clothes, I can wait." The girl took a sip of black tea and said to Cole. In fact, if you just look at the superficial phenomenon, the neighbors will think that there is a small couple living in this rental house, but the man is not at home all year round. Leaving the woman to live here alone, she has to pay rent for two people. "Okay!" As he spoke, Cole took an envelope from the pocket of his military uniform and casually dropped it on the table. When the girl saw Cole enter the room to change his clothes, she opened it and looked at it, and to her surprise, what was placed inside was the title deed of the house.
"Senior brother, did you buy it?" The girl looked at Cole in shock, "But this, won't it be exposed?" She put down the title deed and stuffed it back into the envelope. Unexpectedly, what surprised her was not that Cole actually bought this house, you know, at that time, the price of the house was not affordable for ordinary people, even if it was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences like a girl, the salary was only enough to rent this house, as for buying, it was simply a fantasy. Rather, he is not afraid to be discovered. "I bought it in this capacity, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's your name written on it, just when I have the fixed right to use, you have the ownership!" As he spoke, Cole had already changed into a suit: "There is a palace conference tomorrow, so I will just go to it in this capacity!" Seeing Cole's dress, even if he didn't change his appearance, the classic costume could make the girl understand her identity. "Benjamin? I always thought Benjamin was a brilliant entrepreneur, but I didn't expect it to be you, brother! Cole's sister seems to adore Benjamin, because he is the most famous philanthropist in England, and the media said that he inherited a large family inheritance, but he kept it all in the bank. Each time, he only took out a small part of the interest to subsidize the family, and the rest was donated to major charities, not to mention a few million (the price of daily necessities was not high at that time)! "Anne, don't be excited, your senior brother has many identities, and he is an all-rounder." Cole, who was dressed in a suit, took a sip of black tea and poured some for Anne, "If your parents force you to get married, I may be able to help you!" "Senior brother said with a smile, my parents have long thought that I am married, and I have at least one boyfriend." Anne came to Cole's side and sat down, her head resting gently on her brother's shoulder.
"Still, I'm a guy with a girlfriend, but it's a pity ......" Cole was silent, but Anne thought it was herself. Then she ......" "She's in the hospital......" Cole smiled bitterly and touched the ring he had already put on, tears seemed to glisten in his eyes.

I'm afraid the next time I go home will be a month later, so let's write about it first! It's all changed every month, and the holidays are even more unchanged
