Chapter 11: David's Doubts

The hospital at four o'clock in the morning -

With his head down, David walked down the aisle of the hospital, and he didn't look at the robots patrolling the aisle and the heavily armed guards standing guard.

There was a strange atmosphere in the hospital late at night, and it made David feel a little scared, and to be honest, he hated it.

"Mom, let's eat something first."

Taking the nutritional paste from the medical package, David raised his hand and knocked on the door, before scanning his identity and entering Gloria's hospital room.

After entering the room, David breathed a sigh of relief, in the hospital corridor, being watched by robots and guards, David always felt his scalp tingle, he was really afraid that the robot would suddenly attack him.

In the room, Gloria was looking out the window at the tall walled building, and she was just looking at it quietly, as if she was waiting for something.

Seeing Gloria's appearance, David's heart was so sour, well, he had to admit that he was indeed a child as Lin Wen said, and always hoped that Gloria's attention would only be on himself, and for this reason, he also had a lot of unpleasantness with Gloria.

But what happened today made David know his place in Gloria's heart,

The moment she woke up from the hospital bed, the first thing she shouted was "David", and she didn't care less about herself because she was with Lin Wen.

Instead, it's yourself...

Hearing David's voice, Gloria turned her head and smiled at David, she nodded gently, and then said, "Just put it there first, I'll eat it myself later." ”

David nodded obediently, placed a few sticks of ointment on a silver plate on the table, and sat down next to Gloria.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit cold, and Gloria would look out the window or check the time from time to time.

Seeing his mother like this, David thought for a while and said, "Are you worried about him now?" ”

"Uh..." Gloria was stunned for a moment, then nodded, raised her hand and rubbed her red hair embarrassedly, she smiled: "You can see it, you won't make fun of your mother, right?" ”

"Why am I making fun of you?" David said seriously.

"What, David, don't you think that a woman in her thirties is still like a little girl..."Gloria embarrassedly reached out and touched a tuft of red hair on her forehead, her fingers twisted the hair, she lowered her voice, and continued: "It's really naΓ―ve to be like a little girl's head full of love or something, right?" You see, my sons are now..."

Gloria said and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch David's head, and then, she was suddenly stunned, biting her lip, Gloria was stunned, she looked at David and said, "It's already so big..."

Gloria suddenly realizes that David's size is now almost catching up with her, which is really fast... Obviously, he had the impression that he was a child who liked to hold his legs.

Since David read the barren board, she has been away from home for three days, David began to live alone, and then, Lin Wen appeared...

Gloria suddenly felt a little sorry for David, did she care too little about David during this time?

"No, it won't." David turned his head, not looking at Gloria's face, embarrassedly stretched out his fingers to clasp his cheek, David said while buttoning: "Your vision is better than mine, you are right, Lin Wen is a man worthy of trust." Before, it was me who was wrong, and I shouldn't have done that to him, and you. ”

After coughing, David added, "I've been dragging you down all along, Mom." ”

Gathering his courage, David turned to Gloria.

Death to anyone who is shy or something.

He almost lost the person who cared about him in the world.

If there was something he had to say.

Gloria was a little moved to hear this, and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she just reached out and patted David's head gently, and then, with a grin, rubbed David's hair vigorously.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about?"

David hurriedly pushed Gloria's hand away and said, "Why are you the same as Lin Wen." ”

Gloria's hair was pressed messy, and his mother's method made him think of Lin Wen at once, he also liked to mess up his hair, and then sat on the sofa and watched himself tidy up his hair.

"Drip β€”β€”β€”β€”"

A voice rang out, and both men who were talking heard it,

It's dawn.

The sound is like the sound of the gears turning, and when it sounds, Night City will transform into another mode, and the beautiful night will pass and the day will come with numbing work.

"Stanley, that guy is coming out soon." David glanced at the time and spoke.

Every day at this time, Stanley would run out and talk a whole bunch of nonsense.

Unlike David's teasing, Gloria became a little nervous.

David noticed the subtle change in Gloria, but he didn't know why, but this time, David didn't ask.

"Hey-ah!"

Suddenly, a sharp male voice sounded, Gloria's body shook, and an impatient look appeared on David's face.

Don't even think about it! Now, the whole Night City will be in this voice!

He's like the rooster that crows at dawn, shouting a new day at dawn – Stanley!

"Good morning, Night City!

First of all, yesterday's Dead Man Lotto, well, let me see, wow!!

A total of 137 people died yesterday! Oh my God, this is not the same as the gang fire that was petty before, NID actually accounted for 103 people this time! It's a big jackpot!

I said, the guys of the Animal Gang are really fierce enough to fight, they only left seven corpses, and then they killed 96 members of the Vortex Gang?! Good guys, did they bring a small nuclear bomb with them?

Or are the brothers of the Vortex Gang just famous and weak?

Haha, just kidding, if it's a small nuclear bomb, well, of course you all know.

Blessed are the workers who cleaned up the battlefield last night, there are prosthetics and guns all over the ground, I think, even if I secretly take a few and hide them in my clothes, no one will find out, ha, guys, I'm kidding again! ”

Stanley's slightly comical voice rang out in the hospital room.

"Animalβ€”" David suddenly turned his head to look at Gloria, what did he hear? NID in the north of the city?

David thought of the chatter he heard in the hospital in the evening, about a group of people who had attacked the company on the highway in the morning, saying they were hiding in the NID...

"Mom, what did Lin Wen do?" David hurriedly asked Gloria, and he suddenly had a suspicion, but he felt that it was impossible!

How is that possible?

yes, how is that possible? He's just a sick and sick primitive life and death house, how could he do such a thing...

But, but in the afternoon he asked for the news, went out in the evening, and then, and then this kind of thing happened in the north of the city? Plus mom is inexplicably nervous now.

The one who died happened to be a member of the Animal Gang hiding in Watson's abandoned industrial area!

Reason told David that he couldn't tie it all together, but in the dark, there was a voice saying to David, yes, David, your conjecture is not wrong, all this time, you were wrong about him.

Facing David, Gloria became a little nervous.

"Mom, what did Lin Wen do last night? You know that, right? ”

David swallowed his saliva and asked excitedly.

He didn't even know why he was excited!

Isn't that something to be afraid of?

"You're looking for me?"

Gloria didn't answer, but a voice rang out behind David.

At some point, a man entered the ward, carrying two bottles of water in his hand, holding an energy-saving bar in his mouth, his greasy hair became fresh and clean, and his clothes had changed.

It's Lin Wen.

Seeing Lin Wen, Gloria breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that he's fine.
