Chapter 427 Because of Spring, We Don’t Dream of Death
The next day.
After Emma was discharged from the hospital, Mark invited her to play near the nearby swing.
Although he was still very upset, Mark did not show it, and his face was always filled with a happy smile.
He didn't want to make his friend unhappy.
Emma sat on it, and Mark pushed the swing for her.
"You will get better soon, Emma, and I will push the swing for you for the rest of my life!"
Mark said to her while swinging on the swing.
"Thank you, you don't have to be sad for me, Mark, even if I don't get better, you have to be happy every day."
Emma, wearing a beautiful hat, said to her with a smile.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
As the two were talking, a slightly older boy nearby came over.
After seeing Emma on the swing, he was a little curious and reached out to take off the hat on Emma's head.
After the hat on her head was taken off, 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 made fun of her unscrupulously.
Emma covered her eyes and cried.
Mark, who was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, came up and grabbed the other person's collar, wishing he could punch him in the face immediately.
But he resisted the urge to hit him and yelled at him: "Shut up!"
"You don't know what happened at all. Emma lost all her hair because of chemotherapy for leukemia. That's cancer. Have you 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 over her misfortune, but think about what she has experienced. If her experience is put on you, can you bear it? Can you still gloat over her misfortune like this?"
With a "bang", Mark pushed him back a step.
"Or you don't have a brain at all. Even if you have a brain, you are a person 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 who were leaving, and was speechless.
After being scolded by Mark, he was filled with deep guilt.
In the distance.
Peter looked at Mark who was scolding the naughty child, and then looked at the girl who was 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.
Peter had said to A Zu before that this was the most difficult thing for humans to do.
But Mark, without anyone telling him, he can really use his empathy to understand others and feel their pain and joy.
Taking a deep breath, Peter's originally calm heart was also disturbed by Mark's words just now.
Originally he didn't want to care, but now he was suddenly touched by Mark's words.
After thinking about it, he finally turned around and walked towards Emma's house.
At the same time.
Louise was in the editorial office of her cousin Chloe's Torch Newspaper at this time.
Looking at the various strange news paper cuts posted on the walls of the room, Louise widened her eyes.
"From Douhua Girl to Hot Sexy Hot Girl Town's Second Large-Scale Meteorite Shower"
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 the true story that happened in Smallville, but 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: American gossip website, 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 town."
Louise said as she walked to a cover of the American Time magazine collected by Chloe.
The photo shows a crying baby girl sitting in front of a ruined building.
"This photo was taken during the meteorite shower sixteen years ago. Her name is Lana. This photo was very famous at the time. Lana's parents died in that meteorite 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 gossiping heart was burning.
As an intern reporter for the Daily Planet, if she could really find some big news about aliens, she might win this year's Pulitzer Prize.
Chloe shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, but maybe aliens are around us."
"It's very likely. Do you think Peter Padrick's family are aliens?"
Louise's mind was open, and she immediately thought of Peter.
Last night, Peter grabbed the car door open with a single blow. This level of strength made her wonder if Peter was an alien.
And Clark, she had been communicating with him for a long time, and she also felt that he was a little strange.
She always felt that Clark was a person full of secrets.
"Maybe, but I advise you not to really investigate Mr. Padrick's family."
Chloe advised her.
"Why?"
"Because I think Padrick is a good person. If he is really an alien, I will keep it a secret for him, and I will 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 her from the traffickers.
Kara was also from Padrick's farm.
For Peter, who had helped her more than once, Chloe felt that he was not the kind of guy who would do something without bottom line just for the headlines.
"Do you think he is a good person?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then I'll skip Peter Padrick, but can I start with Clark? I think he is also a person full of secrets."
Holding a coffee cup, she asked Chloe.
"Of course, but"
Chloe stared at her cousin suspiciously, looking her over, "You are not interested in Clark, are you?"
Louise did not answer directly, she looked at the coffee bag in Chloe's room.
"Can you make me another cup? To be honest, I never thought there was no Starbucks in your town."
Walking to the Starbucks coffee that Chloe had just bought, she turned to Chloe and said, "What? Do you like a country boy?"
"No!"
Chloe immediately denied in panic, "Of course not."
Tasting the coffee, Louise said to her, "I'm different. I like nerds."
"Okay, take me to the newly discovered meteorite crater you mentioned, Chloe. Maybe I'll find some news in it."
Louise asked her cousin to take her to the crater to investigate.
The next day, in the morning.
Louise and Chloe drove back to school together.
There was no valuable discovery yesterday, and she wanted to continue investigating the meteorite remains today.
Because of the car accident, she is now a little reluctant to drive, and since her body has not fully recovered, she asked Chloe to drive her.
From a distance, Louise suddenly found a familiar figure on a vacant lot on the left side of the front.
It seemed to be Peter's son who saved her the night before.
She remembered that the boy seemed to be called Mark.
Mark was chatting with Emma near the swing.
Emma, wearing a hat, thanked Mark happily: "Dad told me yesterday that Mr. Padrick was willing to pay to help me go to Gotham to treat leukemia. The experts in Gotham learned about my situation and told Dad that there was a great chance of cure. Dad originally asked me to recuperate in a small town and had no money to go to a big city for treatment. Thank you, thank you Mark, thank you for letting Mr. Padrick help me."
Mark was stunned when he heard Emma's words.
Why didn't Dad tell him that he helped Emma.
Mark, who was moved by his father's actions, suppressed his emotions.
"You have no money for treatment, Emma, why didn't you tell me?"
Mark asked with some discomfort.
"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, and my hair will grow out by then."
"Push, Mark."
"Yeah."
Mark walked up and gently pushed Emma 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 frozen hard ground nearby in winter began to melt and grow green grass.
Flowers grew out of the soil, and the cold atmosphere of winter gradually disappeared.
The sweet smell of flowers entered his nasal cavity.
Mark stopped pushing the swing, turned around in surprise, and looked at the beautiful scene of spring in front of him.
The flowers around him were blooming brilliantly, and butterflies flew around him.
"Snap" 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 out again, swaying gently with the breeze.
Soon Emma also felt the changes around her.
Looking at the grass exuding the breath of spring and touching her growing hair, Emma happily shouted to Mark: "Look, Mark, look, spring is coming!"
The winter haze in Mark's heart was also dispelled. He happily held the hat and cheered with Emma.
"Hey!"
"Spring is coming!"
In the distance, Chloe stopped the car, witnessing the two children cheering near the swing and the sudden appearance of the green spring.
Louise was shocked.
Listening to the children's cheers and smiles from the heart, the two felt touched in their hearts.
