Chapter 450

The young man on the hospital bed, covered in instrument leads, sat up with a look of terror.

"My God!"

Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon were startled, immediately notified Dr. Harrison Wells, and then gathered around.

"Where am I?"

"Pulse is 120, pupils are reacting to the light, look at me, look at me!" Caitlin Snow professionally examined the young man.

"Relax, everything is fine, buddy, you're at S. T. A. R. Labs." Cisco Ramon patted his shoulder, soothing his agitated emotions.

"S. T. A. R. Labs? Who are you?" The young man calmed down and looked at him, asking.

"I'm Cisco Ramon, this is Caitlin Snow, and this is her boyfriend, Su Quan." Cisco introduced them in turn.

"Ex-boyfriend," Caitlin Snow said deliberately.

Su Quan shrugged: "Her ex-ex-boyfriend, ex-ex-ex-boyfriend, and ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend—they're all me!"

"What happened? What is going on!" the young man shouted, bewildered.

Cisco Ramon: "You were struck by lightning, buddy!"

The young man was somewhat incredulous; he subconsciously turned to look at the mirror to the side. In the mirror, he was shirtless, and his six-pack abs were very prominent.

"Lightning gave me—abs—" he muttered.

Caitlin Snow: "Your muscles should have atrophied, but on the contrary, they have been undergoing cell regeneration in a chronic, inexplicable state."

"Come over here, sit down."

Cisco Ramon pulled the young man to sit down: "You were in a coma before."

"How long was I in a coma?"

"Nine months!"

Dr. Harrison Wells, sitting in an electric wheelchair, entered. When the young man looked at him, the corners of his mouth revealed a slight smile.

"Welcome back, Mr. Allen, we have a lot to talk about."

After a while, Barry Allen put on the hoodie with the S. T. A. R. Labs logo that Cisco Ramon had found for him, and then began to talk with Dr. Harrison Wells.

"I can't believe I'm here, I've always wanted to meet you." Barry Allen was very moved; he knew who Dr. Harrison Wells was and admired him greatly.

In fact, he had even attended the press conference for the particle accelerator's launch ceremony.

Dr. Harrison Wells joked: "Is that so? You really spared no effort for it."

Indeed, in order to come here and see him, he had been struck by lightning and was in a coma for nine months.

"S. T. A. R. Labs hasn't operated since it was designated a Level 4 hazardous area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency."

"Seventeen people died that night, and even more were injured; I was one of them." Dr. Harrison Wells glanced at his wheelchair.

Barry Allen sighed: "What happened?"

"Nine months ago, the particle accelerator began operation as planned. In the first forty-five minutes, I realized my life's ambition, but then an anomaly occurred. The electron volts became immeasurable, and the giant ring beneath our feet suddenly exploded."

"The energy released by the explosion shot straight into the sky, and that energy formed a storm cloud."

Barry Allen realized: "That was the lightning bolt it released that struck me..."

"Exactly."

"While treating you, the hospital experienced multiple inexplicable power outages, each time when your heart stopped beating. In fact, that was just a misdiagnosis, because your heart didn't stop, Barry."

"Actually, your heartbeat was too fast for the EKG to record."

Dr. Harrison Wells paused, then continued with a touch of self-deprecation: "Although my reputation in the local area isn't very good these days, Detective West and his daughter still allowed me to bring you here, where we can stabilize your condition."

"Iris?" Barry Allen asked excitedly.

"Yes, Iris, she often came to see you," Dr. Harrison Wells said with a smile.

Caitlin Snow chimed in: "She talks a lot."

"And she's very sexy, too," Cisco Ramon added.

At his remark, Su Quan and Caitlin Snow subconsciously curled their lips.

Because Iris often came to see Barry Allen, they were quite familiar with her.

How should one put it? In the Flash series, or rather the entire Arrowverse, she was the one Su Quan disliked the most.

Her personality was that of a pure, sanctimonious hypocrite!

The kind that is extremely annoying!

So Su Quan had always been quite cold toward her. He once said, 'The process of life, whether it's highbrow art or simple cabbage and tofu, I must taste what it's like so that this journey isn't in vain.'

However, he had absolutely no interest in Iris!

One may have no intention to harm the tiger, but the tiger may have designs on one.

Su Quan had no interest in Iris, but Iris was a sucker for a handsome face.

Su Quan was young, handsome, wealthy, and a philanthropist with a very positive reputation. Although he occasionally had some tabloid gossip, it didn't amount to much.

She had secretly tried to ask Su Quan out several times, but was rejected by him without hesitation.

Yeah, it disgusted him to no end!

Later, Caitlin Snow also saw through her intentions, and naturally, she didn't have any good feelings toward her either.

Of course, Iris's interest in Su Quan didn't last long. She wasn't shameless; knowing Su Quan wasn't interested, and seeing his on-again-off-again entanglement with Caitlin Snow, she gave up the idea and now had a boyfriend.

He was a police officer, and her father's partner at that!
