Chapter 417: Hawk, with a fractured left arm (First update!)

Evening time!

The Stacy apartment.

"Helen."

"Oh, God!"

After opening the door, Helen looked at Hawk, who had followed Gwen inside, and immediately let out an exclamation: "Hawk, what happened to you?"

With his left arm in a cast and supported by a sling, Hawk said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing, I accidentally fell while changing the curtains."

Helen covered her mouth and exclaimed again.

Hawk, meeting Helen's gaze of genuine concern, suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

But...

It was all Gwen's fault.

Hawk glanced out of the corner of his eye at his fiancée, who had entered the room first.

Gwen ignored Hawk's look and stared straight ahead: "It's fine, Mom. The doctor said it's a minor fracture; it will be better after a month of rest and recuperation."

Hearing the commotion, George also came down from the stairs on the second floor at this moment.

Helen hurriedly called out to George: "George, come quickly, Hawk is injured."

George walked over, his gaze landing on the cast and sling on Hawk's left arm.

"What happened?"

"A small matter."

Hawk was concise; after all, Gwen hadn't told him much, and he didn't know exactly what George and Gwen had discussed.

Therefore!

Speaking less was the right move.

In any case, he already had a persona of being taciturn and not good with words.

"Just like what was said on the phone, while changing the bedroom curtains, I didn't stand steady and fell, so we went to New Amsterdam Hospital immediately."

Gwen took over the conversation, looking at George: "Otherwise, what do you think I was doing running to the hospital with Hawk that night? Sightseeing?"

Yes.

When they sent Sharon Carter to New Amsterdam Hospital that night, they were seen by someone—to be precise, they were seen when they were returning from the hospital—and the patrol officer who saw them happened to be from the 21st Precinct, so George found out.

His daughter went to the hospital at night?

This was a big deal.

George immediately called Gwen to ask about the situation.

Tell the truth?

That was definitely out of the question. If George knew she had come face-to-face with the notorious Hydra and had even escaped two threats from them, he would definitely go crazy.

Moreover, Commander Victoria Hand and others were at their home at the time; if George had come over, it would have been truly impossible to explain.

Thus, in a flash of inspiration, Gwen instantly fabricated a very reasonable excuse.

Hawk's left arm was fractured, and they had gone to the hospital to get a cast and sling.

This was the reason why Hawk was in this getup.

At the time, hearing Gwen say this, Hawk was stunned and speechless: "Then why am I the one injured, and not you?"

Gwen's explanation for this was impeccable.

"I've lived at home for so many years without getting injured, but less than a year after getting engaged to you, my left arm gets fractured. How do you think Dad would react if he found out?"

"... He would take you back."

Hawk was silent for a while before giving this answer.

Put yourself in his shoes.

If he had a daughter in the future, and she ran off with a wild boar and even cohabited, only for her arm to be fractured in less than a year, and she had to run to the hospital in the middle of the night...

Hiss!

Hawk would explode.

Without a doubt. ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
