Chapter 436: Dr. Merrick finally appears!

~6 min read 1,035 words

In the afternoon.

Hawk drove, carrying Gwen, and arrived at the Stacy apartment, preparing to pick up some things Helen had prepared for the two to take back when they visited Grandpa in Tennessee tomorrow.

Originally, Helen had already made arrangements for George to look after the two little ones at home, and then she would go back to Falls Town together with Hawk and Gwen.

As a result...

There was a case.

And it should be a big case.

The reason for using "should be" was because George didn't say, it was Helen's speculation based on George's behavior these days of being so busy he could barely return home.

Although even if George was busy with a case, she could still take the two little ones to Falls Town.

But Helen was worried.

Although if something really happened to George, she would only know when she opened the door and saw someone in a police uniform wearing white gloves.

But if something really happened, if she were in New York City, she would know faster than in Falls Town, and she could also rush to her husband's side at the first moment.

And so.

Helen said she wouldn't go back, and when George finished with this case and was on vacation, the two of them would take the two little ones back to have a staggered trip with Hawk and Gwen.

So the two of them coming over tonight, besides sponging a meal, was to take the things Helen had prepared for Grandpa and bring them along.

Soon.

Hawk, whose left arm had recovered to normal after the 100-day period, performed a stylish parallel park, parking the car steadily behind Helen's family minivan.

Gwen got out of the passenger seat, and looking at Hawk, who had already changed out of that outdated and very targeted cowboy outfit and into the black casual suit she had bought him a while ago, said in a light tone: "Hawk, really, I'm not lying to you, if my mom saw you wearing that cowboy outfit, she would definitely praise you happily."

Hawk glanced at Gwen, who was saying this while taking a few quick steps to hook her arm into his, with an inexplicable smile on her face: "When you say this, can you put away the schadenfreude expression on your face?"

Gwen reacted, straightened her face, and looked at Hawk.

"Sorry."

"Too late, I've already seen it."

Hawk's mouth curled up.

He wasn't a fool. That outfit from before was something he had bought on a whim a while ago when he and Peter went out and passed by a cheap store.

Hawk had originally bought it to tease Gwen; he never intended to wear that outfit to meet Gwen's grandpa.

Just kidding.

Knowing that Gwen's grandpa used to be a farmer, and now the farm was gone, if he still wore a cowboy outfit to meet Grandpa, what difference would that make from stabbing a knife into Grandpa's lungs?

He wasn't stupid.

After a while.

Helen opened the door, looked at her daughter and future son-in-law standing at the door, warmly invited the two into the house, and then noticed that Hawk was finally not in a one-armed state today, and the smile on her face became even more beautiful.

"Is your left arm better?"

"Hmm."

Hawk smiled and glanced at Gwen beside him, and said to Helen: "Thanks to Gwen's care, to be honest, I really wanted to be injured for a few more days."

Hearing this, Helen laughed, and then rolled her eyes at Hawk.

"Don't talk nonsense, who would curse themselves to be injured."

"Mom, he is just that kind of person."

Gwen, standing to the side, hooked Helen's arm, looked at Hawk, and said with a serious pretty face: "He just wants to be sick for a few more days, so I can continue to take care of him."

Hearing this, Helen patted Gwen on the shoulder.

"Hawk is your fiancé, he's sick, shouldn't you take care of him?"

"Thank you, Mom."

Hearing Helen's words, Hawk didn't wait for Gwen to react and took the lead in speaking.

He had already proposed to Gwen, although they hadn't registered yet, that was because they weren't old enough, and because they were taking care of George, they hadn't gone to Alaska, but changing his address to call Helen "Mom" had been done long ago.

So when Hawk said this "thank you," he had no psychological burden.

Of course.

He wouldn't say it like this when George was around, after all, George hadn't been addressed as such yet.

But this wasn't because Hawk couldn't say it.

It was because he had discussed it with Gwen and Helen, to prevent George's blood pressure from getting too high, so they unanimously agreed not to change how they addressed George for the time being.

Gwen looked at her mother, who had already become Hawk's mother, opened her mouth, and then glared at Hawk.

Hawk returned a brilliant smile.

He had originally thought George would be back for dinner tonight, but he didn't return.

Sure enough.

The case must be very big.

While eating, Hawk looked at the absent George, thinking in his heart, but didn't care.

Anyway, he had the Underworld.

To put it bluntly, even if George kicked the bucket, his soul would go to his Underworld, not to Mephisto's hell.

And to put it bluntly.

If something really happened to George and he died now and went to the Underworld, it wouldn't be to suffer; he definitely wouldn't dare to send George to experience the eight great Underworld prisons he had invented.

Because if he dared to send George to the Underworld prison one second, and Gwen found out the next, she would probably blow her top and kick him to sleep in the living room.

Therefore!

If George really had an accident and went to the Underworld, it wouldn't be to suffer, but to enjoy; going a day early would just mean starting a retirement life a day early.

So Hawk didn't ask what case George was handling, and followed Gwen, comforting Helen, who seemed a bit worried, on the side. ===== CHAPTER 438 =====
