Chapter 531: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 284

"I am."

"There is a lady named Katherine Pierce downstairs; she said you asked her to come."

"Right."

Hawk's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Has she arrived?"

The officer nodded, then gripped his walkie-talkie, turning to leave the room with his companion while contacting the colleagues who had completely cordoned off the area.

The officer downstairs received the message and walked toward Katherine Pierce, who was standing outside the cordon not far away.

"You can go up."

"Thank you."

Katherine smiled, said thank you, and then, under the officer's gaze, walked into the inpatient building.

Soon.

The elevator arrived.

Ding!

After Katherine stepped out of the elevator, she barely had to look for which room she should go to; following the lingering scent of the vampire here, as well as the scent of a newly turned vampire, she arrived smoothly at the room where George Stacy was.

The two officers at the door looked at each other and opened the door.

Katherine said thank you again, and after walking in, she immediately saw the newborn vampire George, who was sitting on the hospital bed with a somewhat ashen expression.

Then she immediately shifted her gaze to Hawk, who was standing not far away.

"Mr. Phoenix."

"Hawk."

Hawk said with a smile: "You and Gwen are friends, so you are also my friend. Did you find the daylight ring?"

He didn't know if Katherine's chance encounter with Gwen was accidental or intentional.

Hawk didn't need to know either.

Still the same saying.

Judge by actions, not intentions. Regardless of what thoughts Katherine had when approaching Gwen, at the very least, as of now, Gwen didn't dislike Katherine and had even pulled her into her little shopping group.

So...

Gwen's friend is his friend.

Katherine nodded and took a daylight ring out of her pocket.

Just as she was about to speak, Gwen, who was beside her, had already hugged Katherine and said: "Thank you."

Gwen was still curious about why Hawk would call Katherine here, but after hearing about the daylight ring just now, she understood. After hugging Katherine, she took the daylight ring from Katherine's hand and ran to the side of the hospital bed.

Just as Gwen was thinking this daylight ring was a bit small, the moment it touched George's finger, it automatically expanded, and then it was smoothly and perfectly fitted onto George's finger.

The next moment.

George, who had been sitting on the bed motionless like a statue, suddenly had his pupils rapidly contract as he regained his senses, looking down once again at the palm he had placed on his chest.

It was simple.

Because he felt the heartbeat that had just stopped, but at this moment, was beating again.

The "daylight ring" forged by a witch's spell not only allows vampires to walk in the daylight but also allows vampires to restore their heartbeat and body temperature to that of a normal person.

After all, in the era of the Holy Inquisition.

Witches would be burned to death.

Vampires would also be burned to death, and it was precisely because of this that witches and vampires would huddle together.

George looked at the daylight ring on the finger of his left hand that had brought his heartbeat back.

"This is..."

"This is a daylight ring."

Gwen explained: "Dad, after you wear this ring, you won't be afraid of the sun, and Mom and others won't notice that you've become a vampire."

George looked up at Gwen.

Gwen looked at George with a nervous expression, her eyes seemingly filled with a hint of pleading.

Their eyes met.

Hawk watched this scene, looked at Katherine beside him, and said in a low voice: "Blood Apocalypse, seems to be an organization that worships vampires, have you heard of it?"

Katherine was slightly stunned.

"Blood Apocalypse?"

"Right."

"No."

Katherine shook her head: "But finding them isn't difficult."

She had been to Niuyuecheng, and she was very familiar with Niuyuecheng, but that was a matter of the last century.

After coming to Niuyuecheng this time, Katherine hadn't been as eccentric as she was when she came to Niuyuecheng in the last century.

After all, Hawk was in Niuyuecheng.

During the time she had been in Niuyuecheng, she had spent most of her time gathering the assets she had placed in various parts of the Federation over the centuries. After selling off many assets, she had also purchased a property near Palm Street.

Because this way she was closer to Hawk, and if the Original Vampire Klaus were to come over without any sense of honor, she could come to Hawk for shelter at the first opportunity.

Katherine really didn't know about this Blood Apocalypse that Hawk mentioned.

But it was fine.

Although she hadn't done anything in Niuyuecheng during this time, she still knew some vampire gathering points.

So if this Blood Apocalypse had anything to do with the vampires of Niuyuecheng.

Katherine indicated that she could find them very quickly.

And this was an opportunity.

Smart girls know how to take the initiative.

So...

After Katherine finished speaking, she looked directly at Hawk: "Should I notify you as soon as I find them?"

Hawk glanced at Gwen, who was still staring at the silent George, and nodded.

"Many thanks."

"You're welcome."

Katherine smiled, then glanced at Gwen, but chose not to greet her, instead turning and leaving the hospital room directly.

After Katherine left the room, Hawk looked at George, who seemed somewhat heartbroken, and coughed, attracting Gwen's attention.

"Gwen."

"Hmm?"

"Let's go to Howard and Simon's school later, withdraw them, and have them attend a public school."

"Hmm... huh?"

Gwen blinked, looking at Hawk, who had suddenly said this.

George also looked up at Hawk at this moment.

Hawk, with his hands in his pockets, looked at Gwen and continued: "Oh, right, and that apartment where Helen, Simon, and Howard are living now, remember to contact a real estate agent tomorrow morning, so it doesn't get auctioned off by the court next year for failing to pay property taxes."

Gwen's eyes went from confused to clear, and she quickly cooperated with Hawk's performance.

"Why would we fail to pay property taxes next year? Dad's salary and the police department's subsidy can easily cover this expense."

"You have to be alive to have a salary, what if George doesn't want to live anymore."

"... If you can't speak properly, don't speak. How could Dad not want to live?"

Gwen heard this, rolled her eyes at Hawk, couldn't help but say, and then looked at George, who was sitting on the head of the bed watching Hawk: "Right, Dad."

George didn't speak, just looked at Hawk.

"Look."

"He didn't speak."

"So, early on, sell the house that should be sold. Use the money from the sale for Helen's retirement, and if Howard and Simon really can't make it, just put them into the foster care system."

"Anyway, I won't be taking care of them."

"If you insist on taking care of them, I might even have to seriously consider whether we should get married at all."

"After all..."

"A 'brother-obsessed sister' is very scary."

"..."

Hawk ignored George's gaze and kept talking to himself. When he mentioned the "brother-obsessed sister," the expression on his face showed a very fearful look that didn't seem fake.

After all, this was the truth.

As everyone knows.

A "brother-obsessed sister" is truly scary.

Just then.

George spoke, his voice as low and serious as ever.

"Hawk, you don't need to use words to provoke me."

"Provoke?"

Hawk was slightly stunned, looked at George who had spoken, and said with a smile: "I'm not provoking you. You don't even intend to support your own family, why should I rush to take on the responsibility that should belong to you?"

George was expressionless: "I won't need you to take it on."

Gwen, standing to the side, looked at George nervously.

"Dad..."

"Don't worry."

George regained his senses, smiled at Gwen, and under Gwen's gaze, tore off the various instrument connection wires stuck to his body, then got off the hospital bed and hugged Gwen, who was looking at him nervously. He didn't dare to move too fast or too heavily, his voice gentle.

"How could I possibly abandon you and Mom and leave?"

"Dad!"

Gwen hugged George tightly, her eyes looking at Hawk, giving Hawk a big thumbs up with her expressive emerald eyes.

Hawk smiled slightly.

Just then.

The hospital room door was pushed open again, and an officer guarding the door walked in, clutching his phone, and looked at George, who had already gotten off the bed and was hugging his daughter: "Captain, someone claiming to be Ben Urich is looking for you, saying he is your good friend."

George raised an eyebrow, trying to take the phone, but suddenly realized something and froze in place.

Hawk, seeing this, took the phone from the officer, signaled to the officer, and after the officer left, set the phone to speaker mode and placed it in front of George.

George glanced at Hawk, who had said he would dare to die one second and dare to break up with his daughter the next, his gaze falling on the phone in Hawk's hand. After organizing his thoughts, he spoke in a deep voice.

"I am George Stacy."

"Captain Stacy, that's great, it seems you've recovered."

The voice on the other end of the phone was very young, but carried an incongruous old age, giving people the strange feeling of an old man speaking in a very young voice.

George frowned.

"Who are you, where is Ben?"

"I am... hehe, Captain Stacy, we are the same kind of people now, don't you know who we are?"
