Chapter 646

The fire phoenix came quickly and went quickly; in the blink of an eye, it had completely disappeared from the sky above the library.

It seemed as if everything just now had been an illusion.

Gwen looked at the Ancient One.

The Ancient One smiled slightly.

"Would you like some tea?"

"..."

When Hawk opened his eyes again, he found that he had arrived once again in that slightly dilapidated but warm house everywhere.

This was the place where he and his sister were born.

Located in Brooklyn, situated three blocks away from Steve Rogers' former residence, it was a typical American building that looked unremarkable from the outside.

But this was also the only remaining loophole on his own timeline that couldn't be automatically repaired by the Phoenix Force and required him to manually repair it.

Hawk looked around, then listened to the sound coming from the bedroom inside, and after a flash of perspective, he passed through the door and arrived in the bedroom.

The blonde woman and the bearded man were leaning on the bed talking.

It was mainly the bearded man talking, while the blonde woman was gently stroking her already large belly, listening with a smile.

The content of the chat was nothing more than the bearded man painting a pie.

Simply put, he was describing to his wife that after the child was born, he would definitely work harder, striving to move from Brooklyn to Manhattan as soon as possible. By then, they would have a big house, a lawn in front of the house, a garden in the back, and even a swimming pool. In the future, they could take the child swimming in the backyard, and then invite friends and relatives to have a barbecue in the backyard.

The bearded man described the picture of the future vividly.

The blonde woman looked at him with a gentle smile, expressing that she believed in him and that he would definitely be able to lead their family out of poverty.

The woman stroked her belly: "Son, did you hear that? Your dad can't wait to take you swimming after you grow up."

The bearded man also carefully touched the woman's belly with those somewhat rough big hands, his voice low and carrying a sense of responsibility: "Son, when you grow up, I'll take you drinking and hunting."

As he spoke.

The bearded man then looked at the woman: "I've already found a new job, unloading cargo at the dock container factory. The salary is twice as high as the previous one."

Upon hearing this, the blonde woman was slightly stunned and looked at the bearded man.

"Container factory, isn't that place rumored to be some gang..."

"I'm just a worker, I'll just unload my cargo."

The bearded man grinned: "Although it's more tiring than the previous job, the salary is also higher. I've calculated it; the extra salary is just enough to buy milk powder and pay for your medical expenses."

Upon hearing this, the blonde woman.

"But I don't want you to be so tired."

"Not as tired as you."

The bearded man touched the woman's belly and looked at the blonde woman tenderly: "Amy, I will definitely work hard to let us live a good life."

Amy Chloe.

This was the blonde woman's name.

Very soon.

Time flew by, and it came to the day the bearded man had the accident.

Hawk watched the bearded man kiss Amy goodbye, walk out of the house in high spirits, watched the bearded man drive away in that dilapidated, rusty second-hand car, and looked at Amy, who was standing at the door holding the infant version of himself, watching the bearded man leave.

He thought for a moment, and the moment he turned around, he was already sitting in the back seat of the bearded man's dilapidated car.

There were two infant safety seats in the back seat.

They looked old, but seemed to have been carefully maintained.

Hawk's gaze fell on the books related to architecture on the man's passenger seat, and next to them was a library card from the New York Library.

The name on the card was Andrew Chloe.

This was the bearded man's name.

Hawk then looked at Andrew Chloe, whose face showed no disgust for going to work, but only a yearning for a better life in the future.

He hadn't fast-forwarded time here these days in order to find the time loophole here.

So...

Hawk once again witnessed his and his sister's birth, and at the same time witnessed how poor but warm this family was.

Amy Chloe, like his sister, had congenital heart disease, so she was abandoned shortly after birth and used free medical care to roughly repair her heart before adulthood.

But she couldn't do heavy work, especially after he and his sister Anya were born, she was even weaker than before.

So the burden of the whole family fell on Andrew Chloe.

However...

He was very optimistic.

Hawk had seen more than once that after Andrew came back from work, he was full of fatigue, but after pushing open the door, he would always have a warm smile on his face as he walked to the crib and picked up himself and his sister Anya to kiss them.

Whenever this happened, he also liked to sit on the sofa and watch the scene of Andrew and Amy chatting around the infant version of himself and Anya.

Because this scene was exactly the scene Anya often fantasized about after she knew they had no mom and dad.

So—

Hawk seemed to understand why the loophole in this time couldn't be repaired.

He followed Andrew quietly after work, watched Andrew buy milk powder, clothes, and toys from a convenience store with the salary issued this week, and then left the convenience store.

Hawk looked at the quiet, deserted alley right next to the convenience store.

He knew very well what would happen next.

Because this alley was the end of Andrew's time.
