Chapter 14 Lizard Professor

Why did Sheriff Stacy take Gwen to visit the hospital? It was actually related to the fact that Professor Connors was optimistic about Gwen and wanted Gwen to be an intern in his experimental project.

Although Su Heng persuaded her and Gwen strongly rejected her proposal, Sheriff Stacy had no choice but to reject Professor Connors' proposal.

Although Professor Connors didn't say anything after knowing this, Sheriff Stacy always felt that she owed Professor Connors something.

And this morning, the New York Police Department received a call from Osborne Industries saying that Professor Connors was attacked last night and was hospitalized.

After learning the news, Sheriff Stacy, who finally got a day off, decided to take Gwen to visit Professor Connors who was hospitalized at noon.

What happened next was what Su Heng knew.

"Is it this Professor Connors?" Su Heng suddenly realized it after listening to Gwen's explanation.

"Since you are only injured, it is good to choose these desserts." Su Heng walked out of the counter and introduced several desserts in the cabinet to Sheriff Stacy.

"Well, take these two." Sheriff Stacy pointed to two of the desserts and took out her wallet from her arms: "How much?"

"What do you mean." Su Heng waved his hand quickly: "How can I accept your money!"

"Public is public, private is private, one thing is one thing." Sheriff Stacy frowned, took out more than ten ten-dollar bills from her wallet and handed them to Su Heng: "It's not easy for you to open a store alone in a foreign country, take the money."

"Well, okay." Su Heng looked at Sheriff Stacy's tough attitude, knowing that he could not refuse Sheriff Stacy's kindness, he took out five bills from these bills and returned the rest of the money to Sheriff Stacy.

"But Mr. George, for these two desserts, fifty dollars is enough."

"Yes." Sheriff Stacy took back the remaining money: "Then please help pack it."

"Okay." Su Heng responded, but before he turned back to the counter, Gwen had already handed over the takeaway box.

"Mr. Stacy~ You really shouldn't pay." Gwen took Sheriff Stacy's arm and complained to Su Heng who was packing desserts like a spoiled child: "After all, I work part-time here after school every day, and this guy doesn't give me a penny."

"How can this be the same?" Sheriff Stacy gently rubbed her daughter's head: "It is the common opinion of your mother and I to let you work here. After all, we don't want you to become a lazy fat girl."

"Where am I fat!" Gwen complained unconvinced.

"Okay, okay, of course you are not fat anymore." Sheriff Stacy said with a smile: "But it is always right to study harder."

"Humph!" Gwen tilted her head and snorted softly.

"It's already packed, Mr. George." While the father and daughter were talking, Su Heng had already packed the two desserts.

"Thank you, Su." Sheriff Stacy took the package.

"Manager, why don't you go to the hospital with us." Gwen's head appeared from behind Sheriff Stacy, and she suddenly suggested to Su Heng.

"Me? Forget it." Su Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After all, it's not closing time yet. If a customer wants to buy dessert when I leave, it will be a bit bad."

"Well, Su is right." Sheriff Stacy nodded, with a smile on her face: "But when you close in the evening, you should be free."

"Gwen and I will pick you up to eat at home then." Sheriff Stacy patted Su Heng on the shoulder: "I have told Helen that she will make lemon perch tonight."

"Really?" Su Heng showed a pleasant smile on his face: "Then I won't be polite tonight."

After Su Heng watched Sheriff Stacy and Gwen leave the dessert shop, he was in a good mood and picked up the rag to start daily cleaning of the shop.

"Lemon perch~Lemon perch~"

While Su Heng was imagining tonight's dinner and cleaning the table, which was not dirty to begin with, the radio in the shop sounded on time at this moment.

"According to the midday report of the Daily Bugle, Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries, lost contact in the Middle East on Tuesday the 13th of last week, and no news has been received so far."

"Oh!" Su Heng, who was originally wiping the table, stopped and smacked his lips with some regret: "What a pity, without Tony Stark, an old customer, the sales of desserts in the store will probably be sluggish for a while."

"I hope that Mr. Iron Man will remember to eat a few bites of desserts when he comes back."

"Ziz——"

At this time, the radio, which should have ended the report, suddenly made a buzzing sound.

"Here is an urgent report. A lizard man attacked the crowd at the New York Special Surgery Hospital. Fortunately, Spider-Woman appeared in time and repelled the lizard man in time, so there were no large casualties."

"But in this incident, one person died, five were seriously injured, and thirteen were slightly injured."

"Lizard man? Professor Connors?" Su Heng patted his head: "Damn it, how could I forget about this!"

Su Heng quickly took out his mobile phone and called Sheriff Stacy, but the busy tone on the phone gave Su Heng a bad feeling.

He turned to call Gwen, and luckily, Gwen answered his call this time.

"Manager!" Before Su Heng could speak, Gwen's muffled voice came from the receiver: "My father was attacked by the damn lizard man."

One person died, five were seriously injured, and thirteen were slightly injured.

"!" Su Heng's heart tightened, and he remembered the number of injured people mentioned on the radio just now, and hurriedly asked Gwen: "So is Mr. George's injury serious?"

"The doctor said that he was in a coma due to serious injuries"

"Okay." Hearing Gwen say this, Su Heng finally felt relieved in his heart, at least the result was not the worst one.

"I'll come right over, you wait for me in the hospital, remember to call me if you have anything." Su Heng comforted Gwen on the other end of the phone twice and hung up the phone, then went back to the cloakroom to take off his dessert shop work clothes, picked up the backpack hanging by the door, and ran out.

"Excuse me, New York Hospital for Special Surgery." Su Heng sat in a taxi and told the driver the name of the hospital he was going to.

Su Heng looked at the scenery speeding outside the car window, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes: "Professor Connors..."
