Chapter 426 Mark's Equivalent Exchange of Love

"I don't understand, Godfather, why I should go see her."

Clark didn't understand why his godfather asked him to have a good relationship with Lois.

Although he has never seen Lois Lane in his own world, his experience in the unjust world made him aware of Lois Lane's existence.

Although his parallel world self finally married Louise, Clark doesn't think he has to follow the parallel world path. He still likes Lana now.

While driving the car to the farm, Peter said to Clark on the mobile phone: "Just to let you get to know each other, Clark, besides, you think too much, why are you so sure that Lois Lane will like you? "

Peter's words immediately silenced Clark.

He found that he did take it for granted.

I don't have the physique that people like like Raven, nor am I as popular with women as the Godfather.

"However, I still think that I should focus on General Zod's attack now."

Clark thought for a while and said to Peter: "Godfather, I don't want to rely on you for anything."

"We are a family, Clark. We don't need to be so clear-cut. Besides, you helped me when I fought with Thanos last time."

Peter put his cell phone to his right ear and said to Clark while driving the car: "Go to the central hospital and collect the fees for me. I paid for Louise's treatment, and you can help me get it back. "

Although Peter said this, Clark knew that this was an opportunity created by his godfather for him to get along with Louise.

He wanted to say that his favorite would always be Lana.

But seeing Peter's firm tone, it was hard to insist anymore.

"Okay, Godfather, I'll be there later."

After Clark hung up the phone, he looked outside at the decreasing rain.

Padrick Farm.

After Peter drove the car to the farm, he arranged for Raven and Mark to rest.

Seeing Mark lying on the bed, Peter tucked him in with a quilt, said good night to him, and prepared to leave Mark's room.

"dad."

Mark, who was lying on the bed, suddenly called Peter.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Mark's voice, Peter turned around and looked at Mark, who was lying on the bed with a hesitant expression.

"Tomorrow, can you accompany me to the hospital again?"

"Hospital?"

Peter came over, sat down and asked him doubtfully: "Why do you want to go to the hospital again?"

"Because a good friend of mine, Emma, ​​got sick and was in the hospital."

Mark talked about Emma.

Peter remembered Emma as the daughter of a nearby farm, six or seven years old, with beautiful and impressive blond hair.

"I haven't seen her for a long time. At first she said she was always injured and her body was always bruised and bruised. Then one day when we were playing together, she had a fever and was hospitalized. Today I went to her house After asking about it at the farm, Mr. Fox said Emma was being treated in the central hospital.”

Having said this, Mark looked at Peter hopefully, "Dad, I want to visit her. As a friend, can you take me there tomorrow?"

Peter looked at Mark's pleading eyes and nodded, "Of course, dad will take you there tomorrow."

"That's great, thank you Dad."

Mark happily thanked Peter.

Peter reached out and stroked Mark's hair, "Go to bed early. If you don't sleep well, it will be impossible to leave a good impression on Emma tomorrow."

"I will, good night daddy, you are the best daddy in the world."

Mark said good night to Peter and closed his eyes to rest.

After getting up and walking to the door to turn off the light, Peter gently closed the door and walked out of the room.

The next day, early morning.

After breakfast, Peter drove Mark to the Central Hospital.

After entering the hospital, Peter knew the address of Emma's ward after a brief search.

Taking Mark with him, Peter pushed the door open and entered the ward.

On the bed in the ward, a little girl with a bare head was lying on the bed, holding a picture book and reading in the sun.

Emma was a little surprised when she saw Mark and Peter entering.

She quickly put the book away and shouted to Mark in surprise: "Mark!"

"Emma?!"

Mark was stunned when he saw Emma, ​​who was thinner than before and whose beautiful blond hair had disappeared.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Did you say this?"

Emma pointed to her head, "I have leukemia and lost all my hair due to chemotherapy."

When talking about leukemia, Emma's tone was a little low.

But she saw Mark's sad expression, and soon a smile appeared on her face.

"Don't worry about me, Mark. The doctor said my hair will grow back next spring and my illness will be cured."

She looked up and saw Peter next to Mark, and greeted him obediently: "Hello, Uncle Peter. Thank you for coming to see me with Mark."

Peter put the gift on the table and said to her: "You're welcome, Emma, ​​where are your parents?"

"They went out to buy things and will probably be here soon."

Emma said to Peter sensibly.

"By the way, Mark, I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and then we can go swinging together."

Emma looked at Mark and invited her.

"Swing?"

Mark looked into Emma's eyes, put away his sadness, and nodded quickly, "Okay, I will push the swing for you like before."

Peter saw that the two children still had a lot to say, so he patted Mark's shoulder and asked him to talk to Emma here, and then walked to the corridor of the hospital.

Just after leaving the ward and walking to the corridor, he saw Louise and Clark walking together.

"Godfather?"

Seeing Peter appear in the hospital, Clark came up to greet him in surprise.

"It seems that you know each other?"

Looking at the two people walking together, Peter looked at Clark.

He didn't expect Clark to get familiar with each other so quickly.

"We just met last night. I invited Clark to do an exclusive interview, which will be published in the Daily Planet. Of course, the premise is that the editor will approve the quality of the manuscript. There are so many meteorite weirdos in Smallville. I think readers will be very interested."

After Clark came last night, Louise didn't like him at first.

But after knowing that he was the Clark that Chloe often talked to her, Louise pestered him and insisted that he reveal exclusive content to her.

Clark was pestered by her and couldn't get rid of her. He came to the hospital again in the morning and drove her to Chloe's house.

"There are indeed many meteorite weirdos here."

Peter said without comment.

Lois walked to Peter curiously and saw that his eyes were always looking at the ward through the glass, so she asked him: "Do you know that girl?"

"She is Emma, ​​Mark's friend, but she has leukemia."

Hearing that the little girl had leukemia, both Lois and Clark were stunned.

Looking at the little girl who was talking to Mark with a smile, both of them felt a little blocked in their hearts.

After leaving the hospital, Mark's mood became depressed.

"I made a mistake, Dad, I shouldn't have played with Emma that day. If I hadn't done that, she wouldn't have fallen and wouldn't have been injured."

Mark blamed himself for causing all this to happen because of his own reasons.

"No, it's none of your business, Mark, you don't need to blame yourself, you should know that Emma's illness has nothing to do with you, and some things are not what we can predict."

Peter comforted Mark.

"Is the disease something we can't predict?"

Mark stopped and asked Peter while standing on the side of the road.

He was holding the comic book Emma gave him and staring blankly at the red light at the intersection.

Peter sighed slightly, walked to him and squatted down, "Yes, Mark, we will always encounter some things in our lives, sometimes good things, sometimes bad things, when bad things come we have to face them, especially when you can't change it."

Mark asked Peter: "What if we can change it? Dad."

"Then do your best to change it."

Peter rubbed Mark's hair and said to him: "Mark, if bad things happen, you must do your best, so that even if you fail, you will not regret it."

"No, I can't do anything, Dad, I know leukemia is blood cancer, a disease that is difficult to cure. Emma said that her hair will grow out in spring, but..."

Mark stared at the comic in his hand, his eyes full of pain and confusion, "I don't know if I can wait until spring, whether Emma can wait until spring."

"If... If I can have the power of growing up like in another world, maybe I can save Emma."

He raised his head and asked Peter: "Dad, will Emma leave us?"

Peter was stunned.

Then he comforted Mark: "No, Emma will recover next spring, and you will be able to see her fully recovered."

"You can still swing with her, and as spring comes, Emma will grow new hair again."

Mark listened to Peter's words and was silent for a while.

Mark, who was calm and overly sensible, knew that Peter was comforting himself.

"I know that one day we will face death, but it's too cruel."

Mark's voice was a little choked.

"Emma has done nothing, not even started her life, but she has to suffer this kind of pain and may even face death."

"If one day, we will also face this kind of separation, Dad."

Mark said with an extremely heavy heart: "I am an ordinary person, Dad, you are immortal, one day I may face death."

"No, it won't be like this, Mark, neither you nor Emma will get close to death."

Peter promised him: "Dad promises you."

After a while, Mark raised his head, his eyes slightly red and said: "Dad, I heard that there is equivalent exchange in the world. If I can pay some price in exchange for Emma's recovery, I am willing to do so."
