The hospital at four in the morning——

David lowered his head and walked down the corridor of the hospital. He did not look at the robots patrolling the corridors and the heavily armed guards standing guard.

There was a strange atmosphere in the hospital late at night, which made David feel a little bit scared. To be honest, he hated this feeling.

"Mom, let's eat something first."

Taking the nutritional ointment included in the medical package, David raised his hand and knocked on the door, then scanned his identity and walked into Gloria's ward.

After entering the room, David breathed a sigh of relief. In the corridor of the hospital, being watched by robots and guards, David always felt his scalp numb. He was really afraid that the robot would suddenly attack him.

In the room, Gloria was looking at the high-walled building outside the window at the moment. She just looked at it quietly, as if waiting for something.

Seeing Gloria's appearance, David felt so sad in his heart. Well, he had to admit that he was indeed a child like Lin Wen said, and he always wanted Gloria's attention.

He only focused on himself, and because of this, he had a lot of trouble with Gloria.

But what happened today made David aware of his position in Gloria's heart.

The moment she woke up from the hospital bed, the first thing she called was "David". She didn't care less about herself just because she was with Lin Wen.

On the contrary, I...

Hearing David's voice, Gloria turned around and smiled at David. She nodded gently, and then said, "Just put it there for now. I'll eat it myself later."

David nodded obediently, placed a few bottles of nutritional ointment on a silver plate on the table, and then sat next to Gloria.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit deserted, and Gloria would look out the window or check the time from time to time.

Seeing his mother like this, David thought for a while and said, "Are you worried about him now?"

"Um..." Gloria was stunned for a moment, then nodded, raised her hand and rubbed her red hair sheepishly, she smiled and said, "You saw it, you won't make fun of mom, right?"

"Why should I make fun of you?" David said seriously.

"What, David, don't you feel like a woman in her thirties, and she still looks like a little girl..." Gloria embarrassedly stretched out her hand to touch a tuft of red hair on her forehead,

Twisting her hair with her fingers, she lowered her voice and continued: "Like a little girl, her head is full of love and so on. It would be really childish, right? You see, my son is now...

"

Gloria said, reaching out her hand to touch David's head. Then, she suddenly froze and bit her lip. Gloria was stunned. She looked at David and said, "You are already so big."

Already..."

Gloria suddenly realized that David's height had almost caught up with hers, how fast... She clearly had the impression that he was still a child who liked to hug her legs.

Ever since David entered Huangban, she had been homeless for three days. David began to live alone, and then Lin Wen appeared...

Gloria suddenly felt a little sorry for David. Did she care too little about David during this period?

"No way." David turned his head, not looking at Gloria's face, and stretched out his fingers to clasp her cheek in embarrassment. David said while clasping: "You have a better vision than me. You are right."

Yes, Lin Wen is a man worth trusting. In the past, it was my fault. I shouldn't have treated him and you like that."

After coughing, David said again: "I have been dragging you down all this time, mom."

After gathering up his courage, David turned to Gloria and said.

Go to hell with being shy or whatever.

He almost lost the person who cared about him the most in the world.

If there is something, he must speak out.

Gloria was a little moved when she heard that, and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she just reached out and patted David's head gently, and then rubbed David's hair vigorously with a smile.

"You brat, what are you talking about?"

David quickly pushed Gloria's hand away and said, "Why are you like Lin Wen?"

His hair was messed up by Gloria, and his mother's method suddenly reminded him of Lin Wen. He also liked messing up his hair, and then sat on the sofa and looked at himself arrogantly arranging his hair.

.

"drop----"

A voice sounded, and the two people who were talking heard the voice,

It's dawn.

This sound is like the sound of gears turning. After this sound sounds, Night City will transform into another mode. The beautiful night of carnival will pass, and the day of numb work will come.

"That guy Stanley will be out soon." David looked at the time and said.

Every day at this time, Stanley would run out and talk a lot of nonsense.

Unlike David's teasing, Gloria became a little nervous.

David noticed the subtle changes in Gloria, but didn't know why, but this time, David didn't ask.

"Hey-ah!"

Suddenly, a sharp male voice sounded, Gloria's body shook, and an impatient look appeared on David's face.

No need to think about it! Now, this sound will appear throughout Night City!

He is like the rooster that crows at dawn, announcing the arrival of a new day with his loud voice - Stanley!

"Good morning, Night City!

First up is yesterday’s Dead Man Lotto, well, let me see, wow!!!

After all, a total of 137 people died yesterday! Oh my God, this is different from the small gang fights before. NID actually accounted for 103 people this time! It’s a big jackpot!

I said, the guys from the Animal Gang were really powerful in fighting. They only left seven corpses, and then they killed 96 people from the Whirlpool Gang?! Good guy, did they bring a small nuclear bomb with them?

Or is it that the brothers of the Whirlpool Gang are just famous but not powerful?

Haha, just kidding, if it is really a small nuclear bomb, well, of course you all know it.

The staff who were cleaning up the battlefield last night were very lucky. There were prosthetics and firearms all over the floor. I think even if I secretly took a few and hid them in my clothes, no one would find them. Ha, guys, I fired again.

What a joke!”

Stanley's slightly funny voice sounded in the ward.

"Animals..." David suddenly turned his head and looked at Gloria. What did he hear? NID in the north of the city?

David thought of the discussions he heard in the hospital in the evening. Some people were discussing the group of people who attacked the company on the highway in the morning, saying that they were hiding in the NID...

"Mom, what did Lin Wen do?" David quickly asked Gloria. He suddenly had a suspicion, but he felt that it was impossible!

How is that possible?

Yes, how is that possible? He is just a sick and sick native, how could he do something like that...

But, but after asking for news in the afternoon, he went out in the evening, and then, something like this happened in the north of the city? In addition, my mother was inexplicably nervous now.

The dead one happened to be a member of the Animal Gang hiding in the abandoned industrial area of ​​Watson!

Reason told David that he could not connect these things together, but in the dark, there was a voice saying to David, yes, David, your guess is not wrong. You have been wrong all along.

He did.

Facing David, Gloria became a little nervous.

"Mom, tell me, what did Lin Wen do last night? You know, right?"

David swallowed and asked excitedly.

He didn't even know why he was excited!

Isn't this something to be afraid of?

"You're looking for me?"

Gloria didn't answer, but a voice sounded behind David.

At some point, a man entered the ward, carrying two bottles of water in his hand and an energy-saving bar in his mouth. His greasy hair became fresh and clean, and he also changed his clothes.

It's Lin Wen.

Seeing Lin Wen, Gloria breathed a sigh of relief.

It's great that he is fine.
