At the moment of entering a new life, Merlin struggles to hide the secrets of his past.Even in the face of Peggy.
Ms.
Carter, Merlin also did not reveal the existence of the Coulsons, who were trying to protect them.He didn't want his former relatives to get into trouble again because of him.But in the face of Fury's cross-examination, Merlin eventually spoke out about his cousin May.
Riley's name.On the one hand, he must use this method to dispel Fury's pursuit of his past.On the other hand, after 2 years of wandering, Merlin is also eager to return to his loved ones again.Compared to the Coulsons, May.
Riley's existence, for Merlin, means another layer.Although he and Mei have not met much, the bond of blood cannot be cut off by any disaster and distance.In an ordinary restaurant in Queens, Merlin was sitting by the window, trying to remove all other emotions from his mind, trying to calm himself down, but as the time on his watch got closer and closer to 12 o'clock, his mood became more and more nervous.Before he began wandering, almost every year, his cousin, May, traveled from New York to Wisconsin to see her cousin.At first, she was with Merlin's aunt, but when her aunt fell ill and died, her cousin walked alone.Merlin was very fond of this lively cousin when she was a child, and every year, she would bring gifts and appear in front of Merlin's eyes on time on Merlin's birthday.Merlin grows up year by year, and his cousin matures year by year.Merlin almost witnessed his cousin grow from a little girl who liked to wear floral dresses to an intellectual girl who always wore a quiet smile and round-rimmed glasses.She is a perfect inheritor of the Riley family, she is very beautiful, and every time she walks the streets of Madison with Merlin, she attracts many people's attention.It's like...
It's like being a model.Merlin still remembers that one summer, his younger brother, the silly Phil, whispered to him that when he grew up, he must marry Sister May.Hehe, Phil's wish is probably not coming true.Merlin smiled that when he was 17, his 23-year-old cousin got married, and her husband was said to be a native New York engineer.Unfortunately, before my cousin brought her husband to celebrate Merlin's birthday, Merlin had completely disappeared from this world.Falling into the memories of the past always makes time fly by, and by the time Merlin wakes up from his memory, the watch in his hand has come to 12:25.Merlin looked up with a sense of feeling, and then saw the familiar figure, accompanied by a man, into the dining room.Merlin stood up almost immediately, and he walked towards May.
Riley waved his hand as if he remembered every time he had seen his cousin in the past 17 years.Plums.
Riley also seemed to feel something at this moment, and she turned her head with her sunhat on, and saw Merlin standing at the table, waving at her.She had never seen the young man in front of her.But...
When she saw Merlin waving her hand, she suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.It seems that this scene has been seen somewhere.This scene is very familiar.This sense of familiarity that welled up in my heart made Mei.
Riley subconsciously walked towards Merlin, but the next moment, her hand was grabbed by her husband.Slightly chubby Ben.
Mr.
Parker shook his head slightly at his beloved wife, and he took a step forward, walked in front of her, took her hand, and came to Merlin's side.Mr.
Ben looked at Merlin with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a few seconds, he said in a threatening voice with a cold face, "You are Merlin?"
”"Yes, I am."
Merlin looked at his cousin, and he saw the strangeness and suspicion in his cousin's beautiful eyes, which made him slightly apprehensive.But he quickly adjusted his mood and made a "please" gesture to the two people in front of him, saying, "Sit down first, cousin...
No, Ms.
May, and Mr.
Ben.We sat down and said. ”The three of them sat on their chairs, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.In Merlin's eyes, the beautiful lady in front of him is his relative, but in the eyes of Mei and Ben, Merlin is just a stranger who suddenly appears.If it weren't for a letter from the Social Security Department that arrived at their home a week ago, informing them of Merlin's existence, they wouldn't have had anything to do with Merlin at all."
I'm sorry."
After a few minutes of silence, Merlin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.He sincerely apologized to Mei and Ben in front of him, and said, "Without your permission, I arranged this meeting privately.I know that you must have doubts in your hearts, suspicions that I am a liar, suspicion of my identity, etc., and that's normal. ”Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he took out a blood test report from the briefcase he was carrying, and handed it to Mr.
Ben in front of him.He said, "We were unmasked, and it was impossible to convince you two to accept me.Therefore, before we met, I used some less 'reasonable' means to verify it, and I hope you will forgive me. ”"What is this?"
May's husband, Ben.
Mr.
Parker, didn't care about Merlin's apology.He looked down at the test report handed by Merlin, and he asked with a frown, "Does this look like a DNA test result?"
”"Yes."
Merlin looked at Mei in front of him, and he said calmly: "This is the DNA test result of me and Ms.
Mei, I think that instead of persuading you with emotional words, it is better to compare directly with scientific data."
My genetic similarity with Mei is 15%, which is enough to prove that we are members of a family. ”Hearing Merlin's words, Mei, who was sitting next to Ben, snatched the test results from her husband's hand, and after reading it, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Merlin, and Merlin's eyes were a tenderness that could not be done."
I'm really your brother, Ms.
May."
Merlin whispered, "I didn't lie to you, I am your relative. ”"But I'm more curious about how you got my wife's blood!"
Mr.
Ben's expression is not very good-looking, which is very normal, and anyone who encounters something in front of them will feel a trace of anger."
It's a medical exam."
Merlin had already memorized the information Fury had given him, and he said calmly to the two people in front of him, "I asked some of my friends in the hospital, and I got your blood samples during your last physical examination.I know, it's hard to accept, but trust me, I didn't do it with malice...
Actually, if you're still not convinced, then we can go to any of the hospitals you have designated and get another genetic test done right now. ”"Physical examination half a month ago?"
A hint of relief flashed in Mei's pretty eyes, and she looked at her husband, who she said to him, "No wonder that medical examination came so suddenly...
It's still free, I said, how can there be such a good thing. ”"I can understand your thoughts."
Mr.
Ben nodded to his wife, but he was still unhappy, and he said to Merlin, "But I can't accept this kind of prying eyes."
Merlin, what the hell do you do?
”"I'm a public official."
Merlin took out his identification, the forged one, of course.He handed Mr.
Ben his identification, and he said, "You can verify the authenticity online, or go to the police station, I have enough time to wait." ”Merlin said to Ms.
May: "I've been waiting for 22 years, and I don't mind waiting until you really accept me." ”"Bridge and Tunnel Authority?"

Mr.
Ben pronounced the name word by word, and he looked at Merlin in confusion, and he said, "I have lived in New York for 26 years, how come I have never heard of this institution?"
”"Because we're low-key, Mr.
Ben."
Merlin lowered his head, and by the gesture of drinking water, to hide his embarrassment, he changed the subject: "Or, can I call you, brother-in-law?"
”"No, don't call it that now."
No one has ever called Ben that, so Ben is a little uncomfortable.He looked at Merlin, still with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but the data from the test report reminded him that he might indeed have an extra brother in his life."
Talk to us about you, Merlin."
Compared with her husband's suspicions, Mei herself has actually accepted this fact in her heart.In fact, the first time she saw Merlin, she noticed the bridge of Merlin's nose that resembled her, as well as those slightly weird eyes.The young man in front of her, who she had never seen before, always gave her a very familiar feeling, and if he was really her brother, then this strange familiarity could explain it.But May wasn't a stupid person after all, and she said to Merlin: "Twenty-one years ago, in 1971, I was 6 years old, and I remember it very well, Merlin.My mother got the bad news and she took me to Wisconsin, where her only brother died in a fire, along with his wife and son.My mother was very sad at the time, she didn't want to believe this fact, and my brother, who died at birth, was also named Merlin. ”Mei rubbed her forehead, and she said to Merlin, "It's not that I don't believe it, but now that all this is suddenly in front of me, and you suddenly tell me that you are not actually dead, it makes me hard to accept."
Do you understand?
”"I can understand that it's as unbearable as coming back from the dead.But to be honest, this isn't actually the first time we've chatted, cousin. ”Merlin looked at Mei with a tangled face, he smiled and said to Mei: "I don't know if you remember, 2 years ago in August, there was a phone call to your apartment...
The person on the phone, claiming to be your brother?
”"That's right!
I remember!
”May raised her head and said with a look of surprise: "I thought it was a bad joke, you mean, that phone call from Wisconsin, you called?"
”"Yes."
Merlin explained softly, "I had just graduated from college and was traveling to Wisconsin. ”"I went to the Riley family's house, which has now been converted into a park.I heard from some old people in the neighborhood that a lady of the Riley family had married away from home in New York when she was young, so I followed the news and found the phone number left by my aunt at the police station that year, and I was very excited and called. ”Speaking of this, Merlin smiled and said, "As a result, I was reprimanded by you, and I knew at that time that if I didn't show real evidence."
My smart and stubborn cousin wouldn't admit my existence, so she dragged it on until now. ”"I'm sorry, May, I should have come to you sooner.""
It's okay, it's okay."
Hearing Merlin mention the incident 2 years ago, most of the suspicions about Merlin in Mei's heart suddenly dissipated.It is impossible for a scam to start laying out 2 years ago, and even if such a huge scam really exists, it will not be aimed at ordinary middle class like her and Ben.The thought that the young man in front of her was really her younger brother swelled up in Mei's heart, as if everything was as it should be.She should have a younger brother, a younger brother who was loved by her and cared for by her.This kind of thinking cannot be eliminated as soon as it appears.Driven by this sensual emotion, May's eyes turned red, and she reached out to touch Merlin's cheek.Merlin hesitated, didn't dodge, and let May's fingers fall on his face.Mei whispered: "For so many years, have you lived alone?
”"It's not a single person."
Merlin smiled softly, and said, "When I was young, I spent my childhood in an orphanage, and I had some friends at that time.At the age of 12, I was sent to my current home, my adoptive parents...
Well, they're all nice people, and they brought me to New York.I've been living in Manhattan all these years, but I don't know that my real loved ones and I are less than a 30-minute drive away. ”"Until I found out about your presence in Wisconsin, cousin.You can't imagine how happy I was at that time, how happy I was when I knew that I would not spend my life alone. ”Merlin's true feelings were revealed, and his eyes became moist.In order to prevent Mei and Ben from noticing the abnormality of his eyes, he turned around, removed his glasses, and wiped his eyes.But when he turned back again, with a gentle smile on his face, he took Mei's hand, and he said seriously, "This is the gift of fate."
It was fate that made me find you again, cousin...
I swear, I swear I will never leave you again, I will never allow anyone else, another force, to take you from my life. ”"Uh-huh" Mei's eyes filled with tears.The power of the Three Palaces Demon can erase memories, but it can't erase sincere feelings.Even without the support of experience, the bond between the bloodlines still exists, and at the moment when Mei completely let go of her defense, the feelings that have been blocked and suppressed for 3 years erupt like a tide.She stepped forward and hugged Merlin as if she were holding a lost treasure, and she was unwilling to let go.And beside the two, Mr.
Ben, who was watching this scene, had already cried into a tearful person.The chubby, sensual man, wiping his face with a tissue, said, "Oh my God, I may be crazy, but this is so touching." ”"Merlin, from today onwards, you are a member of the Parker family.""
You don't want to live alone anymore, your brother-in-law will take care of you.Whining. ”()
