Two days later, New York, Hell's Kitchen.Merlin, who had not slept all night in the alchemy laboratory, had just finished breakfast when he heard a knock on the door.He looked at the time, then opened the door, and saw Zarvin.
Johnson and his daughter, Daisy, were standing in the doorway.The doctor was smiling and holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, while Daisy was carrying some snacks and knick-knacks, and when she saw Merlin open the door, the girl shouted happily, "Uncle Merlin, Uncle Merlin, when is my mother coming?"
”"I guess it'll take a while."
Merlin smiled and reached out and patted Daisy on the head, and said, "Your mother is far away, and she still needs to prepare." ”"Is this bouquet for Jiaying?"
Merlin glanced at the large bouquet of roses in Zarvin's hand, and said, "Do you play romance with a rough man like you?"
”"No, it's just courtesy, Merlin."
Zarvin replied solemnly: "Daisy wants to see her mother, I haven't seen her for more than ten years, this sudden meeting will definitely be a little awkward, so it is necessary to bring gifts."
Speaking of which, I haven't officially thanked you for helping me find my baby daughter. ”"It's nothing."
Merlin turned to the side to let the father and daughter in front of him into the living room, and as he closed the door, he said, "It's just my job." ”He looked back at Zarvin and Daisy, a few days of getting along with each other was not enough to make the strange father-daughter relationship suddenly become very good, it takes time for people to get along with each other, and for feelings to grow and develop.There is still a slight strangeness between Daisy and Zarvein, but Zarvein, whose memories and personality have been recalibrated, is now patient enough to wait for his daughter to fully accept his existence.In the past few days, he has been living near his house in Brooklyn with Daisy, and I heard that his old house has begun to be renovated internally, and maybe in a while, Daisy will have her own real home in New York.Judging from the expression on the little girl's face that secretly looked at Zarvin from time to time, she seemed to be looking forward to it.Daisy spent the first 10 years of her life in orphanages and on the move, and she finally had the opportunity to see her parents, like other orphans, and to grow up with them like ordinary children."
Zarvin, can you help me buy some ingredients?"
Merlin suddenly said to Daisy's father: "Jiaying will come over later, I hope to stay at home for a meal, I want to clean up the room, and you should be familiar with Jiaying's tastes, so this matter will be left to you, no problem, right?"
”"Okay, you take care of my precious girl."
Zarvin stood up, said a word of advice to Merlin, smiled and waved goodbye to Daisy, pushed the door open and walked out.Merlin sat on the couch and didn't move to clean up the room, he turned to look at Daisy, who looked at him too."
Do you like Zarvin?"
Merlin asked, and Daisy bit her lip, and the child thought for a few seconds before nodding."
My dad, he's...
He was a bit eccentric and often forgot things, but he was very nice to me, very patient, and always changed the way to amuse me.I'm still a little uncomfortable, and being with him is different from what I've felt in other foster homes, but I should like him, after all, he's my dad. ”"That's good."
Merlin nodded, he looked at Daisy, and he said, "I said before, I have something to tell you, Daisy, about your mother. ”"Your mom isn't an ordinary person, Daisy, she's more of a...
The wizard is the witch described in the stories you have heard, and she has some magical powers. ”Merlin pondered his words as he said to 11-year-old Daisy, "I hope you can prepare in advance. ”"Witch?"
Daisy's eyes widened, and she looked at Merlin, "That's cool!
”"yes, that's pretty cool."
Merlin smiled, he was silent for a moment, and then said to the little girl, "But if she were going to take you away, take you out of New York, away from your father, would you follow her?"
”"Why did she leave?"
Daisy tilted her head and said to Merlin, "Aren't Mom and Dad supposed to be together?"
We can live together in New York...
Dad's house is huge, I went to see it and could accommodate 3 people. ”"Not that question, Daisy."
Merlin explained: "There are some things that you have a hard time understanding between adults, your mother has a group of other people to take care of, she is their leader, she is also busy every day, she has her own job, she can't leave that behind.Of course, you can also convince her to stay here. ”Merlin winked at Daisy, "But if your mother wants you to choose between her and your father, I'd prefer you to stay with your father." ”"Why?"
Daisy asked, "Maybe I can go to my mother's place with my father." ”"Uh, didn't you notice that?"
Merlin whispered, "Your father is sick, and he is not well. ”"Well, I saw it."
Daisy said with a worried face, "Dad gets nosebleeds, he has nightmares at night, he coughs a lot, and his eyes...
After taking off the eyes, they are yellow...
Just like the guy who chased me. ”"Your father's eyes were caused by a failed experiment, and he wasn't the one who hunted you down in the first place.""
I can guarantee that," Merlin said. ”"And I'm also a doctor, Daisy, your father's health is not optimistic, and he has done a lot to find you in the past 10 years.As his friend, I hope that he can have his own daughter by his side in the days to come.I mean, your mom has a special ability that she can live for a long time. ”Merlin said softly to the little Daisy in front of him: "You can go to her when you grow up, she has time to wait for you, but your father is just an ordinary person, and the time you can spend with him is always limited." ”"That's...
Then I'll stay here. ”Daisy was a kind child, and she said to Merlin, "I'll tell Mommy, and if she can't stay and take care of Daddy, then I'll stay."
She shouldn't blame me, right?
”"Of course she won't, she will only be happy that her daughter is so kind."
Merlin's eyes flashed as he reached out and stroked Daisy's hair, and he said, "Your mother will definitely understand you." ”The next moment, Merlin felt a faint energy fluctuation coming from the side of the house, he turned his head to look at the closed door, and said, "She's coming." ”There was a knock on the door the next moment, and Daisy subconsciously jumped off the couch, looking at Merlin a little nervously, who smiled at her, and then stepped forward and opened the door.Outside the door, Jia Ying was standing there.She wants to see her daughter, so she dresses up today.Wearing a long blue dress embroidered with flowers, Jiaying was very young, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, looking very gentle.She wore a flower-decorated mask on her face, presumably to keep her face from frightening her daughter.Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and apprehension, and as Merlin opened the door, she whispered, "Daisy, she...
Is it here?
”Merlin didn't speak, but turned sideways, and the next second, mother and daughter were in a relationship.Jia Ying saw Daisy standing on the edge of the sofa, an 11-year-old girl with braided hair, a clearly mixed-race silhouette on her face, inherited her big eyes, close to her ears, and her family's inherited beauty mole.The child put her hands in front of her, and there was a hint of nervousness and curiosity in her eyes, especially when she saw Jiaying with the mask walking into the room step by step, Daisy looked at the mask, she didn't know how to talk to her mother.But there is no need to speak.The next moment, Daisy was taken into her arms.Jia Ying crouched down and hugged her daughter into her arms, her body trembling, and a crying voice came from under the mask."
Daisy...
My Daisy, my daughter, mom finally...
Finally found you. ”Although they had never met, the feeling of blood connection made Daisy subconsciously put her hand on her mother's shoulder and patted it gently, as if she was comforting her crying mother.Merlin felt a little warmth in this scene, and when he turned around, he saw that in the alley across the street, Gordon, the Eyeless Man, was standing quietly, as if he was also watching this scene.Well, he doesn't have eyes, he should be perceiving it in some other way."
Why are you wearing a mask...
Mom?
”After a few seconds, Jia Ying let go of her daughter, and Daisy looked curiously at the mask on Jia Ying's face, and said, "I want to see your face." ”"No, Daisy."

Jiaying looked a little flustered at this moment, she said: "Mom's face is a little ugly, it will scare you." ”"I want to see, I'm not afraid."
Daisy stubbornly said, "Dad said you are beautiful, the most beautiful person in the world." ”"Your dad?"
Jia Ying turned her head sharply at this moment and stared at Merlin, who shrugged her shoulders and didn't explain anything.A moment later, at Daisy's urging, Jiaying hesitated to take off her mask, her scarred face was really scary to be honest, Daisy saw it, the girl subconsciously took a step back, as if she was scared.But before Jiaying could say anything, Daisy reached out and gently touched the scar on Jiaying's face, she said, "It must hurt, Mom, are you still hurting now?"
”Hearing her daughter's words of concern, tears that could no longer be stopped flowed from Jiaying's eyes, she hurriedly reached out and wiped it, and said to her daughter with a smile on her face: "No, it doesn't hurt anymore, after seeing my baby daughter, it doesn't hurt anymore." ”"Merlin, I'm back, I bought Jiaying's favorite eggplant, and some chili peppers, but I don't know how to make these dishes, maybe you can..."
And Zarvin also saw Jiaying in a blue dress, he was also stunned, and after a while, he said in a complicated tone: "Jiaying...
Long time no see. ”"Why is he here?"
Jiaying's tone was very unkind, she stared at Merlin, and she said, "This is different from what we agreed!"
”"The things you didn't tell me, the things you hidden, the things that weren't very pleasant..."
Merlin crossed his arms, with a calm face, with a faint warning, and said to Jiaying: "I know everything from Zarvin, you don't need to worry, I treated Zarven, he has changed back to the original him...
As for the matter between us, we can talk about that later, and I think that time belongs to your family now. ”As he spoke, Merlin yawned and walked to the stairs, he waved his hand without looking back, and said, "I think, you two adults, should be able to deal with your own contradictions, you shouldn't quarrel in front of Daisy and turn over old accounts, right?"
She certainly didn't want to see her parents arguing...
Also, for the sake of the child and my face, Jiaying, you'd better be more restrained. ”"Come to me after you've eaten, I'll go sleep for a while.""
Staying up late...
It's not a good habit. ”————————————— Merlin returned to the bedroom on the second floor, he pushed open the door and saw the eyeless man Gordon sitting on the chair in the bedroom, because he had no eyes, it was difficult for Merlin to judge Gordon's expression, but judging from the aura emanating from his body, this guy should be angry now.Merlin knew why he was angry."
You shouldn't have brought that madman here, and you shouldn't have let him come into contact with Daisy."
Gordon said in a bad tone, "He can't control his actions, he will hurt Jiaying's daughter."
What's more, this is not what we agreed to be!
You've broken your promise, Mr.
Merlin. ”"You didn't tell me that Zarvin was Daisy's father."
Merlin closed the door and said with a blank face, "You tried to get rid of Zarvin with my hand, if it weren't for my special abilities, I'm afraid Daisy wouldn't have seen her father now."
I'm more curious, what is the reason why Jiaying can actually hire a murderer to kill her former husband?
”"You're hiding a lot from me, Gordon."
Merlin waved his hand, and another chair was dragged behind him, and he sat on the chair and said to Gordon the Inhuman in front of him, "What the hell are you planning?"
”"We don't have any secrets to hide from you, and we don't mean to let you kill Zarvin, we just don't want him to be in Daisy's life."
Gordon retorted: "Jia Ying wants to find her daughter, I want to find the lost obelisk of our ancestors, we are avoiding a disaster and crisis, we are doing good!"
”"But that's not what I know!"
Merlin snapped, "Gordon, some people lie like they have an innate talent, and some people fidget when they tell a lie, you belong to the latter category!"
I know all the experiences of Jiaying's death and resurrection, and I know that her heart has changed greatly after her resurrection, maybe she was indeed a kind person before, but it is difficult to say now. ”"What else do you know?"
Gordon asked."
I know a lot."
Merlin replied, "I know that Jiaying's daughter has a terrible talent, she is qualified to become the 'royal lady' of the Inhuman Dynasty and may even become the 'empress' in the future, and Daisy, who has fully grown up, has the ability to destroy the world. ”"Seriously, I'm very skeptical about Jiaying's purpose in looking for her daughter...
Does she really think of Daisy as her daughter?
Or do you use that kid as a weapon?
”"She loves her daughter, she misses her more than anything else."
Gordon clenched his fists and said, "You can't slander her like that!"
”"Bang" something was thrown on the table in front of Gordon's eyes, it was a broken black round-rimmed glasses, Merlin leaned back in his chair, and said, "Whitehall is dead, I'll kill him." ”"Bring this thing to Jiaying, the source of her hatred for this world is gone, no matter what she plans to do, what she is planning, I hope she can calm down.""
As for Daisy, I won't let her take that girl, at least not now
