Even if he got lost in the lake again, he would wake up after all this. When these people collected enough data and released the detectors from Brad, he had already gotten rid of his previous sleepy state, and his eyes were bright.
He has realized that he has escaped from those bizarre dreams, and now is... reality!
"Brother." This time he spoke in an affirmative tone. He seemed to be sitting uncomfortably, and used his palms to support his body which was slightly slumping. His vision instantly became wider, and the entire scene in the ward came into view.
He looked around Jiang Hui and Hillman, and finally his eyes fell on his father, Lieutenant General Metz. For a moment, there was silence in the ward, which made Jiang Hui and other outsiders feel a little embarrassed, and they always felt that they shouldn't be here.
"Awake." Lieutenant General Mace walked to the bedside, looked down at the person, and gently placed the palm of his left hand on the back of the person's neck and caressed it.
"Father." The young man called out softly. He didn't have the solemn and stern look he had when facing the freshmen. He was a little like a child who had made a mistake. In fact, when facing his father, he was indeed a child, forever a child.
"Why are you lowering your head? Do you think you've done something wrong?" Finally, Lieutenant General Metz interrupted the silence.
Brad certainly didn't think he had done anything wrong.
The education he received since childhood told him that as a soldier who was trained by the country and supported by the people of the empire, he should defend the interests of the country and the people, even if it meant sacrificing his life. So he did not regret the fact that he almost died to save those children.
The moment he woke up, he even felt a little bit of joy that he himself couldn't believe - because he knew that his bet was right. Both the children and he were saved, and the price he might have to pay later seemed so insignificant.
He moved his arms and legs, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his limbs were still there, not paralyzed or anything, which was better than he had imagined. However, perhaps he was too happy, and moved his arms too much, directly affecting the large wound that had not yet fully healed, and he froze for a moment.
"Don't move. You just woke up and you're already doing something rash. You're afraid you won't stay in the hospital long. Just stay quiet! Otherwise, don't blame me for informing your mother." The deep aura that Lieutenant General Metz had just brewed suddenly dissipated, and he said in a rather unpleasant tone.
Brad was a stubborn person in his daily life. He had his own opinions since he was a child. Even the fact that he was transferred here was not only because of the person behind the scenes, but also because of the support of Lieutenant General Mays. Otherwise, with his family background, he would not have been so desperate. Lieutenant General Mays had many solutions... although they were not necessarily glorious.
He was tougher than his brother and sister, even to the point of seeming a little unintelligent, which had always worried the head of the Metz family. He was proud of their excellence, but also worried about their immaturity and naivety.
If there is one person in the family who can control him, it should be his mother, the only person he dare not challenge.
It's not that his mother is that great. She is just an ordinary person, and she doesn't fit in with the profession of everyone. Because of her health problems, she didn't work after marriage, but she occasionally logs in to the holographic area to take some freelance work.
But the other person was definitely the one that Brad respected the most and was the one he was least willing to disobey. Lieutenant General Meis understood his son and knew that only his wife could make this stubborn son bow his head a little.
Meis was also angry before, angry that the child was disobedient. So the father and son had been deadlocked there, and now he didn't want to make any more trouble, he just wanted to take this stubborn kid back, and naturally he had to mobilize his wife to do so.
Sure enough, upon hearing his mother's name, Brad immediately calmed down, and his breath was much gentler than when he just woke up, which made the father and son of Mays jealous. How could this proud little son/brother be so obedient only in front of his mother... He is the youngest in the family, if he is always so obedient, they will definitely be willing to spoil him.
"Okay, there's no way I can hide such a big thing from your mother. She's not really a housewife stuck at home with no news at all. I don't think I can hide it for long, so just wait for her to contact you. If you don't want her to come and arrest people in person, your father advises you to go back obediently after you recover from your illness, and we can talk about it later if there is anything." Lieutenant General Mei Si said slowly, but he was not polite at all, because this was the fact.
Brad obviously knew it, and his back suddenly bent slightly, as if he was unwilling to accept it, but he didn't say anything in the end, obviously he had already accepted some kind of compromise in his heart.
“Well, there are guests here. You, such a troublesome fellow, should thank them a lot. If it weren’t for the children’s insistence, we probably wouldn’t be able to see you now.” The lieutenant general moved aside slightly and waved to Jiang Hui and Hillman, motioning them to come over.
Under the gaze of the three members of the Metz family, and with a nod from Stark's class teacher, the two of them had no choice but to move forward nervously.
Well... to be honest, they are not really familiar with the American instructors. Saving people is one thing, but now they don't seem to know what to say.
Jiang Hui originally thought that a certain person who was very familiar with others should be able to break the deadlock, but she didn't expect that the guy was even selective in being very familiar with others. He unconsciously moved behind her and looked at her eagerly...
"Instructor Mays, are you feeling better? We'll come... to see you." Jiang Hui was also forced to speak, and he gritted his teeth and said three sentences. In fact, it didn't seem very logical, but the elements of a greeting were enough. The other party shouldn't mind, right
Jiang Hui could clearly feel the young man who had just woken up looking at her, and seemed to be carefully examining her for a while, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. After a long while, she heard the other party ask, "What's your name?"
Jiang Hui: ?
Why don't you play by the rules? This conversation is getting weirder and weirder, and the logic is not keeping up.
And your father clearly thanked us for saving you earlier... Don't you feel embarrassed to ask such a question now? It makes it seem like our relationship is very plastic.
-Although this is true, the three of them can't really say they are familiar with each other, but we can cover it up on the surface, and everyone just needs to know it. What's the point of asking it now
Jiang Hui also knew that if he continued to remain silent, the atmosphere would probably become more awkward, so he simply gave up and reported his name in response to the other party's question: "I am a student from Class 2 of the 89983 Combat Individual Soldier Department, Jiang Hui."
The other party remembered it very carefully, confirmed her name and details, and then asked Hillman in the same way.
Jiang Hui: …I am really serious about it.
