Lake did not stay long in Fox Town.

After all, the Karen family are all vampires, and he is just a very ordinary ordinary person. Therefore, after spending five or six days in the little padded jacket with him in Fox Town, Lake returned to New York.

He plans to save some money, and when the money is enough, he will use up all the lottery draws in the first stage.

To this end, he also used a credit card to cover $120,000, and specifically checked his credit rating at the Continental Hotel.

Tony Stark called, because Lake’s Stark credit card was directly swiped at a fried chicken shop for $120,000. The risk control department of Stark Bank detected it, and Jarvis told Lake.

This is not.

Tony Stark called and teased whether Lake planned to cash out. Of course, this was a joke, but he asked Lake whether there was a problem with the turnover of funds in a ridiculous tone.

Of course Lake said no.

In fact, Lake paid off the cash-out money in a lump sum in the second month.

During that month, Lake took five orders at the Continental Hotel in one swift effort. None of them were from New York, but they were all near New York.

what?

in principle?

People have been ridiculed whether they are short of money, and they still care about the principle. Can the principle of the thing be eaten as a meal?

The total amount of the five orders is almost 670,000, and Stark Bank’s $120,000 was returned. Lake estimated that not counting the $100 million that a bank was waiting to recharge the lottery, he The money that can be obtained is almost enough for Skye's tuition and training courses, so it will be directly closed afterwards.

The FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D. pretending to be the FBI rushed one at a time.

quickly.

It's another new year.

Four years!

Washington Airport.

Lake took Skye, just like last year, after spending Christmas with Karen, Betty and Rose, and returned to New York on January 4 of the New Year.

It was Kassel and Alexis who came to pick up the plane.

Downstairs of Xingchen Building.

Kassel said to Lake, "By the way, Lake, don't forget, in the evening, at 8867 bar, Owen is leaving."

Lake nodded.

Irving, his full name is Irving Strand, the chief of the New York Fire Department's 252nd Division, and similarly, he is also a mutual friend of Lake and Kassel.

Tonight is Irving’s last day in New York.

The Lone Star State, also known as Texas, where a 126 fire brigade rescued a fire half a month ago, unfortunately encountered an explosion that was too late to respond. Only one person survived and the rest were killed. .

and so……

Owen was invited over there and planned to take his son to the Lone Star State to rebuild the 12th and Sixth Fire Brigade. Therefore, Owen planned to invite Lake and Kassel to have another drink before leaving.

Back home.

This year, one year older again, Skye, who is already fifteen years old, plunged into the sofa: "I don't want to get up anymore. In other words, when can I stay at home alone."

Lake went to the bar and fetched the wine: "Well, wait until you have a driver's license, so next year?"

At the age of sixteen, Skye can get his driver's license. It can be considered that he can stay at home for a short time.

Skye turned over on the sofa: "Did you know that Betty is in love?"

Lake took a sip of Bourbon and looked at Skye: "I don't know."

Skye rolled his eyes: "It was agreed that I will not run this year. As a result, you will be at home on Christmas Eve and Christmas, and then you will find your girlfriend and leave me at home."

Lake laughed haha.

In the past, I had no choice when I went back. After all, Lake didn't have an apartment in Washington, DC, but it was different this year. Lake spent most of the time living with his girlfriend, Rachel, in DC.

Of course.

Lake also saw Rachel’s daughter, who was eight years old this year and was in elementary school. It was the daughter of Rachel and her ex Frey, but the custody of Rachel’s side.

Rachel seemed to be happy to see Lake and her daughter get along very well.

Lake didn't have any opinion, let's put it this way, as long as it is a girl, whether it is someone else's or his own, Lake still quite likes it.

the reason?

It's not his kind, what kind of person he looks like, what kind of person he will become. Lake doesn't care at all. Naturally, he doesn't care anymore. How can he get angry because of this?

Skye lived directly at home with Karen and Betty.

Lake shrugged and said, "I think this is pretty good. After all, you are all girls."

Skye turned over from the sofa and sat up: "Are you serious with that Rachel?"

Lake chuckled and said, "I refuse to answer this question."

He has already passed this question.

I don't get married.

As long as Lake does not get married or fall in love, then he is free and perfectly solves the problems that may arise from stepping on two boats or scumbags.

Skye shrugged, got up and walked upstairs.

Lake raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget that you will start school in a few days. Don't keep staring at the computer to protect your eyesight."

Skye waved his hand without looking back.

Lake sipped his glass of wine, looked at Skye who was walking up the spiral staircase, and smiled helplessly.

Skye was different from Rachel's son again. After all, Lake was legally Skye's adoptive father. Naturally, Lake still cared about Skye.

Probably……

The little padded jacket, Catherine, is bigger than Skye, and David is bigger than Rachel's son.

Ok.

This is the order in Lake's mind.

eight pm.

Lake put on his suit jacket, then put on his coat, then took out twenty dollars from his wallet and put it on the table, and said to Skye who was clearing the dining table: "I'm out, remember, don't mess around. Run."

Skye put away the twenty-dollar remuneration for the housework today: "Got it, I'll go downstairs and watch a TV series with Alexis after finishing up."

With a hmm, Lake turned around and left the house without saying anything.

Although these two years have passed, Skye is still unwilling to accept the pocket money given by Lake. There is no way, Lake can only increase Skye's income from doing housework.

After all, Lake colluded with Mrs. Akali on the eighth floor last time. As a result, after Skye came back, he looked at Lake with a speechless expression of 200 dollars and asked which babysitter would take care of him for two hours. Can take two hundred dollars.

and so……

Lake is very happy. At least, Skye is not a fool, and, in terms of money, he is very independent, and he has not become the same as the Bai Fumei in the school because of his adoption. The purchasing power of the US knife is very low.

8867 bar.

As soon as Lake walked into the bar, he saw Kassel and Owen waving not far away.

Come closer.

Lake and Owen who got up gave a hug, then took off the coat outside, pulled the chair away and sat down: "Where is Tyler, haven't you come?"

Owen, who is bigger than Lake and Kassel, spread his hands: "He failed in his marriage proposal yesterday and he was healed at home."

Lake said, "Oh, that's too bad."

Owen’s son, Tyler, is 23 years old this year. Like Owen, he inherits his father’s career and is also a firefighter. However, there is one difference between Tyler and his father, Owen.

Uh……

Owen has a male gender and loves women, while his son Taylor is a male and loves male.

It's a base!

Lake has received good training for the basics. After all, when he was in the army, he did not care about policies. Therefore, Lake also maintains this for groups whose orientation is different from ordinary people.

It doesn't matter to hang up high.

The wine is on the table.

Kassel raised his glass: "Cheers."

Lake also raised his wine glass and said to Owen: "A good trip, when we settle down there, Kassel and I will go over, and remember to entertain us."

Owen laughed: "Of course, anytime."

The three wine glasses collided together.

Drink it all in one go.

Owen clenched a fist and coughed a few times in his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Kassel smiled: "Man, this is the first cup."

Owen waved his hand, put down the wine glass, and said to Lake and Kassel in silence for a while: "I went to the hospital for an examination yesterday, and the doctor told me something not very good. In addition, Tyler overdose after he fell in love. , I will choose to go to the Lone Star State."

Cassell wiped his face: "God, Owen, **** Christ, why don't you tell us the first time what is going on."

Lake said: "What did the hospital say."

Owen shook his head: "Lung cancer, fortunately, the doctor said, it is fortunate that it is currently in stage 1B and has not spread to the lymph nodes. It is a blessing in misfortune."

Kassel said in disbelief.

Lake was also a little surprised. After all, the people he came into contact with were very healthy, either he was killed by himself, and the people around him had no cancer.

Owen smiled and said, "It’s okay. My doctor told me a very interesting story~lightnovelpub.net~ The story is that a person’s good mood can eliminate cancer, just like a person with cancer. I simply let go of myself, did what I wanted to do, saw a lot of beautiful scenery, and did a lot of things I didn't have time to do before, and then went back to the hospital for a follow-up treatment. As a result, the tumor was gone.

This can't be taken seriously, at most, it can only be used as a placebo to show that maintaining a good and cheerful mood is the most important thing.

Lake nodded and said, "Now that the technology is so advanced, you are still in the early stage when you discovered it. It is uncertain. By the end of this year, it is estimated that there will be new medical results."

There are many unfortunate places to live in this Marvel universe, but there are also lucky places.

At least there are so many black technologies here.

The ghost knows when to wake up and come out of a company, saying that they have overcome cancer. This is not impossible.

Then drink and talk.

Especially after knowing that Owen was ill, it added a touch of sadness to the parting. Therefore, the wine is served by a cup, and the words are spoken mouth by mouth.

By the time the three of them walked out of the bar, it was almost eleven o'clock.

The three people stopped a taxi and sent Owen home first, and then Lake and Richard returned to the Star Tower.

no doubt.

Kassel was complained by Alexis about Kallang Towel.

Lake was also complained by Skye about heating the towel.

Although Kassel was drunk, Lake was not.

but……

Skye looked at Alexis who was complaining about Kassel over there. He always felt that he had something to do. After all, he was a good friend of his own and needed to stand on the united front.
