Gotham, Wayne Manor.

The private cemetery of the Wayne family.

Bruce was staring at a tombstone in a daze, his eyes full of sadness and regret.

Jason Todd's name is written on the tombstone.

Bruce didn't know that Jason was still alive, and what was buried in the tomb was just a corpse whose identity could not be confirmed for a long time.

"I told you a long time ago, don't continue your dangerous career, let alone pull innocent children into your life!"

Beside Bruce, a female doctor who was over sixty years old and wearing a white coat spoke up, her tone contained anger.

"I can't remember the number of times you brought this child to me for healing. I could save him before, but now..."

"Why didn't you save him! Bruce?"

The old female doctor questioned Bruce.

In Gotham, there are very few people who can speak to Lord Wayne in this tone, and this female doctor is one of the very few people.

Because she is not an ordinary doctor, but a special physician of the previous generation of Wayne family, and even Leslie Tompkins, a college classmate of Bruce's father Thomas Wayne.

Leslie and Alfred take on the responsibility of caring for Bruce after the accidental death of the Thomas Waynes couple in Crime Lane.

In Bruce's heart, Leslie's status will never be lower than Alfred, and she is also one of the few people who know Bruce's Batman identity.

However, when it comes to dealing with Batman, Leslie and Alfred have completely different opinions.

To be precise, both of them initially opposed Bruce from doing these dangerous things.

But Bruce insisted on going his own way. No matter how much persuasion it was, it was useless. In the end, Alfred chose to compromise and help Bruce fight crime.

And Leslie left Wayne Manor and went to the poorest and chaotic Eastside of Gotham to open a clinic to treat the poor in Gotham at the cheapest price.

She's not completely disregarding her own safety, but since Batman's responsibility is to keep Gotham from committing crimes, even the most dangerous Eastside should be at peace.

You can of course understand that Leslie is using his life to coerce Bruce into giving up his Batman career.

The end result is that Bruce still became Batman, and although Leslie did not return to the Wayne family, he became Batman's secret doctor. It was because of her existence that Batman did not need to go to the hospital.

And Gotham's **** Bruce doesn't get the spotlight for his recurring, inexplicable injuries.

Leslie recognizes what Batman has done for the city, but she can't forgive Bruce for repeatedly letting innocent children die with him.

Since Dick Grayson first became Robin, Leslie was very dissatisfied with Bruce, and Jason's death directly made her dissatisfaction rise to the stage of explosion.

"It was the biggest mistake of my life."

Bruce opened his mouth and said slowly, there was no sadness or joy in his voice, only a hoarseness without emotion.

"Do you remember what I was like before? I was lonely...I don't want Jason to grow up like me, but I don't know what to do."

"I don't want Jason to be in the company of danger, but I have to do it to keep this kid from going down the road of crime, and I hope he can save himself."

Bruce turned his back to Leslie, not wanting her to see the look on his face.

"I knew from the day I saw him trying to pry off the tire on the Batmobile that I didn't choose Jason to be Robin, but the vigilante business chose him... just like it chose me."

"I want Jason's anger to have an outlet. I want him to stop being angry and live a normal life, but what I'm doing is pushing him to death. I always thought it would be me end, not his."

"Jason's death is my responsibility, maybe you're right, I shouldn't have drawn Jason in from the beginning."

After listening to Bruce's inner monologue, Leslie's eyes softened slightly. After all, she also watched Bruce grow up, and in her heart she had long regarded Bruce as her own child.

Leslie knew that to Bruce, Jason was equivalent to his son, and Jason's death would never be less of a blow to Bruce.

"What's going on with that kid? The third-generation Robin that is often mentioned in the news recently, you'd better explain it to me. I thought Dick's departure and Jason's tragedy would wake you up."

Then, Leslie asked again, this was also one of her reasons for returning to Wayne Manor.

"His name is Tim, I didn't plan on making him Robin, he put on a fake Robin uniform...he's a good boy, I can see he wants to help Batman, but like you said, I have to Seriously consider whether Batman really needs a Robin as an assistant."

"I just hope you won't let what happened to Jason repeat..." Leslie turned and left after leaving the last sentence.

Bruce continued to stare at Jason's tombstone in a daze.

Although Leslie left, another person came here soon. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

This time it was Alfred.

"Master Wayne, there is a visitor."

He didn't want to disturb Bruce's time to mourn Jason, but he didn't want to let Bruce indulge in long-term pain.

"Tell them, Alfred, I'm in a bad mood right now, and I don't want to see any guests today."

Bruce didn't look back, he had the qualifications to be willful.

"I suggest you'd better meet them."

Alfred said, and then he added.

"They came to mourn Master Jason."

As soon as these words came out, Bruce's expression finally changed.

He knew very well how extreme Jason's character was. Whether in school or elsewhere, it was difficult for Jason to make friends.

Even in school, he often fights with people, so Bruce taught Jason a lot.

Although it is not good to say this, Bruce believes that except for a few people such as the Wayne family, no one will come to mourn Jason.

This realization also made Bruce more self-blame, because he didn't educate Jason well.

Moreover, Jason is the adopted son of the Wayne family after all. Although he is not as concerned as his adoptive father, he is also a public figure. The accidental death cannot be concealed.

Even when the news of his death came out a few months ago, it caused quite a stir in Gotham, but it was only limited to Gotham.

If Jason really had friends, he should have come to mourn at that time. There is no need to wait until now.

Bruce frowned, he instinctively felt that something was wrong with the so-called guest.

"who are they?"

"Pongle of Sokovia, Master Wayne."
