Chapter 74 Mother

metropolis.

Under the rich night sky, there are skyscrapers composed of countless neon lights.

These colorful lights are intertwined and twinkling in the night, like a beautiful picture unfolding flatly.

Just from the paint and body lines, you can tell that a black car that was expensive was parked slowly in front of a manor.

A pair of long straight legs stepped lightly on the tiles in front of the manor.

The young man in a black suit adjusted his tie on his chest. He slowly raised his head, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Under the dark night,

A gold-plated plaque hangs on the iron gate of the manor: Swaymore Asylum.

Speaking of Sweemore Asylum, it is an authoritative institution with a long history.

This mental hospital existed as early as the beginning of the development of the metropolis, but in that era there were few crazy people and the business of the mental hospital was sluggish.

However, with the development of the times, the pace of life has become faster, and there are more and more lunatics in the city. The Sweemore Manor, which originally welcomed all comers, has also successfully transformed: they only serve the elite class.

After the security guard at the door verified his identity, the closed iron door opened, and Jino stepped into the huge manor.

The road is lined with blue flowers.

Jino took off a bunch casually and walked into the manor castle.

Security guards stood around the hall.

The mentally ill people in hospital gowns are each obsessed with their own world.

Some people just walked with their heads down, walking in a hurry, circling the hall.

Some people were standing on tables, chairs and benches, singing loudly and chanting unpleasant tunes.

Kino walked through these mental patients and headed towards the second floor.

Stepping on the wooden stairs to the second floor, Jino heard a melodious song echoing in the corridor.

The song was soft and slow, like a mother singing a requiem for a child.

Jino looked at the blond woman leaning against the locked window with a complicated expression.

That's his mother, Leticia Elliott.

Four years ago, he finally couldn't stand Lionel's endless cheating and quarrels. The flower who had grown up in a greenhouse since childhood chose to commit suicide.

She jumped headfirst from the fourth floor of her home, and Kino caught her at the time. However, due to her height, the woman hit her head, and this was the root of her illness.

This incident was like a thorn in Gino's heart, and it was also the root cause of the stiff relationship between him and Lionel.

No one has a smooth life, even Gino, who has unlimited possibilities. After Leticia jumped from the fourth floor, she secretly found a deserted place and cried for a while.

Gino looked at his mother.

She touched the cold glass with one hand, as if she wanted to pick up the little flowers through the window.

And her other hand was holding two little bear dolls tightly.

Even wearing the smallest hospital gown could not hide her thin figure.

The dark circles under the eyes prove that the woman's sleep quality is not good.

There was a peaceful smile on her lips. When she heard the footsteps behind her, the woman turned her head.

She saw the handsome young man walking towards her, and the woman's peaceful smile turned gloomy in an instant. She shouted and rushed towards Jino.

"Leave, leave quickly!"

The woman made a driving gesture with her hands, waving her arms constantly to drive away the intruders.

"This is my castle! No Lionel!"

"Mom." Jino reached out and clasped the woman's wrist, staring at the woman with the same eye color as his with blue eyes: "It's me, Jino."

"I'm here to see you."

After listening to Jino's words, the woman tilted her head and looked at the two dolls in her hands. There was confusion in her eyes: "But, my two children are with me."

As she spoke, the woman took out a piece of candy from the patient's pocket and stuffed it into the golden stuffed bear, stroking the toy's head with gentle eyes: "Your favorite candy, Gino."

Watching this scene silently, Jino sighed.

Why do you feel that little bear with no hair on its head is so pitiful?

"All right."

He gave up his plan to let Leticia Elliot recognize that he was Gino.

In the world of mentally ill people, only by obeying them can you achieve your goals.

Keno put it another way.

"I am Mr. Lauren Elliot's driver. I am here to take you back to Gotham."

After listening to Jino's words, the woman's original vigilance disappeared, and she cheered like a little girl: "Father asked you to pick me up?"

"That's right." Gino took out a small crumpled blue flower from his pocket and handed it to Leticia with a smile: "Look, this is a small flower that is a specialty of Gotham."

"Don't you always like the flowers in Elliot Manor?" Gino glanced at the flower bed under the mental hospital. In order to make Leticia happy, he spent a lot of money to transplant and plant the flowers here from Gotham. Just to make Leticia happy.

Leticia stretched out her little hand to take the blue flower in surprise. She smiled at Gino: "Then let's go."

She waved her arms and ran towards the first floor: "Go home!"

"Yes." Jino followed the woman and said calmly: "Go home."

Gotham.

This cold and cold steel forest supports everyone in this city.

The constant sound of gunfire under the night sky seemed to disturb the cold moon in the sky, casting a dark and hazy luster, illuminating the bleak face of the city of Gotham.

Countless tall chimneys spewed gray-black gas into the air, giving every air in Gotham an unpleasant and pungent smell of soot.

This is Gotham.

Chaos, filth, evil, any disgusting, unfortunate, angry, sad adjectives can be found in this city. It is like a roaring beast in the night, devouring the soul of everyone in this city.

"This damn weather." A brown-haired man in a suit stood outside Gotham Airport.

He looked at his watch and then at the airport exit.

In the wait that is not long but a man thinks it is long.

A woman in a light blue dress jumped out of the hall, followed by a blond boy.

The people passing by were not surprised by Leticia's behavior.

Because this is Gotham, there are a few lunatics and psychopaths popping up every day.

"Leticia!"

The brown-haired man shouted to the woman: "Come over here!"

"Thomas?" Leticia tilted her head and looked at the brown-haired man.

"It's me, Leticia." Thomas smiled, happy to see his only sister.

"Uncle Thomas." Kino followed with his suitcase.

Thomas glanced at Gino and sighed: "Kino, welcome to Gotham. By the way, when you go back, don't forget to tell me about my curse on Lionel!"
