The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 125 Adoption is nothing

What kind of building is this?

how to say.

Lake looked at the obviously old and dilapidated building in front of him, and he would believe everything he said that he was about to collapse.

"Where is this?"

"The old mental hospital in Brooklyn."

"...Why didn't I know this place before."

"Have you ever been out of Manhattan?"

"Are you talking about work or daily life?"

"daily?"

"No."

"..."

The excitement of New York lies in Manhattan. Lake is too tired to go to areas other than Manhattan to play. There are other places, but Manhattan also has them. Other places don’t have them, but Manhattan still has them.

and……

Frankly speaking, the quality of women in Manhattan is also NO.1.

Therefore, Lake couldn't figure out why he ran to Manhattan.

George pointed to the abandoned psychiatric hospital and said: "This psychiatric hospital seemed to have some accidents. After it closed down, it was abandoned for some reason. After that, it became a homeless hospital. The homeless or those who don't want to enter the shelter of children in the rescue center."

Lake looked at George with contempt: "So, you know, there are a group of children who grew up here without doing anything."

George looked at Lake with a blank expression: "The problem here is the issue of the Children's Department. What can we do? If something goes wrong during the cleaning process, believe it or not, the Children's Department can report us to the New York Police Department. to bankruptcy?"

Lake shrugged: "Okay."

This is true.

The thing that UNICE hates most is that law enforcement agencies intervene in their work, but unfortunately, most of UNICE's work is coordinated by law enforcement agencies.

Even if the New York Police Department took it here, those children could only call someone from the Children's Department. They were all a group of minors, and the New York Police Department was not qualified to detain or take them into custody.

To know.

Here, as long as you are a minor, the NYPD cannot handcuff you, and even interrogating minors without your parents or guardians is illegal.

The so-called children's paradise?

Right.

But that's for those children who have families. Those like Skye who don't want to go to a foster family or go to the Children's Agency, living is the goal of this group of people.

Entering this abandoned building, the darkness inside the building instantly replaced the light separated by the door. It seems that the inside and outside of the building are like two worlds.

Sparse!

At the end of the corridor on the first floor, a figure seemed to get up after seeing Lake and George walking in, hurriedly walked into a certain room, and then just closed the door with a bang.

seem……

The figure worried that Lake and George had come to steal the room.

Even here, there are some kind of social rules. For example, the homeless people who live in this building follow a simple rule.

First come first served.

Of course.

If you are so powerful that you can beat everyone in the room before you, then you can become the new owner of the room after the beating is over.

So it's a first-come, first-served society where only the winners qualify.

George took off his sunglasses: "How many floors did you write?"

Lake took out the note and glanced at it, then looked at George: "Under the sink of a bathroom on the left side of the corridor on the second floor."

Good guy.

He was so messed up that he didn't even have a room, so why didn't he go to the rescue center?

Lake thought so.

In Lake's eyes, although the rescue center was chaotic, at least it was a place to live.

The rescue center will not forcefully drive away any minor, and they will not forcefully kick you out before you.

On the second floor.

The wooden stairs under his feet creaked, and there seemed to be a state of confusion, which made Lake have no doubt that if he tried hard, the stairs would crack a big hole.

The second floor.

A few homeless men and a few homeless children who were leaning against the door of their room talking nasty words in the corridor, after seeing Lake and George, they chose to close the door directly, just like the people on the first floor. .

moment.

The corridor on the second floor is empty.

Lake and George glanced at it, shook their heads, and followed Skye's note to find a bathroom on the left side of the legendary second-floor corridor.

only?

The doors of this special cat are all closed, how do you know where the restroom is?

Lake looked at George: "Have you been here before?"

George shook his head.

Ok.

Lake thought, looked at a door on his left, and knocked.

"Go away."

A stout voice sounded from inside the door: "There is someone in this room, hurry up, or I will shoot."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

Bang!
Kick the door hard.

After the door shattered, the owner of the house who was also kicked into the house was revealed, a scrawny African-American who could be seen as another poisonous bug at a glance.

Lake tilted his head and showed a slight smile: "Can you tell me, where is the restroom on the left side of the corridor on the second floor?"

Li, you don't have to.

What can Lake do, he can only use soldiers.

Soldiers first and then soldiers.

Lake has always been that way.

The black poisonous insect coughed, listened to Lake's words, looked at the Glock in Lake's hand, and pointed to his next door tremblingly: "The second room."

Lake nodded: "Thank you."

Go out.

George said to Lake, "It's all a bunch of poor people."

Lake glanced at George: "Poisonous insects are never worthy of pity."

The poor people who went bankrupt because of the financial turmoil were indeed pitiful, and Lake would sympathize with them.

but……

Poor poisonous bug?
Ha ha.

What is there to be pitiful about such a person?
fortunately.

Lake's foster family was surprisingly unanimous in this matter. Whether it was Thaddeus or Karen, the education for Lake and Betty was nothing to touch. is prohibited.

Every night, Karen will hold a special class with pictures and texts, and use PPT to explain the consequences of smoking to Lake and Betty.

Betty was depressed at the time.

Lake didn't, but it was a rare relaxation activity after meals every day, drinking Coke, looking at these pictures, it was extraordinarily delicious.

In the end, both Lake and Betty were taken to see a psychiatrist. One needed to be checked for psychological problems, and the other needed a psychiatrist to help.

After Lake came out of the poisonous bug's room, he walked a few steps, pointed to the door that was also closed, and looked at George: "Is this the room?"

George nodded: "Yes."

Lake didn't bother to knock on the door this time, and it was useless. The people here are not polite.

Lift your feet and kick.

boom!
"what!"

A pair of disheveled men and women who lived inside let out a scream, unbelievable that both men and women were able to arrange this bathroom into a bedroom.

Don't you feel the smell is strong?
Lake approached with a blank expression, and went directly to the edge of the sink, stretched his right hand down, and touched an empty space.

Something?
Lake stood up, his eyes fell on the pair of lonely mandarin ducks in front of him, he glanced at them, and directly drew out his gun: "Hand over the things that are placed below in three seconds."

Another poisonous bug.

Gosh.

This is really too much freedom. In other words, when I was in Manhattan, why didn’t I see anyone using this thing? Among the friends that Lake knew, they all refused to accept this kind of thing.

The disheveled woman took out a blue backpack from behind tremblingly.

Lake took over, unzipped it, and took a look.

A few notebooks, a few folded papers, and a few bundles of clothes. Although they are old, they are clean and have no special smell.

this backpack...

That's all Skye has had in the past 13 years.

Lake looked up at the couple.

Turn away.

He wanted to compensate for the loss of Menpo, but that was to compensate the director of the bankrupt mental hospital.

In New Amsterdam Hospital.

Inside the elevator.

Lake looked at the backpack in his hand, thought for a while, and said to George: "George, is what you said at the bar last time true?"

George looked at Lake: "What?"

Lake said, "Can I adopt?"

The environment in the mental hospital was so sad, and there were so many poisonous insects, my God, it was a miracle that Skye was not infected.

Lake then thought of himself.

like……

Adoption is not a big deal. Skye is provided with a comfortable and stable environment. The guest room is sorted out, and an extra pair of chopsticks is provided for every meal.

It seems that there is nothing difficult.

Kindness needs to be passed on.

Lake thought about what Karen had talked to him after returning to Washington this time, because Lake had called Karen last time to discuss the matter of adoption.

Karen can adopt him, why can't he adopt Skye?

George glanced at Lake and said, "Skye doesn't have any relatives, all she needs is Skye's consent, and then the municipality will sign. You will be her guardian."

Ding!
The elevator opens.

Lake stepped out of the elevator and said to George, "Do you know anyone in the city? Contact me?"

George said, "You don't want to ask Skye's opinion?"

Lake thought about the scene of Skye refusing to go to the operation that day, smiled, and looked at George: "She owes me money, and she will definitely agree."

George: "..."

in the ward.

Skye wiped his mouth and thanked Martha who brought the breakfast.

Lake came in and greeted Martha: "Please, Martha."

Martha put away the bowls and spoons, and looked at Lake: "I know it's troublesome, just give my Jack a few days off."

Lake laughed loudly: "How about I give him a month's paid vacation, let him accompany you well?"

Martha was also polite: "Thank you then."

Martha has talked with Lake these days, she is trying to have a third child, but unfortunately, Jack has been using the excuse that he is busy with work and has no time.

Lake definitely doesn't intend to take the blame.

Jack's action team is his exclusive team. He runs to the hospital all day long, and Jack tells Martha that he is busy. This will leave a bad impression on people.

soon.

Martha left the ward.

Lake immediately looked at Skye who was on the hospital bed: "How about going home with me after you get out of the hospital?"

Skye opened his mouth wide, and his expression once again looked like looking at Lake after waking up, as if looking at a pervert: "..."
