[Captain Captain] Parallel World

Of course, they would come as promised. Howard was taken aback when he saw Natalie. This was definitely not the goodbye he wanted. Natalie was still in good spirits that day, and greeted him with some interest.

The place that Charlie prepared for Natalie is very unique, without any disturbance from the outside war at all, and all the medical equipment is ready, and there are private doctors and nurses on call at any time.Natalie did not expect such a superior treatment, and I am afraid Mr. Raul's request from above is indispensable among them.

Maria came with Howard, but she was far less calm than Howard. Even if Natalie coughed a few times when talking to her, she would still feel extremely uncomfortable, and tears would fall while talking to her. Natalie had to comfort her.

"No, I'm still worried." Maria asked Howard for a long vacation, planning to come here to take care of Natalie.

"There's nothing to worry about. There are so many people here." Natalie quickly dissuaded her, and by the way, she gave Howard a look to signal him to help.

"Obviously Howard needs you more, what can he do without you." Apparently Howard didn't receive the signal from Natalie, and he was thinking seriously aside.

"No! I've had enough of worrying about him." Maria said decisively, "Besides, it would be nice if I could talk to you here."

Facing Maria who was looking at her worriedly, Natalie couldn't say anything to refuse.

"No problem, Maria, you can stay here for the time being." Howard readily agreed this time, and promised Natalie, nothing else, money and equipment are enough!

This made Natalie sigh and said that it seems that Stark Enterprises is not only going to be involved in the arms industry, but also plans to participate in the research of medical equipment.After Howard glared at her, she just turned her head and continued talking to Maria.

Maybe there is a special case for sick people. No matter what Natalie says now, Maria will not be angry. On the contrary, if Howard said something that made her unhappy, Maria would definitely stand by Natalie immediately. Li here condemns Howard with her.The murdered Howard could only raise his hands in surrender and swear that if Maria was by his side, he would never mess with Natalie.

The days go by like this, the war seems to have nothing to do with Natalie at all, and the occasional correspondence with Charlie let her know the latest news about Mr. Lauer, and she also tried to use the folk remedies that Charlie got. Fortunately, no matter how biased the prescription is, Howard will find it for her.

Only the rare appearances of Howard let Natalie understand that the war is not over.

The time has gradually come to the winter of 1944.Another year has passed, and Natalie, whose immunity was affected by the disease, had to wrap herself in layer after layer of clothes. It started to snow one after another, and it was so cold to the bone when I went out.

It will be Christmas in a few days, and Maria is busy with it. She prepared a small fir tree, bought various decorations, and directed the maids to decorate the house lively, even Mr. Olsen was also infected by Maria, and he happily helped every day, and he was not even very angry with Mr. Lauer.

When Howard came here on Christmas Eve and braved the heavy snow, he found a Christmas wreath hanging on the front door, and the house was filled with glowing fairy lights, ivy and fur decorations.Even the handrails of the stairs were tied with bows, and Maria forced him to put on a Christmas hat and a big white beard as soon as he entered the door.

Should he be thankful that Maria didn't let him wear that pot-bellied dress?

Walking into the living room, I found that Natalie, who was in better shape, was wearing a Christmas-themed red dress with white fur trim, a large fluffy cape, and a Santa hat, eating Christmas pudding Watch this black and white film of the Nutcracker ballet sent by Mr. Lauer.

The maids brought plate after plate of traditional Christmas dinner from the kitchen, turkey, polenta, candy, roast beef and wine, and all kinds of snacks filled the table. The candles on the tripod had been lit, and the white spiral The sparks on the shaped candles swayed, engraved on everyone's smiling faces.

Today is also Natalie's birthday. Natalie asked Howard to give her a gift. Fortunately, she was reminded by Maria a few days ago so she didn't forget about it. Howard blinked mysteriously. , and played funny background music, and then turned around to lead out the person hiding behind.

Peggy was also invited to this Christmas dinner. Although he verbally told others that he didn't understand women's hearts, he thought that Natalie still wanted to see Peggy.

This is also true. Although the first reaction was to see if the person she wanted to see was still hidden behind Peggy, she realized that even if it was Christmas, Captain America would still have to go on a mission, but she still welcomed Peggy's arrival.

The gift Peggy gave Natalie was a wooden miniature model of 'Tony'. It is said that she made it herself, and the inside was also very delicately portrayed. Natalie loved it so much.

Maria also invited the children from the manor next door to celebrate Christmas together. They are a pair of brothers and sisters. The elder brother is Charles, and the younger sister is Ruiwen. Their parents seem to be working these days, so they readily agreed to send the children over. up.

Natalie likes Charles very much. He looks about the same age as Max, and he is always so considerate, yet elegant like a little gentleman. Raven is a good girl who listens to Charles very much. The brother and sister always Reminds her of Charlie and herself.

"I see it's Natalie, you have other plans for other boys!" Sensing that Natalie seems to be partial to Charles, Howard still couldn't hold back his mouth during dinner.

Natalie responded by holding her chest and coughing a little, and Maria immediately pressed Howard's head into the cake in front of him.

Ruiwen kept laughing aside, poking Charles from time to time and winking at him, then Charles smiled helplessly at Ruiwen.

Many people came that night, doctors, nurses, and maids were also celebrating this Christmas Eve. Andrew also dropped by to bring Natalie his gift and left, looking at the miniature Captain America he sent. The shield badge Natalie was a little dumbfounded, and she pinned it on Peggy's collar after changing hands.

Olson gave Natalie a wooden music box with two tunes, Happy Birthday and A Christmas Carol, and started drinking with Howard.

Natalie, who couldn't drink, just glanced at them and continued chatting with Charles.

As the night deepened, Howard and Olsen passed out drunk on the carpet. Maria covered them with blankets and told the maid not to extinguish the fire in the closet. After taking a temperature, she also drove back to rest. The sleepy-eyed Ruiwen hugged the doll Natalie gave her and stayed with Peggy in the guest room of Natalie's house.

Seeing that the night was gradually entering the dead of night, Charles helped Natalie push the wheelchair back to the room, and Natalie, who was particularly energetic today, couldn't fall asleep, so she just patted Charles on the shoulder to let him go back to the room to sleep first, and then looked at the snow scene outside the window Preoccupied.

Every time she sees Charles, she always thinks of Max. The same age, but different experiences. She regrets what she taught Max. Although it is necessary, it is actually forcing him to grow up.

She heard that there seemed to be an uprising in the concentration camp over October, and she believed that Marx should have escaped from there.

Charles was also precocious, but unlike Marx, what he precociously matured was thought, while what Marx precociously matured was mind.If they can meet in the future...

Natalie found that she seemed to be thinking too far, and felt a little funny when she retracted her thoughts. She suddenly raised her hand and touched her neck, but remembered that her angel nameplate had been lost.

"Aren't you asleep yet, my dear?" Hearing a knock on the door suddenly, Natalie turned her head and saw Maria smiling softly.

"I'm probably so happy that I can't sleep." Natalie patted the bed, and Natalie asked Maria to sit over.

"How is your health today? Has it improved?" Maria sat down obediently, and there was a hint of worry in Maria's eyes.

"Probably that's it. Charlie said he'll figure out a way." Speaking of this, Natalie's face also had a hint of sadness. It's been such a long time. I don't know what else to do to recover.

Holding Natalie's hand distressedly, Maria wished she could lend her some strength.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, God is with you." Looking at Natalie's still pale cheeks, Maria prayed sincerely.

Nodding according to her meaning, Natalie instantly remembered the angel nameplate she had lost.

"Maria, let me be your child's godmother in the future." Natalie suddenly said after thinking about this.

"Godmother?" Some wondered why she suddenly mentioned this, but Maria immediately agreed, and said with a smile that she could definitely fulfill Natalie's birthday wish for her.

The next day, after waking up, Howard found out about the news. For some reason, he seemed a little unhappy, especially after Maria said that her child's Christian name had already been chosen and he would call it 'Tony'. His expression was even more distorted.

Maria obviously didn't know what he was thinking, but happily directed the maids to start a new day, while Natalie hid behind the newspaper and returned him a provocative expression when Howard glared at her.

Charles also seemed to know something when he came down the stairs, and turned to tell Ruiwen who was asking him in confusion.
