[Comprehensive Yingmei] The target of the task came to the door

"What about you?" Hearing the voice from the stairs, Steve got up from the sofa to meet him. Seeing Ian's outfit, he froze for a moment.

I saw Ian wearing slightly loose casual clothes, fully armed with a peaked cap, sunglasses, and a mask, directly covering his entire face, and carefully wrapped a large light gray jacquard wool and silk scarf around his neck. If you don't show it, it's nothing more than a celebrity going out.

"Cough..." Ian cleared his throat, his voice was deeper and hoarse than usual, "I am allergic to dust."

"Let me see." Steve stepped forward directly.

Ian took off his sunglasses, and there were dense red dots around his eyes. Before Steve took a closer look, he put on the sunglasses again.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

"Why didn't you tell me?" His eyes were stained with distress, and the hands beside him were tight and tight, and he restrained the urge to hug him into his arms.

"At first I thought it was just a sore throat, but I realized it was an allergy when it developed. Don't worry, I have already taken anti-allergy medicine, and the doctor said there is no major problem."

Waking up yesterday morning with purple blood spots on his face really scared Ian. At that time, in order to let the congestion absorb as soon as possible, the first thing he did when he came back was to apply ice cubes to his face, but he didn’t expect that his face would inevitably swell, thanks His ability to repair is different from that of ordinary people, and after another day of recovery, there are only inconspicuous little red spots left, and the blue and purple pinch marks on his neck have disappeared in sevens and eights, leaving only a light bluish yellow.If this is put on ordinary people, I am afraid it will not work in seven or eight days.

Steve looked serious, with no doubts. "Don't go out like this, your allergies can be big or small—"

"I'm wearing a mask. The air in the nursing home is good, so I'll be fine." Ian simply pushed Steve out.

"Let me see." Steve was still worried.

Ian muttered unwillingly: "Don't look at it, ugly."

Steve couldn't help but find it funny again, "It's not ugly, it's not ugly, if our Ian is ugly, who in the world would dare to say that he looks good."

"Do you want to say next sentence, even if I become an old man, I will still be the best looking old man."

"Hey, you guessed it all."

"Where did you learn this?" Ian shook off Steve and took the lead, his back looking a little panicked.

In a private nursing home with a quiet environment in New Jersey, Steve and Ian gently knocked on the door of a VIP ward, and a tall blonde beauty opened the door.

"Hi, I'm Pepper Potts."

"Steve Rogers, this is my friend Ian."

Pepper smiled brightly and kindly, "Captain America, Tony always mentions you." Then he glanced curiously at Ian who was fully armed. "Mr. Ian, hello."

"Hello, Miss Potts."

"He's been allergic for the past two days, sorry." Steve explained.

Xiaojiao showed a hint of worry at the right time, and his eyes swept over the two of them without any trace, and he felt a little clear in his heart. "Come in quickly." He led the two of them to sit down on the sofa, and brought over two glasses of water.

"Tony is discussing the treatment plan with the doctor." Pepper sat down on a chair beside him, and looked worriedly at the thin old man with gray hair on the hospital bed.

"Is Howard always like this these days?" Steve lowered his voice.

"Well, there is very little time to wake up, and people can't recognize it." Xiaojiao sighed, with exhaustion between his brows.

There was a slight knock on the door, and Tony, who couldn't see his expression, walked in, his footsteps were as light as a cat's.

"You're here." Tony nodded at Steve first, and saw Ian, who was dressed like a masked hero, stared blankly.

"Ian, I'm allergic." As usual, it was Steve who explained. "what did the doctor say?"

"Let's spend time with him as much as possible." Tony's tone was flat, even a little cold. Only those familiar with him knew that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

There was a long silence, and Steve patted Tony on the shoulder reassuringly.

There was a rustling sound of rubbing on the hospital bed, and the eyes of the four of them immediately focused together, and they surrounded the bed two by two.

Howard, who opened his eyes, rolled them mechanically, and finally landed on Steve. His cloudy eyes gradually became clear, his pale lips moved, and his voice was hoarse and old: "Steve, you are back."

Steve bent down and held his old friend's thin and old hand, his eyes were reddish, and his voice was rough. "Yes, I'm back."

"That's great, that's great...I said I'll find you."

Tony on the other side walked to the window, and stood half against the window with his chest folded, his right leg slightly bent, his toes kicking lightly on the ground, half of his face was facing outwards, as if admiring the scenery outside the window, but his face was sideways. The silhouette seemed a little more grim.

Little Pepper shook his head, turned around and poured a glass of water, and rolled the hospital bed up to a comfortable position.Howard barely drank two sips of water, waved his hand to say no, and tilted his head to see who was behind Steve.

"This is..." Steve hesitated when the words came to his lips.

Howard's eyes lit up, and a startling expression appeared on his face in an instant.Steve and Pepper on the opposite side looked at each other, secretly startled.

"Brother Ian, you came to pick me up."

Ian froze, and finally walked out from behind Steve under Howard's expectant gaze, and couldn't help beating his heart: I'm so tightly wrapped, he can see it, it's unscientific!It is said that people who are about to die can see things that others cannot see, can't it be true?The key is which Ian does he think of me as?No matter which feeling it is, it will look like it will die a miserable death!God bless, God bless, don't see anything!

Howard didn't know that as soon as he said this, Steve and Tony were shocked.Steve was okay, he just thought that his old friend could see through the truth at a glance, but Tony's thoughts were churning.

This familiar title, this familiar tone, what does the old man mean?Misunderstanding again?Or... or something, Tony's thoughts were confused, he couldn't figure it out, his body was slightly tense, and he listened to the movement here with his ears open.

The skinny arm was raised in the air, Steve moved out of the way, and Ian had no choice but to step forward and hold it, which was surprisingly powerful.

"Brother Ian, thank you, thank you!"

Ian gave a dry laugh, thanking himself that the wrapping was tight, and he didn't need to try his best to hide it, and he didn't need to look at his face at the moment. It must be ugly and scary.

"That—" For the sake of my death for you, please, don't say it!Feeling the two gazes on his body, Ian wished he could run away from the door immediately.Ian wasn't particularly worried about Howard thinking of him as the man he had been in World War II, he was worried that Howard thought of him as someone else.

"You've taught Anthony well, he's done a great job and I'm proud of him."

Heaven, earth, which kind-hearted sister angel came to save him!No way, it's okay to come to Tianlei to chop him up!Ian looked desperate, and the thing he was most worried about happened.

"Hehe... this..." Ian stood helplessly, wishing he could hang a sign saying "I don't know anything" or "I'm innocent" on his body. Hole through.With hot palms and hot face, Ian had the illusion that he was about to be out of breath.

"Old man, you have misunderstood the person." Tony's cold voice came, he did not expect to receive the old man's compliment for the first time in such a scene, but he was not happy at all, just inexplicably irritable.

Pepper tugged on Latoni's sleeve and motioned him to look at the hospital bed.I saw Howard's complexion was rosy, his eyes were bright, and he looked radiant. He didn't look like he was dying from a long illness. Tony, who realized what was going on, took a step forward and then stopped abruptly. Muscle trembled faintly.

"Mr. Ian, please..." Pepper, who knew nothing, simply thought that Howard had admitted the wrong person, and looked at Ian earnestly, hoping that Ian would cooperate.

Ian turned his head and glanced at Steve, his eyes clearly said: I am just trying to satisfy the wish of the dying old man, don't think too much about it.It's a pity that Ian forgot that he was wearing sunglasses, no matter how vivid his eyes are, no matter how expressive they are, they will be blind.

Howard was completely immersed in his own consciousness, he couldn't hear or see everything around him, pain and self-blame quickly appeared on his face, and he dropped another blockbuster/bomb. "right

I'm sorry... I'm sorry about the incident back then, I knew that it was not a peaceful time, but I insisted on not being protected by others, and you got hurt in the end, Maria and I should have died, I'm sorry..."

Choking, sobbing, Howard held Ian's hand and wept bitterly like a child, tears slipped from his dry eyes.

Tony was stunned by the news. He froze on the spot, almost unable to stand. What do you mean that period of time was not peaceful?Wasn't the car accident caused by brake failure?

"I'm not a good father. I haven't said 'I love him' to him until now. I couldn't say it before, but I didn't dare to say it later. It's me, and it's all because of me, his favorite uncle Ian passed away. .If it makes him feel better hating me, let him keep hating me."

"Stop it, stop it..." It's not like that.Ian powerlessly stopped, seemingly unable to bear Howard's self-blame.

Howard looked excited, "Brother Ian, if you had been here all the time, Anthony wouldn't have been depressed for so many years, and he would definitely become an even more remarkable person."

Tony was finally able to control his body, his eyes were red, he rushed to the hospital bed, and firmly grasped the railing beside the hospital bed. "Tell me, how did uncle Ian die?"

Steve, who had been listening in a cloud, took a step back. What happened to all this?Tony actually has an uncle named Ian?Did Howard really just admit the wrong person?Still... no, no, too many things can't be explained, Steve closed his eyes, trying to sort out his thoughts, thoughts flashed through his head one after another, like a revolving lantern, but he couldn't catch any of them.

Ian took off his sunglasses, look, dude, I'm not your brother Ian, so don't say any more!What if Tony wants to avenge me?Tears streamed down my face, and timely worry appeared on my face: "Mr. Stark looks... I think it's better to call a doctor."

"Do not--"

"Cough cough cough..." Ian coughed suddenly, his face flushed, and he seemed to be a little out of breath from being covered by a mask.

"Ian..." Steve was awakened by the violent cough, subconsciously stepped forward and patted Ian's back while helping him take off the mask.

The pale face was covered with little red spots, especially around the corners of the eyes, which made Steve feel anxious for a while, and regretted bringing Ian here.

Howard on the hospital bed stared blankly at Ian's side face, frowning, as if realizing that he had admitted the wrong person.
