Elena turned her head with a smile and kissed him on the cheek. "Is that a compliment?"
Luke nodded with a smile. "Let's look at the next one?"
Elena bowed and flipped to the second half-finished picture. "Well … Well, I don't know what I'm thinking. Although I admire Batman, I don't see much news about him. Maybe it's because I've been listening to other people's gossip lately? "
Luke looked at the picture, deep in thought. "What's this thing that Batman is holding?"
Elena wasn't sure. "Maybe … a missile or something? Or a rocket? "
Luke asked, "So it's just him and the missile up there?"
Elena bumped her head against his chest. "That's right. That's it. I don't know what else to write. I'm so angry that my chest has been hurting for the past few days. "
Luke had a strange expression on his face. "Really? Let me check it for you. It might not be because you're angry, right? "
Elena's face began to turn red, and she spat at him. "You, you think you're a doctor?"
Luke said calmly, "No, but I know a thing or two about physical examinations."
Elena pinched his back. "You must've examined a lot of people, right?"
Luke chuckled. "After I arrived in New York, I mainly practiced with you."
He wasn't lying.
Compared with Jenny, who was extremely busy, Elena was basically in New York and New Jersey, and spent the rest of her time painting and studying at the academy.
It wasn't easy for Luke and Jenny to be on the same schedule, so he naturally looked for Elena more often.
Elena smiled when she heard that. "But it's time for dinner."
Luke said, "It's fine. I ate a lot for lunch."
Elena pinched his back harder and harder. "But I didn't have enough to eat at noon."
Luke said, "Well, I'll do the physical work. I'll feed you for dinner. You just need to move your mouth."
Elena was already speechless. Her snow-white neck curled up like a swan as she murmured softly.
…
That night, Elena was already sound asleep. Luke, who was holding her, narrowed his eyes as if he were asleep.
On the other side, his clone contacted Robert. "How's your old comrade?"
Robert quickly replied, "The situation is fine, but he doesn't want to join our security company. I think … he might not be able to adapt to this kind of peaceful life. "
Luke said, "Someone on my side needs his help. I'll get in touch with him. Just pretend you don't know about this and don't mention it to anyone. "
Robert was silent for a moment. "What do you not want to say to me?"
Luke said, "If your old comrade is willing to talk, you can ask him directly. Otherwise, it's best if you pretend that you don't know anything. By the way, you and Catherine should pay attention. Remember to tell Claire not to come to New York as much as possible. If they had to come, they would try to stay in Nassau County or Long Island. The same goes for my family. "
Robert pondered for a moment. "Are you worried that the monster attacks will happen again?"
Luke said, "Sort of."
Robert asked, "What about you?"
Luke chuckled. "Ten Claires can't even take one of my fingers. That's why I'm worried about her."
Robert didn't mock him this time. Instead, he asked solemnly, "Are you sure you'll be fine?"
"I'm sure," Luke answered simply.
After a long silence, Robert heaved a long sigh. "Fine, you … have to be careful. If there's real danger, stay away. Police officers aren't soldiers. There's no need to risk your life on the battlefield. "
Luke thought for a moment, then gave a formal guarantee. "No matter what, I'll make my personal safety my top priority. I won't take unnecessary risks."
Robert was stumped for a moment and didn't say anything else, but he was finally a lot less worried.
He knew Luke's personality very well from a young age.
He was someone who would never promise anything he wasn't sure of. He didn't have the hot-bloodedness of young people who would brag about anything.
But that also meant that Luke's words were very truthful, and he was trustworthy as long as he gave a guarantee.
After hanging up, Robert hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he found Frank Castle and told him that someone might be looking for him.
His old comrade had a bad temper, and Robert was really afraid that he would kill the person he found.
Frank frowned. "Who's looking for me?"
Robert swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He didn't want to risk exposing that this matter was related to Luke. "They won't be enemies. I can guarantee that they won't be hostile to you."
Frank simply nodded and didn't say anything else.
After being found by his comrade and brought to Texas, Robert only said that his client had found out about his whereabouts.
But after chatting with his other comrades, Frank learned that Robert had sent someone to look for him for at least half a year after finding out what had happened to him.
He had saved a lot of comrades, but this was the only one who was willing to spend so much time to determine his situation.
Although Robert was weak in combat, he was smarter than Frank.
Before his boss, Ray Schoonover, had explicitly recruited Robert into the team, this vigilant guy had left the team in advance to avoid being silenced for knowing the inside story.
It was only after Frank killed Ray that he slowly figured it out.
Therefore, only the wrong name was useless, there was no such thing as a wrong nickname.
Robert's nickname of "Gray Rabbit" was indeed because he had many thoughts in his mind and was very vigilant.
Of course, at that time, the nickname was more to mock this guy for having a "dirty" mind and for being as timid as a rabbit.
Looking at Robert's family situation now, Frank had nothing to say.
Apart from an adopted son and a stepdaughter, this guy also had a pair of biological children. He got along well with his wife, Catherine, and had a simple job as a sheriff.
When he had nothing to do, he would play with his old comrades with guns, tinker with car modifications, drink beer, and have dinner parties. Life was wonderful.
Occasionally, regret flashed through Frank's heart.
If he had been as vigilant as Robert back then instead of focusing all his attention on fighting, he might have been able to live such a peaceful and warm life with his wife and children after he retired.
Thus, Frank believed Robert when he said that the person coming wasn't dangerous.
At the very least, he wouldn't be ready to draw his gun and kill the other party at any time.
This contact person also arrived very quickly.
After Frank confirmed the time he would arrive in Dallas, the contact sent a text message half a day later and waited for Frank to give him the rendezvous point.
Robert explained some safety matters in advance.
For example, he had to hide his appearance and figure as much as possible during the trip, and he didn't need to prove his identity to anyone. He only needed to say a secret code and a fake name, and the contact would take him to New York.
