For the sake of their health and safety, Stark and his wife didn't immediately contact their personal butler, Jarvis, after they woke up. Instead, they rested for a day and only left Lin Ching-wan's room the next morning.
At that time, the situation was urgent, so Lin Qingwan did not think too much and brought them back. Because the couple had been unconscious, she did not tell the other people in the church that she had saved them, so that she would not have to explain the whole story, which was too troublesome. So now, Lin Ching-wan had to face such a problem.
How could she explain to Father John that there were suddenly two strangers in her room?
Looking at the priest's puzzled expression, Lin Ching-wan deeply felt that it was really too difficult to be a good person!! How could she explain it now? Could she just say that she had saved two living people from the hands of a killer? After all, she had always presented the image of a gentle and harmless person! Suddenly becoming powerful in martial arts or something … It was very suspicious just thinking about it.
She knew that a lie needed countless lies to cover up, and she didn't think she was that smart. Lin Ching-wan decided to let the seemingly intelligent man she had saved explain it to her.
Throwing the problem to Howard, Lin Ching-wan used the excuse of going to the kitchen to get some food and quickly left. She didn't know how he fooled the priest and the others, but when she came back, Father John's eyes were filled with kindness again. There was also relief and admiration in his eyes when he looked at her.
"So, Mr. Stark, when do you plan to leave?" Lin Ching-wan asked.
Pushing aside the carrot that he didn't like, Howard looked at his "savior." "I've already called my butler. If everything goes well, he should be here before noon."
"Well, congratulations on coming home soon," she said with all her heart. Thinking about her own situation, Lin Ching-wan couldn't help but have a little envy in her eyes.
Just like her name, Maria was indeed a kind person. Looking at the confusion, loss, and envy in Lin Ching-wan's eyes, she couldn't help but say, "Lin, why don't you go with us?"
Seeing the surprised look in the girl's eyes, Maria explained, "You said before that you lost your memory. Maybe it was because of the head injury? Or some other injury? But no matter what the reason is, the medical resources in the city center are much better than here, and there is more hope to help you recover your memory and find your family. Just think of it as our repayment, okay? "
She had to admit that Maria's suggestion was indeed good. If that was the case, she might have agreed to it. But Lin Ching-wan was very clear that losing her memory was just an excuse of hers. She just wanted to have a place to stay and look for her missing boundary board. So even if Lin Ching-wan liked Maria, who was like a mother, and was tempted by her proposal, she couldn't leave with them and cause trouble for them.
"Mrs. Stark," she slowly stirred the mashed potatoes on the plate, thinking about the words in her mind, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to try to see if I can remember more things here. After all … this is the place where I was first found."
"Okay then," Maria sighed secretly, but she still insisted, "If you need help one day, please contact us." She really liked this young Asian girl. She could always feel a kind of peace and calmness from this girl, which made her want to get close to her.
"Okay, I will. I will trouble you and Mr. Stark when the time comes," Lin Ching-wan replied with a smile and put the mashed potatoes in the spoon into her mouth.
'It would be great if Howard and I could have a daughter like this.' Maria couldn't help but think. But thinking of her age … she shook her head and put this impossible idea behind her.

The butler came a little later than expected, but not by too much. He even thoughtfully brought a doctor so that he could check on the Stark couple as soon as possible.
"Hey, hey, Jarvis, I'm fine. I don't need a doctor." Howard frowned and blocked the doctor's hand that was holding the stethoscope.
"Sir, I think it's necessary to check your body after such a serious car accident, even if you're still alive and kicking." Butler Edwin Jarvis ignored his master's request and gently thanked the "savior" of his master. His tone was gentle and sincere, "Miss Lin, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I can't imagine what kind of fate my master would have suffered."
Lin Ching-wan had been here for a long time, but it was the first time she met someone as rigid and well-mannered as Jarvis. She couldn't help but be at a loss, "Uh, it's nothing … I believe that as long as it's not a vicious person, anyone would help."
"Anyway, I still hope you can accept our repayment," Jarvis said. "You've helped us so much, and we hope to provide you with some help within our abilities."
"You really don't have to be so polite …" Lin Ching-wan was a little bewildered by Jarvis's polite and sincere words, as if rejecting him was a kind of hurt. But she didn't want to leave before she found what she wanted.
Just as she was about to reject him again, suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation came from afar and shocked her. This feeling, it was like …
"Mr. Jarvis, may I ask … where is that place?"
Lin Ching-wan's white finger pointed in a direction in the void.
The sudden change of topic made Jarvis a little confused. He looked in the direction where her finger was pointing and answered in a puzzled tone, "That's Washington, D.C. What's wrong?"
Washington, D.C. …
Although she wasn't sure, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would always try.
"Mr. Jarvis," For that purpose, Lin Ching-wan didn't mind embarrassing herself, "can you do me a favor?"
"Please say it."
"I want to go to Washington, can you lend me money for a plane ticket?"
"Lin, you're going to Washington?" Maria didn't know when she heard their conversation, but she immediately said, "We're going back to Washington, you can totally go with us." As if she was afraid that Lin Ching-wan would refuse, she added, "Also, it's too dangerous for a girl to travel alone. Isn't that right, Edwin?"
Receiving the look from his wife, the excellent butler Jarvis paused for a moment and quickly swallowed the words "I believe Miss Lin will arrive safely" that he was about to say. Instead, he agreed and said, "Yes, Miss Lin, the world is not peaceful now. A woman like you who is alone is more likely to be targeted by bandits."
"… Then I'll have to trouble you. Thank you, Mrs. Stark and Mr. Jarvis."
"Oh, compared to what you did for me and Howard, this is really not worth mentioning …" Maria smiled kindly at Lin Ching-wan with a loving look in her eyes.
On the other side, Howard Stark, who was sitting in the driver's seat, dialed a familiar number and spoke first before the person on the other side spoke.
