Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 254: Past entanglements!
Norton's reminder did not have any effect on Irina. Irina pressed the communication button under the tempered glass and called another doctor in the inner room.

The doctor came out and looked at Irina.

Irina asked, "What are the chances of her returning to normal?"

The doctor shook his head slightly: "It's very slim. We are not even 10% sure whether the memory can be restored. As for the IQ, it should recover slowly over time, but to what extent it can be restored in the end, this cannot be judged. Sorry!"

"The patient has been in a bedridden coma for two years, so her muscle health is very poor and all her muscle functions are at the lowest level. She is currently unable to walk on her own, but I can guarantee her physical recovery, it just takes time!"

"How long will it take?" Roy asked.

"About 2-3 years..." the doctor replied.

Roy nodded slightly.

Roy believed what the doctor said. The high level of medical care provided by the organization was completely beyond Roy's expectations.

You know, Presbyterian Hospital is definitely one of the best in the United States. In the past two years, countless experts have been brought together and millions of dollars have been spent, but not even one doctor has said that Irene can wake up.

Many people have advised Roy to give up, but he refused every time, including lobbyists from insurance companies.

At that time, seeing that Roy was stubborn and could not be persuaded, the insurance company directly refused to provide coverage and cut off Irene's medical expenses.

The hospital also notified Roy to take the patient away, because the cost of subsequent treatment and maintaining vital signs would be astronomical. The hospital investigated Roy and found that with his salary level, he was simply unable to support the expensive medical expenses.

Medical bills are even more impossible.

Because the hospital believed that there was no way Irene would wake up.

That way I'll be hospitalized forever.

Roy is not a super rich man, so his debts will eventually become bad debts.

At that time, no one thought that Roy would sell all his property just to save his sister's life.

What Roy was thinking at the time was, what if a miracle happened?

However, a miracle really happened...

After joining the police force, a plug-in appeared and he turned his life around, met Irina, joined the organization, and used the organization's advanced medical level to save his sister.

If he had chosen to give up at that time, would there have been the miracle we have now?

The answer is of course not...

Roy turned around and looked at Irina with gratitude.

Cough cough--

Norton coughed twice.

Roy turned his head and looked at Norton: "Do you mind if we talk alone?"

Oh?
Norton raised his chin.

It is obvious that he feels that he is redundant here.

Norton smiled slightly: "Of course... no problem, you guys go ahead, I'll go outside and smoke a cigarette first."

After saying this, Norton turned around with a smile on his face, pressed open the telescopic door, walked out of the medical room, and came outside. The telescopic door behind him closed naturally. Norton took out an exquisite metal cigarette case from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette from it, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, the bodyguard quickly took out his lighter and lit it.

He took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.

Norton turned around and leaned against the metal wall opposite the retractable door, staring at the metal retractable door.

The black bodyguard whispered beside Norton: "Do we need more manpower?"

Norton raised his hand to indicate no.

The black bodyguard retreated tactfully.

Medical room.

After Norton left, the doctor also entered the inner room.

Only Roy, Irina and Selina were left in the outer room.

Roy looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling.

Selina stepped forward, stepped on the chair, and cut off the monitoring data and power cables.

Roy whispered, "Are you really going to Washington with him?"

Irina nodded: "Yes!"

"Not only did your private plane carry members of the Cerberus Corps, it also specially changed its route to send them to HK and Washington..." Roy looked worried.

"I have to go. If I don't go, wouldn't it be proved that I am collaborating with the enemy? I have my own way to explain to No. 2." Irina also lowered her voice.

"I'll disguise myself as you and go for you!" Selena said from the side.

Irina shook her head. "Outsiders may not be able to tell the difference between you and me, but those old foxes in the Supreme Council can tell the difference."

"This..." Selina looked worried, "I'm afraid if you go there this time, they will detain you..."

"Don't worry! I have my own way to deal with them!"

Seeing Irina's firm attitude, Roy and Selina didn't know what to say.

Irina walked forward, hugged Roy, put her red lips against Roy's ear, whispered an address and a person's name to Roy, and told him that if something unexpected happened after she left, he should go to this address to find that person.

With a gentle kiss, Irina left the medical room.

Seeing the metal door of the medical room open, Norton took out the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth. His bodyguard immediately handed him a portable ashtray, and Norton inserted the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Irina said to Norton: "Let's go!"

Norton smiled slightly and walked towards the exit of the base.

Medical room.

Serena said, "You need to get checked out and rest."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll stay here and watch over her." Roy stared at Irene who was sleeping on the hospital bed.

Seeing Roy's firm attitude, Selena stopped trying to dissuade him.

Roy is not a normal person.

But Selena is still a normal human being.

A series of events combined with the flight time of more than ten hours had already exhausted Selena physically and mentally.

With a tired look on her face, Serena yawned and said, "I'm going to my sister's office to take a shower first. Come to my office if you have anything!"

"Ok!"

Roy hummed without turning his head.

Serena also left the medical room.

Base underground parking lot.

Norton opened the door of the Maybach for Irina.

Irina took the back seat.

Norton walked around to the other side, opened the door, got in, and also sat in the back seat.

His two bodyguards, one in black and one in white, got on the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat respectively.

A convoy of three cars, consisting of two Mercedes-Benzes and a Maybach, drove out of the underground parking lot and headed quickly towards the National Guard Air Force Base in the suburbs of New York.

On the way, Norton closed the front window to separate the front and back rows.

Turning his head to look at Irina's profile, Norton asked, "Are they okay?"

Irina looked out the car window, at the buildings that were rapidly receding, and said, "K and N are dead..."

Upon hearing that K and N were dead, Norton fell silent.

After a long while, Norton asked, "Did my brother say anything before he died?"

Irina shook her head: "I don't know!"

Norton took out a cigarette: "You don't mind?"

"Give me one!" Irina held out her hand.

Norton put the cigarette in his hand into Irina's hand, took out another cigarette from the cigarette box, put it in his mouth, lit it, lowered the car window, took a deep puff, and exhaled the smoke out of the window.

Irina lit a cigarette and opened a crack in the car window.

"How did he die?" Norton murmured. "For Roy." Irina said.

"For him..." Norton took two long puffs of the cigarette, his mood was obviously fluctuating, and his hand holding the cigarette was obviously trembling slightly.

Irina said "hmm".

"Roy was there when N died. Did he kill N?" Norton asked, looking out the window.

"No, it was his own chosen death!"

"Tell me, what's going on..."

"N was injured while trying to stop Roy from moving forward. Makarov's pursuers caught up with him. At the time, the environment was an underground tunnel with no shelter. In order to cover Roy's escape, N detonated the C4, which collapsed the tunnel..."

Norton looked up at the sky, his facial expressions changing back and forth. He finished the cigarette in his mouth in two puffs, flicked the butt out of the car window, and lit another one.

"So, when my brother died, only Roy was present?"

"Ok!"

"Did Roy tell you all this?"

Norton looked at Irina.

"No, it's Maggie..."

"Maggie?"

"Their communications remained connected the entire time, and all the conversations were heard by the Cerberus members who were involved at the time."

"Um……"

Norton, feeling uneasy, lit up his third cigarette.

Irina looked out the window quietly...

Norton's voice reached Irina's ears again: "Maggie...Maggie, is she okay?"

"She's fine..." Irina turned her head to look at Norton and asked, "Why? Are you still thinking about her?"

Hearing Irina's words, Norton laughed at himself and shook his head helplessly.

"If you hadn't expressed your love for Maggie back then, how could Asmodeus have kept you in the organization?" Irina said.

"Haha!" Norton laughed at himself again and sighed, "I lost my patience..."

Back then, the precocious Norton fell in love with Maggie at first sight.

During the training in Brazil, Norton protected Maggie everywhere, and even killed three classmates who teased Maggie before the test for her.

The Eusebiyya plan was brutal.

According to the rules, Norton should have been executed.

However, he was saved by Eva Li, the No. 1 North American organization and the developer and executor of the Eusebiah Plan, because Norton was ruthless and strong enough.

Over the years, Norton has always been by Maggie's side, protecting her silently.

During an assessment, Norton and Maggie were assigned to the same group.

According to the rules, there are 32 people in this group, and only one can survive. In the final of the ring, it was Maggie against Norton.

At that time, Norton deliberately let the water go and wanted to die.

Maggie didn't kill Norton either.

The instructors could no longer bear to watch this and announced on the spot that they would execute them both. This time, it was Eva Li who stopped the execution again.

In terms of emotions, Norton is a giving person who can give up his life anytime and anywhere for the one he loves.

but……

The fate of the bootlicker ends here.

Maggie has always thought of Norton as her brother.

No one can explain love for sure.

I treat you as my brother, and you lick me there yourself. What can Maggie do?

However, Norton's personality and mind are relatively normal, and he is not as abnormal and paranoid as Charlotte.

When Norton was assigned to the organization, in order to prevent him from having to come into contact with Maggie for a long time, Asmodeus assigned Norton to the European organization.

Charlotte is organized in North America.

However, Charlotte became too proud of herself because she was assigned to the same group as Irina, and she secretly courted and harassed Irina several times.

Unable to bear it any longer, Irina reported the matter to Asmodeus.

Asmodeus immediately made adjustments and exchanged Charlotte with Norton. In this way, Norton stayed in the North American organization, Charlotte went to the European organization, and Maggie was assigned to the Guardian organization.

"I advise you not to think about her anymore," Irina said.

Hearing this, Norton turned his head to look at Irina and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Even if Asmodeus is dead, you can't. Maggie has never loved you. She has always treated you and N as brothers and the closest relatives, not lovers."

Hearing Irina's words, Norton's breathing became rapid. He immediately lit the fourth cigarette and smoked it hard.

Irina looked at Norton: "Letting go of your obsession will benefit you, him, everyone, and everyone. If you can't let go of your obsession, you will eventually become Charlotte, a perverted paranoid, and be despised."

"Haha! Do you think I'm Charlotte?"

Norton looked at Irina.

"Self-admiration can't change anything. The mental exhaustion caused by obsession will always torture you and eventually harm you," Irina said.

"My love is pure, clean, and great. I am still a virgin..." Norton stopped here.

After all, the following words have a somewhat derogatory meaning.

"Charlotte said he was too..." Irina said, staring into Norton's eyes.

Norton: “…”

The corners of Norton's mouth twitched.

Let's just say that Charlotte's obsession is bigger, crazier, and more BT. He has secretly sworn that in this life, it must be Irina...

Anyway, this is the first time in my life, I must have Irina.

If it weren't for this oath with God, Selena would have been in great danger when she was caught.

I have to say that some religious bigoted white people are indeed very stubborn and single-minded in some aspects.

Hey--

Norton sighed heavily.

They all came from the Eusebiah Project and had lived together for many years, so Norton knew Charlotte's character.

Later, after Asmodeus switched him with Charlotte, Norton also heard some of the crazy things Charlotte did.

Norton naturally had eyes on Irina's trip to France, and he was aware of what Charlotte did and the crazy things she did in the conference room of the Park Hyatt Hotel.

Irina was making a point about herself.

Norton knew this very well.

What is Charlotte like now? She has become disabled and has been captured. She is currently in the Mercedes-Benz following behind.

"You don't have to worry about that! I am not Charlotte Peel, and I will never become him. I am me and he is him..." Norton murmured.

"That would be best..."

Irina looked out the window and said.

What Norton didn't know was that Maggie already had someone in her heart, and that person was Roy von Weizsäcker.

Liking and loving are very strange things, and no one can really explain them.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try or how hard you lick, you still can’t get it.

Sometimes, you don’t think about anything, and it comes...

The convoy drove into the air force base.

Two Air Force helicopters were waiting on the tarmac...
