Discharged

"Mom, let's go home." These were Sean's first words after regaining consciousness, his eyes closed and tears streaming down his face.

Luca, who was also weeping, merely nodded in agreement.

Having returned from the world of consciousness together, Qin let go of the two boys' hands.

This is the stiff reaction that occurs when someone unaccustomed to being drawn into a state of consciousness fails to fully control their body and understand their physical and environmental state upon returning. They are completely unaware that they are still holding the hand of a strange girl.

But when she tried to let go of her other hand, she unexpectedly found herself being caught.

"Child, who are you?"

"Madam, you're awake!" Qin looked at the patient on the hospital bed, who was holding her hand, with wide eyes.

"You all barged in here, Deadman. How could I not wake up?" Audrey Hepburn said, as she struggled to sit up.

A group of people hurriedly helped to prop up the front half of the hospital bed and placed more pillows behind the woman. During this process, Audrey Hepburn still didn't let go of Jean Grey's hand, asking, "Child, you still haven't said your name?"

Henry spoke first, "Boss, this is X-Men, a potential Phoenix."

"Phoenix, a good name. Henry, he's yours—"

With those darting eyes, Henry knew what embarrassing question the actress wanted to ask without her even saying a word.

He immediately denied it, saying, "No, she's just someone I asked to help. She has boyfriend in the X-Men."

"I won't touch a woman who's already taken; that's a fundamental principle of my life."

A certain Kryptonian declared righteously, "I am not Cao Cao, unless the two Qiao sisters of Jiangdong warm my bed."

The Phoenix in front of us has a pretty face and a great figure, but who has such good teeth Cyclops Wolverine, those two heroes, are not afraid of being crushed and molded. In reality, she'll be crushed and molded.

Realizing her misunderstanding, Audrey Hepburn readily apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, Phoenix, I misunderstood."

However, I'm still very grateful for your help.

"No, I'm glad I could help." Jean tightened her grip on Audrey's hand slightly in response. Then they both let go.

Perhaps it would be strange for the two children to continue crying now that the main character had woken up, so they both fell silent. Luca, the younger son, choked out, "Audrey, shall we go to United States to continue our treatment?"

Reluctantly reaching out to comfort her child, Audrey Hepburn said, "I've seen the most fantastical side of the world, and I've seen the worst."

"I believe I'm always striving to live life to the fullest and do my best in everything. I've had children with the men I've loved, and both of them have grown into very successful men."

"In the final stage of my life, I wanted to spread this love, and I tried my best to do so. However, it is a road without end, and at this moment, I can only choose to hand over the reins."

"Now that it's time to take the final bow, we should properly thank the cast and crew in the end credits, just like in a movie. I've never been in a sequel before, so don't make me an exception."

Audrey reached out her weak hand to Robert, her life partner who was more than a friend, and he grasped Audrey hand with tears streaming down his face.

"I've already tried so hard, shouldn't that be enough?"

Robert sobbed, "Audrey, you did a wonderful job. Not many people did it better than you."

"Then let's go home, Tolochenaz's home."

Although she spoke weakly, Audrey Hepburn, perfectly lucid, had decided on her fate. She turned to her assistant at the back of the crowd and said, "Henry, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"Boss, What If...? this is what you want." The Kryptonian, calm to the point of indifference, was actually unsure how to express his feelings in this situation.

However, after receiving the patient's expressed wishes upon regaining consciousness, even the hospital doctors offered no further comment. They simply instructed Henry to complete the discharge procedures and explained the details of the An Ning care.

Patients discharged from the hospital are not truly free from medical intervention. It simply means that the goal of medical care at this stage is not to cure the disease, but to reduce the patient's suffering.

Although patients don't have the same care and professional nursing care as those in An Ning wards, they can still do many things at home.

Henry will be responsible for relaying these information to others and for providing the main home medical care.

By the time the group had escorted Audrey Hepburn home and settled her in, it was quite late. It was then that Henry noticed an uninvited guest had followed them.

He looked at the Phoenix, who had been busy with everyone until just now, with a speechless expression, and said, "

You haven't left yet.

Jean Grey looked embarrassed, scratched her head, and said, "I didn't find a good time to say goodbye, and then I saw everyone needed help, so..."

Just as she was about to suggest sending him away, Audrey Hepburn, who had just lain down on the bed, spoke up, "Henry, it's so late..."

It's hard to find a hotel outside. Let's prepare a room for the girl and let her stay there.

No, boss, this "little girl" can appear anywhere on Earth whenever she wants. It's completely pointless, okay?

However, Henry didn't voice his inner complaints. Instead, he said, "Okay, boss. Ms. Phoenix, please follow me."

Jean Grey, somewhat taken aback by the man's sudden change in demeanor, said, "Are you crazy? Why are you smiling so strangely?"

"Since you're the boss's guest, politeness is a quality I must demonstrate." Henry's smile was textbook perfect, without the slightest hint of impropriety. But that was precisely the strangest thing about it.

Suppressing the urge to throw a punch, Jean Grey followed Henry to the guest room.

The reason she compromised so easily was because she had been wandering ever since the last alien war. She hadn't returned home.

They went to the X-Men's school, but not to the Brotherhood of Mutants ' sanctuary.

Due to pressure from the U.S. government, the X-Men dared not openly take her in, and Jean didn't want to cause trouble for the Genosha Island sanctuary.

Although she had contacted both parties and explained her situation, she had been living a homeless life for more than half a year.

Raven's intention in being called in to help this time was to show that she was still needed and could still be of assistance, rather than being a burden that everyone avoided.

This belief that I am still valuable to society or to someone is like a mooring rope that keeps me anchored in the harbor, preventing my heart from drifting aimlessly at sea.

The warmth of Ms. Hepburn's handshake also temporarily dispelled her unease.

What If...? it weren't for that alien, everything would be perfect.
