Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

Qin, who came back from the conscious world together, let go of the hands of the two big boys.

This is the stiffness that occurs when someone who is not used to being pulled into a state of consciousness fails to fully control their body and understand the state of their body and environment when returning. He didn't even notice that he was still holding the hand of a strange girl.

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

"Kid, who are you?"

"Ma'am, you're awake!" Qin looked at the patient on the bed in surprise, holding her hand and looking at her with wide eyes.

"You all came in and made so much noise. How could I not wake up?" Audrey Hepburn said as she struggled to sit up.

A group of people worked together to raise the front of the bed and put more pillows behind the woman. During this process, Audrey Hepburn still didn't let go of Jean Grey's hand and asked, "Child, you still haven't said your name?"

Henry spoke first: "Boss, this is the X-Men's backup fighter, Phoenix."

"Phoenix, what a nice name. Henry, it's yours..."

Her eyes flickered around, and without her even saying anything, Henry knew what embarrassing question the actress wanted to ask.

He immediately denied it, "No, I'm just someone I've called in to help. She has a boyfriend in the X-Men. I don't touch girls who are already taken. That's my life principle."

A certain Kryptonian said righteously, "I am not a thief of Cao, unless I am the second Qiao of Jiangdong to warm my bed."

The Phoenix girl in front of us has a good appearance and figure, but who has such good teeth... Only the two brave men, Cyclops and Wolverine, are not afraid of being bullied, but in reality, they are bullied.

Audrey Hepburn, realizing her misunderstanding, apologized promptly, saying, "I'm sorry, Phoenix. I misunderstood. But thank you very much for helping me."

"No, I'm glad I could help." Jean responded, slightly tightening her handshake with Audrey. Then they both let go.

Perhaps it was because the protagonist had woken up, and it was strange for the two children to continue crying, so they both fell silent. Luca, the youngest son, choked up and said, "Audrey, can we go to the United States to continue treatment?"

Reluctantly reaching out to comfort her child, Audrey Hepburn said: "I have seen the world at its most fantastical, and I have also seen it at its worst.

"I think I'm always trying to live my life to the best of my ability. I have children with the men I love, and both of them have grown up to be very good men.

"In the final stage of my life, I hope to spread this love, and I have tried hard to do so. However, this is a road with no end, and at this moment I can only choose to pass on the baton.

"Now that we're at the end of the show, it's time to thank the cast and crew with a credits song that fits the movie. I've never been in a sequel, so don't make an exception for me."

Audrey extended her weak hand to Robert, her life partner who was more than just a friend. He held her hand with tears in his eyes.

"I've tried so hard, this should be enough."

Robert burst into tears and said, "Audrey, you did a great job. Not many people can do better than you."

"Then let's go home, to Troshna's house."

Although she spoke weakly, Audrey Hepburn, still fully conscious, had decided her own fate. She turned to look at her assistant behind the crowd and said, "Henry, I'm going to trouble you again."

"Boss, if this is what you want." The Kryptonian, who was so calm that he was almost indifferent, actually didn't know what kind of mood he should express in such a situation.

However, even the hospital doctors did not express any other opinions after hearing Henry's wishes after he regained consciousness. They simply asked Henry to go through the discharge procedures and explain the details of hospice care.

Discharged patients are not completely free from medical treatment. It is just that the purpose of medical treatment at this stage is not to cure the disease, but to reduce the patient's pain.

Although patients may not be in a hospice ward with prescriptions from doctors and professional care from nurses after returning home, there are still many things they can do at home.

Henry will be responsible for relaying this to others and will also take on the primary responsibility for home medical care.

By the time they sent Audrey Hepburn home and settled her down, it was already quite late. Henry then discovered that an uninvited guest had followed him.

He looked at the Phoenix Girl, who had been busy running around with everyone and had just finished, with a speechless expression, and said, "You haven't left yet."

Jean Grey looked embarrassed and scratched her head. "I couldn't find a good time to say goodbye, and since everyone needed help, I just..."

Just as he was about to say send her away, Audrey Hepburn, who had just laid down on the bed, said, "Henry, it's so late, it's hard to find a hotel outside. Please help the girl get a room and let her stay."

: No, boss, this 'little girl' can appear anywhere on Earth at any time if she wants. This is completely meaningless, okay.

But Henry didn't say his inner complaints out loud. Instead, he said, "Okay, boss. Ms. Phoenix, please follow me."

Jean Grey was a little uncomfortable with the man's sudden change of expression and said, "Are you crazy? You're laughing so strangely."

"Since you are the boss's guest, I must be polite." Henry's smile was textbook-like, without a trace of error. But this was the strangest part.

Resisting the urge to punch, Jean Grey followed Henry to the guest room.

The reason she compromised so easily was that she had been wandering since the last alien war, neither returning to the X-Men school nor going to the Brotherhood of Mutants' shelter.

Because of pressure from the US government, the X-Men did not dare to take her in openly, and Jean did not want to cause trouble for the shelter on Genosha Island.

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

When she was called in to help this time, Riven actually wanted to show that she was still needed and could still help, rather than being a burden that everyone avoided.

For many people, the idea that I am still valuable to society or to someone is like a rope that keeps them anchored to the harbor, preventing their hearts from drifting on the sea.

In addition, the warmth brought by Ms. Hepburn's handshake temporarily dispelled her uneasiness.

Everything would be perfect if there weren't some alien.

Chapter 200 The End of Life

The two children of Ms. Hepburn had their own lives and things to do, so they left again. However, they still asked Henry to contact them at any time if there was anything.

At times like this, instead of complaining about wasted trip, it’s better to worry about whether you might have missed something.

Judging from this explanation, everyone knew what was about to happen. They just didn't say it out loud.

However, there was one unexpected person who stayed. That was Jean Grey, the Phoenix girl known as 'Phoenix'.

Henry was shoveling snow early in the morning, watching Phoenix Girl playing with the dogs, or rather being besieged by five dogs. The assistant who was shoveling the snow was speechless.

These five Jack Russell terriers are really not afraid of death. Don’t they know that they might become BBQ at any minute?

"What disrespectful thing are you thinking about?" Jean Grey asked suddenly.

"No! I didn't!" Henry replied firmly. But then he realized who the other person was and said guiltily, "I just thought it was great that you were willing to stay and help."

This was the truth. Because the person he was caring for was a woman, there were always things Henry couldn't help with.

Although he had Robert, his so-called life partner, he was also in his fifties, almost sixty, and there were things he couldn't do. If he wasn't careful, they might both fall and get hurt, which would be even worse.

So the appearance of Jean Grey at this time filled the gap in care very well.

Phoenix Girl, aware of her own importance, said proudly, "When I was in the youth school, I was also responsible for logistics and medical care. These are nothing to me."

"Yeah." Henry didn't object. He just subconsciously didn't want to get too involved in that topic. And at that moment, his snow sculpture was just one shovel away from being finished.

When he applied the final stroke, a vivid Snoopy was sitting in the courtyard.

The whole sculpture process was so impressive to Jean Grey. Yesterday it was the Genie from Disney's Aladdin, and the day before yesterday it was Garfield.

If she knew that before Ms. Hepburn was hospitalized again, Henry had made replicas of famous sculptures, I wonder what she would think.

Every day that followed was quite ordinary, with no major changes. Henry would pick a time to practice piano, and they would read together in the afternoons.

It was just that Henry was mostly reading, with Ms. Hepburn as the audience. The content was, of course, the promised, one thousand love stories from different cultural backgrounds, one a day.

While reciting in the original language, I translate into English or French, explaining the culture and story background, and selecting the best translations. Then I write it down...

Even Jean Grey enjoyed this time. As Ms. Hepburn once said, as long as you are a woman, no matter how old you are, you can never get enough of love stories.

The final countdown passed minute by minute in this dull life. Until January 19, Ms. Hepburn fell into an abnormal coma again.

Henry called the woman's two children and said, "Maybe the time is almost up. Please come back as soon as possible."

The next day, Sean Farrier and Luca Dotti rushed back to their home in Trochna, Switzerland. A family doctor and nurse set up simple monitoring equipment, including a heart rate monitor.

Perhaps everyone was mentally prepared for the arrival of this day, so the atmosphere did not seem as tense as imagined.

Not only did non-smokers start smoking, but those who already smoked started smoking even more, just short of putting a pack of cigarettes in their mouths and lighting them up.

Everyone was very restrained in drinking and didn't get drunk.

Although they would occasionally go to the courtyard to get some fresh air, they spent most of their time around Ms. Hepburn's bedside.

The television was the only sound in the room besides the beeping of other instruments, and the news happened to be reporting something about Audrey Hepburn.

In December of last year, President George H.W. Bush awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. At the time, she was too ill to fly across the ocean, so someone from the White House received the medal on her behalf and later transferred it to Switzerland.

Another piece of news concerned Nobel Peace Prize winner Mother Teresa. Upon learning of Audrey Hepburn's critical illness, she urged all nuns to pray for her through the night, hoping for a miraculous recovery. The prayers echoed around the world.

From the news footage coming from all over the world, it's clear this is a highly valuable piece of publicity, but who benefits from it? I mean, the people in this room don't care about this.

On the evening of the 20th, Ms. Hepburn's family physician declared her dead and turned off all the equipment.

A feeling of sadness spread among the group of people around the woman's bed, including her life partner Robert and her two children Sean and Luca.

Henry, Jean Grey, and the other maids stood at the outer edge of the room, most of them weeping quietly. It was a rare opportunity to have such a considerate employer.

No one is not saddened by the passing of Ms. Audrey Hepburn.

Even Jean Grey, who had only been with them for a few days, was infected by the same sadness.

Henry was the only one whose calmness could almost be described as abnormal. But at a time like this, having someone who could handle things calmly, allowing others to fully indulge in their sorrow, didn't seem to be a bad thing.

On the 24th, Ms. Hepburn's funeral was held at a church in the town of Troshna, presided over by Reverend Maurice Endiger, who also officiated the wedding of Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrier in 1960 and baptized their child Sean.

Many friends and family attended the funeral, including her two sons, Robert Wardes, her half-brother Ian Quarles Van Ufford, and her ex-husbands Mel Farrier and Andre Doty.

Of course, her close friend Hubert de Givenchy was in attendance, as were many senior UNICEF executives.

Among those in the Hollywood circle, the most famous are the legendary French actor Alain Deren and Roger Moore, who played the role of 007 and was the second generation James Bond.

Gregory Parker, the actor who played the lead in "Roman Holiday," sent flowers, as did Hollywood queen Elizabeth Taylor and the Dutch royal family.

The funeral was delivered by Rev. Agh Sadruddin Khan Salood of UNICEF.

The pallbearers for the lady were the six most important men in her life: Givenchy, Mel Farrier, Andre Dotti, Robert Wardes, Sean Farrier and Luca Dotti.

The sight of six people walking harmoniously together, bidding farewell to the same beloved woman, speaks volumes. The final word on a person's life hinges on this moment.

Audrey Hepburn was finally buried in the Tolochenaz Cemetery in the town of Troshna, where her life ended at the age of 63.

Chapter 201 Funeral Banquet

After the funeral, a funeral banquet was held at Ms. Hepburn's former residence in the small town of Troshna where relatives and friends commemorated the lady.

Henry, who had just finished his work, was staying in the attic, packing his luggage and preparing to pack his things back to his rented house in Los Angeles.

With the employer gone, the job is also gone. As for the final month's salary, which is less than one month's salary, it should be possible to ask Ms. Hepburn's lawyer for payment.

Matters related to money, tax returns, and Audrey Hepburn's property investment projects were all handled by an old friend of the lady, a lawyer with whom she had worked for a long time.

Henry also had to settle the petty cash that Ms. Hepburn had left with him and return the supplementary credit card. He had to sign for all the necessary receipts.

What can I say about this? Someone has died, but the living must continue to live, and the rules of the world cannot be ignored, especially money, which can easily lead to disputes.

"Henry, are you up there?" someone called toward the attic stairs.

"Yes. Is there anything downstairs missing?" Henry prepared most of the funeral feast. It was mainly cold dishes, not much that needed to be eaten hot. If something ran out, they would have to be replenished or replaced.

But the man standing at the attic stairs wasn't asking Henry to come down to help. It was an old German man with a Mediterranean baldness, Arnie Adler, Ms. Hepburn's lawyer.

He said, "Because the lady's family all have their own lives and are far apart, it might not be convenient to reunite in the future. Therefore, the will will be read tonight, and I'm here to inform you to be present."

As Henry walked down, he said in surprise: "What am I doing here when the will is being read?"

"Your presence is, of course, related to you. Don't run around at night, or I'll have to notify you separately."

"Uh, okay. I'll be there." After agreeing, Henry asked, "Mr. Adler, what should I do with my final salary, the allowance, and the credit card my boss left with me?"

"Oh, about this part, the lady told me to settle it with you before she died, and there's a special fund to handle these expenses. Coincidentally, the accountant is here too, so come with me to see him and settle this part."

Henry asked, "Is there any quiet place in the house? Or should we go to the attic?"

The two of them looked around the house, and Lawyer Adler said, "I'd better bring the man to the attic."

"Okay. Then I'll go prepare the documents and the things to be handed over."

"Row."

After a while, Lawyer Adler came up to the attic with another old German man.

This place was originally used as a warehouse, but since Henry moved in, he cleaned and tidied it up, making a small living room and room. This is much larger than the room originally allocated to him downstairs.

It was just someone packing up their belongings before leaving, so it looked a bit messy. Fortunately, it wasn't dirty and the lighting was quite bright.

Seeing this, Ani Adler asked, "Henry, are you moving out so soon?"

"My job is to be the boss's assistant. Now that the boss is gone, and I can't communicate with spirits, I can't be her spokesperson on earth or something like that. If I don't leave, what else can I do?" Henry said with a smile.

"Robert or Sean didn't talk to you?"
