Chapter 124: It's okay to adopt

Latest website: What kind of building is this?

how to say.

Lake looked at the obviously old and dilapidated building in front of him and said that he was about to collapse, he would believe it.

"Where is this?"

"Formerly a mental hospital in Brooklyn."

"...Why didn't I know this place before."

"Have you been out of Manhattan?"

"Do you mean work or daily?"

"daily?"

"No."

"..."

The excitement of New York lies in Manhattan. Lake is too painful to go to areas outside of Manhattan to play. There are other places and Manhattan, and what is not in other places, but Manhattan still has it.

and……

Frankly speaking, the quality of women in Manhattan is also No.1.

Therefore, Lake couldn't understand the reason why he wanted to go to Manhattan.

George pointed to the abandoned psychiatric hospital and said: "This psychiatric hospital seemed to have had some accident in the past. After it closed, it was abandoned for some reason. After that, it became some homeless people. Homeless people or children who do not want to enter the shelter of the rescue center."

Lake looked at George with contempt: "So, you know, a group of children grew up here without much movement."

George looked at Lake with a blank face: "The problem here is that of the Children's Department. What can we do? In case something goes wrong during the cleaning process, believe it or not, the Children's Department can report us to the New York Police Department. To bankruptcy?"

Lake shrugged: "Okay."

This is the truth.

The most annoying thing about the UNICED is that law enforcement agencies intervene in their work, but unfortunately, the work of the UNICED is often coordinated by law enforcement agencies.

Even if the New York Police Department accepts this, the children can only call the Children's Department to come over. They are all minors. The New York Police Department is not qualified to be detained or taken into custody.

To know.

Here, as long as you are a minor, the New York Police Department cannot handcuff you. It is illegal to even interrogate minor children in the absence of your parents or guardians.

The so-called children's paradise?

Right.

But that's for those children who have families, such as Skye who are unwilling to go to foster families or go to the Children's Department. Living is the goal of this group of people.

Entering this abandoned building, the darkness inside the building instantly replaced the light across the door. It seems that the inside and outside of the building are like two worlds.

Sparsely!

At the end of the corridor on the first floor, a figure seemed to get up after seeing Lake and George walk in, walked into a room quickly, and then just closed the door with a bang.

seem……

The man worried that Lake and George were here to grab the room.

Even here, there are certain social rules. For example, the homeless people living in this building follow a simple rule.

First come first served.

Of course.

If you can beat all the people in the room very well, then you can become the new owner of the room after the beat.

So this is a first-come, first-served society where only winners are qualified.

George took off his sunglasses: "Have you written a few floors?"

Lake took out the note and took a look, then looked at George: "Under the sink in a bathroom on the left in the corridor on the second floor."

Good guys.

There is not even a room left, so why don't you go to the rescue center?

Lake thought so.

In Lake's eyes, although the rescue center is also chaotic, at least it is also a shelter.

The rescue center will not forcefully drive away any underage, and they will not force you out until you are eighteen.

Go up to the second floor.

The wooden stairs underneath rattled, and it seemed that there was a state of fascination, which made Lake no doubt that if he tried hard, the stairs would crack a big hole.

The second floor.

A few homeless people who were in the corridor, leaning on their door and talking bad words, and a few homeless children, after seeing Lake and George, just like the people on the first floor, they chose to close the door directly. .

moment.

The corridor on the second floor is empty.

Lake and George took a look, shook their heads, and directly followed the instructions of Skye's note, looking for a toilet on the left side of the second-floor corridor in the legend.

just?

The door of this special cat is closed, how do you see where the bathroom is?

Lake looked at George: "Have you been here before?"

George shook his head.

Ok.

Lake said in his heart, looked at a door on his left, and knocked.

"Go away."

A sturdy voice sounded inside the door: "There are people in this room, get out of here, otherwise, I will shoot."

Lake raised his eyebrows.

Bang!

Kick the door vigorously.

After the door smashed, it revealed the owner of the house who was also kicked into the house, a scrawny African descent who knew it was another poisonous insect.

Lake tilted his head and smiled: "Can you tell me, where is the restroom on the left side of the corridor on the second floor?"

Li, you don't need to.

What can Lake do is to use soldiers.

First salute and then pawn.

Lake has always insisted on this.

The black poison worm coughed, listening to Lake's words, looking at Glock on Lake's hand, tremblingly pointed his finger next door: "The second room."

Lake nodded: "Thank you."

Go out.

George said to Lake, "It's all a bunch of poor bugs."

Lake glanced at George: "Poisonous insects are never worthy of pity."

The poor people who went bankrupt because of the financial turmoil are indeed pitiful, and Lake will repay his sympathy.

but……

Poor worm?

Ha ha.

What's so pitiful about such a person?

fortunately.

Lake’s foster family has surprisingly consistent views on this matter. Whether it’s Thaddeus or Karen, the education of Lake and Betty has nothing to do with this thing, even if it’s the anesthetic that was popular on campus at the time. Is forbidden.

Every night, Karen will have a special class, with pictures and texts, to tell Lake and Betty about the consequences of smoking with PPT.

Betty was gloomy at the time.

Lake didn't, it was a rare relaxing activity after a meal every day. Drinking Coke and looking at these pictures, it was particularly fragrant.

In the end, both Lake and Betty were taken to see a psychiatrist. One needs to check whether there is a psychological problem, and the other needs the help of a psychiatrist.

After coming out of the poisonous insect's room, Lake took a few steps, pointed at the door that was also closed, and looked at George: "Is it this one?"

George nodded: "Yes."

Lake was too lazy to knock on the door this time, and it was useless to knock. The people here were rude.

Lift your foot and kick.

boom!

"what!"

A pair of disheveled men and women who lived inside let out a scream. It was unbelievable that both men and women were able to arrange this bathroom into a bedroom.

Don’t you feel the scent?

Lake approached without expression and went directly to the side of the sink, stretched out his right hand, and touched an empty space.

What about things?

Lake got up, his gaze fell on the pair of lonely mandarin ducks in front of him, glanced at it, and directly took out his gun: "The thing underneath, three seconds, hand it over."

It's another poisonous insect.

Gosh.

This is really freedom. In other words, when I was in Manhattan, why didn't I see anyone using this thing? Among the friends Lake knows, the attitude towards this kind of thing is rejected.

The disheveled woman tremblingly took out a blue backpack from behind.

Lake took over, opened the zipper, and glanced at it.

A few notebooks, a few folded papers, and a few pieces of clothes grouped together. Although they are very old, they are very clean and have no special taste.

This backpack...

That's all Skye has had in the past thirteen years.

Lake looked up at the man and woman.

Turn around and leave.

He wanted to compensate for the loss of the door, but that was also the compensation for the director of this bankrupt mental hospital.

In the New Amsterdam Hospital.

Inside the elevator.

Lake looked at the backpack in his hand, thought about it, and said to George, "George, is the thing you said at the bar last time true?"

George looked at Lake: "What?"

Lake said, "Can I adopt?"

The environment of the mental hospital was so sad, and, with so many poisonous insects, my God, it was a miracle that Skye was not infected and broken.

Lake then thought of himself.

like……

Adoption is not a big deal. Skye is provided with a comfortable and stable environment. The guest rooms at home are organized into a set, and then an extra pair of chopsticks is added to meals every day.

It doesn't seem to be difficult.

Kindness needs to be passed on.

Lake thought of what Karen had said after returning to Washington this time, because Lake had called Karen to talk about the adoption last time.

Karen can adopt him, why can't he adopt Skye?

George glanced at Lake and said, "Skye doesn't have any relatives. Skye only needs to agree to it, and then the municipality will sign it. You are her guardian."

Ding!

The elevator opens the door.

Lake stepped out of the elevator and said to George, "Do you know anyone in the city? Help me get in touch?"

George said, "Don't you ask Skye's opinion?"

Lake thought about the scene of Skye refusing to go to the operation that day, smiled, and looked at George: "She owes me money, she will definitely agree."

George: "..."

In the ward.

Skye wiped his mouth and said thank you to Martha who had brought breakfast.

Lake walked in and greeted Martha: "Thank you, Martha."

Martha put the bowl away and looked at Lake: "If you know the trouble, just give my Jack a few days off Lake laughed: "How about I give him a month of paid vacation? Let him stay with you? "

Martha is also welcome: "Thank you, then."

Martha has talked with Lake these days, she is trying hard to get the third child, but unfortunately, Jack has been using excuses to be busy with work and not free.

Lake definitely didn't plan to carry this pot.

Jack's action team is his exclusive team. He runs to the hospital all day long. Jack says that he is busy with Martha. This will leave a bad impression on people.

quickly.

Martha left the ward.

Lake immediately looked at Skye on the hospital bed: "How about going home with me after you leave the hospital?"

Skye's mouth grew wide, his expression once again as if looking at Lake after waking up like a perverted eyes: "..."
