Chapter 125: Adopt Skye

Mid-August of 2002.

Lake sat at home waiting for someone to come and check.

Someone from the Family Court will come here to assess whether Lake's information is eligible for adoption.

just…

After Lake heard the doorbell, he opened the door and looked at the neighbor Richard Cassel who appeared at the door somewhat speechlessly and said, "Why are you running here?"

Kassel went directly into the house: "Come here and help you complete the inspection."

Lake chuckled and closed the door again: "If you can raise Alexis by yourself, then so can I."

It's not something to be raised from a baby.

How difficult is it to develop an adolescent girl?

Kassel turned to look at Lake, then pointed to the wine cabinet in the open kitchen: "Unqualified."

"…what are you saying?"

"The wine cabinet needs to be locked."

Kassel shrugged: "Trust me, you never want to see a 13-year-old girl after drinking, and you don't want to be found by the family court."

Lake: "..."

After half an hour.

Lake stood in the living room and looked around his living room. He always felt that this was no longer his own living room. It was completely locked and there was no freedom of living room.

All the fine wine he scattered around the living room was put into the wine cabinet, and the wine cabinet was still locked.

His gun cabinet, which was originally used for display and full of weapons, was now completely empty.

even…

In the dining room, the mine-shaped furnishings that were originally placed in the middle of the dining table were also thrown into the kitchen.

Lake returned to his senses and looked at Kassel, who had changed his house within half an hour: "This is too exaggerated!"

Kassel said: "This is an exaggeration. You should see what changes happened in her family when Mrs. Michel on the fifth floor adopted a three-year-old child."

"what?"

"You know that Mrs. Michel was originally a loyal member of the National Firearms Association."

"Ok."

"All the furniture in her house was replaced, and all the guns were collected in her warehouse at the port."

"..."

Lake shook his head and looked at Kassel: "So, that's it?"

Kassel said, "Is Skye's bedroom cleaned up?"

Lake pointed to the second floor: "There are so many rooms on the second floor, everything is complete, how do I need to clean up?"

Kassel couldn't help but patted his forehead.

Lake: "..."

after an hour.

Lake and the people from the family court were sitting on the sofa and chatting, and Kassel directed the IKEA staff to carry all kinds of living furniture.

After the two family court men looked at them, they looked at Lake.

Lake pushed his glasses, smiled and said, "I ordered the furniture for several days, but it just arrived, I'm sorry."

This is completely different from the multiple people and multiple pairs of chopsticks I imagined.

Lake thought so.

The family court staff also smiled and said: "Major Edwin, this time we are here only for a routine check. Your information is perfect and it meets the standards of adoption."

Lake said: "So, I passed the level?"

Another female staff member, looking at the layout of the living room and the dining room in the distance, pointed to the locked wine cabinet and the cleared gun cabinet, and looked at Lake: "We can see that Major Edwin has treated this Things are very careful."

Lake said thank you.

Ignoring the words heard at the top of the stairs, he gestured to Kassel who asked him for credit.

At noon.

The two family court staff smiled and rejected Lake's lunch invitation, and then left.

Lake and Kassel lay on the sofa.

Exhausted.

Lake glanced at Kassel lying on the opposite sofa, and said something wrong: "Wait, how did you know that you passed the inspection, could it be Alexey..."

I found Watson, blind spot.

Kassel stood up and sat up: "Alexis is my biological daughter."

Lake also got up and looked at Kassel.

Kassel waved his hand and opened his mouth: "Well, in fact, when Alexis was ten years old, I was busy with writing, which caused Alexis to be lost once. After that, the people from the Children's Department came over. It's troublesome for me, and even the Family Court sent someone to make a final ruling on me."

As Lake listened, his expression became a little weird.

"Hey!"

Cassell looked at Lake's gradually appearing expression and pointed at Lake: "No one told me what to do at home at the time. You owe me a thank you, not a mockery."

Lake struggled to hold his face and shrugged: "Okay, thank you."

Kassel glanced at Lake with some speechlessness, got up, and walked towards the door.

Lake was helpless, so he could only turn around, and once again thanked Kassel very sincerely, and promised that when he had time, he would invite the Kassel family to a high-end restaurant.

Only then did Kassel leave with some satisfaction.

Lake looked at the list of credit cards he had just swiped on the spot, and the high-end restaurant in Kassel just now, looking up, his eyes were full of confusion.

He has a feeling of being pitted.

The credit card bill of $13,000 just spent is the best proof.

It was another week later.

New Amsterdam Hospital.

After undergoing the re-examination and general health required by Lake repeatedly, it was confirmed that at this moment, the state of health was completely dealt with, not sub-health, but completely healthy. Skye and Lake walked out of the hospital together.

boarding.

Lake looked at Skye who was silent on the co-pilot, smiled, and drove away.

Star Building.

Lake opened the door, turned to look at Skye who was standing at the door and said, "Come in."

Skye looked at Lake: "Aren't you afraid that I will stain your house?"

Lake laughed.

no doubt.

Skye is very vengeful.

Lake nodded and said, "I am afraid that others will step on my home."

As he said, Lake didn’t wait for the expression on Skye’s face to change, and said again: “But, this is our home, and it’s also your home, so you can walk in with your feet clinging to the dirt, as long as you clean it up. it is good."

Skye: "..."

In the room on the second floor.

Lake walked behind Skye, looking at this large room with bay windows, a brand new large bed and wardrobe, computer desk and dressing table, and looked at Skye standing in the room: "How do you like it? "

Skye's eyes fell on the soft-looking bed: "I never did."

Lake said, "The room?"

Skye turned to look at Lake: "Bed."

Even when she was in a foster family, she didn't have her own room. The sofa was the best. Sometimes, she couldn't sleep too much, because there were always disgusting foster fathers who wanted to kiss Fangze.

Lake felt like something hit his heart.

This means that Lake is a man, and if he needs to change to a woman, he will probably burst into tears on the spot.

There was silence for a while.

Lake smiled and looked at Skye: "You can clean up first, and we will go out later."

Skye's own clothes are already very old, perhaps in Skye's eyes, they are still wearable, but in Lake's or most people's eyes, they are of the kind that can be discarded.

So Lake plans to take Skye to buy some new clothes.

to this end.

Lake directly summoned Alexis to come back from school, gave Alexis his credit card, and then asked Alexis to take Skye to the mall for shopping.

Kassel is the driver.

He is very depressed.

Kassel looked at Lake: "I just drank three cups of coffee, ready to write at home."

Lake said: "I made an appointment with the dean of the University of Midtown in the afternoon. You can choose to meet with me."

Kassel waved his hand quickly: "I'll be the driver."

Lake smiled.

At Kassel High School, he had transferred to many schools, and Midtown College was one of them. The dean of the university at the time was still Niris now.

Adoption is not just pat on the forehead and say adoption.

Be responsible.

Learning is to be responsible.

Lake has always insisted that studying can improve himself, so even after having the hope of becoming a god, Lake still chose to go to university for further study.

and so.

Skye also has to learn. Lake doesn't want to cause Skye, the super hacker who can easily hack into major systems in the future, to evaporate directly from the world because of his own adoption.

Skye was very resistant to buying clothes.

After all, she is not used to it yet.

But Lake said directly to Skye: "You can choose to let me go with you, or you can choose to go with Alexis."

Skye chose Alexis.

After Lake bid farewell to Kassel at the door of the apartment, he returned to the National Land Building. Skye’s fingerprints had been entered into the system. Lake had a meeting with David Bass to attend in the afternoon, so after dealing with Kassel, Back to the country building.

There is intelligence from Langley that there is a terrorist organization intending to carry out terrorist operations on the mainland.

New York is the first among them.

This time the meeting was held in response to this incident. However, after only receiving wind, Langley’s overseas agents are trying to obtain more information. The seals from Quantico have also been frequently in Langley recently. Attack and question under the guidance of the officer.

Wait until the meeting is over.

Assistant Tiffany walked to Lake's side: "Sir, UU Reading Ms. Neris is already waiting for you in your office."

Lake nodded and talked to David next to him, and then walked towards his office.

Enter the office.

With an apologetic look, Lake turned to the Dean of Academic Affairs of Midtown College, Nilith, who was sitting on the sofa and waiting for a while and said: "Dr. Neris, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Neris got up and shook hands with Lake: "Major Edwin."

Lake raised his eyebrows: "Dr. Neris knows me?"

Niris said: "A few months ago, I happened to attend the National High School Congress in Washington. I agree with Major Edwin's saying that the truth is national security."

Lake smiled and said, "Thank you, please sit down."
