Chapter 244 Chapter 244 [VIP]

Megan played with Poison Ivy. When she first arrived, she was always feeling a little depressed, so Poison Ivy took her to the botanical garden and to the expo to see plants and flowers imported from other countries.

There were many novel flowers with peculiar shapes or brilliant colors. There were many people at the expo. Megan walked among the crowd, with Poison Ivy accompanying her. She was at ease, and like many others, she was looking at the plants in the display cases. Some precious and delicate plants were stretching in the ecological boxes, isolated from most of the adverse factors in the outside world, while outside the display cases, some people were taking pictures with cameras.

Poison Ivy had been following the child's steps. When she saw Megan holding a mobile phone, she looked at the others around her before following the crowd and opening her camera to take pictures of the exhibits. However, she did not look for an angle. She just pointed the lens at the plants and pressed the shooting button.

Megan doesn't like playing with her mobile phone because there are many things in her life that are more interesting than mobile phones. She rarely uses a camera, so she takes pictures in a messy way. In fact, she doesn't really want to leave any images, so she doesn't care about the shooting effect.

"That's weird." Megan encountered another problem that she didn't quite understand, but she didn't care about the differences between herself and others - everyone is different, it's normal, and being a loner is not something that needs to be judged. She just tried their behavior, and when she realized it was still boring, she stopped.

When she said 'strange' she meant somewhere else.

Megan has a wealth of empathy, but because of her past illnesses and experiences, her thinking is sometimes different from that of ordinary people. She asked a strange question, "Pammy, are they happy in there?"

Staying in a thick glass display case, in a growth chamber with precisely set temperature, humidity, soil nutrients, and even controlled bacterial count, Poison Ivy asked her, "Do you think the plants growing in my greenhouse are happy?"

It seemed that neither of these two questions could be judged subjectively, but Megan blinked her eyes, her expression extremely certain, "I definitely think you're good. The plants in your greenhouse are all your beloved children." She had followed Poison Ivy to take care of the plants in the greenhouse, and she also had a small potted plant in it. Except for her occasional care, it was Poison Ivy who took care of it.

Hearing her answer, Poison Ivy couldn't help but smile. When she and Megan were playing outside, she always disguised herself and would not bring any trouble to Megan that might be caused by the identity of "Poison Ivy".

She said slowly and softly, "Thank you for your preference, but I think it's pretty good..."

Before her body mutated and she earned the nickname "Poison Ivy", Poison Ivy was just an ordinary person. She grew up as an ordinary person and was obsessed with plant research. But then something unexpected happened, just like a plant that had been living in a greenhouse was suddenly transplanted to a harsh environment. She struggled to survive those dark times, and finally grew up after gaining powerful strength and a tough heart. Even the wind and rain could no longer defeat her.

"Just as I don't deny the first half of my life, the plants growing in my greenhouse will eventually leave one day and go to a more cruel but more suitable environment for their growth."

"I don't think it's torture. I only hate unprovoked, malicious harm."

Just like the damned Dr. Wood, he should never have deceived and cheated her who was still naive and enthusiastic at that time. She was lucky enough to survive the experiment, but the instigator certainly could not escape her crazy revenge. Even though she turned a disaster into a blessing and mastered strange powers, the experiment that changed her life was nothing but an unexpected disaster for her.

The woman, who was now disguised and no longer outstanding and eye-catching, lowered her eyes. Her face was expressionless as she stared at the plants in the display case in front of her. Megan raised her head and whispered to her, "Pammy, you are a very good friend of mine."

She felt the hurt that Pammy had suffered in her heart, but she did not comfort her. Instead, she said something that seemed irrelevant, "You have a lot of love. You are a very good person. You have done a lot of things to take care of your beloved children and help them avoid unnecessary harm."

Poison Ivy has heard many people's comments about her. They say she is evil and cruel, that she is unscrupulous, or they boast about her beauty and praise her research results, but no one realizes that her ability to protect her beloved plants is her most commendable ability.

She protected her beloved plants as if she were protecting herself who had been hurt for no reason.

The tragedy that had happened to her did not need to happen again. She hated humanity because of that incident, but she still retained the ability to love. She just picked and chose the people who were worthy of her care and no longer generous with her trust and kindness.

She turned her gaze to Megan, then slowly squatted down and hugged her.

"Megan, you are my most beloved child."

Because they were hugging each other tightly, Megan couldn't see Poison Ivy's face. She could only hear her slightly hoarse voice. She spoke very softly and slowly, but with a firm tone.

…

Megan spoke toughly when she left Damon's house, but she didn't actually plan to stay outside for a week, nor did she go to Jason's house. When this friend came to find her, they played together in Poison Ivy's villa.

There was a swing on the lawn, with Megan and Jason sitting on one each, while Poison Ivy was watering the plants in the garden with a hose.

The atmosphere between the three of them was peaceful. Poison Ivy didn't deliberately listen to what the two children said, leaving them enough space. Although she could use plants to eavesdrop if she wanted to, she didn't intend to do so.

On the other side, Megan said: "Sorry, Jason, I won't be visiting Wayne Manor."

Little Bear apologized, but he didn't apologize too much. When plans change, the important thing is to explain to the other party, gain understanding, and then think of a solution together, or agree on the next plan.

A small change in plans will definitely not affect a friendship. If someone really breaks up for this reason, there must be other decisive factors.

Hearing this, Jason turned his head to look at Megan and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" He knew that Megan didn't like to change her decision once she made it, so there must be a reason for her to change her decision.

Meghan looked at him, with a rare hint of depression in her expression, "Dad made me angry, he kicked me out on purpose."

Although she was angry and wanted to leave, when she complained to her good friend, she deliberately distorted the truth and said that it was Arthur who drove her out.

But Jason understood Arthur's attitude towards her. He seemed to be a good parent, gentle, patient and tolerant. He respected his child's wishes and was willing to pay for her decision.

Jason chuckled and asked in a deliberate tone, "Really? Will he really do that?" He was teasing, but he also knew Megan's personality. Even if she exaggerated a little, she must have felt that way before she said it.

"That's it. He makes me angry, and then he says I should be angry. I have to learn to leave him on my own initiative."

Megan is a child who is stingy with her emotions and only gives to people she cares about. But on the other hand, she cherishes everything she has too much and holds on to it like a miser.

But she should have learned to be independent long ago. She needed to build up a more complete cognition and personality. This was a necessary growth experience for her. It was for her own good. Arthur took the initiative to set up small obstacles for her, hoping that she could overcome them intact and not cause her any harm. Megan understood, but after she left, she still couldn't help looking back. She just couldn't bear to leave.

"I still can't bear to leave my father."

Even though she was left in the foster care center, Damon's house, and school for far longer than seven days, when she left on her own initiative, she still missed her father very much and wanted to go home early.

Megan was in a daze, and Jason approached her and gently poked her cheek with a finger. When Megan came back to her senses, he smiled and said, "Then go back and give him a big surprise!"

"Look, Mei, this is your fifth day staying at Pammy's house. Then you go back today. The next time Arthur makes you angry and you want to run away from home, you can quietly make up for these two days."

He seemed to be talking about a very bad idea, he talked about 'running away from home' which was a new word for Meghan.

The bad bear and Jason looked at each other, and the bad bird felt justified. They were both bad together, otherwise they would not come up with such a bad idea.

Megan extended a hand, palm forward, inviting a high-five. "Good idea!" Jason high-fived her gently, his face beaming with joy because his persuasion was successful.

Poison Ivy watched their interaction from a distance. She had only noticed them when she heard Jason call out "Pammy." His attitude was unusual, and he even followed Megan's example of addressing her? Wasn't that odd?

The young man's eyes were full of high spirits, but he was just proud of the small matter of successfully persuading Megan, as if it was a great achievement. He turned his head and continued to talk to Megan, no longer deliberately guiding her, but what he said just now was at most a joke, and he could not be convicted.

Poison Ivy felt a little regretful. Her desire to protect Megan reached its peak, but the child's daily life was carefully maintained and there was no danger or harm at all, so she could do nothing.

But rather than showing off her power to protect Megan or seek justice for her, Poison Ivy would rather Megan maintain her peaceful and tranquil life without any twists and turns that would hurt her. The way it is now is good enough.

The two children were still chatting, and then they started competing in swinging. Megan's toes barely touched the ground, and she couldn't quite master the swinging technique, so Jason taught her, and soon they were swinging high and low. This little game made them immersed in it, and Megan was no longer worried, but laughed happily.

The swing was swinging high, and the wind blew Megan's fluffy curly hair forward and backward. After playing for a while, she jumped off the swing and suddenly remembered an experience long ago.

She said, "The wind is so free."

Wind is the cheapest and most ubiquitous "freedom". You can easily feel the wind just by stretching out your hand. If there is no wind on that day, you can still feel the wind by waving your hand.

Jason stood beside her and said softly, "The world is so big, the wind is everywhere."

So is freedom.

Every soul deserves to be free.
