Chapter 9 1 Family Dinner
In the office of Dr. Tompkins' clinic, Bruce leaned against his desk, holding Halle's medical report and reading it intently.
Leslie pushed the door open, "Harry is a good girl, very brave - the nurse has already brought her ice cream into the ward, we can use this time to talk about her physical condition."
The female doctor turned on the projector, and Halle's various physiological indicators and X-ray photos were displayed in front of their eyes.
"Malnutrition leads to short stature... lack of vitamins and calcium..." Leslie operated the high-end projector with the Wayne Enterprises logo, constantly showing Halle's various physical indicators and the standard of an ordinary 8-year-old girl control.
"It's not very optimistic. Fortunately, there is no irreversible damage that may affect her future height. We can only start supplementing the various nutrients her body needs as soon as possible," the female doctor printed out a document, "put This dietary guidance is handed over to Alfred, this is the precautions for the first 3 months. After 3 months, I will bring Harley to review, and then I will write a new one for you according to the recovery situation."
Bruce took the folder, "Thank you, Ah Fu and I are very grateful..."
Before Bruce could mention it, Dr. Tompkins opened several other examination results of Hallie's skull on the projector.
"About that scar..." Leslie frowned. "Look, these tests show that the skin there is warmer than the surrounding area, but other than that, Halle's brain test on my medical equipment is normal."
"Yes, what I am most familiar with in my life is the degree of recovery of various wounds and the state of scars, but I have never seen such scars... What kind of wounds will still be faintly red after 7 years?"
"I heard from Ah Fu that Harley told him that the scar sometimes hurts."
The female doctor shook her head, "In terms of modern medical science, I can't give any answers. You can look for Superman? His eyes can see molecules. Or Zatanna? Since she and Harley both have magic?"
"This is the current plan," Bruce said softly, looking at the diagram on the projector.
*****************
Harley, who didn't get an injection and had ice cream, was super happy. After giving Dr. Leslie a hug, she took Uncle Bruce's hand and got into the car.
The afternoon was not so good. Harley greeted a serious-looking black grandpa at the mansion.
This black grandpa actually took out a stack of papers and asked Harry to do it...
Grandpa Afu said it was to see what grade she should be in.Halle was also eager to prove that she wasn't stupid - she had done quite well in England.
The three papers made Harley dizzy, and she carefully looked at the black grandpa who pursed his lips and quickly scanned his papers.
"Well, a normal grade 3 elementary school," Lucius Fox put away the documents in his hand, and said to Al Fu, "in the style of you and Bruce, this kid should also go to a public elementary school. I'll arrange someone Go through the enrollment procedures. If there are no accidents, Harley will be able to go to school next Monday."
"It's really troublesome for you, Lucius," Alfred was relieved, he didn't ask Harry to be as precocious as Tim and Damian, and the result has already surprised him.
Listening to the conversation between the two adults, Harley is very satisfied with herself. She is going to go to elementary school in the United States. She is a little uneasy, but more excited!Maybe, after I stopped wearing plus-size men's shirts, I could finally make friends at school.
Harry's excitement continued into the evening.Grandpa Alfred is preparing the family's dinner, and Harley has to help out no matter what.She kept chanting the word "family" silently, which was unfamiliar but had a natural warmth that made Harry dizzy.
Uncle Bruce didn't know where he went, and Grandpa Afu didn't say either.
It was 7 o'clock in the evening, and several brothers began to arrive one after another.Harry suddenly felt very embarrassed, and stayed in the kitchen, not going out in the name of helping Ah Fu...
Alfred saw Harry's careful thinking, and he didn't urge him. After leading the young masters into the restaurant, he went to the Bat Cave to summon Master Bruce.
When he returned to the kitchen again, he saw Halle helping to arrange the dishes, and her small body shuttled between the dishes, which seemed to be the case—it seemed that Petunia really asked her to do a lot of housework.
After sighing softly, Alfred stepped forward, completed the last few steps of meal preparation, pushed the dining car, and took Harry's hand to the dining room—butler work will never be lonely again, Alfred After looking at it and holding the dining car with one hand, the pretending little Harry raised the corner of her mouth.
According to Bruce's instructions, this is an American-style family meal, so the old butler doesn't have to worry about serving the dishes from time to time, and everyone can sit around the dining table and enjoy the company of the family at a quiet night.
Harry felt his face burn, maybe it was the light from the dining room...
Everyone turned to look at her, and Harry suddenly couldn't remember if the bow on the back of her skirt was tied...
A red-haired sister ran over and hugged Harry tightly.
"So cute!" The red-haired sister pinched Halle's little face, "I'm Barbara."
Sister Barbara's enthusiasm made Harry smile uncontrollably, "I'm Harry," these words appeared too frequently these two days.
"Your hair is so pretty..." Seeing the fiery red in front of her eyes, Harry said sincerely.
Barbara picked up Harry, my God, this sister is so strong...
"Come on, little Harry, who can make my sister happy, sit with me and Tim, okay?"
Tim?Harry recalled that this name should be his third brother.She turned her head in Barbara's arms, searching among the boys present.
She saw Dick and Tim smiling and waving, Jason nodding coolly at her, and Damian who was expressionless—between the words "expressionless" and "gloomy stare", Harry chose the former carefully.
Barbara put Harry on the seat between herself and Tim, and rubbed her hair, "Boys are the stupidest, Harry, they don't know what to buy you, so they just take the fur from the mall." I bought 20 kinds of plush toys." The red-haired lady glared at the boys, "After I found out, it was too late to stop them. Now these plush toys are in your room."
Halle nodded eagerly, "I love stuffed animals!"
Tim leaned forward and winked at Barbara, "Look, big data says that 8-year-old girls like plush toys more than Barbie dolls! After you stop being an oracle, you will be less sensitive to data .”
"Oh, shut up," Barbara rolled her eyes, "Stop talking about your big data, everyone is going to sleep."
When they started to debate "big data", Harley was already in a daze. She looked around the entire restaurant, and besides Uncle Bruce, several brothers and Grandpa Alfred who was serving the food, she also saw someone she didn't know... Aunt?elder sister?Harry really didn't know what to call it...
This elder sister (Harry wisely chose the younger generation in the end) is simply the most charming beauty I have ever seen. She has shiny black hair with big waves, and her red lips are slightly parted. She looks back at Harry with interest .
On the contrary, Harley was embarrassed to be seen first...
"That's Zatanna," Barbara followed Harry's gaze, "just call me sister."
Harry smiled at Sister Zatanna and introduced herself again.
"Potter...?" Zatanna turned to look at Bruce, "You didn't tell me Harley's last name."
"Because it doesn't matter," Bruce replied calmly.
"Oh, you misunderstood me, I was just a little surprised," Zatanna looked back at Harry who didn't know what happened, "Knowing her surname is Potter, I will only be more positive."
****************
Harry's eyes were shining brightly, looking at these new family members, listening to their talking and laughing, being enveloped by the warm dinner atmosphere, he completely forgot to eat.
She didn't know what it would be like to eat with mom and dad, but it should be... about the same as now, right?
Although Harley felt a faint sadness about not having parents, she now has such a big family... They let themselves have a big room to live in, and toys, so many toys, and sister Barbara gave her Peeled a shrimp myself...
Harry felt her eyes warm, and she blinked hard a few times to force back the tears.
How embarrassing to cry at this time!She has a family!It should be happy!
******************
Even at family dinners that required his constant coordination, Grandpa Fu strictly followed the doctor's instructions and poured milk for Halle according to the amount.
This is a mission!Harley, who didn't want to drink milk anymore, got a stern look from Grandpa Afu for the first time.
But she is really about to vomit...
Tim on the side saw Harry's embarrassment.Taking advantage of Ah Fu's turning around, he asked Harry to pour what he couldn't finish into his cup.
Harry got excited and poured all the milk to Tim.
And when Grandpa Ah Fu noticed Harry's empty glass, he poured her another glass directly...
Harry was on the verge of crying.
Damian, who had been silent on the opposite side, rolled his big eyes as he watched the drama.He snatched Harry's cup, drank half of it, and handed it back to her while Ah Fu was not paying attention.
Mouth to Harry: "Drink slowly, Alfred won't pour you any more."
She also saw Damian's last lip-synthetic: What a fool!
Harry tilted his head, confused for a second, and finally decided to give Damian a bright smile. This strange brother helped him drink the milk after all.
At this moment, Grandpa Ah Fu came up behind Harry, "I have seen all your little moves."
Harry, Tim and Damian all wince.
Alfred sighed, stroking Harry's hair, "Drink what's in the cup, and you don't need to drink any more today. Tomorrow, besides milk, I'll give you some yogurt."
Harry turned around happily and hugged Grandpa Ah Fu. She thought that today could not be better.
