2 days later, New York, Hell's Kitchen.

Merlin, who had been busy all night in the alchemy laboratory, just finished breakfast when he heard the knock on the door.

He looked at the time, then opened the door and saw Zalvin. Johnson and his daughter Daisy standing at the door. The doctor was smiling, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, while Daisy was carrying some snacks and gadgets in his hand. After seeing Merlin open the door, the girl shouted happily:

"Uncle Meilin, Uncle Meilin, when will my mother come?"

"It probably will take a while."

Merlin smiled and stretched out her hand, patted Daisy on her head, and he said:

"Your mother is far away, and she needs to prepare some more."

"Is this bouquet of flowers for Jiaying?"

Merlin glanced at the big rose in Zalvin's hand and said:

"A rough guy like you actually plays romance too?"

"No, it's just etiquette, Merlin."

Zarvin answered seriously:

"Daisy wants to see her mother. I haven't seen her for more than ten years. This sudden meeting will definitely be a little embarrassed, so it is necessary to bring gifts. Speaking of which, I haven't officially thanked you and helped me find my baby daughter."

“It’s nothing.”

Merlin turned his body sideways and let the father and daughter in front of him enter the living room. He closed the door and said:

“It’s just my job.”

He looked back at Zalvin and Daisy. A few days of getting along were not enough to make the relationship between strange father and daughter suddenly become very good. It takes time for people to get along with each other and the breeding and development of feelings.

There is still a little stranger between Daisy and Zalvin, but Zalvin, who has been recalibrated with memory and personality, now has enough patience to wait until his daughter fully accepts her existence.

These days, he took Daisy to live near his house in Brooklyn. He heard that his old house had begun interior renovation. Perhaps in a while, Daisy would have his own real home in New York.

Judging from the little girl's expression of secretly looking at Zalvin from time to time, she seemed to be looking forward to this matter.

Daisy spent the first 10 years of her life in orphanages and constant displacement. She longed to see her parents like other orphans, and grew up with her parents like an ordinary child. Now she finally has this opportunity.

"Zarvin, can you help me buy some ingredients?"

Merlin suddenly said to Daisy's father:

"Jiaying is here later. I hope to keep you at home for a meal. I want to clean up the room. You should also be familiar with Jiaying's taste, so leave this to you, is it okay?"

"Okay, take good care of my baby daughter."

Zalvin stood up, gave Melin a message, waved goodbye to Daisy with a smile on his face, pushed open the door and walked out.

Merlin sat on the sofa and did not set off to clean up the room. He turned his head and looked at Daisy, and Daisy looked at him too.

"Do you like Zalvin?"

Merlin asked, Daisy bit her lip, the child thought for a few seconds, and then nodded.

"My dad, he is a little weird and often forgets something, but he is very nice to me, very patient, and always makes me happy in different ways. I'm still a little uncomfortable. Being with him is different from what I felt in other foster care families before, but I should like him, after all, he is my dad."

“That’s good.”

Merlin nodded, he looked at Daisy and said:

"I said before, I have something to tell you, Daisy, about your mom."

"Your mother is not an ordinary person, Daisy, she is more like a wizard, the witch described in the stories you have heard, she has some magical powers."

Merlin pondered his words and said to 11-year-old Daisy:

"I hope you can prepare in advance."

"Witch?"

Daisy opened her eyes wide and she looked at Merlin:

“It’s so cool!”

"Yes, it's pretty cool."

Merlin smiled, he was silent for a moment, and then said to the little girl:

"But if she was going to take you away, take you out of New York, leave your father, would you follow her?"

"Why did she leave?"

Daisy tilted her head and said to Merlin:

"Shouldn't mom and dad be together? We can live together in New York. Dad's house is big. I've visited it and I can live in three people."

"It's not the problem, Daisy."

Merlin explained:

"There are some things that you can't understand among adults. Your mother has other people to take care of. She is their leader. She is also very busy every day. She has her own job and she can't leave those. Of course, you can also persuade her to stay here."

Merlin blinked at Daisy:

"But if your mom wants you to choose between her and your father, I hope you can stay with your father."

"Why?"

Daisy asked:

"Maybe I can live with my father to my mom's side."

"Uh, didn't you notice it?"

Merlin whispered:

"Your father is sick and he is not in good health."

"Yeah, I saw it."

Daisy said with a worried look on her face:

"My father would have nosebleeds, he would have nightmares at night, cough frequently, and after his eyes were taken off, it was yellow, just like the one who chased me."

"Your father's eyes were caused by an experiment failure. He was not the one who hunted you down."

Merlin said:

“I can guarantee this.”

"And I am also a doctor, Daisy, your father's health is not optimistic. In the past 10 years, he has paid a lot to find you and exhausted his body. As his friend, I hope he will have his own daughter with him in the days he will be with him. I mean, your mother has a special ability, she can live for a long time."

Merlin said gently to the little Daisy in front of her:

"You can go to her when you grow up. She has time to wait for you, but your father is just an ordinary person, and the time you can spend with him is always limited."

"Then I'll stay here."

Daisy is a kind child, she said to Merlin:

"I will tell my mom that if she can't stay and take care of her father, then I will stay. She shouldn't blame me, right?"

"Of course she won't, she will only feel happy because her daughter is so kind."

A ray of light flashed in Merlin's eyes. He reached out and touched Daisy's hair, and he said:

"Your mom will definitely understand you."

The next moment, Merlin felt a faint fluctuation of energy coming from the house. He turned his head and looked at the closed door, and he said:

"She's here."

"Bang, bang"

The knock on the door sounded the next moment, and Daisy subconsciously jumped off the sofa. She looked at Merlin nervously, who smiled at her, then walked forward and opened the door.

Outside the door, Jiaying was standing there.

She wanted to see her daughter, so she dressed up today.

A blue long dress embroidered with flowers set off Jiaying very young. Her long black hair was scattered on her shoulders, looking very gentle. She wore a mask decorated with flowers on her face, probably to avoid her daughter's face scaring her.

There was a hint of expectation and trepidation in her eyes. When Merlin opened the door, she asked in a low voice:

"Daisy, is she here?"

Merlin did not speak, but turned sideways, and the next second, the mother and daughter were intersecting.

Jiaying saw Daisy standing by the sofa. The 11-year-old girl was wearing braids and had a distinct mixed-race outline on her face. She inherited her big eyes and was close to her ears. There was also a beauty mole inherited by her family.

The child was placed in front of her with his hands staggered in front of her, and there was also a hint of nervousness and curiosity in her eyes, especially when she saw Jiaying wearing a mask walking into the room step by step, Daisy looked at the mask, and she didn't know how to talk to her mother.

But there is no need to speak.

The next moment, Daisy was held in her arms.

Jiaying squatted down and carried her daughter into her arms. Her body trembled, and a crying voice came from under the mask.

"Daisy, my dash, my daughter, mom finally found you."

Although I had never met each other, the feeling of blood connection made Daisy subconsciously put her hand on her mother's shoulder and patted her gently, as if comforting her crying mother.
