At the moment of entering a new life, Merlin tried to hide the secrets of the past. Even when facing Ms. Peggy Carter, Merlin did not reveal the existence of the Coulsons, he was trying to protect them.

He didn't want his relatives to get into trouble again because of his reasons.

But in the face of Fury's cross-examination, Merlin finally said his cousin May Riley's name.

On the one hand, he must use this method to dispel Fury's trace of his past. On the other hand, after two years of wandering, Merlin was also eager to return to his loved ones again.

Compared with the Coulsons, the existence of May Riley means another level of significance for Merlin.

Although he and Mei did not meet many times, the fetters of the bloodline could not be cut off by any disaster or distance.

In an ordinary restaurant in Queens, Merlin is sitting by the window. He tried to exclude other emotions from his mind, trying to calm himself down, but with the time on the watch getting closer and closer to 12 o'clock Zhong, his mood is getting more and more tense.

Before he started wandering, almost every year, his cousin Mei would travel from New York to Wisconsin to see his cousin.

At first, she followed Merlin's aunt. Later, when her aunt died of illness, her cousin walked alone.

When she was a child, Merlin liked the lively cousin very much. Every year, she would bring a gift. On Merlin's birthday, she appeared in time on Merlin's eyes.

Merlin grew up year after year, and his cousin matured year after year. Merlin almost witnessed his cousin, from a little girl who likes to wear floral dresses, to an intellectual girl who always wears a round frame glasses with a quiet smile.

She perfectly inherited the excellent bloodlines of the Riley family. She is very beautiful. Every time she walks Merlin on the streets of Madison, it will attract the attention of many people.

It's like... like a model.

Merlin still remembers that one summer, his brother, the silly Phil, quietly told him that when he grows up, he must marry Sister Mei as his wife.

Haha, Phil's wish is probably not fulfilled.

Merlin smiled. When he was 17, his 23-year-old cousin got married. It is said that her husband was a local engineer in New York. Unfortunately, before the cousin took her husband to celebrate Merlin's birthday, Merlin had completely disappeared in this world.

Falling into the memories of the past will always make time pass quickly. When Merlin is sober from his memory, the watch on his hand has arrived at 12:25.

Merlin raised her head if she felt something, and then saw the familiar figure, walked into the restaurant accompanied by a man.

Merlin stood up almost immediately. He waved at May Riley who walked into the restaurant, like what he remembered, every time he saw his cousin in the past 17 years.

May Riley also seemed to feel something at this moment. She turned her head with a sunhat and saw Merlin standing at the table and waving at her.

She had never seen the young man in front of her.

But... when she saw Merlin waving, she suddenly had a strange familiarity.

It seems that this scene has been seen somewhere. This scene is very familiar.

This familiar familiarity made May Riley subconsciously walk towards Merlin, but at the next moment, her hand was held by her husband.

Slightly fat, Mr. Parker shook his head slightly to his beloved wife. He stepped forward, walked in front of his wife, took her hand, and came to Merlin.

Mr. Ben looked at Merlin with a scrutiny. After a few seconds, he froze his face and said in a threatening voice:

"You are Merlin?"

"Yes, I am."

Merlin looked at his cousin. He saw the strangeness and suspicion in his cousin's beautiful eyes, which made him a little nervous.

But he quickly adjusted his emotions and made a "please" gesture to the two people who were facing him. He said:

"Sit first, cousin...no, Ms. Mei, and Mr. Ben. Let's sit down and say."

The three sat in their chairs, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

In Meilin's eyes, the beautiful lady in front of him was his loved one, but in Mei and Ben's eyes, Meilin was just a stranger who appeared suddenly.

If it was not a week ago, a letter from the Ministry of Social Security was sent to their homes to inform them of the existence of Merlin, otherwise they would not have any intersection with Merlin.

"I'm very sorry."

After a few minutes of silence, Merlin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

He sincerely apologized to Mei and Ben in front of him, he said:

"I arranged this meeting privately without your permission. I know that there must be doubts in your hearts, doubts about me as a liar, doubts about my identity, etc. This is normal."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He took a blood test report from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Mr. Ben in front of him.

He says:

"We used to be masked before, and it is impossible to convince you two to accept me. So, before meeting, I used some less "reasonable" means to verify, and I hope you forgive me."

"what is this?"

May’s husband, Mr. Ben Parker, did not care about Merlin’s apology. He looked down at the test report from Merlin and he frowned and asked:

"This looks like a DNA test result?"

"Yes."

Merlin looked at Mei in front of him and said frankly:

"This is the DNA test result of Ms. Mei and me. I feel that instead of persuading you with perceptual language, it is better to compare it directly with scientific data. The genetic similarity between me and Mei is 15%, which is enough to prove that we are a family. member."

Hearing Meilin's words, Mei sitting beside Ben grabbed the test result in her husband's hand. After reading it, she looked up at Meilin in amazement, and in Meilin's eyes, it was a tenderness that could not be done.

"I am really your brother, Ms. Mei."

Merlin said softly:

"I didn't lie to you, I am your loved one."

"But I am more curious about how you got my wife's blood!"

Mr. Ben’s expression is not very good-looking. This is normal. Anyone who encounters something in front of him will feel a little angry.

"It's a medical examination."

Merlin had already backed up the information that Fury had given him, and he said to the two people in front of him with a straight face:

"I asked some of my friends in the hospital. At the last time you took a medical examination, I got your blood samples. I know this is difficult to accept, but believe me, I didn’t do it with malicious intent. ...Actually, if you don’t believe it, then we can go to any of your designated hospitals and do another genetic test now."

"Physical examination half a month ago?"

A flash of relief flashed in Mei Na's beautiful eyes. She looked at her husband. She said to her husband:

"No wonder the physical examination came so suddenly...it's free, so I said, how could there be such a good thing."

"I can understand what you think."

Mr. Ben nodded to his wife, but he still looked unhappy, he said to Merlin:

"But I can't accept this kind of spying on privacy. Merlin, what the **** are you doing?"

"I am a public official."

Merlin took out his identity certificate, of course, the fake one. He gave his identification to Mr. Ben, he said:

"You can verify the authenticity online or at the police station. I have enough time to wait."

Merlin told Ms. Mei:

"I have waited for 22 years, and I don't mind continuing to wait until you really accept me."

"Bridge Tunnel Administration?"

Mr. Ben read the name one word at a time. He looked at Merlin doubtfully. He said:

"I have lived in New York for 26 years, how come I have never heard of this institution?"

"Because we are very low-key, Mr. Ben."

Merlin lowered his head, disguising his embarrassment by drinking water, and he changed the subject:

"Or, can I call you, brother-in-law?"

"No, don't call it that now."

No one has ever called Ben this way, so Ben is a bit uncomfortable.

He looked at Merlin, and there was still a suspicion in his eyes, but the data reported in the test reminded him that he might indeed have an extra brother in his life.

"Tell us about you, Merlin."

Compared with her husband's suspicions, Mei himself has actually accepted this fact.

In fact, the first time she saw Merlin, she noticed the bridge of her nose that was very similar to her and the slightly weird eyes.

The young man who had never seen him in front of her always gave her a very familiar feeling. If he was really his own brother, then this strange sense of familiarity could be explained.

But Mei is not a stupid person, she said to Merlin:

"21 years ago, in 1971, when I was 6 years old, I remember very clearly, Merlin. My mother received a bad news call, and she took me to Wisconsin, her only brother died in a fire, together with His wife and son. My mother was very sad at the time, she did not want to believe this fact, and my younger brother who died unfortunately was also named Merlin."

Mei rubbed her forehead and she said to Merlin:

"I don't believe it, but now all of this suddenly appeared in front of me. You suddenly told me that you are not actually dead, which makes it difficult for me to accept. Do you understand?"

"I can understand that this is as unbearable as it is to be resurrected from death. But to be honest, this is actually not our first chat, cousin."

Meilin looked at Mei with a tangled face. He smiled and said to Mei:

"I don't know if you remember, in August 2 years ago, there was a call to your apartment... The person on the phone claimed to be your brother?"

"Yes! I remember!"

May looked up and said in surprise:

"I thought it was a bad joke at that time. You mean, you called that Wisconsin phone?"

"Yes."

Merlin explained softly:

"I had just graduated from college at the time, and I specifically went to Wisconsin."

"I went to the former home of the Riley family, which has now been converted into a park. I heard some old people nearby say that a lady of the Riley family married to New York when she was young, and I followed the news. After that, I found the phone left by my aunt in the police station that year. I was very excited and called."

Speaking of which, Merlin smiled, he said:

"The result was a reprimand from you. At that time, I knew that if I did not produce real evidence. My clever and stubborn cousin would not admit my existence, so I dragged on until now."

"Sorry, May, I should come to you earlier."

"no problem, no problem."

Hearing that Merlin mentioned the incident two years ago, the doubts in Merlin's heart about Merlin suddenly dissipated.

It is impossible for a scam to be deployed two years ago. Even if such a huge scam really exists, it will not be aimed at her and the middle class like Ben.

The thought of the young man in front of him is really his own brother, a strange feeling rose in Mei's heart, as if everything was like this.

She should have a younger brother, a younger brother whom she loved and cared about. This idea cannot be eliminated as soon as it appears.

Driven by this emotional emotion, Mei's eyes were red, and she stretched out her hand, trying to touch Merlin's cheek. Merlin hesitated and did not dodge, letting May's finger rest on his face.

Mei whispered:

"Have you lived alone for so many years?"

"Not one person."

Merlin smiled gently, he said:

"When I was young, I spent my childhood in an orphanage, and I had some friends back then. I was sent to my current home at the age of 12, my adoptive parents... well, they are all very nice people, they Take me to New York. I have lived in Manhattan all these years, but I don’t know that my real family and I are just less than 30 minutes away by car."

"Until I discovered your existence in Wisconsin, cousin. You can't imagine how happy I was back then. When I knew that I would not be alone in my life, how happy I was."

Merlin's true feelings revealed that his eyes became wet. To prevent May and Ben from discovering the abnormality of his eyes, he turned around, took off his glasses, and wiped his eyes.

But when he turned around again, a gentle smile hung on his face. He took May's hand and said seriously:

"This is the gift of fate. It is fate that made me find you again, cousin...I swear, I swear I will never leave you again, I will never allow other people, other powers, to take you away from my life Now."

"Uh huh"

Tears filled Mei's eyes.

The power of the Sannomiya can erase memories, but it cannot erase sincere feelings.

Even without the support of experience, the fetters between blood lines still exist. At the moment when Mei completely put down her defenses, her emotions that had been suppressed for three years were sprayed out like a tide.

She took a step forward, holding Merlin, like holding a lost treasure, and was unwilling to let go.

Beside the two, Mr. Ben, who was watching this scene, had already cried into a tearful man.

This fat, sensual man wiped his face with a tissue and said:

"Gosh, I might be crazy, but it's so touching."

"Merlin, from today, you are a family member of the Parker family."

"Stop living alone, the brother-in-law will take care of you. Ooo."
