Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 30.1

Outside the hospital room. 

Gwen's eyes brimmed with tears as she choked out, "Hode, thank you..." 

She had never dreamed that her father would wake up again. 

Moreover, after the doctor's diagnosis, it was found that this was not merely a recovery. 

Even the muscles that had atrophied from being bedridden for so long had surprisingly returned, and his physical condition was even healthier than before. 

With subsequent checks confirming his improvement, he could be released from the hospital directly. 

Even the doctor called it a medical miracle. 

Such a thing had never happened in the medical field! 

"No need to thank me; your father is just lucky. I didn't do anything." 

Hode shook his head. 

"I know it was you!" 

Gwen's nose turned red. 

She understood quite well that this was not a miracle, as her father had awakened only after Hode's arrival. 

Although unsure of how it had happened, she was certain it was all thanks to Hode. 

With a hint of shyness, she asked, "Are you free tomorrow? I would like to invite you to dinner." 

She quickly added, "It's a way to express thanks on behalf of my dad, and once he adjusts, we'll plan a more formal gathering to properly thank you." 

"Tomorrow?" 

Hode was taken aback, a plump figure in a red dress popping into his mind. 

Whether Gwen's parents hosted an event didn't matter, as long as Gwen was the one inviting him. 

But... he had already made dinner plans with Wanda for tomorrow night. 

Yet, if he turned Gwen down, he might miss the perfect opportunity. 

"Are you not free tomorrow?" 

Gwen keenly noticed the conflicted expression on Hode's face: "I want to thank you tonight, but my father...," 

She explained that follow-up checks meant she couldn't leave yet. 

"No problem." 

After a moment, Hode smiled brightly and nodded. 

Real men never choose; they want it all! 

"Then I'll see you tomorrow evening!" 

A fragrant breeze swept past as Gwen quickly pressed her lips to Hode's cheek and, blushing, dashed off. 

Watching her jog back to the hospital room, Hode couldn't help but smile. 

"Is this the essence of youth?" 

He was already looking forward to tomorrow night's dinner. 

[Ding! Your benevolence and compassion have healed George Stacey!]

[Reward received: Artificial Intelligence - Red Queen!]

[Artificial Intelligence - Red Queen]: An AI from the Resident Evil universe, she permeates every corner of the Earth's network system, and you can call on her directly.

"Red Queen?" 

Hode was pleasantly surprised to receive this reward. 

The Red Queen was a powerful AI, exceeding all current AIs on Earth within the Marvel universe. 

Even Ultron, in terms of intelligence and capabilities, fell far short of the Red Queen. 

That's because the Red Queen had developed self-awareness and, combined with her vast network, her functions were incredibly formidable. 

"Red Queen!" 

Hode put on his earbuds and called out. 

Now that the Red Queen existed online, she could be called at any time. 

"Master, I'm here!" 

The Red Queen's firm voice echoed from the earbuds, sounding like a little girl. 

"Help me retrieve a set of classified S.H.I.E.L.D. documents related to the Tesseract." 

He did this to test the Red Queen's abilities. 

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s security walls were the most formidable in the US. 

Securing the top-secret documents would indicate that the Red Queen could penetrate any part of the world's networks. 

"Master, infiltration successful; the documents you requested are obtained!" 

In just a moment, the Red Queen's voice rang out from the earbuds. 

Hode's phone vibrated, revealing documents concerning S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Tesseract, classified at Level 9! 

This was the second-highest level of secrecy! 

The highest, Level 10, consisted of paper archives that couldn't be hacked. 

"It seems your capabilities are quite impressive!" 

Hode casually scrolled through, nodding in approval.
