Chapter 197 - Chapter 197: Is she going to give birth?

"Smallville, Kansas, was hit by its second meteor shower in eighteen years, resulting in twenty-three Deaths and countless injuries."

The television was broadcasting the situation of the meteor disaster in Smallville.

"It looks a bit bad."

In Blue Valley, at Courtney's residence, Jonathan and Martha, along with Courtney's family, were gathered around the TV watching the news.

Looking at the scenes of buildings damaged by meteors on the television screen, Jonathan shook his head and said helplessly.

"Have you contacted Eric and Clark?"

Martha, with her big belly, asked worriedly.

"Not yet."

Jonathan comforted his wife, "The impact of the meteor shower may have caused communication line failures. We must trust them, Eric and Clark. No matter what the situation, they will make the right choices and return safely. I believe this time is no different for them."

"I think so too. I wanted to ask Eric for an autograph last time. I don't think I'm that unlucky; I always encounter the worst situations."

Mike, who was next to them, interjected.

"Hey, Mike!"

Barbara, standing behind Mike, glared at him.

"Okay, sorry, Mom!"

The troublemaker Mike, who was quite afraid of his mother, immediately stopped his ill-timed remark.

"I..."

Martha, with a worried expression on her face, looked at Jonathan, about to say something, when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.

A sharp, piercing pain instantly attacked her, with waves of cramping coming from her lower abdomen.

Seeing his wife in unbearable pain, Jonathan immediately supported her.

"Martha?"

"My... my stomach hurts terribly!"

Martha bent over in pain, holding onto her husband, large drops of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Experienced Barbara, seeing Martha's condition, knew that her labor might have started early. She immediately told Pat to contact the hospital and quickly walked over to support her.

Ten minutes later, the town's ambulance arrived. Jonathan accompanied Martha into the ambulance, and Barbara also got in.

"Uh..."

Mike looked at the screaming ambulance, a confused look in his eyes, and looked at his older sister, Courtney.

"Was I born like that before?"

"I don't know."

Courtney shook her head.

"Well, it looks a bit scary."

Mike looked at the clock on the wall, shrugged, and said, "I'm going to deliver newspapers."

Saying that, he walked out of the room, preparing to ride his bicycle to deliver newspapers.

"Oh, by the way."

Before leaving, Mike asked his sister, "Courtney, are you dating recently?"

"What?"

"Nothing, just asking."

Before he finished speaking, Mike quickly ran out into the courtyard, rode his small bicycle, and darted out of the courtyard in a flash.

Watching her younger brother bolt out of the courtyard like a rabbit, Courtney shook her head, a little distressed.

Just because she had changed her clothes a bit more frequently recently and used a little makeup, was she misunderstood as being in love?

A hint of confusion appeared in Courtney's eyes.

She felt that this family had a tiny bit too much 'malice' towards her.

"Cough, cough!"

Standing up from the carpet covered with construction debris, Lex rubbed his eyes, a confused look in them.

His whole body ached, especially his head, which throbbed with needle-like pain.

He touched his forehead with his hand and found that his hand was covered in blood.

His head was broken?

He looked up.

There was a huge hole smashed in the ceiling, and the floor was covered with scattered stone fragments and building materials.

Looking at the burn marks on the floor, he remembered that Luther Manor had been hit by a meteor before.

A meteor had just smashed through the roof and impacted into the room.

And at that time, he was fighting his father, who had possessed his body.

After Eric left, his father, whom he had knocked down with a billiard cue, suddenly jumped up from the ground and attacked him.

Lex, caught off guard, was tackled immediately because the body he was using was Lionel's, and the two of them wrestled on the ground.

Just as he was gradually losing the upper hand, a stone impacted from above, smashing through the ceiling with a boom and landing on the floor.

The shockwave from the explosion directly threw both of them away, and Lex even directly fainted.

Recalling everything, he shook his head and looked at Lionel, who was lying on the ground beside him.

Lionel was lying face down on the ground, motionless.

Staggering, he went forward to tie up his father.

But after only two steps, he realized something was wrong.

Lionel's body had already transformed into his own old, aged body.

Greatly surprised, he reached out and touched his face and the top of his head.

No hair on top of his head!

It was his own body, he and Lionel had swapped back!

After finding a mirror and confirming that his soul had returned to his body, Lex's heart immediately filled with ecstasy.

After fully experiencing the youthful vitality of his own body, he went downstairs and left the manor, preparing to go to the hospital to check his body for any unexpected situations.

"Boom!"

The Ferrari roared and immediately sped down the road.

After driving for a while along the road, he spotted an acquaintance.

Lana was limping, covered in blood, staggering along the road towards him.

"Lana!"

Lex immediately got out of the car and walked quickly towards Lana.

Lana, who had been somewhat dazed, perked up when she saw Lex walking towards her.

"Lex, we... we have to get out of here!"

"What?"

Lana limped towards Lex, saying excitedly, "They've already come, if they find us, they'll kill us!"

"Hey, Lana, don't be nervous, you're safe now!"

Lex didn't know what had happened, but seeing that her emotions were a bit off, he quickly comforted her.

"No, you don't know what happened. We must leave here."

Lana said, limping in the opposite direction.

"Lana, you can't walk anymore, I'll call a doctor!"

Lex shouted at the departing Lana.

"No, you don't understand, we are not safe now, no one is safe!"

Lex shook his head, walked over and grabbed Lana's arm, "You should go see a doctor."

Lana, whose arm was touched by Lex, immediately shook off Lex's hand and shouted somewhat hysterically, "Don't touch me!"

"Lana, you're frightened, everything is over, the meteor shower has stopped, everything is over!"

Lex held Lana's arms with both hands, preventing her from breaking free from his control, "Relax, everything is over!"

Lana, after being comforted by Lex for a while, finally calmed down. After catching her breath, she said to Lex, "A man and a woman, right behind me, came out!"

"Came out from where?"

As soon as he heard this topic, Lex's paranoia and fanaticism surged up. He tightly gripped Lana's arms and asked nervously, "Tell me, Lana, where did they come out from!"

"A... a spaceship!"

"Where?"

"Landers' field."

Lana still said, somewhat dazed.

Taking a deep breath, Lex tried to calm himself down and said to Lana seriously, "Lana, it's completely normal to be a bit dazed after what you've been through, trust me. I'll take you to the hospital first."

After Lex finished speaking, he helped Lana into the car.

Before getting in the car, while Lana wasn't paying attention, he quickly sent a message to his subordinates using his phone.

"Bring all personnel, go to Landers' field immediately!"

After editing the message, he clicked send, then returned to the Ferrari and started the engine.

With the dull roar of the engine, the Ferrari quickly sped towards the hospital.

Town Medical Center.

Lex just had a simple bandage applied, glanced at Lana in the hospital room, and then prepared to leave.

Compared to Lana's physical condition, he was more concerned about the existence of that spaceship.

After walking a few steps down the corridor, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller's name, he immediately answered the phone.

"Sir, the spaceship has been found."

"Very good, don't let anyone discover it. Transport it to the laboratory. If anyone leaks the information, I will hold you responsible!"

Lex suppressed his inner ecstasy, hung up the phone, and walked quickly forward.

He took a step forward, and with a boom, immediately felt a gust of air rush towards him.

Accompanied by a huge explosion and a flash of fire, Lex was heavily thrown to the ground.

Broken glass shards from the hospital corridor, accompanied by the splashing fire, fell onto his body with a clatter.

At the same time, screams of terror erupted in the hospital.

The instantaneous explosion caused bewildered people to quickly flee.

"Ugh!"

Lex opened his eyes and looked down the other end of the corridor.

A man and a woman, dressed in black uniforms, walked out of the flames filling the corridor, step by step.

Lex, using all his strength, stood up, shook his head, and made his blurred vision clearer.

The two did not pay attention to Lex but walked directly to Lana's hospital room.

The doctors and nurses nearby, seeing the individuals exuding a fierce aura, disregarded their own pain and quickly moved away from them.

"Hey!"

Seeing that the other party was about to force their way into Lana's room, Lex immediately spoke to stop them.

"Who are you?"

The two turned around and stared at Lex.

"This is a hospital. If you're hoping to solve problems with violence, I don't think the outcome will be very good."

Lex said to the other party.

"Do you know Kal-El?"

The man's eyes shot directly at Lex as he asked.

"What?"

As soon as Lex finished speaking, the woman in the duo teleported next to Lex and grabbed him by the throat.

"Don't try to lie. We've already investigated everyone familiar with Kal-El."

While making Lex tell her Clark's whereabouts, the woman tightened her grip.

Intense pain instantly assaulted Lex, his throat feeling as if it would be crushed in the next second.

He couldn't exhale air from his lungs, and his vision was blackening in waves.

"I know where Clark is!"

Just as Lex was about to collapse, the hospital room door suddenly opened, and Lana stumbled out of the room.

"I... I know where Clark is, he's at Lex's manor."

Hearing Lana say that Clark was at his manor, Lex's eyes immediately widened.

How could Clark be at his manor?!

The duo did not doubt Lana's words and turned their gaze to Lex.

"I'll take you there!"

Lana straightened up and said to the two.

The duo nodded, and the woman directly grabbed Lex in her hand.

As Lex turned, he saw Lana mouth a word to him.

"Green kryptonite!"

Lex easily guessed what Lana was trying to tell him.

Green kryptonite?

Lex, with a thoughtful expression, nodded.

He roughly understood how to deal with the two individuals in front of him.
