She might not have been Spider-Woman but rather a neighbor girl.
"So, you wantKingpin to experience the same pain..."
Hood hadn't expected that Gwen's family situation in this universe was equally tragic.
This was likely the reason she relentlessly pursuedKingpin.
For Gwen, this would probably be a lifelong shadow.
He remembered that Gwen's father, Mr. George, was indeed a police officer.
A just, brave, and helpful policeman full of ambition.
Yet he had become a vegetable.
The feeling was almost worse than death!
It was as if that hope dangled over Gwen like a taut string.
Because she herself didn't know if her father would ever wake up.
Hood said, "For someone likeKingpin, being a living yet uninterested vegetable is clearly more terrifying than death."
"Uh-huh."
"I've always been investigating this matter, which is why I've constantly botheredKingpin."
"But he's just too strong; his power is terrifying. No matter what I do, I feel weak in comparison."
Gwen turned her gaze to the moon, nodding slightly, her eyes glimmering with light.
At this moment, her persistence had finally borne fruit.
"But your goal has been achieved."
Hood took a deep breath, forcing a smile as he tried to comfort her.
She was also a pitiful person, constantly on the road for revenge.
Never once stopping her steps.
"Right... but it seems like it hasn't really been achieved."
Gwen lowered her head and sighed. "My father still lies in bed and will never wake up."
Though she claimed to have accomplished her goal, what followed was emptiness and despair.
The girl looked sad, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she quickly wiped them away with the back of her hand.
She didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of others.
Suddenly, a large hand grasped her delicate hand. "No! Your father has a chance to wake up!"
"You have a way?"
Gwen's head shot up, her eyes sparkling with hopeful tears. "You have a way?"
This man was always shrouded in an aura of mystery; perhaps he really did have a solution.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll go visit your father at the hospital, and I'll arrange everything!"
Hood nodded affirmatively.
He had the horse talisman, which could heal all illnesses.
Gwen's father would surely show signs of recovery.
"Then let's go tomorrow!"
Gwen didn't pull away from Hood's large hand; instead, she beamed with a brilliant smile.
Her sixth sense told her that she could trust this mysterious man in front of her.
And whenever she got close to him, she felt at ease.
He was someone worthy of trust.
"Let's go!"
Hood voluntarily released her hand, stood up with a smile, and said, "It's settled then. I'll come over tomorrow night."
"Mm!"
Gwen nodded with a shy smile, looking enchanting under the moonlight.
Hode rode the motorcycle, taking Gwen to her home.
"Give me your number!" Gwen said as she got off the motorcycle, eagerly asking.
Hode was happy to exchange numbers.
"I'm heading back now," Gwen said, waving her phone containing the saved number.
"Go ahead!" Hode waved his hand.
But just then, Gwen seemed to muster her courage, stepped forward suddenly, and planted a soft kiss on Hode's cheek.
Hode's eyes widened in surprise; he never expected that to happen...
"I'm heading back! See you tomorrow!" Gwen quickly pulled back and jogged towards her place.
Hode touched his cheek, watching the figure disappear between the tall buildings.
He had just been unexpectedly kissed by a little girl!
However...
Those soft lips would be wasted if only used for kissing cheeks...
