The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 840: Aimlessly
The cold wave storm seems to have passed, and the overly dry air still retains the bitter and bleak cold, which is constantly blowing, and the passing pedestrians can't help but raise the collars of their coats; however, the sparse and lazy sunlight is slowly falling down. , Passing through the towering steel forest, sprinkling mottled lights and shadows on the bustling city streets, revealing a rare vitality in the rustling winter.
This is a rare good weather in New York in winter.
Opened the car door and walked down, the golden bright sun lightly jumped on the skin of Guolu, the faint warmth whirling, people could not help spreading out the palm, feeling the moment of jumping in the palm, and then closing the fingertips , Quietly stored; lifted up and walked into the lobby of Mount Sinai Hospital, the sun fell behind him, and the warmth of his palms slowly passed away bit by bit, like an hourglass, and finally dissipated completely.
The hospital is still quiet, orderly, and orderly, and the air is still water-stop, and even the turbulent dark tide cannot be felt. Here, life and death, sickness and pain, are originally part of the composition.
"Ding", the elevator reached the destination floor, a group of people walked out of the elevator one after another, Lan Li skillfully turned right and stepped towards Heather’s ward, but Andy’s call stopped Lan Li’s pace. "Lan Li, are you sure this is a good idea?" Andy motioned to him, Roy, and Nathan, "Aren’t we rude if we just rushed over? Or, we’re just in the rest area here." Waiting, after getting permission from our parents, we will visit again."
Lan Li's gaze fell on the faces of the three people. After a short pause, he nodded in agreement, "You can wait here in the rest area." The elevator entrance is only a few steps away from the rest area, Lan Li takes the initiative I acted as a guide and led them to the side, "For the smoking area, one is the outside balcony and the other is the stairwell..."
Before the words could be finished, Derek Cross and Ali Cross could be seen outside the translucent floor-to-ceiling windows.
With cigarettes in their hands, the two of them looked haggard and messy hair, casually wrapped in a coat to resist the cold, arguing about something face to face, looking very embarrassed.
At this time, Heather's situation is still in crisis. Even if they smoke, two people will not leave at the same time. At least one person needs to be left in the ward. Or is it...the situation has changed? This thought flashed through his mind, and Lan Li took the initiative to step forward, at least needing to say hello.
With the footsteps, the voices of the two people gradually became clear.
"...Are you crazy? Why call him? He is a star. The reason why he wants to show up is to use our family Heather to make news!"
"Allie! Do you know what you are talking about? Have you lost your mind? What kind of person is Lan Li, you don't want to believe in your own eyes, you actually believe in the gossip media?"
"I don't know, I don't know! I only know that he is a stranger, a volunteer, and a volunteer. He is no different from the staff in this hospital, but why? Why should he treat Heather like this? Good?"
"Allie! Are you making sense! You know what Renly means to Heather, yesterday's concert..."
"I know, of course I know! I know, if it weren't for him, if it wasn't for last night's concert, maybe Heather would be fine, maybe Heather's condition would not deteriorate so fast!"
"As the doctor said, Heather's condition is inherently uncontrollable. When we set out for the concert, didn't the doctor mention all the risks? We decided to go to the concert together."
"No, you decided it was you! It was you! New York experienced a cold wave last night. Even a healthy person may get sick while walking outdoors, not to mention Heather! It was you who made the decision!"
"But if there is no concert, Heather will not be able to wake up at all. Have you forgotten it?"
"I haven't! I haven't forgotten! But I would rather be!"
Allie’s crazy roar lost control, and Derek was quiet for an instant, staring at his wife in amazement, losing the ability to argue, but Allie ignored her, her hair became messy in the wind, and she was hysterical. He yelled, as if to vent all the pain and despair in his heart, and continued to talk endlessly:
"Yes, I said, I said it! I would rather Heather is still unconscious, so that at least, at least she is still alive, can't speak, can't respond, can't smile, won't be in pain, but, at least She is alive! Do you understand? I want my Heather to live, I just want her to live. What dreams, what music, what blue gifts, all go away! I want my daughter, I want me Baby! I just want her to live.
I hate him! I hate him! If it weren't for him, Heather is fine now, Heather is still by my side now, Heather can still hear me now. I hate him! Did you hear that? I hate him! "
Gritting his teeth and cursing and hating, he stretched his teeth and danced his claws on the hideous face, twisted and exaggerated, and gradually blurred into a ball of light and shadow in the background of sparse sunlight and withered branches.
"Lan Li?" Derek yelled in astonishment when he saw the figure inside the glass door. He quickly opened the sliding door and walked in in a panic, "Lan Li...uh..." trying to explain something. But found that all the words were stuck in his throat, and his eyes were filled with helplessness and helplessness.
With a slight smile on Lan Li's face, he politely nodded and greeted, "Derek." Then he nodded to Ai Li again. Ai Li was a little embarrassed, but stubbornly put aside his chin and moved away. Sight, refused to make any eye contact with Lan Li. So Lan Li looked at Derek again, "Hasher's condition is okay?"
There is no imaginary anger, no imaginary anxiety, the blue gift in front of me is calm and calm, like a quiet and vast lake, deep blue; but the concern and worry in the eyes are still so sincere, it seems that all the words just now , He didn't even hear it.
Derek opened his mouth, defending, apologizing, and comforting. Countless thoughts were surging in his mind, but he couldn't say a word. He could only slumped his shoulders in frustration and weakness, "No. She's very bad now." Derek looked back. Looking at his wife, the fragmented back figure seems to fall apart at any time in the cold wind of Xiao Xiao, "Uh... the doctor said that the rate of respiratory system failure is beyond imagination. In fact, the rate of deterioration has been constant in the past three weeks. Speeding up. Now... there is not much they can do now..."
Derek's words didn't have much order, but dryly repeated the same content over and over again, and finally couldn't say any more, so he looked at Lan Li in a daze, "Sorry, Ellie, she..."
Lan Li waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, I understand."
Lan Li knew that Ally was not directed at him or anyone, she was just full of anger, angry at everything, and then aimlessly vented her anger to everyone around her and everything, as if she could just vent her anger to everyone around her. If the fault is condemned, Heather can get better and his heart can be calmed down.
Lan Li also knew that this would not work. When Allie realized this in the depths of her heart, that kind of helplessness and loss, this was the most terrifying, like a bottomless abyss, haunting herself tightly. Some people can't get out for a lifetime.
"Len Li..." Derek scratched his hair in annoyance, always feeling that he should say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.
This is not Lan Li’s fault, nor is it anyone’s fault.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, in 2012, is an unpredictable, unstoppable, and incurable disease that can only be relieved; but even if it is rehabilitation and relief, the effect is still unknown.
When Heather was diagnosed, the doctor said that he had told Derek and Ally that they needed to be mentally prepared all the time. The patient may die in just one year, or may live for more than ten years. In terms of current medical conditions, the average life expectancy of most patients is about three to five years.
This year is the seventh year Heather was diagnosed.
They all know this clearly, but they are still not mentally prepared.
"Derek, can I go into the ward to visit Heather?" Lanly did not respond to Derek. If Elf Hall was here, she could advance and retreat properly and speak comforting words with proper etiquette, but would not appear too close or too alienated, but Lan Li didn't want this. This is not a polite social occasion.
"Oh." Derek reacted, nodded, and was about to speak, but Ellie's shout came from behind him, "Derek! We need to go back to the ward. The nurses' work should be over." Allie quickly After stepping out, he glanced at Lan Li hurriedly, but after all he dared not look into Lan Li's eyes, speeding up, passing through like a gust of wind.
Derek was dumbfounded, his gaze was stunned, and the words got stuck in his throat again ~ lightnovelpub.net~ Finally, Lan Li reminded him, "Hurry up and go back to the ward, I think, Heather wants to see his parents are there. Around."
Derek nodded in a panic, no longer paying attention to Lan Li, and trotting all the way to catch up. The two couples disappeared into the dazzling light in the corridor in a blink of an eye.
"Lan Li." Nathan's suppressed anger and unwilling voice came from behind. Lan Li turned around, with a smile on his face. "Today, the number of calls to my name seems to be too much. Last night The sequelae of the concert does not seem to have disappeared."
Even Andy and Roy have shallow worries between the eyebrows, not to mention Nathan. They are all fighting for the injustice of Lan Li, and they are all worried about Lan Li's state.
But as a party, Lan Li was the calmest one. The situation experienced in the previous life happened again, everything seemed familiar, but this time, he became a bystander, this feeling is really weird.
"Let's go to work first. I will stay in the hospital for a while and help out." Lan Li immediately made a decision, "I will be there on time for the party in the evening." Perceiving Andy's hesitant eyes, Lan Li nodded and confirmed, "Trust me, I'm fine. Just like last year, if I feel bad, I will take the initiative."
