Chapter 58

Across a few streets, soon into the scope of Madison Avenue, a dark red Victorian style building appeared in the line of sight, abruptly but wonderfully integrated into the surrounding streets.

As the bridgehead of Europe's landing in North America, New York has left countless marks of European iron hooves. For example, Harlem District, whose name comes from the Netherlands, was the territory of the Netherlands in those years. The building was completed in the middle of the 19th century. It is a long time since the colonial era, but the designer still followed the exotic style of the neighborhood, which made it a beautiful landscape.

Lanli quickly entered the gate, then put the skateboard away and came to the first floor, "Kelly." Lanli said hello to the young lady standing behind the counter and handed in the skateboard.

The lady named Kelly took the skateboard and gave a big smile, "here you are!"

With a smile, lenley responded, "I'm five minutes late. I'll go up first and talk about it later." Kelly nodded that there was no problem, put the skateboard under the counter, and then lanli quickly ran to the elevator, rushed in before the elevator door closed.

The elevator stopped on the seventh floor. Lanli walked out of the elevator door and saw a little girl about six or seven years old sitting on an orange plastic bench with her chin supported by her hands and her mouth puffed. The blow up cheek looks like a bubble fish, which makes people laugh.

Lan Li walked forward, squatted down in front of the little girl and touched her little head, but she stubbornly twisted, her eyebrows twisted together, and looked at Lan Li angrily, "I'm thinking! Don't disturb me The little adult's appearance is really amusing.

Lan Li also restrained his smile and said solemnly, "is there no defecation today?"

The little girl bit her teeth, waved her chubby right fist, and then hit her left palm hard, "Lan Li, I haven't defecated for three days! Three days Then she looked up at the sky and sighed, "Jesus Christ, am I full of stool now? I don't think I can wash my bath clean."

Lan Li was about to burst into tears, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only shake his fist and cheer for her, "I believe you! It can be done today! "

The little girl also shook her fist, with a face full of benevolence when she failed, "today is today! I've decided to go to the bathroom now, so I can't accompany you for the time being! "

"Don't worry, I can stand it alone. I won't lose it!" Blue Li also very seriously said, two people once again mutual way "refuel", and then blue Li watched the little girl a face tragically toward the toilet direction walked past, the little adult's appearance is really can't help laughing.

This building is actually a hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, one of the best children's hospitals in New York.

In his last life, Lan Li spent one third of his life in the hospital. The long years made him feel mixed about the hospital. Some rejected, some hated, but some missed. He knew more clearly than anyone that the pain and suffering of long-term hospitalization was something that the onlookers could not understand, Even friends who are also patients may not be able to understand it, because each patient has his own demons and stories.

Sometimes, the patient will inexplicably start to get angry, towards all the people around, no reason, also can't control. For family members and friends, they can only stand by in a hurry, want to help but simply can not start, constantly asking, "what do you want?" As long as the patient speaks, they will do their best to help.

But lanli knew that they didn't really want anything, they just... Just didn't know what to do. The love, the worry, the pain, the torture, the closeness from family and friends, they know, they all know, but they still can't change the fact that they are sick, and they can't change the fact that everyone can't do anything about it. The anger, the jealousy, the depression that burst out from their hearts, even they can't control. Even if they know that it's not the fault of their family and friends, they can't find someone to vent, can they?

Maybe, they just need a person beside them, they can ignore it, but they will stick there far away and never leave.

They know that this requirement is too much, because even their families have their own lives, and they can't stop forever just because of their illness. But what else can they ask for?

In this life, from high school, Lan Li began to volunteer in the hospital every week. When he was 18 years old, he got a professional nursing license, hoping to help more people within his ability. Even if he changed the city, he would never interrupt his action. In the past eight months, apart from filming in the "Pacific War", he also insisted on continuing to work as a volunteer in a nearby hospital in Australia.

It's not kindness, it's not charity, it's just empathy.

The little girl, Annie seliman, was living in Mount Sinai Hospital during the lenley filming. Lanli once asked the doctor about Annie's condition, and the other side explained a lot of medical terms. Even though lanli later read the professional medical skills, she still had limited understanding. She only knew that Annie had a problem with her metabolic system, and it was difficult for her to complete this basic function through her own body function, not only defecating, but also sweating.

If in a period of time, she is still unable to complete the autonomous excretion, it can only be through medical means. After coming back to New York, lanli once saw Anne receive a treatment. Her thin body was lying helplessly on the hospital bed with tubes all over her. She lay quietly for three days, unable to do anything, even speak. The long process of suffering so that onlookers can not bear to see, not to mention the treatment of Anne herself?

"Lan Li, Lan Li, Lan Li!" Behind him came the whistling sound of a small train. Without waiting for lanli to turn around, a little guy jumped on lanli's back and said, "plane, plane, fly!"

Lanli put his hands on the little guy's buttocks, stood up and quickly circled, and then sprinted forward. The little guy on his back cheered happily, "flying, I'm flying! Anita, Anita, look, I'm flying

Anita Tunisia, the head nurse in the nursing station, sat up straight and cried out, "lanli, don't be too long, don't be too fierce, Alex's heart can't stand it!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Blue Li raised his voice to shout, and then ran all the way with Alex on his back, and asked, "sir! Please indicate the destination! "

Alex Reich raised his upper body in high spirits, exhausted all the strength in his body, and yelled, "Normandy!"

I don't know where the little guy heard Normandy, but Langley didn't have time to snicker, because Alex's voice was so loud that the whole floor was startled, and many people ran out. This was not good. It disturbed the rest of other patients. It was absolutely the move that thousands of people pointed out. So Langley grabbed Alex's calf with both hands and put a top on it, First he fell on his shoulder, then he grabbed his waist with both hands and strode over his head, holding the little guy in his arms. "Sir, all the enemies were awakened, we must run“

With the giggle of Alex in his arms, Langley took him to the family rest area at the end of the corridor, then curled up in the armchair, like a soldier looking for cover.

Alex covered his mouth with his hands, but he still giggled, obviously very happy. But there was a riot in the corridor. The nurses gnashed their teeth one by one, and some parents also came out. Some new parents didn't understand the situation and thought that something had happened, so other parents explained the situation with a smile.

"Alex Ricky!" A nurse stood at the end of the bench with her hands in her waist, "you didn't finish your medicine at noon, so you sneaked out! What do you think Langley will do with you? "

Lan Li's eyes widened and he looked at the naughty little guy. Without waiting for Lan Li to make a sound, the little guy quickly admitted his mistake, "I'm going to eat, I'm going to eat now! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to The big watery eyes looked pitifully at lanli, just like a little dog.

Lanli wrinkled his nose and rubbed Alex's hair. "Take the medicine quickly, and then come to Heather's ward. I'll make kites for you. I'll fly them in the afternoon!"

"Really?" Alex's eyes lit up, and Langley pointed to the huge backpack on his shoulder. "Of course!"

After hearing this, Alex jumped out of lanli's arms and ran out without waiting for the nurse. "Come on, come on, I want to take medicine! I want to take medicine The nurse followed helplessly and ran after him. "Alex, slow down, slow down."

Alex, 10, spent two years at Mount Sinai Hospital with congenital heart disease. In fact, his illness can be recuperated at home. As long as there is no strenuous exercise, his daily life will not be greatly affected. However, his parents are busy people. They are not at home for 350 days a year. They hire private nurses at home, but they are upset by Alex. They leave the little guy in the hospital - at least they have friends here.

He got up again, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then strode forward. He said hello to the parents of the children all the way. Finally, he stopped at the entrance of "314" ward. The noise didn't disturb the peace here. Lanli knocked on the trick to remind him, then pushed the door of the room directly and said hello with a smile, "Good afternoon, Heather. It's sunny today, isn't it?"
