Lan Li was slightly stunned. His heart stopped in the pattern of time. He quickly lowered his eyelids and covered up the confusion and turbulence of the fundus defensively. He tasted bitterness on the tip of his tongue, but could not describe it, "when?"? And... How? " The calm voice has no joyful joy, but also no flustered confusion, just to restore calm, no joy, no sorrow, people can not distinguish the real emotion.
"When" and "how" are just two words. They are restrained and restrained. Even the noise of air flow can be heard.
Such a calm lanli makes Andy feel uneasy. He didn't know Heather cross, but he knew Mount Sinai Hospital, and he knew the meaning of hospital volunteer work to Langley.
Andy once suggested that this charity activity could be publicized to the public and become a part of the image project of lanli and a part of media hype, but lanli refused. He just wants to do his best. There is no hype and no need to publicize. More importantly, he didn't want to break the peace of these children's lives.
"I don't know much about the details." Andy also came to New York today, but he didn't have time to go to mount Sinai Hospital. "It should have happened the day before yesterday. I heard that sputum blocked her respiratory tract. She couldn't breathe. After breathing hard, it led to instant asphyxia, which led to cardiac arrest. The doctor had to carry out surgical rescue immediately."
Simple two words, Andy said extremely difficult. He looked at Lan Li seriously. Lan Li was very quiet and listened attentively. There were no special ups and downs. He just focused on it, but his inner uneasiness was growing. Andy is not used to this kind of Langley.
"Yesterday, Heather's mother called me, Ellie." Andy continued calmly. "They've been trying to reach you, but without your mobile phone, they've been going through the actors' Union and finally found me. Now Heather is still in a coma, the doctor said the situation has been under control, but Heather did not wake up, just depends on the will of the individual. She, er, I mean Ellie, she tried all kinds of ways, almost desperate, and finally thought of you
To be honest, Andy was surprised when he got the call. His first reaction is to hang up the phone. No matter whether the other party is a liar or not, the problem is that it is unrealistic if every patient makes a request to the artist and the agent has to deal with every request.
A more appropriate way is to submit an application to spirit.
Genies, a charitable organization in the United States, is also known as the wish foundation. As the name says, it is a special "wish fulfillment" organization. Every minor who is seriously ill or even terminally ill can fill in an application letter and submit it to the spirit organization. Charity organizations can help them realize a dream.
Elves do a lot of auditing every week to help these children realize their long cherished wish. If necessary, they will also contact the corresponding artists and hope them to participate in these charity activities.
But when he learned that Heather was a patient at Mount Sinai Hospital, Andy answered the phone.
For Heather, Andy only regret, no resonance, because the name has no meaning to him, just a stranger. But at this moment, looking at the calm blue Li, Andy's words are stuck in his throat, almost speechless. His dark brown eyes make him feel small.
For the first time, Andy lowered his eyes and avoided his eyes. "She wants to ask if you have time to go to the hospital and visit heather."
The last time I met with Heather... He remembered that Heather was in good condition and was preparing for the audition of "American Idol"; He remembers that Heather's rehabilitation is becoming more and more positive; He remembered that Heather, bathed in the sun, hummed the melody softly, and his dream was setting sail; He thought that everything was getting better and his condition was under control. But how could things suddenly be different?
Or did he remember wrong? What's wrong with his memory?
Lan Li nodded and pulled the corner of his mouth. The shallow radian was an elegant and warm smile, "of course. Please go directly to mount Sinai Hospital, sir This sentence is said to the driver.
The driver turned to look at Andy, got the affirmation, and made an "OK" gesture, "no problem."
"Lan Li." Andy anxiously called a, blue Li turned his head, cast a confused line of sight, seems to ask, "what's the matter", but let Andy unprepared, for a moment do not know what to say, can only be subconsciously asked a, "are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Lan Li said with a smile. He even gave a light smile, relaxed, and then took back his eyes. He turned his head to look out of the window, with a smooth and normal look.
Andy speechless, silent Leng in place, turned and Roy exchanged a line of sight, and then in each other's eyes to see the deep worry. However, both of them were trapped and helpless. There was silence in the car.
The cold and cold outside the window, the warm and quiet inside the car, interlaced, a thin layer of fog appeared on the window glass, and the whole world became hazy and blurred. You can vaguely see the scene of constantly flying back, as if you can see the trace of time flowing fast, the flash of light and shadow, changing into different shapes and colors, The magnificence and grandeur of the vicissitudes of life are changing rapidly in the depth of the pupil. Just in the blink of an eye, several centuries have passed.
Gradually, the gray high-rise buildings, the crowded crowd and the traffic jam slow down the pace, and finally fall into the traffic. Half an hour, an hour, the passage of time begins to lose its meaning; But the world has not become clear, but more and more blurred, leaving only one outline in the accumulation, bustling, dense, ubiquitous sense of crowding, slowly pouring in.
A mouthful of phlegm.
For ordinary people, it's just a matter of coughing; But for Heather, he became a killer. Respiratory failure and weakness, swallowing and speaking become difficult, even breathing become luxury.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, such a complicated disease name, seems to lose its meaning, so that lanli almost forgot the severity and sharpness of the disease, and then, without warning, it choked Heather's throat and also life's throat. Crisp and clean, kill cut fruit decisive, a little breathing space are not left.
All of a sudden, Lan Li opened the car door, and the cold air suddenly surged in. Everyone in the car shivered and turned away in fear. Only Lan Li's back was seen, and he ran away.
"Lan Li!" Nathan was the first to yell. He opened the door and tried to catch up. Then Roy and Andy got out of the car and yelled, "Langley!" But these shouts didn't stop him. He ran around the traffic, around the road, onto the sidewalk beside him, into the surging crowd, running, just running.
Nathan only chased out for a short distance, and then he was out of breath, completely unable to keep up with lanli's speed. He could only watch the figure disappear in the crowd.
Turning around, Nathan's face was full of worry, and he said, "what to do, what to do... Heather, Heather is one of Langley's best friends, and Langley even brought a gift to Heather in Berlin."
Andy closes his eyes with regret. He should know more, he should care more. But it's too late. Look up and see Roy with his eyes closed.
Roy breathed heavily. "Langley will take care of himself. Let's go to mount Sinai Hospital as soon as possible. " He raised his hand and scratched his hair like a bird's nest. He had countless thoughts, but he couldn't figure out a thread“ Andy, you said, "shouldn't I leave Langley in Berlin?"
Andy and Roy exchange a look, but there is no answer.
Run, run all the way. Langley felt that his chest was burning. The heat was so intense that he could hardly breathe. He needs a little fresh air. So he did. He didn't know what he was doing or what he was going to do. He just followed his instinct, let go of his steps, and ran towards the front. He wasn't even sure whether the direction was right or where.
The brain stopped working completely. Two generations, see through life and death, after vicissitudes, but at this moment, the brain is still down, lost the ability to think, only blank, large blank, did not come to panic, heartbeat completely lost rhythm, panic and rapid impact.
I don't know how long I have been running. My lungs are finally overburdened. My breathing starts to become hot and turbulent. My feet finally stop. I support my knees with my hands and breathe in a big mouth. However, I start to cough because I am too hasty. I cough violently and I almost start to vomit.
Biting air along the breath into the body, extremely cold and extremely hot collision together, the limbs are suddenly cold down, the brain finally recovered calm.
Heather.
It's not his story, it's Heather's. The man lying in a coma on the sickbed is heather; The one in urgent need right now is heather. It's not him.
Standing up straight, looking around in a panic, the repression of the steel forest and the confusion of the surging crowd, each individual is so small that if he is not careful, he will be lost in the city. An empty taxi came into view. Lanli quickly raised his hand to signal the other party to stop and get on smoothly. Then he said, "Mount Sinai Hospital."
When the taxi arrived at the hospital, lanli found that he ran out in a hurry. He didn't carry his wallet or mobile phone.
"Langley, right?" The driver recognized lanli and said in the rearview mirror, "I know you. I've seen love crazy.". If you don't have your wallet, you can owe it for the time being and give it to me next time. " Catching the confusion in lanli's eyes, the driver said with a smile, "everyone has an accident. I don't know why you came to the hospital, but I hope everything will be OK. "
"Thank you." Lanli patted the back of the driver's seat. "Give me your business card. I'll contact you later."
