Heather Cross lay sullen in her hospital bed/on/with her eyes tightly closed, trying to put herself to sleep, but the more she slept, the more refreshed she became, she knew her mother was sick, she knew her father was struggling with work, and she knew she shouldn't ask for more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, if she is healthy, she will not be a burden to the family, and if she is healthy, she will be able to go to school, make friends, and ...... normally? Go to the movies. But, that's only if.
"Heather. There was a low call in my ears, a whisper like a whisper, which made my ears itch a little. Heather's eyes rolled, but she didn't open them, still pretending to be asleep, and then the voice came closer, whispering again, "Heather." ”
The London accent and mellow accent, like the strings of a cello, could be heard by Heather, and it was Lan Li.
Heather resisted the urge to open her eyes, but she was still indifferent, she didn't want to move today, she just wanted to be quietly stuffed on the bed/, no one wanted to care, not even Lan Li.
After a moment's pause, Heather heard two more shouts, and then Lan Li seemed to give up, whispering in a low voice, "She's resting, forget it." ”
"Didn't the doctor say that she was in excellent physical condition for the last few days? ”
"I don't know, I guess it's because of the weather. ”
……
Heather couldn't help but stretch her ears, Lan Li was not alone, there was another companion next to him. But this voice, Heather could not recognize, she had a curious urge to open her eyes directly and take a look. Then she heard what she was most interested in:
"What about the movie?"
"Let's go on our own. Originally, I wanted to take her with me, but the weather was not good, and the nurse didn't agree, so forget it. Don't take any chances, in case her condition deteriorates further. ”
"But wasn't it because Heather wanted to go to the movies in the first place? If Heather didn't go, we might have taken Anne and Alex to the museum. ”
"Don't!" Heather sat up straight, the atrophied muscles burst out with energy that even she was startling herself, barely spending much strength, but she didn't care about it at this time, her eyes widened, looking at Lan Li who was standing next to the hospital bed, and ...... Paul Walker?
Why is Paul in the hospital?
Heather didn't have time to think deeply, and said eagerly, "I'm in good shape. I mean, after a morning's sleep, I couldn't feel better now. After saying that, Heather also stretched out as if Sleeping Beauty had woken up from her slumber, "I'm ready now, I want to go to a movie this afternoon, what do you think?"
But after saying that, Heather realized that there were too many loopholes in her words, which directly exposed the fact that she had just pretended to be asleep, and hurriedly made up for it, "How about it? I mean, what do you think of this proposal? Let's go to a movie together in the afternoon? I heard that 'Buried Alive' is still being released?"
Heather's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she looked at Lan Li with burning eyes, lest she hear an answer of refusal.
Heather's words were simply full of loopholes, but Lan Li didn't intend to expose her, he and Paul exchanged glances, and both of them showed embarrassed expressions, "Heather, if it's in the entertainment room, using the projector to play old movies, then there's no problem." But take you out and that's ......"
Paul also stood next to the performance and said, "yes, the weather in New York is really bad today, and it's not a wise choice to go out to the movies." ”
Lan Li continued to add fuel to the fire, "What's more, we need to ask for Derek and Ellie's permission to take you out. Taking you out without permission, this is against the rules of the hospital, in case they call the police......" Lan Li looked at Paul, and both of them nodded again and again, making a worried look, and the narrow light in their eyes could only be understood by themselves.
"No, it won't. "I've been in good health lately, not only has my condition not deteriorated, but my rehabilitation has been very effective. The doctors praised me, and my father wanted to take me out to the movies, and the doctors agreed. Originally, my dad was going to take me out to watch a movie today, but it was only canceled because of a temporary meeting, so it's no problem, absolutely no problem!"
Heather's eager posture didn't even notice that she knelt on the bed on her knees, her upper body stood up straight, her eyes were full of longing and anticipation, and there was a hint of pleading, and the lively and excited vitality was something Lan Li had never seen before. If it weren't for the hospital gown on her body, she couldn't help but forget the fact that she was sick.
Heather looked at Lan Li and Paul seriously, her hands were tightly staggered, placed on her chest, and made a gesture of prayer and suplication, and then she saw the two of them exchange glances, Lan Li sighed lightly, that look seemed to have been shaken, she knew that she had to add another fire.
So, Heather hurriedly continued, "I promise, I will take care of keeping warm, and I will be careful, be careful." If you're not feeling well, I'll tell you as soon as possible, don't worry, we'll go to the movie theater two blocks away, it's not too far, really! A movie is only two hours. ”
Lan Li crossed his hands on his hips and let out a long sigh, "The premise is ......"
As soon as this sentence was uttered, Heather screamed, "Ahh
Lan Li smiled dumbly, "The premise is that you must keep it secret. Otherwise, if Derek and Elle had known, Paul and I would have suffered. ”
Heather couldn't say a word, just nodded vigorously and kept nodding her head.
"Well, we have to be careful not to be discovered by Anita. Lan Li seemed to have finally made up her mind, and Heather excitedly raised her hands in the air, her whole face blooming with a radiant light, "Has the time for today's room patrol passed?"
Heather nodded vigorously, twenty minutes ago, the rounds were over.
"We'll have to find you some clothes to keep you warm. Lan Li seemed to be starting to use his brain, and his eyes fell on Paul, and he teased, "And Paul must also find a thick coat." The complaining tone made Heather chuckle, especially when he saw Paul's awkward, jerky smile.
"You change your clothes first, Paul and I go to the staff locker room to find clothes, and we'll be back right away. Lan Li instructed again, "Remember, be careful not to be discovered. With that, Lan Li and Paul turned around and left the ward.
However, the two men did not go far, but looked through the glass of the ward, and then saw Heather kneeling on the bed, dancing her hands vigorously, shouting silently with her mouth wide open, and after venting her joy to the fullest, she began to rummage through her clothes, starting with her socks, step by step, and began to dress herself.
It wasn't an easy task, and even with just a sock, she was already panting. But what does it matter? She's going out! She's leaving this hospital! She's going to the movies! Just thinking about it makes her want to scream with excitement.
Looking at Heather's back, she was so focused, so engaged, clumsily and with difficulty, she put her two socks on, and then showed a happy expression of contentment, and even began to hum a ballad softly.
Paul's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, and then there was a gentle patting motion on his shoulder, and Lan Li's voice followed, "Let's go, you do need a coat, Anita said there are two in the locker room, go see if it's your size." ”
What others could have done in five minutes, Heather had taken twenty-five minutes, but the coat still hadn't been put on. She put on her base layer and sweater, her body became more clumsy, and after half of her coat was put on, the other half was never put on, and Heather stopped for a moment, gasping for breath.
Looking back at the door of the ward, Lan Li and Paul still hadn't returned, which made Heather a little worried, but she wasn't worried that Lan Li would break her promise. But what if Lan Li is discovered? What if it's Anita who comes in one second?
The emotions of gaining and losing filled her mind with all kinds of conjectures, and Heather gritted her teeth, withdrew her gaze, and fought with her coat again. She can't give up, and she won't give up.
"Heather, are you ready?" Lan Li's low voice came from behind her, and Heather's emotions immediately flew up again, nodding, "Okay!" She couldn't help but say in a whispered voice, "Anita didn't notice you, did she?"
"Nope. But we have to be careful. Lan Li held a black puffer jacket in his hand and gestured to Heather, "It's a little ugly, but, it's low-key enough, and it's warm enough, don't you mind?"
"Don't you know that girls love beauty?" retorted with a wrinkle of her nose, but the playful tone revealed her true thoughts.
With the help of Lan Li, Heather put on her thin coat and then the thick coat, and then saw Paul push a wheelchair over.
"We're going to need to run wild, and I don't want to leave you alone and get caught. Don't abandon, don't give up, Corporal Cross. Lan Li's words made Heather chuckle, this meme came from "Saving Private Ryan".
After everything was ready, Lan Li explored the way in front, Paul pushed Heather to follow, the tense and exciting atmosphere was like "Mission Impossible", Heather only felt that the whole person began to get excited, but what came to mind was the plot of the "Home Alone" movie: Today, New York City will be in charge of her, isn't it?
"Nobody!, go!" Lan Li whispered in a rigorous voice like a combat troop, and then the two of them pushed the wheelchair and bent their waists, and sprinted all the way towards the elevator entrance.
