Caleb Walker and Cody Walker walked into the family lounge, and then they saw Lan Li sitting in a chair and reading the script, Cody quickened his pace and stepped forward, Caleb tried to call Cody, but he was half a step slower, just pounced, and then you could see that Cody had sat down next to Lan Li.

After hearing about the clash between Lan Li and Diesel, both Caleb and Cody had a subtle change in their attitudes.

Originally, Cody was a little dissatisfied with Lan Li, before Lan Li prevented Cody and Diesel from scheming, Cody also thought that Lan Li and Diesel were on the same front, and always felt that these actors were not very reliable, but he didn't expect Lan Li to teach Diesel a hard lesson, which suddenly made Cody suddenly brightened. Now, Cody is more intimate with Lan Li.

Caleb is the opposite, Diesel's snobbery and Lan Li's ferocity make Caleb aware of Vanity Fair's deceit, and he can't help but keep his distance, especially Lan Li's violence makes Caleb particularly jealous - how does he know that Lan Li is also using Paul? Caleb thinks it's better for them to distance themselves from these Vanity Fair rights and wrongs as much as possible.

Now seeing Cody approaching Lan Li with a look of intimacy, Caleb felt very tricky.

Caleb swallowed the words that came to his lips and took the initiative to step forward, but instead of taking a seat next to Lan Li, he chose to sit diagonally opposite.

“…… The doctor said that at this stage we can only be patient. Lan Li said calmly, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't catch the smile in his eyes.

Three days passed, and Paul remained unconscious, not awake.

In the face of such a situation, the doctor has no solution, because from a medical point of view, the lesion has been solved, and the patient can wake up only after the anesthesia disappears, but further, there are still parts of brain surgery that cannot be detected or mastered by humans, some patients can be awake soon, some patients may never be awake, and some patients may become another person after they wake up...... The only way now is to be patient.

When Cheryl Crabtree asked the doctor, Lan Li was by his side, and he could clearly feel that Cheryl's whole body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, "...... That...... When...... then" Cheryl's legs were almost weak, and if it weren't for Lan Li standing next to her to support her body, she would almost be unable to stand.

But Cheryl finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Then when will we know the result?"

Dr. Derek Shepard, who is still in charge of Paul's case, doesn't know, "What?"

I mean, if Paul had been unconscious, when would we have known if he would never wake up and ...... Then ......" The following words, Cheryl still didn't say after all.

Derek had already understood, "From a medical point of view, when his organs begin to fail, or when his physical symptoms begin to decline...... he explained point-to-point, and then saw Cheryl who covered his mouth and couldn't help but start retching, Derek cut off his words, "But it's not time yet, to be precise, there is still a long, far away, Paul has only finished the operation, we need to be patient and give Paul more time." ”

Behind those calm words, there is a huge shadow that threatens to tear reality to shreds at any moment. Although nothing can be seen now, although it is only a potential, the unsettling crisis makes people panic, like the monsters of the deep, the fear of the unknown is far more terrifying than the danger that can be seen.

After Derek left, Cheryl couldn't hold it anymore and turned and fled to the bathroom, hiding herself tightly before she lost her temper.

Lan Li stayed in the family lounge and waited quietly.

Paul's father and mother divorced by mutual agreement back in 2004, and over the years, both have started a new life of their own, so when it comes to arranging alternate shifts, Paul-alker-III. and Cheryl Crabtree's time is staggered.

After this incident, Lan Li learned that Paul came from a military family, his grandfather was a Pearl Harbor survivor, his grandfather went to Italy with General Patton to fight in World War II, and Paul was the fourth eldest son in the family, and his full name was Paul-illiam-alker-IV - only the eldest son could inherit the name.

The accident happened too suddenly, and it collided head-on when it was caught off guard, even now, Lan Li still has no sense of reality, the emptiness and panic floating on the water surface can never find a sense of solidity, just panic, endless panic can't stop at all.

When she sat alone on the lounge bench, Lan Li couldn't help but start thinking wildly, those trivial and inconsequential things occupied all her thoughts, and she couldn't concentrate at all, and inexplicably began to study those details, from Paul's mother to Paul's family, then to World War II, then to the "Pacific War", then to Rami Marek, and then to helmet and rainstorm......

When Caleb and Cody appeared, Lan Li's attention was completely focused on the cushions of the lounge bench, and he began to seriously wonder what kind of material it was—and in fact, he didn't even know how he thought of it, and even the beginning of his thoughts had become blurred, like duckweed swaying in the wind, and there was no way to settle down.

Cody's caring inquiry brought Lan Li back to his senses a little, and he still maintained his usual calm and calm on the surface, but his attention was always wavering, so that he didn't notice the difference in Cody and Caleb's attitudes at all.

Caleb stared at Lan Li, he wanted to ask about the fight with Diesel, but he didn't know how to cut in, and then Cody was straightforward and said directly, "Fan's matter, right? When we came up, the reporters below couldn't wait to start testing their mouths." ”

Lan Li was a little dazed, his attention was lost again, and Cody's words were not heard clearly.

Cody thought that Lan Li was really embarrassed, so he patted Lan Li on the shoulder half comforting and half supporting, "Otherwise, everything will be left to us, and we told reporters that all this is the guy's fault." If it weren't for the fact that he had been hooking up with the paparazzi, and if it hadn't been for him trying to disturb Paul's recuperation, things wouldn't have come to this point. ”

It's a big bag.

Lan Li came back to his senses at this time, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he looked a little weak, "Don't worry, reporters are the last thing to worry about now." Gathering his attention, his gaze wandered between Cody and Caleb, "If the reporter pesters you, just ignore everything." You are not obligated to answer their questions. ”

"That'...... And what if they say bad things about Paul?" Caleb still couldn't help but worry - they were all outsiders, Paul never said these things at home, and they never asked, thanks to Paul's low profile, the Walker family has always maintained a calm and simple life, and even Paul has several siblings, few people know.

"They don't dare. Lan Li smiled at Caleb and said, a simple sentence with unquestionable firmness, which made people feel a little reassured.

Caleb still couldn't believe that the gentleman's polite, kind and kind Lan Li in front of him was able to beat Diesel with his bare hands to the point that his face was covered in blood.

"I still have a job today, so I need to leave first. If anything, you can call my phone at any time, or Nathan's phone is fine. "Because Christopher Nolan's crew requested that Lan Li's work phone and personal phone are all placed at Nathan's place, and they are turned on 24 hours a day," Cheryl is still in the bathroom, she may need a little more time, wait a while, if she hasn't come out yet, you can talk to the nurses, please let them in and have a look." ”

Next, Lan Li exchanged a few more words with Cody and Caleb, and then took a step and prepared to leave.

"Lan Li, I'll send you down. Cody shouted, and Caleb tried to stop him, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it.

Cody managed to squeeze in before the elevator closed, "Your face looks very bad, isn't it that the low-grade fever has not completely subsided, so start working like this, is it okay?"

I didn't have a good rest for three days in a row, Lan Li's state was really bad, the beard was really embarrassed, the dark circles under my eyes also faintly appeared, and the most important thing was that the eyes didn't seem to be able to find that bright light anymore, the surface looked calm, but deep down revealed a sad staggering and fragility, others could only faintly feel the loss, but they couldn't say why, even if they wanted to comfort them, they couldn't start.

Cody is a straightforward guy who says whatever he feels.

Lan Li smiled at Cody, "Don't worry, I won't take any chances." I just didn't trim my beard, and I wasn't as bad as I looked. ”

While speaking, the elevator came to the first floor, and although Lan Li refused, Cody still insisted on escorting Lan Li to the gate.

In the distance, a crowd of reporters was tumbling in front of the hospital, ready to move, as Cody and Caleb said.

Lan Li stopped, "That's it." Otherwise, after you show up, they will haunt you again. Cheryl still needs you and Caleb to take care of her, you guys go up first, and I'll come back after today's work. Seeing that Cody was still a little worried, Lan Li added, "The reporter is just a sesame seed-sized thing, don't worry." ”

This time, Cody didn't hold out any longer.

Cody stood in place, watching Lan Li walk forward, the tall but lonely figure like a green pine disappeared in a halo, and then was swallowed up by the surging crowd of reporters, faintly, only Lan Li's broad and resolute shoulder lines could be seen, inexplicably outlining a touch of loneliness and loneliness.
