Lan Li suppressed the sadness in his heart and took a step towards Mei Duo.

The white-haired grandfather was still standing next to him, holding a piece of chocolate in his hand, trying to comfort Mei Duo, but found that the power of words was too weak after all, so he put the chocolate next to Mei Duo, turned around, and patted Lan Li's arm lightly to express condolences.

"Thank you. When Lan Li spoke again, he realized that his voice was hoarse, and that powerlessness was wrapping around every muscle in his body, and he had used almost all the energy of his body to barely stand.

At this moment, even a little warmth from a stranger can make Lan Li feel strength again—at least not the coldness of those reporters, which makes people feel hopeless about the darkness of the world.

The old man turned and left, and sat down on the bench on the other side. Lan Li didn't know his story, every family member waiting in the lounge had their own story and their own sorrows, but he really didn't have the energy to take care of the others now, and after smiling and nodding to the old man again, Lan Li withdrew his gaze and looked at Mei Duo again.

Meadow curled herself up like a hedgehog, curled herself up into a ball when she was in danger, and used her spikes to defend herself against danger, whether it was a friend or an enemy, as long as she stretched out her hand, she was bound to drench blood, and this was the case with Nathan, who was sitting cross-legged next to him.

After thinking about it, Lan Li relaxed his steps and slowly sat down beside Mei Duo, two positions apart, the pain in his waist and thighs became exciting again, so that Lan Li had to grit his teeth and quietly suppress all the pain, and years of etiquette training still kept him in a calm state.

Lan Li sat quietly like this, letting the pain, mood, torment, and chaos all slowly settle down, picked up the chocolate that the old man had put on the sofa just now, opened it, broke it in half, and put it in his mouth, sweet, so sweet that it was greasy, the taste of milk and saccharin almost covered up the original taste of black cocoa, but now Lan Li only felt bitter in his mouth.

Turning around, Lan Li handed over the chocolate, "Mei Duo, it's me, Lan Li." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Lan Li choked up, and the moment of emotion was so fierce that he himself lost control. He didn't know...... He didn't know how to comfort the girl in front of him, he didn't know how to convince himself, he didn't know what to do, he didn't know what was going to happen in the future, he didn't know anything, he was like a fool.

"Meadow. Taking a deep breath, Lan Li continued, "How did you get here? Why don't you wear one more piece of clothing? The weather isn't that warm today." If you catch a cold, your dad will be worried. Have you called your grandparents? Need me to call your mother? Maybe you can have a little chocolate to warm up a little bit. ”

For the first time, Lan Li felt that he was so clumsy, he couldn't even say comforting words, just babbling about those trivial things, little things that didn't make any sense.

He couldn't say anything.

"Everything will be fine", "Your dad will be fine", "Your dad will get through", "Things are not as serious as imagined", "Everything will pass after all"......

He couldn't say these words.

Because he was even more afraid than Mei Duo, lest his words could not be realized in the end, but they would cause more harm to Mei Duo, and he was afraid that he would become the one who hurt Mei Duo. He was a cowardly coward. He was really, really scared now, but he didn't dare to show it at all.

There was finally a moment of silence in the family lounge.

Mei Duo seemed to finally hear Lan Li's words, quietly raised her head, looked left and right with her eyes, those fierce and vicious big men finally disappeared, and then she saw Lan Li's face, she finally couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly flew towards Lan Li, holding Lan Li firmly, firmly, firmly, as if a drowning person had finally found a driftwood.

"Lan Li. Blue Rite. After only two shouts, Mei Duo finally couldn't support it anymore, and the whole person fell apart and cried, "Lan Li, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry." Mei Duo hugged Lan Li like this, buried her head in that embrace, and cried bitterly, "If Dad ...... Father...... I haven't told him yet that I love him. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I love him really, really much, he can't leave, can't. I was wrong, Dad, I was wrong. ”

The heart-rending cry just repeated "I'm sorry" over and over again, sentence after sentence, again and again, which made Lan Li's heart twist like a knife, and he could only grit his teeth tightly, otherwise his vulnerability and fear would leak out.

He needs to be strong. Both Paul and Meadow needed him to be strong.

"Daddy is going to be fine, isn't it? Isn't it? Lan Li! How can Dad do this? He said yes, he said he wants to grow up with me! He said yes he wants to teach me to ski! He said yes he wants to hand me over to his prom dance partner! He said yes! How can he talk and not count! He lied. Lan Li, he lied. He couldn't just leave! He couldn't! He promised me, how could he, how could he lie to me! Didn't he say yes, he wanted to be a good father? He promised. He promised me. ”

Mei Duo's voice was muffled, deep, and fragmented, and she couldn't hear the whispers clearly, but she completely released the tormented pain.

One after another, the shouts hit the heart like a heavy hammer, and it was so muffled that people couldn't breathe.

Lan Li raised her hands and gently, slowly, and gently took Mei Duo into her arms, like a gentle harbor, protecting Mei Duo under her wings, "I'm here." Meadow, I'm here, don't worry, I've always been here. ”

Paul Walker, you damn fellow! If you dare to give up easily, I swear! Even if you go to hell, I'll chase it myself! You can't give up! I won't allow you to give up! I really can't take it again! I can't help it. Paul Walker, I need you to keep up, please!

Mei Duo's hug was so hard that the bruises on her waist began to hurt again, and every muscle in her body was protesting, but the piercing pain made Lan Li's brain become clear, and the indomitable energy made Lan Li straighten her shoulders again, supporting the already shattered sky above Mei Duo's head.

Lan Li hugged Mei Duo tightly, and her voice gradually became resolute, "Mei Duo, everything still has a turnaround. You know? Everything is still turning around. Your dad hasn't given up yet, and neither should we!"

In the previous life, Paul's injuries were so severe that he died before he could even reach the hospital.

In this life, the situation is still different after all, Paul was escorted to the hospital, and now things are still turning around. They can't give up, and it's not time to give up yet!

The trajectory of fate has changed. They can't give up, they definitely can't give up!

"Mei Duo, do you know? Your father is the strongest kind of person in the world, he knows that you are still waiting for him, he knows that he wants to grow up with you, so he will not give up easily, promise me, we will not give up easily, okay?" Lan Li repeated in a low voice, as if to convince Mei Duo, and also seemed to convince himself.

Mei Duo raised her head slowly, her little face was like a cat at this time, her eyes were completely swollen, and she looked at Lan Li helplessly, but she couldn't make a sound at all.

Lan Li gently tucked her chin, "I know, you love him." However, you still have to say this sentence to him in person, you know? He is waiting, he has been waiting, before he hears this sentence, how can he be willing to give up? Mei Duo, you say, right?" As he spoke, his voice choked again, but this time Lan Li controlled it and showed a shallow smile towards Mei Duo, bringing a trace of warmth.

Mei Duo looked at Lan Li in a daze, but after all, she didn't say anything, and fell back into Lan Li's arms, her crying gradually became calmer, and she curled up in Lan Li's arms weakly and exhausted, just like a kitten lost in the storm, trying to find a trace of warmth in the ice and snow.

Such a plum duo looks like a delicate and fragile porcelain doll, and if you are not careful, it will fall apart.

Since entering the hospital, Mei Duo and Lan Li have gained a brief peace, two timid and wounded souls leaning on each other, the darkness does not seem so terrifying, but the calm is only very, very short, and before they have time to relax, they have to tense up again.

The night is not over.

"Paul Walker's family?" shouted a doctor in a white lab coat as he appeared in the family break room.

Lan Li patted Mei Duo lightly on the shoulder, and the two of them stood up one after the other, and Nathan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also stood up awkwardly, and followed forward step by step.

"I'm Derek-Shepperd, the attending doctor in the Department of Neurology, who will be in charge of Paul Walker's head surgery next, and I'm looking for ...... Uh, Lan Li Hale?" The man who came looked to be about his mid-40s, should be considered a young man in the medical lineup, obviously, he didn't know much about Hollywood, and he didn't show a difference because of the names of Lan Li and Paul.

Lan Li nodded in response, "Just now the nurse said that there are some consent forms that I need to sign. ”

"Yes, the patient's medical insurance has signed the relevant agreement, and if there is an emergency, his immediate family members have no way to rush to the scene, then the relevant situation will be handed over to Lan Li. This includes a surgical protocol, an extubation protocol, and so on. Derek said simply, "But it's not that serious now, we can discuss the details later, let's talk about the surgery first." ”

Mei Duo had reached the limit of her challenge, and she couldn't bear to continue listening, almost unable to support her body, and could only barely stand with the support of Lan Li.

This is an ordeal for Meadow.
