058 obscurity

Crossing several streets, you soon enter the confines of Madison Avenue, where a dark red Victorian building comes into view, abruptly but wonderfully blending into the surrounding streets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As the bridgehead for Europe's landing in North America, New York has left countless European imprints, such as Harlem, whose name comes from the Netherlands, when this area was the territory of the Netherlands. The building was completed in the mid-19th century, much after the colonial era, but the designers still followed the exotic style of the neighborhood, which made it a beautiful sight.

Lan Li quickly entered the door, then put away the skateboard and came to the first floor, "Kelly." Lan Li greeted the young lady standing behind the counter and reached out to hand over the skateboard.

The lady named Kelly took the skateboard and smiled widely, "You're here!"

Lan Li responded with a smile, "I'm already five minutes late, I'll go up first, and I'll talk about it later." Kelly nodded and put the skateboard under the counter, and then Lan Li ran quickly to the elevator, dodging in before the elevator doors closed.

The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, and Lan Li stepped out of the elevator door, and then saw a little girl about six or seven years old sitting on an orange plastic bench, supporting her chin with her hands, and pouting her mouth angrily.

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

Lan Li also restrained her smile and said seriously, "Did you have no bowel movements today?"

The little girl gritted her teeth, waved her chubby right fist, and then slammed it into the palm of her left hand, "Lan Li, I haven't had a bowel movement for three days!" Then she looked up to the sky and sighed, "Jesus Christ, am my stomach full of poop now, I don't think I can wash it clean in the bath." ā€

Lan Li laughed so much that tears were about to come out, but she couldn't laugh out loud, so she could only clench her fists and cheer her on, "I believe in you!

The little girl also shook her fist, with an unsuccessful expression on her face, "Today, it's today!" I decided to go to the bathroom to brew now, and I won't be able to accompany you for the time being!"

"Don't worry, I can withstand it alone, and I will never get lost!" Lan Li also said very seriously, and the two of them said "come on" to each other again, and then Lan Li watched the little girl walk towards the bathroom with a tragic face, and the appearance of the little adult was really unbearable.

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

In the previous life, Lan Li spent one-third of his life in the hospital, and the long years made him extremely mixed with his feelings about the hospital, some rejection, some hatred, but some nostalgia, he knew better than anyone that the pain and suffering of long-term hospitalization were feelings that bystanders could not experience, and even friends who were also patients could not understand, because each patient has his own demons and his own story.

Sometimes, the patient will inexplicably start to get angry, at everyone around him, for no reason, and there is no control. For family and friends, they can only stand by and do anxiously, wanting to help but have no idea where to start, constantly asking, "What do you want?" As long as the patient asks, they will do their best to help.

But Lan Li knew that they didn't actually want anything, they just ...... It's just that I don't know what to do. Those loves, those worries, those pains, those torments, those closeness from family and friends, they know, they all know, but they still can't change the fact that they are riddled with illness, and they can't change the fact that everyone is helpless, and the anger, jealousy, and depression that erupt in their hearts are beyond their control. Even though they know it's not their family and friends' fault, they can't find someone to vent to, can they?

Perhaps, they just need someone by their side, who they can ignore as much as they want, but stay there far away, not leaving.

They know that this is an excessive request, because even their own family members have their own lives, and they cannot stop forever because of their illness. But what more could they ask for?

In this life, since high school, Lan Li has been volunteering in the hospital every week, and when he was eighteen years old, he obtained a professional nursing license, hoping to help more people within his ability. In the past eight months, in addition to filming in the "Pacific War", he has continued to volunteer in a nearby hospital in Australia.

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

The little girl just now, named Annie-Seliman, was living at Mount Sinai Hospital during the filming of Lan Li. Lan Li once asked the doctor Anne's condition, and the other party explained a lot of medical terms, even though Lan Li later looked through the professional medical skills, but still had a limited understanding, only knew that Anne had a problem with the metabolic system, and it was difficult for her to complete this basic function through her own body functions, not only defecation, but also sweating.

If, for a period of time, she is still unable to complete voluntary excretion, then the only way to do so is through medical means. When Lan Li returned to New York, she once saw Anne undergo treatment, and her thin body lay helplessly on the hospital bed, with tubes all over her body, lying quietly for three days, unable to do anything, not even to speak. The long process was so torturous that onlookers couldn't bear to look at it, let alone Anne herself, who was being treated.

"Lan Li, Lan Li, Lan Li!" There was a small train-like whistling sound behind him, and before Lan Li turned around, a little guy pounced on Lan Li's back, "Plan, plane, fly!"

Lan Li held the little guy's buttocks with both hands, stood up and spun in circles quickly, and then sprinted forward with a puff of smoke, and the little guy on his back cheered happily, "Fly, I'm flying! Anita, Anita, look, I'm flying!"

Anita Tunisia, the head nurse in the nurses' station, smiled dumbly, sat up slightly straight, and cried out with a smile, "Lan Li, don't be too long, don't be too intense, Alex's heart can't stand it!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Lan Li shouted, and then ran with Alex on his back, and asked, "Sir, please indicate the destination!"

Alex-Reich lifted his upper body in high spirits, used all the strength in his body, and shouted, "Normandy!"

I don't know where this little guy heard Normandy, but Lan Li didn't have time to snicker, because Alex's voice was so loud that it alarmed the entire floor, and many people ran out - this is not good, disturbing the rest of the patients is definitely a move that Qianfu pointed to, so Lan Li grabbed Alex's calf with both hands, pushed it up, first fell on his shoulder, and then grabbed his waist with both hands and lifted it hard, crossed the top of his head, and instantly hugged the little guy in his arms," Sir, the enemy is all awakened, we must flee!"

Alex giggled from his arms, and Lan Li led him to the family rest area at the end of the hallway, and then curled up in a chair like a soldier looking for cover.

Alex covered his mouth with his hands, but he still laughed profusely, clearly happy. There was a commotion in the hallway, the nurses were gritting their teeth and talking, some parents also came out, and some new parents did not understand the situation and thought what was happening, so the other parents explained the situation with a smile.

"Alex-Ricky!" a nurse stood at the end of the bench with her hands on her back, "You haven't finished your noon medicine yet, and you sneaked out!" What do you think Lan Li will do with you?"

Lan Li's eyes widened, looking at the naughty little guy, and before Lan Li could speak, the little guy hurriedly admitted his mistake, "I'm going to eat, I'm going to eat now!" Lan Li, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. The big watery eyes looked at Lan Li pitifully, like a puppy.

Lan Li wrinkled his nose and rubbed Alex's hair, "Hurry up and get your medicine, and then come to Heather's hospital room, I'll make a kite for you, and I'll fly it in the afternoon!"

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

Hearing this, Alex jumped out of Lan Li's arms in a flash, didn't wait for the nurse at all, and ran out as soon as he slipped away, "Hurry up, hurry up, I want to take medicine! I want to take medicine!" The nurse followed helplessly and chased after him, "Alex, slow down, slow down." ā€

Alex, 10 years old, spent two years at Mount Sinai Hospital due to congenital heart disease. In fact, his condition can be recuperated at home, as long as there is no strenuous exercise, daily life will not be greatly affected, but his parents are very busy, not at home for 350 days a year, and hire a private caregiver at home, but Alex turned the world upside down, so they simply left the little one in the hospital - at least there are friends here.

Got up again, wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and then strode forward, greeting the parents of the children familiarly along the way, and finally stopped at the door of the "314" ward, the noise just now obviously did not disturb the peace here, Lan Li knocked on the trick, reminded him, and then directly pushed open the door of the room, and greeted with a smile, "Good afternoon, Heather, the sun is really good today, isn't it?"
