Derek's explanation continued, but the follow-up words had gradually evolved into echoes, and finally disappeared completely, until Derek turned to leave, and Cody and Caleb and others were hugging and celebrating each other, and the faces that were crying with joy hugged Lan Li one after another, expressing their joy and happiness with all their movements.

Lan Li still responded politely and decently, but he was still ignorant and understood that there was no sense of reality.

Paul, survived?

"Lan Li?" A timid voice came from his ear, interrupting Lan Li's thoughts, and the floating soul returned to his brain from a hundred and eight thousand miles away, he turned his head, and then saw Mei Duo.

Paul's family was celebrating, but Meadow didn't join in, but stared at Lan Li with round eyes and pure and stubborn eyes, "Dad, it's okay...... "She needs an answer, not the doctor's, but Lan Li's, and it seems that she is willing to believe it only if Lan Li admits it herself.

Looking at Mei Duo's eyes that resembled Paul, the chaos and confusion in Lan Li's mind quietly disappeared, he nodded slightly, tried to show a shallow smile, and gave an affirmative answer, as if sensing Mei Duo's uncertainty, Lan Li said again, "Yes, Paul is fine." ”

Mei Duo covered her face with her hands, and cried out with a "wow", unable to say a word, just crying bitterly. All the grievances and fears, all the worries and uneasiness, all were released at this moment, and she just stood in place and released all her emotions.

The cry was heart-wrenching.

Lan Li took Mei Duo into his arms with both hands, gently patted Mei Duo's back, and whispered, "Paul is fine." ”

It seems to be convincing Meadow, and it seems to be convincing itself.

Meadow still couldn't say a word, and cried so darkly, as if she had finally found it after losing the whole world. That kind of heart-rending resurrection, crying extremely aggrieved, she buried her cheeks in Lan Li's chest, wantonly releasing grief and pain.

The cry fell on Lan Li's ears, and his eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.

Paul, survived.

Paul, survived!

God, oh God!

"Paul, it's okay. Lan Li repeated softly, his voice becoming dry as he spoke, but he knew that he couldn't fall, and Mei Duo still needed him. So, choking his voice, he straightened his waist vigorously, forcibly gathered all his emotions, and supported the weight of the night with his shoulders, his hot forehead made his brain cloudy, but he always remembered: he could not fall down yet.

Mei Duo cried so much that almost the whole person lost her strength, and finally fell asleep in Lan Li's arms in a groggy state.

Lan Li stood in place, his muscles stiff, even a little numb, almost unable to move, or with the help of Meryl and Caleb, he carried Mei Duo to the side to rest on the sofa, but Lan Li still stood in place because his muscles were a little numb, and he couldn't move for a short time, he waved his hand at Cody, signaling that he was fine, but he needed to slow down.

At this time, the consciousness in his mind finally slowly woke up, and all the memories began to surge in his mind, until Derek confirmed Paul's survival, and the trembling feeling of fear began to invade wave after wave, Lan Li just felt afraid for a while, his knees were a little weak, and he almost couldn't support his body, and the pain in the muscles of his waist suddenly lifted the seal, surging like a tide, leaving no room for reaction at all, and he tried his best to maintain his standing posture, but found that he couldn't find the slightest strength。

Just when Lan Li was almost unsteady, a soft and tenacious force came from his side, supporting his body, and a faint warmth came from the palm of his fingers, which made the slightly trembling muscles slowly calm down, and when he turned his head, he saw Rooney's petite and resolute body, standing firmly behind him, with a bright light in his eyes.

The smile on Rooney's lips rose slightly, and she whispered, "Paul survived." Her voice was also slightly trembling, slightly nasal, but her smile was extremely firm and bright, as if it was giving Lan Li more confidence and strength.

Lan Li opened his mouth and tried to say something, but found that the voice was choked in his throat like this, and he could only nod slightly in embarrassment, expressing his approval, his nose was slightly sour, and the coffee he had just drunk was all bitter, spreading from the tip of his tongue all the way to his stomach, and all the sourness and pain became clear again.

Paul survived.

With a long, long exhale, Lan Li's tense shoulders finally relaxed, and his tall and loose figure slowly relaxed, turning around, Lan Li opened his arms and hugged Rooney into his arms, the weight of his body fell slightly, and then whispered in Rooney's ear, "I'm going to be unable to stand, help me sit down, okay?"

Rooney only felt a warmth in her eyes, but she didn't have time to take care of her emotions, she quickly raised her right hand, supported Lan Li's body, and forced herself to come to the side calmly, helping Lan Li'an to sit down.

Lan Li held on to the last bit of strength, not letting himself completely lose control, and after slowly sitting down, the sharp and turbulent pain hit him like a downpour, he couldn't even tell whether it was his waist, thighs or something else, he only felt that his whole head was confused, and he only felt that he was in the middle of the stormy waves like this, and there was nowhere to escape.

At this time, Lan Li was like a hot stove, and Rooney was just flustered, but she still took a deep breath, calmed down, and turned her head to look in the direction where Andy and Roy were, "Andy, Lan Li seems to have a fever, you can find a wheelchair to come over, and we will take him to the emergency room." ”

Andy and Roy quickly exchanged glances and hurriedly stepped forward.

In a trance, Lan Li could feel the chaos around him, and he tried to speak, saying that he was fine, just a little tired and a little sleepy, and that he could recover after a good night's rest, but all the words gurgled in his throat, muttering words that he couldn't hear clearly, and then fell into darkness.

……

Buzz.

Woooooooo

There was a constant murmur of noise above the eardrums, like the echo of a valley, surging in the space in a distant and empty space, as if thousands of flies were swarming at the same time, making people try to escape, only to find that the flies were everywhere, and they had nowhere to escape.

The eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and they couldn't lift them heavily, and there was a faint pain in the back of the head, and the nerve in the spine seemed to be pulling one by one, making the muscles of the whole body tense, and there was a faint restlessness, and the weak limbs couldn't feel much strength.

Finally, the eyes finally opened, and the bright white light was projected through the gap in the eyes, which was a little dazzling, but the slight stinging pain made the head sober up a little, but the eyes were opened smoothly, and then the vision became clear little by little.

In her eyes, Lan Li saw Rooney lying next to the hospital bed, with short brown chestnut hair hanging down scattered, and the stubborn and cold face lines loomed, revealing a resolute temperament, like an orchid breaking through the ground in an empty valley, seemingly delicate but containing wildness.

Lan Li raised her right hand, gently tracing the outline of Rooney's eyebrows with her fingertips, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lightly outline a shallow smile, her eyes became gentle, but she didn't want to, such a small action still woke up Rooney, she opened her eyes suddenly, sat up straight, looked around vigilantly, and finally met Lan Li's gaze.

Rooney rubbed her eyes, her voice full of surprise, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm. Lan Li replied softly, only to find that his voice was very hoarse, and he was seriously dehydrated due to fever, so he raised his eyes and searched around.

Rooney reacted immediately, took the kettle next to the hospital bed, and put it on Lan Li's mouth, which made Lan Li laugh dumbly, but the corners of his mouth were still slightly heavy, and he couldn't fully raise it, "I'm just a little cold, not so serious that I can't do these things." ”

"Huh. Ha. Rooney laughed dryly, directly ignoring Lan Li's protest, handed the kettle over with both hands, and then put the straw in Lan Li's mouth, carefully watching Lan Li swallow a few mouthfuls of water, then took the kettle away, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still need it?"

Lan Li shook his head, and instead asked another important question, "What about Paul?

Rooney reluctantly put the kettle back on the bedside table, "Why don't you worry about yourself first, if your condition is not good, how can you take care of Paul?" Seeing Lan Li trying to defend herself, Rooney widened her eyes and expressed her determination with her eyes.

Lan Li did not protest.

Rooney continued, "What the hell is going on with your body, why don't we all know you're hurt, and even Nathan doesn't notice it?"

Things happened too fast and didn't stand a chance. What's more, Lan Li didn't think it was a big deal, but he just hung Weiya for a few hours. "What, did the doctor say the problem was serious?"

Rooney couldn't help but speak, Lan Li can always grasp the key Indeed, the doctor said that the problem is not serious, the main thing is bruising, you only need to relax the muscles through massage, take a hot bath, this is no problem;

As for coma, low-grade fever is still the main cause. There was a serious overdraft from physical strength to energy, and I didn't have a good rest all afternoon and all night, and after the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, I fell into a coma.

Rooney's silence fell on Lan Li's eyes, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Lan Li didn't chase after him, and then added, "How is Paul?"

Rooney shook her head helplessly, but she still couldn't resist Lan Li, "Paul is still unconscious. Ryan just came over, just visited Paul, and came to visit you. The doctor said that Paul's surgery was a success, but the brain surgery required a longer recovery time, and for the next period of time, as long as Paul came to his senses, everything would be fine. ”

"Hmm. Lan Li bowed his head slightly, raised his head and looked at the surroundings, he was just sleeping at this time, and he couldn't see the appearance of the drip rack next to him, which meant that his treatment had also ended, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Twelve hours. Rooney replied, "It's only three o'clock in the afternoon." Paul is only half a day after the operation, and he needs more time to recover. Rest assured, Paul has made it through the toughest hurdle. ”

Lan Li still has no sense of reality.

From the escape in Iceland, to the recurrence of yesterday's nightmare, to today's escape from death, everything happened too quickly and so violently, he thought everything was calculated, but after all, he was helpless, so what now?

"I'm hungry. Did the doctor say, do I need to pay attention to anything in terms of diet?" Lan Li regained his composure.

Rooney still held a skeptical gaze, and in the past twenty-four hours, Lan Li's behavior was really too abnormal, and she had to express doubts.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth tugged at a shallow smile, "I need to eat a little before I go to the rest room for the seriously ill to visit Paul." I know that only family members will be able to go in now, and I just want to check outside...... To make sure Paul was still lying safe, I needed to make sure with both eyes. ”

Flat words, no particular ups and downs and emotions, but Rooney's eyes couldn't help but sour again, she could feel the fear and vulnerability hidden behind the words, which reminded her of when Heather died.

Rooney nodded emphatically, "The doctor said that you need to eat some light food, Nathan has prepared it in advance, I'll let him take it to the microwave to heat it up now." ”

With that, Rooney stood up and prepared to leave, but she didn't want to, and her right hand was grasped.

It's Lan Li's right hand.

Lan Li's wide palm wrapped around Rooney's right hand, and the palm of both hands regained its temperature, faint warmth, he just gently outlined it in her palm, and the numb touch fell softly, making the palm itch slightly, and then drew a gentle trajectory along the palm, slowly detaching from the fingertips.

She couldn't help but hook her fingertips slightly, and the fingers of the two people were entangled together, pinching slightly, leaving the temperature of each other's palms before letting go.

No words are worth a thousand words.
