060 Meet again

Jennifer casually looked around the room and quickly noticed the mess left on the bed/bed next door, a dark blue backpack, a pair of scraps of paper, and some handicraft making tools, "Is today's event making anything?"

In order to maintain the development and flexibility of the muscles, Heather has to do a lot of rehabilitation every day, and even the movement of the fingers such as writing can be regarded as a kind of restoration. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Kites. Heather subconsciously replied, but then reacted, and answered the question he didn't ask, "No, today's restoration is not about making anything, it's about ......" Heather was a little irritable, and he didn't want to continue to talk about his own restoration, so he directly cut off the words, "Anyway, those things are not restoration, it's just ...... It's just ......" Heather couldn't find the right words to describe it, and it was a terrible feeling!

Jennifer could sense Heather's contradictions and entanglements, and she didn't push further, but half-jokingly condemned, "So, what about the kite? Could it be that this guy made something halfway and slipped away?"

Heather didn't speak, turned her head and looked deeply out the window, her obscure expression making it impossible to speculate.

Jennifer couldn't help but be a little surprised, walked to the window, and then saw the joyous crowd below-Alex was running down the slope with a kite in his hand, and a little girl was standing behind her pulling a kite shaft, and behind her a tall man squatted down, grasping the kite string with both hands, controlling the speed of the kite, and then a group of little ones were running aimlessly behind Alex.

Laughter, noise, and noise...... Flying wantonly under the early spring sun, the air is full of vitality breaking through the shackles of winter, and it is heartily vented, and there are many hospitalized children and parents standing bustling next to it, everyone seems to be watching the excitement, and their faces can't help but bring out a smile.

Inadvertently, the corners of Jennifer's mouth also rose slightly.

As a children's hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital is always hard to maintain optimism, and the laughter of the children is always boiling, but the heaviness in the heart has always lingered, and the young lives that have been tormented by illness are always unbearable. But today, the laughter that was shattered by the breeze brought the whole hospital to life.

Looking back, Jennifer saw that Heather quickly loosened her teeth, but the slowly recovering blood of her lips revealed what she had just done, and the stubbornness in her eyes could not hide the surging envy.

For the past few months, she has visited Heather whenever she can, perhaps because they are both girls and their age is close, and Heather does not reject her proximity, which makes the two of them good friends. But today, Heather's reaction was somewhat unusual.

After thinking about it, Jennifer considered her tone and asked, "Heather, is he the one who made the kite?" Although it was not specified, Jennifer's intuition told her that Heather knew who she was talking about, but Heather did not answer directly, but lowered her eyes and avoided the question, which was even more strange.

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration in her head, Jennifer tentatively said, "So, he's the guy?" The guy who had been missing for nearly eight months because of his work.

Jennifer heard the story of that guy with calluses in his ears, and every nurse here knew about him, and quite a few praised him, and then he left New York for work, and he also persistently called back to inquire about the situation. Even Heather was no exception, she was always happy to tell interesting stories about that guy, and it seemed that the memories were bright bright yellow.

But as time progressed, he never returned to New York, and Heather gradually began to lose her smile, almost thinking that he would never return, like the vanishing friends in her life. So, Heather closed the door again, refused to make new friends, and even rebuilt was not so active, as if ...... Gave up the same.

As soon as Jennifer's words came out, you could see Heather's brows furrowed, and the fluctuations in her eyes could barely be concealed, even if she didn't speak, Jennifer had already got the answer she wanted.

Jennifer couldn't help but turn her head to look out the window again, because the distance was too far away, she couldn't see the person's face, she could only vaguely see a palm-sized figure, but the bright smile that was enough to make the sun eclipse was clearly in her eyes, so that her eyes always involuntarily leaned towards him.

"Yes, that's him. Heather replied abruptly, breaking the silence in the room, "He's Lan Li." ā€

"The legendary Lan Li!" Jennifer quipped meaningfully, the code between the girls could not be more obvious, and Jennifer barely concealed the hint that Heather had a crush on Lan Li.

The teasing words made Heather grit her teeth, "I just like the music he recommends." After explaining, Heather felt that it was not enough, and added, "He is a very knowledgeable man, and seems to know everything, and I just enjoy talking to him." ā€

No one can know everything. But Jennifer didn't puncture Heather's fantasy bubble, every girl will have a crush, that object seems to be omnipotent, every move blooms like the sun, as long as he appears, it is the whole world. Every maiden is the same. Jennifer couldn't help but think back to her crush, which was ...... High school, or junior high school, memories have become so blurry.

"So, shouldn't you be happy that Lan Li is finally back?" asked Jennifer curiously.

Heather looked out the window quietly, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes, she envied those people who could run wildly and feel the solidity and heaviness of the earth with their feet, she envied those people who could laugh wildly and never feel the burning and clogging of their lungs, and she envied those people who could enjoy the sun like a normal person, talking, writing, walking, which were taken for granted by other patients, but little by little they were stripped from her body. She felt a sense of humiliation.

"But he's going to leave again, isn't he?" Heather whispered. After going through parting after parting, she was tired of it.

Jennifer sighed softly, "How do you know that deep down he's not worried about your departure?"

"How can I leave? I'm stuck here!forever!" Heather cried out excitedly, even sitting up, clenching his fists, his cheeks flushed, and expressing his anger with all his might.

Jennifer wanted to give her a hug, but she held back because she knew that in this moment, Heather didn't need the comfort and pity of others, "Heather, you know what I mean. "There is no cure for the disease of ALS, so at the end of the passage of time, it is very likely that Heather will be the first to leave, not Lan Li, or someone else," Lan Li chose to come back, he was more courageous than others, and you chose to escape. ā€

Jennifer's words were so cruel that they brutally cut Heather's fig leaf and made her feel ashamed, but she didn't stop there, but continued, "The doctor said, you can still walk now." Heather's condition progressed a little faster than expected, but it didn't get worse than she wanted, and now Heather can still walk, but she chose to give up.

Heather was poked in pain and speechless, she could only shout at Jennifer, "You don't know, you don't know anything, you're a healthy person, you just stand by and watch my jokes, your words are so lighthearted, but you don't know what it means to me!" Heather pointed in the direction of the door, "Get out, I ask you to get out!"

Jennifer opened her mouth to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and finally strode away.

She wanted to help Heather, she desperately wanted to help Heather, but she was still too young after all, she hadn't experienced so many storms and waves in her twenty-year-old life, and sometimes, even if she wanted to help, she was powerless. This sense of powerlessness and frustration made her hate herself a little.

However, she also knew that it was not about herself, that the patients who were suffering from the disease were the protagonists, and that she could not force the patients to accept her kindness because of her sense of powerlessness and eagerness, could she?

Leaving the ward, Jennifer's mind was a mess, and before she had time to look up, she saw a wall at the door, and her steps couldn't help but take half a step back, and when she raised her head, she saw Lan Li standing at the door, she couldn't help but be stunned - because, she recognized it at a glance, this was the man she met at the Los Angeles airport last time, and the kite in the other party's hand at this time implied that he was the Lan Li in Heather's mouth, the amount of information was a little too much, and for a while, Jennifer couldn't handle it at all.

Lan Li also saw Jennifer in front of him, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise slightly, he heard the tail of the quarrel just now, and he was still wondering who it was, but he didn't expect to see a completely unexpected figure. However, there was a more important task at this time, Lan Li smiled at Jennifer and nodded, without saying anything, pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

"Get out!" Heather didn't see who was coming, and just roared over. However, this time she didn't get a response, so she yelled again, "Get out!" and looked up, and then saw Lan Li.

Lan Li held a butterfly kite in his hand and stood in place with a smile, not showing any strangeness because of Heather's emotional ups and downs, just standing calmly and calmly in place.

Heather only felt that she had hit a wall of cotton, and that it was terrible to be unable to use her strength, so she turned her head angrily and refused to communicate with Lan Li in any way.

Lan Li took another step, walked to the window, carefully placed the kite on it, and then took two steps back to look at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled at Heather, "I'll go first, see you next week, Heather." As if nothing had happened, Lan Li walked to the side, packed up his things, and left the room.

The room was quiet again, but Heather's eyes couldn't help but fall on the kite, behind the transparent window was the blue sky, the kite was placed motionlessly there, it looked a little inconsistent but extremely harmonious, and her mind couldn't help but start to describe the appearance of this butterfly kite flying into the sky.
