to~go~home.” I hummed the song... Floating on the sea, it was so quiet, the explosion had stopped, and I could only feel the breeze blowing slightly around the dark surroundings, if it wasn't for Natasha pushing me away from the vicinity of the sinking of the ship, I might have been swept away by the whirlpool created when the ship sank "Natasha...". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for the sound of the helicopter propellers turning in the air, it was the rescue force coming, the search light was shining directly on me, they found me, and after a sudden whiteness, I fell unconscious again, maybe because I realized that I could be saved... The body and mind are relaxed.

I don't know how long I was in a coma, but when I woke up, I was already lying in a hospital bed with bandages on my abdomen and legs, and an oxygen mask on my face.

"Are you awake?".

I'm really lucky, every time I wake up, I can hear a woman's voice for the first time, this familiar and warm feeling "Irene, have you been with me all the time".

Erin smiled and walked over to me, pulled over the stool and sat down, "What do you think?"

"Hehe~" For the two of us, there are some words that don't need to be answered in words, looking into each other's eyes is enough to let the other understand their thoughts, "How long have I been in a coma?".

"A week" Erin clenched her fists and extended her thumb and forefinger in a figure-7 gesture.

"So I've been asleep for so long," I myself couldn't help but be amazed.

Erin smiled, "You do have a good night's sleep... like a dead pig".

"Hehe~".

We looked at each other for a moment of silence, and then I whispered "Irene, I'm sorry, beautiful her... Meihui", but he has never been able to say it completely.

Erin closed her eyes, lowered her head, and said with a depressed face, "Don't say it, I already know the general situation."

She didn't cry and seemed unusually calm, and I knew why "have you been suppressing your emotions all the time?".

"No!" Erin immediately denied, but she didn't lift her head.

"You can't fool me, I didn't know you for the first day" I know Erin's character too well "Cry if you want to, it's just me and you here,".

Erin didn't speak, tears silently welling up in her already red eyes.

Looking at the crying Irene, my heart ached again and again, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't protect Mie... I'm sorry".

"Excuse me?" Erin looked up slowly... Look at me... Touching my face with his hand, "You didn't do anything wrong, wrong... It's them (gangsters) ... It's this world, and if you really want to say sorry, go and tell Phyllis yourself when you're ready."

I was silent, although my body has not recovered yet, but it is only a matter of time, when my body is better, how will I face Phyllis "When I left the old town before, I used to say this to her (Phyllis): I swear to you (Phyllis) with my life, I will protect Meihui, cherish her well, and will not let her be hurt and wronged."

"Hmm... I knew that I (Irene) was there with you at the time, and I heard you very clearly".

"Then you should understand that the three words sorry can't heal the wounds in Phyllis's heart at all" My tears also shed tears "I didn't do what I promised her, but I survived alone, how do you say I should face her".

"Naruto... It's time to face it, it's always going to be faced," Erin held her hand with me, "Don't think about anything now... Recuperate with peace of mind, and wait until you're well."

"Hmm...".

... Half a month later

Although the wound has not fully healed, I can get out of bed and move freely, and during this time in the hospital, Hannah and Phyllis did not visit me once... I can probably guess why Hannah didn't come, but as for Phyllis... I never thought about why, or even dared to think about it.

"Knock~knock" Erin opened the door of the ward, "Let's go, the discharge procedures have been completed."

"Hmm...", who was already back in my casual clothes, followed Erin... got in the car and left the hospital together... I didn't go back to the army, but asked Erin to take me to church... When I saw Hannah, Erin didn't ask much, because she knew that I would ask to see Hannah, so we drove all the way to the church campus.

After getting out of the car, we pushed open the door of the church, and what caught our eyes was a huge stone sculpture of the cross of Jesus, under which a nun was kneeling... Seems to be praying.

"Go over by yourself, I'll be waiting for you at the door," Erin reached out and closed the door.

I slowly walked behind the nun, "Hannah...".

Hannah stood up, glanced at me, then turned and sat down on the bench next to her, "You can sit too."

I sat down as she said, "Are you praying for us?".

Hannah doesn't deny "what else do you think?"

"Heh~ That's really thankful...".

"Alright, seriously," Hannah became serious, "you come to me... Do you have something to say to me?"

I looked at Jesus on the cross and sighed deeply, "Back then... When I first came to this island, when I stepped through the gate of the park, you said to me: "When you enter this door, you (Mingcheng) will live a daily life of praying to God... Forgive yourself for the day, if you (Narukoto) are worried that you will regret it in the future, it's too late to leave now."

"You're trying to tell me... You regret it now... Really?" Hannah asked me, "What do you regret?"

"I should have left... I shouldn't have met Mie... Acquaintance... Socialize, I shouldn't join the hounds" My tears followed the words I said... Flowed out "Because I'm not strong enough... Because I was too weak, I couldn't protect them."

"You're not really a tough guy, but ah! Their death is not caused by your weakness".

I turned my head and looked at Hannah, "Are you comforting me?"

"No... I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm just telling you the truth."

"Facts? I look at my most beloved woman and my best friend... Die in front of yourself (Narukoto) while you are indifferent ... Nothing can be done, what pains me the most... What pains me the most is...".

"What pains you the most is... You're the only one who didn't die, you survived alone," Hannah took over my words, "Do you think you're not only going to suffer from longing now... Still tormented by guilt... Is it?".

I didn't speak again, Hannah had already said everything I wanted to say, and I didn't know what to say anymore.

Hannah saw that I was speechless, so she stood up and prepared to walk to the door, "Mingcheng, not only can you not protect them, but you also carry the lives of the four of them, you should know how hard their deaths are for you, but... These lives that you will carry in the future... It's harder than the blow you've received, because it's your responsibility, and you're going to learn to stand up for your beliefs, and then to hold on to the hopes they put in you, so that you can live... but also to protect important people".

After Hannah finished speaking, she opened the door and left, and I sat quietly... Thinking about what she had said, Erin stood in the doorway, looked at me motionless and asked, "Are you alright?"

I replied to her (Irene) "It's okay" and got up and left the church... Get in the car and drive with her to the fluorescent bar, and Erin doesn't say anything along the way... He didn't ask me out of curiosity what Hannah had said, just silently drove the car on the sidelines.

Because it was daytime, the bar had not yet opened, and the front door was closed, so after getting off the bus, I walked to the back door of the bar and gently knocked on "Knock~Knock".

"It's coming... Wait a minute" A woman's voice came from behind the door, the door opened, it was a waitress, her first reaction when she saw me was surprise... Then he turned back to the bar and shouted, "Phyllis, it's osiris...".

"Call him in," Phyllis's voice came from not far from the bar.

I turned around and looked at Erin, who was still sitting in the car, "Are you going in with you?" Erin just shook her head, and I walked in alone, I could understand Erin's thoughts, and I had to face this matter by myself.

Phyllis sat at a bar booth that hadn't opened yet, dressed still sexy with a cigarette in her hand... Expressionlessly, he sobbed, "I thought you wouldn't dare to come to see me."

"Sister Phyllis, I'm sorry... I failed to protect Mie" I bent down and bowed deeply to her in a 90-degree bow, "I failed my promise to you... I'm sorry, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the honor" I took out the gun and handed it to Phyllis with both hands.

"Naruto Mako~ Raise your head" Phyllis didn't take the gun over, "I've heard about it from Hannah, I don't blame you for this."

"But..."Everyone said they didn't blame me, which made me even more uncomfortable, and I wished that someone would stand up and scold me a few words to make me feel more comfortable.

Phyllis snatched the words over, "Narukoto... I ask you one thing... You answer me honestly, did Mie smile when she died?".

I recalled the expression on Mie's face at that time, and cried out quietly, "~ Hmm... She smiled, a smile as beautiful as an angel."

"yes," Phyllis smiled and took a deep breath... Tears also flowed from her eyes, "Narutokoto... You were sad when Mie died, but she (Mie) was happy, she didn't have any regrets, her wish has come true."

"Sister Phyllis...".

"Narukoto, you know what? Mie was the day she decided to date you... And I said this sentence: from today onwards... My (Mie's) heart... My people... All my things belong to him (Naruto), including my own life, and if he wants me to die, I will not hesitate in the slightest, although I am not born for him, but I am willing to live for him... Die for him".

After listening to Phyllis's words, my whole body immediately fell to my knees on the floor and cried bitterly, "Mihui... Mie...".

Phyllis looked at me crying bitterly and rushed over and hugged me into her arms, "Okay... Naruto... Don't be sad and sad, you will always be a lover of Meihui... You will always be my good brother".
