"After Sally was diagnosed with chronic leukemia at the age of ten, our family has been in a tense state, and in the past few years, it was still in the chronic phase, and the changes were very slow, but Sally had already known about her condition, and she always thought that she would not survive...... Sixteen years old......"

Speaking of this, Jessica's voice choked slightly, and although she quickly disguised the past, the uncontrollable tremor still revealed the fragility in her heart. Sally is sixteen years old this year.

I always thought that day would never come, but suddenly, without any warning, that possibility suddenly stuck to the skin like a leech, making people shudder. Before that, Sally had always been very sensible, she never complained, she didn't cry, she didn't lose her temper, she just accepted this qiē calmly. We know she just doesn't want to burden us......"

Jessica's voice paused slightly, although she didn't say anything, but Hugo knew that in fact, her daughter's sensibility made her parents even more sad. They should have taken care of their daughter and comforted her, but now her daughter is understanding them. In the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, the insignificance of human power has been magnified countless times.

"Then she heard you on the radio about your performance in Memphis, and life started to change drastically, especially after meeting you at amoeba music, I don't know what she talked to you about, that was the first time I heard your name." Jessica pointed to Hugo, amoeba music, the name that awakened the distant memory of glory to death, "But after that, for the first time, she had what she wanted to do, the first time she wanted to try something different, the first time she had a new purpose......"

Jessica's face couldn't help but have a smile of relief, she hoped that her daughter, who was only thirteen years old, would become cheerful and lively than her "mature and sensible" daughter, and she even hoped that her daughter could lose her temper and vent her inner dissatisfaction. Because Sally is just a child who hasn't grown up, she shouldn't be carrying so much heavy stuff.

After that, things became familiar, "Until the end of last year, Sally's condition suddenly worsened, and the doctor said that there was a lesion and entered an accelerated period...... After attending the premiere of 'Death Row Walk', Sally has been hospitalized. Jessica was piecing together the pieces of the puzzle that had been left behind, connecting the causes and consequences of everything, "Just after the Battle of the Century in September, Sally's condition worsened again, and she entered a period of acute crisis, and for a week, she couldn't get out of her hospital bed......"

Jessica's voice fell silent, and she still couldn't elaborate on that memory after all, "Before this tour began, Sally told me and her father that she had to go on this tour, that it was the first and perhaps last dream in her life that she wanted to really pursue. ”

Jessica's first reaction was strong opposition, she couldn't accept the fact that her daughter had little life left, and Sally's greatest wish was to complete the tour with a rock band, and it was all the way, all the bumps, all the way to the dust. She couldn't accept it, she thought it was ridiculous. She even started to be hysterical, arguing with Robin, arguing with Sally, arguing with the doctor, arguing with the nurses, refusing help from the rest of the family, just trying to resist all the odds in the world.

But in the end, Jessica was persuaded by Sally. Perhaps, this is the last leg of Sally's life, maybe not; But as Sally's mother, she could at least be sure that Sally could really do what she wanted, even if it was just once, and she hoped that Sally would have no regrets in her heart, let alone regrets - even if she knew it was impossible, she could at least try to see it.

Jessica's story is over, but those simple words can't describe the thrilling life at all. Many times, death, which I once thought was incomparably far away, is actually very close to me. Hugo had witnessed Zhang Xiaoye's death, experienced Pedro's near-death fear, and now felt the scythe of death hanging high above Sally's head.

Pedro felt all the band's eyes cast on him, but he didn't have the heart to respond, because the turmoil in his heart almost swallowed him.

He had been so close to death, his face-to-face snort was so clear, he could even feel the cold blade slowly cutting through his throat, and luckily, he finally escaped from the reaper's shackles. It's just that, recently on the way to the tour, poison. The temptation of the product. The confusion struck again, even more ferocious than any before, and this time everyone, including Hugo, did not persuade him again, but just let him make his own choice, and his reason was already about to be irresistible.

But now, he found that Sally was so stubborn in wanting to continue to live because she still had many dreams unfulfilled, her life had just begun, and she was even a child...... But he was so stupid that he chose to embrace death—the embrace that had terrified him so much, that he was almost about to throw himself into again.

Pedro felt so small as never before.

"Jessica, we ...... Uh, can we go in and see Sally? Neil spoke for the first time, but there was an unconcealed exhaustion and heaviness in his voice.

Jessica gave an apologetic expression, "Sorry, the hospital has a rule that only immediate family members can enter. Because now Sally is just out of danger......"

Before she could finish speaking, Neil waved his hand, "It's okay, we have to be Sally the main thing, we just came to see her, and we can't help." Believe me, I've not known Sally as long as you, but I know that she is a little girl who never gives up. ”

Jessica smiled shallowly, her eyes warmed up a little, and she turned her head wolfily and wiped the corners of her eyes. When I turned around, I saw the intensive care ward not far away, which was still silent at this time, and the large white color made the surroundings a little quiet.

Jessica bit her lip slightly, as if she had made up her mind, and turned her head to look, "But, I think, Sally will want to see you, and if you can talk to her, maybe she'll be happy." Of course, I know this is a bit excessive, please forgive me for being rude......"

Neil and the others all looked at Hugo, and they all knew that Sally's favorite was always Hugo, and Hugo had an extraordinary weight in her heart, not just an idol, but more like a faith. Hugo felt his shoulders weigh down, leaving him breathless.

With great power comes great responsibility. Hugo knew this, and he was going to take on this responsibility, otherwise he would not have chosen to work with the Grayson Gift Foundation to contribute to charity. "If it doesn't disturb Sally's rest, I'd like to have that opportunity. You know, tomorrow is the concert in Denver, and I always feel like something is missing without seeing Sally. ”

Hago's empathy dispels Jessica's concerns, which makes her chuckle, "As long as you don't hate trouble." ”

Looking back at his teammates, Hugo followed Jessica forward, and as he passed Pedro, he patted Hugo on the shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Remember to ask Sally if she prefers you or me." A joke made everyone chuckle, but the bitterness in the smile could hardly be concealed.

Entering the intensive care unit was not an easy task, and Hugo was able to enter after first disinfecting it, then putting on a protective suit, and disinfecting it again. Although he didn't wear a mask like on TV, such a cautious procedure still made Hugo's heart sink slowly, because he knew that it meant that Sally's condition was already very serious and very susceptible to infection, so multiple precautions must be taken.

Walking into the entire snow-white room, the faint blue light made the temperature seem to drop a little, and the smell of disinfectant under the wing of the nose always lingered, like a swirling smoke, firmly grasping Hugo's wrists and ankles, every step was so difficult.

Then Hugo saw Sally.

At this time, Sally was lying peacefully on the hospital bed, wearing a lake-blue hospital gown, except for the drip on her arm, Sally seemed to look no different, just asleep. was so calm that Hugo's pace couldn't help but slow down.

Jessica stepped forward and patted Sally on the shoulder. Sally slowly opened her eyes, and when her gaze adjusted to the light, she saw the person in front of her clearly, and chuckled, "Hey, Mom, how long have I been asleep?" ”

"A moment, just a moment." Jessica smiled softly, the beauty on her face was intoxicating, "Hey, I've brought a special visitor, you see who the hell is." ”

Sally followed the direction of her mother's finger and turned her head to look, and then Hugo saw Sally's pale cheeks, without any blood, even a little white, as if even the veins hidden under the skin could be seen clearly, and the lip flap without any color was like a dry desert - but at this time, the lip flap was gently outlined upward, and a bright smile appeared, like a sunrise that bloomed infinitely light through the shadows in the depths of a dense sea of clouds.

"Oh God, Hugo, I hope I won't be rude like this. I imagined that I would be able to leave that best image in your mind forever. Sally whispered, as if she had alarmed the dust.

The disinfectant potion beneath the wings of his nose began to boil, and the white color in all directions silenced the world, except for the pungent smell of the potion. Hugo lowered his chin slightly, and a smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, which amazed the time in an instant, "Hey, sweetheart, you look perfect, the only thing that is not perfect is that the air quality here is really bad." ”

One sentence made Sally stunned, and she actually laughed out loud.
