Chapter 006: Farewell to Lovers
Yang Fan slowly woke up from his coma, opened his eyes slightly, and found himself lying in a neat room, the picture in front of him was so familiar, just like when he was first brought to the base five years ago.
He knew that this was the ward of the T3 Logistics Medical Center, and he couldn't help but start fantasizing that this was the first time he had arrived at the base five years ago. He hadn't been to training yet, he hadn't known his brothers, and he hadn't known Anna. In that case, Anna should still be alive, she should be alive.
Then, a voice came from the bottom of my heart: Yang Fan, don't stay here! Don't opt-in to T3, let alone join Group B. You can't get to know Anna either, because in that case, she'll leave you forever in five years.
Yang Fanduo hoped that it was all a dream, but the sharp pain in his chest pulled him back to the harsh reality. Yang Fan couldn't help but cough lightly twice, and the movement of his body affected the injury in his chest again, and after coughing lightly twice, he completely woke up.
"Are you awake......" Isabel's voice came from Yang Fan's ears, she had been staying by Yang Fan's side, and stood up after seeing Yang Fan wake up, looking at her with a concerned face.
Yang Fan turned his head slightly, he saw Isabel's red and swollen eyes, and also understood that it was just his own fantasy just now, and all this was true. What should have happened happened or happened, and he simply couldn't change the past.
Tears flowed down the corners of Yang Fan's eyes unconsciously, but his eyes were still staring blankly at the ceiling, and after a while, he asked softly, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”
"When you got back to base, you've been in a coma for a whole day and a night."
Isabel took out a photo and a throwing knife, handed it to Yang Fan, and said in a choked voice: "Yang Fan, this is the photo that Younas found on Anna. There was also a throwing knife found from the scene, which was supposed to be left on the corpse of the Night Demon! ”
Yang Fan raised his right hand with great difficulty, and found that he was still holding the purple robin pendant in his hand, and due to excessive force, a mark of the same shape was printed on the palm of his hand.
He quickly closed his right hand again, put it on his chest and beat it continuously, not wanting Anna's only mark to disappear.
"Yang Fan, don't ...... like this" Isabel couldn't cry at this time, she pressed Yang Fan's right hand hard, so as not to cause him to be injured in the chest again due to excitement.
Yang Fan stopped his movements and took the photo with his other hand, which was exactly the "heart" taken by the unknown photographer when he and Anna were in Lover's Mountain.
He didn't expect Anna to carry this photo with him all the time. All kinds of past flashes in Yang Fan's mind, Yang Fan put the photo on his chest again, and tears quickly wet the pillow.
Yang Fan suddenly turned his head to look at Isabel, grabbed her hand, and asked, "What about Anna?" Where's Anna? ”
Isabel wiped her tears, stopped sobbing and whispered: "This morning, the people in Group B and Irina have already loosened her back to Ukraine. Mr. John and Mr. Daniel followed.
They have informed Anna's mother and brother that a memorial service and funeral will be held tomorrow! ”
"What? Shipped back to Ukraine! Why didn't you wake me up? ”
Yang Fan lifted the quilt abruptly, sat up, and felt a sharp pain in his chest again. He propped his right hand on the bed, his left hand on his chest, and he was constantly panting, and every rapid breath was accompanied by a labor pain in his chest, and sweat immediately came out of his forehead.
Isabel hurriedly helped Yang Fan and said eagerly: "Yang Fan, don't be excited!" You're not lightly injured, and everyone is worried that you won't be able to bear it! That's why ......"
"Yang Fan, you're awake!" Younas pushed the door in, ran to Yang Fan's bedside and helped him.
Yang Fan slowly adjusted his breathing, calmed down a little, and said to the two, "I...... How could I not see Anna for the last time! Even if you climb, I will also climb to Ukraine! ”
With that, Yang Fan forcibly got out of bed.
Isabel was about to stop her, but Younas waved at her and said, "All right, Isabel." Now that Yang Fan is awake, he will definitely go to Ukraine. Evan has already arranged the plane in advance, so let's go with him. ”
"That'...... All right. ”
Younas and Isabel helped Yang Fan change into a black suit that had already been prepared, and helped Yang Fan out of the logistics medical center.
As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Paul and Jenna standing there, both with tears in their eyes.
Younas frowned and asked, "Paul, Jenna, why are you here?" ”
Jenna choked up and said, "Instructor Jack told us, Sister Anna...... Already ......"
Jenna didn't finish her sentence and began to cry.
Paul wiped tears from his face and continued, "Instructor Jack gave us a vacation, and we are going to Ukraine with you. Brother Younas, take us with you. We also want to avenge Sister Anna! ”
Jenna suddenly rushed into Yang Fan's arms and cried: "Brother Yang Fan, you must avenge Sister Anna!" ”
After speaking, she cried even louder, and her tears quickly soaked Yang Fan's clothes. Yang Fan stroked Jenna's hair and said word by word: "Yes!" I will! All of them, don't even think about escaping! ”
"Well, I'll go with you too."
Isabel said, "All right, Jenna and Paul, then you ...... Come with us to Ukraine to see Sister Anna for the last time. ”
Younas and Isabel helped Yang Fan to lie on the independent seat near the window of the plane, and Isabel stayed by Yang Fan's side. Younas sat next to Paul and Jenna in the booth next to him.
Yang Fan looked at the sea of clouds outside the window, and his mind was full of Anna's shadow. He didn't restrain himself from thinking about it, because Anna's memory was already deeply imprinted in the deepest part of his soul, and it couldn't be let go of it no matter what. At this moment, he also needs that heart-wrenching feeling.
Isabel kept crying when she saw Yang Fan wake up, knowing that he had been in extreme sadness, worried that Yang Fan would really collapse like this, so she closed the visor for Yang Fan and said to him: "Yang Fan, it will take a long time to fly to Ukraine." As...... I'll give you a tranquilizer, you need to rest now.
Otherwise, before you get to Ukraine, you can't hold on. I think...... Anna doesn't want to see you like that, either. ”
Yang Fan turned his head to look at Isabel, who was also crying, and nodded slightly.
Isabel injected Yang Fan with a tranquilizer, and after a while, Yang Fan fell asleep groggily.
When he woke up again, he was already on his way to church. Evan and Bruce personally drove to pick them up, and Younas, Paul, and Jenna were in Bruce's car.
Evan saw Yang Fan wake up from the rearview mirror, and said softly, "Boss, you're awake." ”
Yang Fan nodded, Isabel took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Yang Fan, Yang Fan took the water and took a sip, and the water was still faintly painful when it flowed through his chest.
He didn't know why Irina's shot hurt him so much. Perhaps, it wasn't the bullet at all.
Evan's eyes were also red, he looked at Yang Fan from the rearview mirror, and said softly, "Boss, the memorial service is already halfway through." There were very few people coming, and Anna's mother didn't want to alarm too many people, so we complied.
Father and Mr. Daniel had left beforehand, and we should be able to catch up. Boss, Irina's shot was actually ......"
"I understand, you don't have to say it. That was my agreement with Irina, I don't blame her, it's my fault for not protecting Anna.
Actually, I wish she had shot me in the head. That way, I wouldn't have to live alone in this lonely world. Yang Fan looked out the window in a daze and said.
Evan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yang Fan and said, "Boss, you don't want to be like this!" I know Anna's departure is a blow to you, but boss, we still have a lot of work to do! At the very least, we want to avenge Anna! ”
"Yes, revenge!" Yang Fan clenched his hands, the water bottle was pinched flat by him, and the water splashed out.
Isabel hurriedly took the water bottle in Yang Fan's hand, twisted the lid and put it aside, and took out a tissue to help Yang Fan dry the water on his body.
Isabel hesitated for a moment, and pulled out the photo and the robin pendant that had been re-dressed.
She hung the pendant around Yang Fan's neck and said, "Yang Fan, don't do this." I don't know what happened, but I know Anna must want you to live well. If she sees you like this, she won't be happy even in heaven. ”
Yang Fan held the pendant he gave to Anna in his hand, and suddenly remembered what Anna said before she died: "You must take it with you, no matter where you go." ”
He tucked the pendant into his clothes, took the photo called "Heart" from Isabelle's hand, kissed it gently, and put it in the inner pocket of the suit.
He made up his mind to take them with him wherever he went, just as he did with Anna. He wants Anna to accompany him for the rest of his life.
Isabel took out a tissue and wiped the tears on Yang Fan's face.
Yang Fan had never imagined that he would be so vulnerable before, and he never believed in the passages described in those literary works that sought death and life after the departure of his loved ones. But when he really encountered such a thing, he felt that those descriptions and words were so pale.
Anna's memorial service was held at St. Sophia's Cathedral in Kiev. When Yang Fan arrived, the memorial service was nearing the end.
Yang Fan walked into the church, where Irina, Rachel, and Group B stood in a row on the left, Anna's mother Mira, brother Mark, and other relatives stood on the right, with a coffin in front of a passage in the middle.
Yang Fan stepped forward, approaching the woman he loved the most step by step. The people in Group B silently lowered their heads, Irina couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, she didn't let herself cry, and turned to leave the church.
Yang Fan came to Anna's coffin, and his lover was lying quietly in the coffin at the moment. Yang Fan desperately suppressed his thoughts of rushing forward, he couldn't feel tears anymore, he only felt a blur in front of him.
He seemed to look at Anna in front of him, as if he was lying in a fairyland. She is still so beautiful, surrounded by a sea of flowers and clouds.
This may be what heaven looks like.
Isabel stabbed Yang Fan and said softly, "Salute." ”
Yang Fan wiped the tears that were about to flow from the corners of his eyes and bowed deeply. He didn't want to look up, because he didn't want to see the priest close the coffin, which would mean that he would never see his lover again.
Younas and Isabel helped Yang Fan up, signaling that he should pay tribute to Anna's family.
Yang Fan reluctantly turned away from the coffin and walked towards Mira and Mark.
When the priest covered the coffin, it also closed Yang Fan's heart at the same time.
Coming to Mira and Mark, Yang Fan lowered his head, he didn't know what to say, this was a low whisper: "I'm sorry ......"
Mira's face was full of tears, first said a few words in Ukrainian, then hugged Yang Fan, and said in English: "Child, it's not your fault, I know that Anna loves you." For Anna's sake, you have to live well......"
Yang Fan nodded, and Mira let go of Yang Fan and bowed to Younas and Isabel.
Mark also stepped forward to hug Yang Fan and said softly, "Yang Fan." I thought you could give my sister hope, but I didn't expect her to let go of what happened back then. She untied the knots, but left you alone to face these ...... Yang Fan, you have worked very hard, I want to thank you for my sister. ”
Yang Fan couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Mark and cried, he tried to control himself not to cry.
After a while, Mark said to Yang Fan again: "Okay, Yang Fan, let's send my sister on the last journey together......"
The memorial service is over. Yang Fan, Mark, Evan, Parker, and Anna's family have to carry Anna's coffin to the car together, and then go to the cemetery together for burial.
Yang Fan and Mark stood at the front of the coffin, followed by Evan, Parker, and the others, and Yang Fan held up the coffin vigorously, which would be his last "contact" with Anna.
Several people walked outside the church step by step, Yang Fan left tears in every step he took, he never thought that one day he would bury his lover in person.
If he knew that one day he would rather give up everything and fly away with Anna, whether she wanted it or not. Or, don't get to know Anna at all, so that Anna might be able to live her life in peace. Maybe this kind of life can't talk about happiness, but at least it's alive, and you can at least see your lover.
Yang Fan remembered what Anna once told him: "Her life was originally gray, but because of Yang Fan, she had hope, and her life had color." ”
Yang Fan didn't know if his life had really become colorful before he met Anna, he only knew that from now on, his life would no longer have any color.
The group arrived at the cemetery, where Anna's coffin was placed. The entourage began to sprinkle some flower petals into the tomb, Yang Fan stood in front of the tomb and quietly looked at Anna in the tomb, he didn't do anything, he didn't want to have nothing to do with Anna after doing this.
In Huaxia's saying, if there is something that a person can't let go of after death, her soul will stay.
Yang Fan really hoped that Anna's soul could come back to see him again, even if he needed to lose his yang life, he had no complaints.
Eventually, the tomb was filled in, and a cross was erected in front of the tomb and a bouquet of flowers was placed. Anna's relatives and friends began to leave one by one to say goodbye to Mira and Mark and leave the cemetery.
Yang Fan stood in front of the tombstone and looked at the portrait of Anna on the tombstone, that is his lover, his eternal lover.
Yang Fan really regrets that in the past five years, he and Anna have rarely been together except for tasks, and they have never done what other couples have done. So much so that now, his memories are full of bitterness related to tasks and hatred.
Yang Fan just stood in front of Anna's tombstone, motionless, constantly wiping his tears to prevent them from falling to the ground.
Until Mira and Mark came over, Mila said to Yang Fan: "Child, go back." Go live your life well. Remember, don't let Anna down......"
Yang Fan nodded slightly. Mira stepped forward and hugged Yang Fan, patted him on the back, then wiped her tears and turned to walk outside the cemetery.
Mark walked up to Yang Fan and whispered, "Yang Fan, I know what you're going to do next, and I won't stop you."
But please remember, don't let your sister die in vain. She loves you! I thought, you know what I'm talking about. ”
After speaking, Mark nodded to Yang Fan and led your head, turned around and quickly caught up with Mira, and left the cemetery with her.
Irina walked to Yang Fan's side, and the people in Group B, Rachel, and Isabel were all standing behind Yang Fan.
Irina choked up and said to Yang Fan: "Yang Fan, Mira is right. You can't fall yet! Since the boss let you survive, you have to continue even if it is difficult!
That shot was my promise to the boss before, and you owe it to me! Next, do you know what to do? ”
Yang Fan nodded, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "In this world, there are people who shine brightly when you are pursuing, but once you get them, they are just passers-by in your life.
And some people, when you have it, feel dull, once you lose it, the sky will fall apart, they are the real important people in your life!
Anna is gone. I regret that I didn't take her to the life she wanted while she was alive. I thought I was her hope, but now she's taking all my hope! ”
Everyone looked at Yang Fan, they knew that Yang Fan's heart was now shattered, and the blow to him from Anna's departure was by no means something anyone could experience.
After a while, Evan walked up to Yang Fan and said softly, "Boss, let's go...... No...... Disturb Anna's tranquility. ”
"Okay."
Yang Fan nodded, turned around, the expression on his face changed from lonely to cold, and then said, "Evan, Kevin, you two will go to Chinatown with me." The others will go back to the base first and wait for my news!
Parker, Daniel. Later in the day, I'll give you a copy of the stuff inside WTD, you know what to do! ”
"Don't worry, boss! I will definitely find out all the information about them in the shortest possible time! Parker said angrily.
Irina turned her head to look at Yang Fan and said, "Yang Fan, I know that you will definitely find a way to avenge the boss now, I want to go with you!" And don't try to stop me! ”
Yang Fan turned his head to look at Irina, and from her face, Yang Fan seemed to see Anna's shadow again. Irina is the closest person to Anna, and Yang Fan feels that as long as she is still by his side, he can always feel Anna's breath.
He nodded and said softly, "Okay." ”
The men of Group B returned to base on a private jet from T3.
Yang Fan, Irina, Kevin and Evan also took another flight to San Francisco.
