Coming out of the hospital, Nero bought a beer at the convenience store, took a taxi to the edge of the Thames, and sat on the bank of the river in front of the crowd behind him and began to drink from the bottle.

Drinking is not Nero's bad habit, even Lin Xiqin did not organize Nero to drink, in Lin Xiqin's words, everyone has more than one interest, and diet will also count, but the most important thing is that Nero is not an alcoholic.

And Nero drank for the third or fourth time this year, and Nero himself didn't know very well, because he had never thought about such trivial matters, but he felt a little dry today, and just drinking water didn't seem to be able to suppress this sudden thirst.

There is a professional in the hospital to take care of Karen, so I don't have to worry, Robert has already left, but although Nero is a little wary of him, at least people have also said that they will take out the samples of the drugs at the end of this year, and with the samples, the finished product should not be too far away, so that Nero should have reduced his worries about Lin Xiqin a lot.

However, I don't know why, the depression in Nero's heart can't be solved at all, she seems to feel that things are far from being so simple, but he doesn't know where this feeling comes from, whether it's because of Lin Xiqin, or because of this mission, it's completely unknown.

"Damn, it's the first time I've been so embarrassed by something I don't know." After taking a big sip of beer, Nero swallowed it hard, he bought all Munich dark beer, this bitter feeling is unacceptable to ordinary people, but at this time this taste is the most refreshing.

Looking at the calm river, Nero frowned slightly, and began to take his mind away from Lin Xiqin's body, wanting to think about what Liang Xiao had told him about Avalon before, but just halfway through his thoughts, he was interrupted by an inexplicable sense of irritability, and slammed his fist on the ground.

"What's on your mind?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him, Nero was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him, and standing behind him was the girl with the same face in a dress and trench coat.

"Leticia?" Nero was slightly surprised by Leticia behind her, propped herself up and stood up, gently brushing the dust off her clothes, "Why are you here?" ”

"It often rains here in London, and it's a rare good weather today, so I'm out for a walk." Leticia looked at Nero and smiled and said, "Hmm...... I imagined what you would look like when you grew up, thinking you didn't smoke or drink at all, but it seems like I still can't guess accurately. ”

"No...... How to say. Nero's face looked a little helpless, "Originally, I thought I would be what you think, but...... The reality is a bit hard to say, although it's not a good thing after all. ”

Leticia looked at Nero, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Have you eaten?" ”

Nero shook his head slightly: "Although I don't have a lot of appetite, if you have this plan, it doesn't hurt to accompany you." ”

"That's good, there's a French restaurant around here that tastes good, and it's all simple meals, so you won't waste too much time." Leticia smiled slightly, "Go try it?" ”

"Absolutely." Nero said with a smile.

On the banks of the River Thames, in a small shop that is not very conspicuous, Nero and Leticia sat facing each other against the window.

"What does it mean for a person to drink by the river? Think about it. Leticia smiled and said, "Is there something you can't solve?" ”

"What do you say, I'm not omnipotent, of course there are things that can't be solved." Nero said disappreciatively.

"Yes, we are all mortals, not gods." Leticia said softly.

Nero pursed his lips and sneered: "It makes no difference, gods are not omnipotent, and maybe their conduct is a little worse than us mortals, just looking at the mythological records is already bad, and it must be a little uglier in real life." ”

Leticia covered her mouth and smiled softly, "You're right. ”

Looking at Nero, Leticia was silent for a moment and asked, "May I ask?" What are you worrying about now? ”

Nero pursed his lips and said after a long time, "Nothing, not important. ”

"Is it for the people you value?" Leticia looked into Nero's eyes and asked bluntly.

Nero's brow jumped slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he spoke: "Why do you think so?" ”

Hearing Nero's response, Leticia smiled slightly: "Because apart from this situation, I can't think of any other problem that can make you so sad, and in my memory your choices have always been very decisive, except for such things." ”

Nero smiled a little helplessly: "yes, it seems that I can't hide anything from you, hey, to be honest, I don't seem to be able to hide my thoughts?" ”

"Where do you come from, as long as you stay alone, it will all be written on your face, and if you want to know what you are thinking, you can just sneak a look at your face, won't it be over?" Leticia said with a smile. 113

"Yes......" Nero looked down at the table, the expression on his face gradually softened, and he didn't smile as hard as before.

Leticia looked at Nero, the smile on her face gradually faded, and after a long time, she asked, "The ...... Is this person who is important to you someone you like? ”

"Her name is Lin Xiqin." Nero did not hesitate at all, and spoke decisively, "After the two of us were separated, I also left my family, and now I live in Russia for a long time, and I also met her there, and it has been almost five years now, if it weren't for her, maybe I would have been on the black road by now." ”

"Really?" Leticia whispered, "That's a good girl." ”

"She's a doctor, and I've never seen a doctor as dedicated as her, in our joint ...... In the college, she is just a student, and she has taken on the work that many professional doctors in the college can't do, and is willing to give up her rest time to help anyone, this stupid guy also helped me do psychological counseling, my attitude towards her is quite arrogant, now I think about it, if her patients have more like me, it must be extremely hard. Nero raised his head as if in memory.

"Is it arrogant? Can I imagine what you were like? Leticia chuckled softly, "But she's really good, she must have worked hard to stabilize you in that situation." ”

"She's serious about anyone, as long as it's her patient." Nero said, hesitating slightly, and his voice began to deepen, "But now, she's sick too, and ...... And it is an incurable disease in the current situation. ”

"Is it cancer?" Leticia's eyes widened and she asked, a little surprised.

"It's much more ferocious than that thing." Nero began to gradually calm down, and said in a low voice, "Although there is a professor-level figure who says that a special medicine can be developed to fight this disease, there is no sample until now, although it can be developed, but everything is still undecided until the dust settles." ”

"So you're worried about this?" Leticia asked.

"Maybe." Nero sighed slightly, and now he could only admit that he couldn't say what he feared about the gods.

Leticia was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about ...... What hospital is she in? I'm going to see her and see what the girl who can smeher you looks like. ”

"Heh, then don't you think about you at the beginning?" Nero laughed, then sighed slightly, "But she's really different from you, and I don't know why she ......"

After a moment of silence, Nero said, "She's at Cambridge University Hospital, what if...... You can come whenever you want, but she may not be able to consciously greet you. ”

"It's a pity, but oh that way I won't be nervous." Leticia said with a smile.

"Oh? Is there anything else that can make you nervous? Nero asked with a smile as she looked at Leticia.

"Of course, don't you remember?"

The sad topic was turned over like this, and Nero was reluctant to talk too much about Lin Xiqin's illness, and now he was psychologically carrying two burdens, and neither of these two burdens was easy to deal with.

After dinner, Nero sent Leticia back to her flower shop.

"When are you leaving London?" Looking at Nero, Leticia asked tentatively.

"When the things here are done, I'll probably leave." Nero said, "I don't know how long it will take, and I probably won't be gone anytime soon." ”

"That's fine, next time if I have time, I'll let you taste the food I cooked." Leticia said with a smile.

"Yo? Don't you see it, but you can cook? Nero chuckled.

"Hey, don't underestimate me, after all, can I still do this simple thing after so long?" Leticia snorted at Nero, like the girl who dared to slap Nero with her head held high when she was still in school.

"Okay, next time I have time, I'll definitely try it." Nero said with a smile.

"Okay, that's it." Leticia's gaze showed a hint of reluctance, then she coughed twice and said, "Goodbye." ”

With that, Leticia turned away from looking at Nero and walked towards her flower shop.

Nero looked at Leticia's back, and after a moment of silence, turned to leave.
