"Don't panic! Wait at home, I'll be there shortly! ”

Li Mo didn't talk nonsense, picked up his mobile wallet, put on his clothes, and ran downstairs.

"Hey, Claire! Are you at work? I have a critically ill patient here who needs your help......"

When he was in the hospital, Li Mo had already re-contacted Claire. Tempe, who now works as a night nurse in the emergency department of the downtown hospital.

Li Mo didn't have any thoughts about her, having a doctor and nurse who had a good relationship was the survival wisdom of the old fritters! Without Claire's help, no one would want to come to this hellish place in the middle of the night!

Little Lucas's home is not far from here, and if you drive it, you need to make two big circles, so Li Mo chose to walk directly through the alley to take a shortcut.

The street lights in the alleys are dim, and many of them are broken, causing light and darkness to alternate and have poor vision! The uneven ground is covered with a thin layer of sewage. On the stinking green iron bin, a few wild cats and dogs are rummaging through food.

Just as Li Mo passed through an intersection, a Mexican wearing a hooded sweatshirt suddenly appeared in the darkness of the corner, holding a gun and aiming it at Li Mo.

"Don't move! Take your ......"

"Fuck off!"

Without waiting for the robber to continue, Li Mo shook his hand irritably, and the vines stretched out like lightning, and the robber's head slammed into the wall with a loud noise.

The walls were dented, and the robbers' heads were deflated, splashing red and white on the ground...

Li Mo was stunned,

That's it,

Killed?!

It seems like?

So be it!

Shaking his head, Li Mo left quickly, and under the dim street lamps of the alley, his back entered the light for a while, and the darkness for a while......

After a few more corners, Li Mo came to the street, opposite the apartment building where little Lucas lived.

The elevator has fallen into disrepair and has been out of use, and the mottled walls are covered in graffiti. Li Mo avoided a few addicts sleeping in the corridor and came to the third floor, and urgently knocked on the door of room 3011.

Little Lucas quickly opened the door, and the poor boy had no master, chapped lips, and a tear-stained face.

"Don't worry, the ambulance will be here soon!" Li Mo patted little Lucas on the shoulder and comforted.

It's a 60-square-metre unit with shabby furniture in a cramped space. The paint on the cabinets has fallen off, and the threads on the sofa are exposed...

But this old room was indeed cleaned up by little Lucas, and the flowers raised in the glass cans and bottles on the mottled table gave this shabby home a faint sense of warmth.

Li Mo sighed, this kid is really not easy!

On the bed lay a black woman, skinny but with a large belly, unconscious but restless, convulsing and moaning...

Li Mo chuckled in his heart, he only knew that little Lucas's mother had been sick in bed for many years, but he didn't expect it to be so serious! I knew it earlier......

He was also a little worried, but fortunately the sound of an ambulance came from a distance outside the window.

Claire also came with the car, and the elevator was not working, so a group of people had to carry little Lucas's mother to the ambulance on a stretcher.

After the accompanying doctor briefly asked Lucas Jr., he made a rough judgment: advanced liver cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, ascites, hepatic coma, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, diabetes, and high blood pressure!

Suddenly, Claire, who was being examined, became serious, "The patient's heart rate and blood pressure are dropping rapidly!" ”

"Oh shit! Epinephrine! artificial respiration..."

The ambulance disappeared into the night with the sound of its horn...

………………

In the ward, doctors are resuscitating.

Little Lucas sat on the cross chair outside the ward with his eyes blank, biting his fingers tightly and trembling with fear from time to time.

Li Mo sighed and touched little Lucas's head, he didn't know how to comfort him.

After a while, the doctor came out and shook his head helplessly, "The patient has all organs failed, there is nothing we can do, we can only reduce her pain as much as possible!" ”

Little Lucas rushed in like crazy, crouching in front of the hospital bed and holding his mother's hand. While shedding tears, he muttered in despair: "NO, NO, don't leave me!" … Don't leave me alone......"

As if returning to the light, little Lucas's mother came to her senses, but the torture of a long illness had drained her last of her strength.

She looked at her son in front of her, he was so lovely and kind, always so positive and optimistic.

The chaotic life of his youth, addiction to drugs, drunkenness and dreams. After accidentally giving birth to a child, she didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a mother, and she even gave her child sleeping pills in order to have time to go out and play!

Until she lay on the hospital bed, all the fox friends and dog friends were gone, and only the lonely young child stayed by her side to take care of her wholeheartedly.

She tried to commit suicide many times, but was dissuaded by the child's crying and pleading.

Step on a stool to learn to cook and wash dishes...

Fall and burn again and again...

Learn to mend old clothes by yourself...

Hands full of needle eyes...

I went out to work early for medical expenses...

Dragging your tired body to clean the room...

She just watched the child grow up like this!

This child is an angel who has grown up in hell!

She was extremely remorseful, why she didn't die of drugs when she was young!

This angel was born, but it brought him endless suffering!

Little Lucas's mother was in tears, and her mouth kept opening and closing. She couldn't make a sound, but Li Mo understood the shape of her mouth...

“ I'm sorry！ … I'm sorry ！ …”

“…… I'm s……”

Li Mo suddenly felt extremely irritable, closed the door gently, and walked to the balcony.

Lighting a cigarette, he took a deep breath mixed with the cold air, and stared blankly at the sky.

"And smoke? Get me one too! ”

Claire. Temple also walked out.

"Even though I've seen so much, every time I encounter this situation, I still feel bad!"

"Why did you choose to continue this profession?"

"I don't know."

Claire's eyes were a little confused.

"I just...... Want to do something! ”

The two of them didn't speak after that, and after a long time, Li Mo suddenly raised his middle finger fiercely at the sky!

……………………

Next.

Inside an alley in Hell's Kitchen.

The police have set up a fence zone, and a group of forensic officers are collecting evidence at the scene, and curious heads are poking out of the windows of the alley.

Brett. Mahoni had just visited the nearby households, looked at his partner's inquiring gaze, and shook his head helplessly, "There are no eyewitnesses, most of the cameras in the vicinity have long been broken, and the few that have not taken suspicious clues have been taken!" ”

The partner also complained with annoyance: "I have never encountered such a situation! Totally unreasonable! It was as if the victim had crashed into the wall at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour! There is no trace of any machine on site! ”

"Has the victim been identified?"

"Well, it's a Mexican named Moreno, who came here smuggled in and has multiple criminal records! It must have been misfortune while committing the robbery! ”

Suddenly, Bright's cell phone rang, and after saying hello to his colleague, he walked aside and picked up the phone, "What's the matter?" I'm working! ……… You're coming tomorrow? …… Well, my mother and I will be waiting for you at home! But I warn you, Fergie Nelson! Don't bring cigars to my mother! ………… Your law sworn friend is coming? If I'm not mistaken, it was the blind man named Matt. Murdoch bar! Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home! ”

As soon as Bright hung up the phone, he heard a shout from the forensic department, and he had made a new discovery!

He hurriedly walked over, and a colleague from the forensic department said: "After washing off the bloodstains, the victim's neck found strangulation marks!" The neck bones have all been broken! ”

A group of people were discussing, and suddenly a voice came from behind them, "Excuse me, gentlemen! ”

Bright turned around and found behind him a white man in a suit with a kind face and a Chinese woman with a cold face.

The man smiled very kindly: "Good morning, gentlemen, my name is Phil. Coulson, this is Melinda. Plums. We come from the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. From now on, we'll take over! ”

……………

In the next few days, Li Mo was helping little Lucas prepare for the funeral.

The renovation of the store has been completed, and Barrett has also delivered the special alloy steel on time. But none of this made his mood better, and he accepted it hastily.

There were very few people on the day of the funeral, and the poor family did not have many relatives and friends.

The funeral was conducted in a chapel in Hell's Kitchen, conducted by a priest named Langton.

Li Mo accompanied little Lucas in his newly purchased black suit and quietly listened to Father Langton's eulogy:

Her life was full of misfortunes

Afflicted by the temptation of the devil and devastated by disease

But she is happy

God sent him an angel of light

Lord, for those who believe in you

Life is changing, not destroying

We have ended our earthly journey,

and will be ascended to the eternal heavenly land.

……

After the funeral, little Lucas looked a little dazed and always silent.

One afternoon, Li Mo took little Lucas and sat on the second-floor balcony and drank beer.

"Little Lucas!"

"I think you're not even 18 years old!"

"Well, 17 years old!"

"Do you have any dreams?"

Little Lucas's eyes suddenly lit up and dimmed again.

"Say, like a!"

"Once...... I want to be a lawyer! ”

Li Mo took a sip of beer,

"So what are you waiting for? Go! ”

Little Lucas smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I dropped out of school early, and I don't have any money, I ......"

Smack, Li Mo threw him a check.

Lighting a cigarette, Li Mo said faintly: "50,000 US dollars, go to a night school, take a lawyer exam for Lao Tzu and come back, and continue to work for me to pay back!" ”

Little Lucas was stunned by this sudden surprise, and he suddenly ushered in a turning point in his life, a poor black child who was helpless and could not see the light...

Little Lucas stood up excitedly, helpless, his lips twitching to say something.

Li Mo waved his hand, "Let's go, remember not to let my money go down the drain!" Be careful that I beat you! ”

"Yes! boss！ Little Lucas staggered downstairs.

Let's go! Li Mo was a little emotional!

With the efforts of this child, he will definitely become a successful lawyer in the future!

He will meet a wife who loves him,

He will have a lovely child,

He will have a happy family of his own,

Everyone has their own destiny, and the two will see each other less and less often until they gradually lose contact

I can't hear this unlucky guy anymore

Why are the corners of the eyes a little wet!

……

"Boss, those pills will arrive tomorrow!"

Li Mo was stunned, why are you back again?

"Keep going to work! It's not time to get off work yet! ”

"Aren't you going to school?!"

"It's just night school, do you want to quit?"

"I ......"

"Boss, why are you crying?"

"Which eye did you see me crying!"

"Do you think I'm leaving! Reluctant? ”

"Fuck you X! Get down and look at the store! ”

“…………”

"You must be crying!"

"If you don't get out, I'll beat you!"
