848 Hospital visits

The base model is the Cosmograph Daytona in platinum, with numerals and indexes on a chestnut brown bezel, an ice-blue dial with a snailed small seconds dial, a triple water-resistant system with an embedded triplelock and an Oyster triple link bracelet strap.

This is the model Lu Ke will choose in the end, but this is only the base model, Rolex will also make adjustments according to Lu Ke's personal situation, they will engrave Lu Ke's personal mark on the back of the watch, the image of Bambi under the banner of the "King of the Bay Area", and Lu Ke's name and jersey back code, to ensure that this will be a unique and exclusive watch in the world.

At present, the market price of this watch is 20,000 US dollars, but the market price of this one exclusive to Lu Ke must be more than that, as for the final collection price, it depends on the subsequent performance of Lu Ke's career.

Wolfgang escorted Lu Ke and Lech out of the conference room, and stood at the elevator door, he made a solemn gesture of looking up and down, "I think you will be very suitable for this Daytona." Our studio still needs a little time, and when it is finished, it will be delivered to the house as soon as possible. ”

Then, Lu Ke saw the shallow smile on the corner of Lehe's mouth, as if to say: I told you, right?

After Lech, Wolfgang also affirmed Lu Ke's dress, which made Lu Ke a little crying and laughing, because no one had ever paid attention to this part of him before, of course, his attention had never been top-notch before, let alone his unknown college days.

"So, if I'm not dressed appropriately, will you correct my choice?" Lu Ke suddenly became curious.

Wolfgang put his hands behind his back, still with a warm smile on his face, "Oh, no, we won't. After a moment's pause, he added, "We're going to just cancel the partnership." ”

Silent.

Silent.

"Ding", the elevator arrived, but Wolfgang made an inviting gesture as if nothing had happened, "Again, it's a great honor to meet you." See you at the next press conference. ”

Lu Ke, Lech, and Vincent entered the elevator, nodded to Wolfgang, and waited slowly, slowly for the elevator door to close, and there was still silence in the air.

In the end, Vincent couldn't bear it anymore and asked hesitantly, "Lech, was Wolfgang joking just now?" ”

Lech didn't answer directly, but turned slightly sideways and glanced at Vincent with slanted eyes, "You shouldn't be serious, right?" ”

Vincent didn't speak.

The three men looked at each other with a sense of absurd joy, and they all chuckled at the same time, and it was now certain that the Swiss and Americans had different ways of humor.

The elevator came to the underground parking garage, and the three of them walked in the direction of the parking space, but Lu Ke did not follow the footsteps of Lehe and Vincent to get into the car again.

Lech pulled down the window, "Are you sure?" We can escort you to the hospital. ”

Lu Ke shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't get lost." ”

After making a joke, Lu Ke then explained seriously, "I'll go over and take a look for myself, maybe I can't find the person concerned at all, which is also possible; The parish was not far from my parents' house, and after it was over, I would go for a jog or a walk back, and in the evening there would be a tactical meeting of the second team. ”

"Don't you have something to keep busy with next? Don't worry about me. Lu Ke smiled again, signaling Lech not to worry.

Lech didn't insist any longer, "I know you don't want the media to disturb you, if you accidentally meet a media reporter, or a passerby takes a photo, if necessary, you let me know in advance, and I will deal with the matter." ”

"Thank you." Lu Ke said sincerely, and took a few steps back, gave up his position, and watched Vincent drive away, then turned around, left the underground parking garage, and walked in the direction of the main street.

Today, Lu Ke has other tasks.

In the first few home games against the Arizona Cardinals, Lu Ke accidentally found that Jonathan Baldwin and Ryan Baldwin were never seen.

The former was one of the representatives of the San Francisco Airport who warmly welcomed the team's return after the San Francisco 49ers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, and Lu Ke was really impressed; The latter, a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, insisted on coming to watch the game in a wheelchair every time, and it was Jonathan's younger brother who was even more impressed.

Even if you want to ignore it, it's not a simple matter.

Originally, Lu Ke didn't think much about it, the Candlestick Stadium can accommodate 70,000 fans, and in the vast sea of people, it is really normal to not find two fans, but he just took it for granted that he and they missed it.

After the game against the Seattle Seahawks, Lu Ke met the Jeff Rock and Chris Wilson fans and asked them about it, and then everyone noticed it, and Jeff said that they hadn't seen the Baldwin brothers for two weeks, but they didn't know exactly what happened.

Lu Ke had a faint sense of foreboding, so he asked the fans to inquire about the news and inform himself in time if there was a situation.

Before the game against the Arizona Cardinals, during the team's open training, Lu Ke learned from fans that Ryan's condition seemed to be worsening and he had to be hospitalized again, but the specific situation was not very clear, because Jonathan did not want to discuss it too much.

Involuntarily, Lu Ke thought of the thin and tall Jonathan, and the Ryan who always had a sunny smile.

He felt that he should visit Ryan in the hospital.

However, Lu Ke is not sure if his behavior is appropriate, because he does not know what Ryan's situation is; So he wanted to be as close and friendly as possible to his visit as a friend, to make sure it was a private act, and to genuinely hope that the news media would not disturb the Baldwin brothers' purity, which would turn into a hype stunt.

San Francisco General Hospital, known as one of the best public hospitals in North America, is located at the foot of a hill in the Church District, a short drive east to the Haight-Ashbury district, where Luke's parents' home is located.

As mentioned earlier, San Francisco is a multicultural city, where a variety of different cultures live on each other but independently.

The Ecclesiastical District is a South American community, and the simple and enthusiastic Latin Americans have dotted this area with colorful and colorful decorations, and large areas of graffiti can be seen on the facades of buildings on both sides of the block, highlighting their own characteristics and outlining the unique scenery of this area. Mexicans, Colombians, Argentinians, Brazilians, and many more can be seen on the streets.

However, after nightfall, you have to be careful when moving through the area, as gangsters and thugs will roam the streets in a different way of seeing the city.

The San Francisco General Hospital in front of you is like this, with red flamenco painted on the mottled faΓ§ade, dancing the corners of the skirt wantonly, blooming in the dilapidated ruins, and the ancient and vicissitudes of the building have witnessed the passing and surging of time.

Lu Ke's footsteps stopped in the hospital hall, his mood was really a little weird, every time he came to the hospital, he seemed to be connected with negative negative emotions, which made people can't help but start to feel heavy.

Then, Lu Ke came to the front desk, "May I ask, which ward does Ryan Baldwin live in?" ”

Originally, Lu Ke was still a little hesitant, worried about the potential possibility of encountering fans, if he created unnecessary riots, it would not be wonderful; But unexpectedly, the reception staff at the front desk did not change their expression at all, checked the computer system, and replied, "Ryan Baldwin?" Room 314. ”

Lu Ke stood in place and paused slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "314, understand, thank you." ”

Because it is a public hospital, the corridor seems to be a little crowded and busy, and the people who come and go are immersed in their own world, and they have no time to pay attention to the strangers who pass by them; You can vaguely capture the chaos and noise of the emergency room, and the agitated surge makes the sunlight outside the window stop, and the air cools down little by little.

It was an amazing experience.

Just now, Lu Ke signed a contract with Rolex and earned the first million in his life, and it was several million; Now, Lu Ke has appeared in a public hospital, everyone is busy with their own lives, no one knows him at all, and the strong breath of life is blowing on his face, and the sense of reality is tightly attached to his skin.

The slightly fluttering mood is once again down-to-earth and humble.

β€œ314。” Lu Ke's footsteps stopped at the door of the ward accurately, but he didn't push the door in immediately, but looked through the inlaid glass above the door of the room, searched for a while, and saw Ryan sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to Lu Ke.

Because he wore the No. 14 jersey of the San Francisco 49ers in addition to his hospital gown, and Lu Ke's autograph on it.

Lu Ke remembers that it was an autograph he completed for Jonathan at Under Armour's fan meeting.

Ryan turned his back to the door, unable to see his expression, but his emaciated shoulders and lonely side face faintly outlined wounds that could not be erased or healed.

Involuntarily, Lu Ke remembered Kyle Williams, who was reimbursed for the season due to injury.

People always say, "I understand, I understand", but in fact, the bystander is always a bystander, and there is never a way to truly empathize with it unless you have experienced it yourself. Those bitterness, those struggles, those despairs, make people fall into deep helplessness. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the eternal issues of human beings.

"Bambi?" There was an unexpected exclamation in my ears.

Turning his head, Lu Ke saw the thin and tall figure that appeared in front of him, raised his right hand, and took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, Jonathan." 2k reading network
