2212 Keep your promise
“Hum...hum..." The softly humming melody was swaying dexterously and lightly, the melody of "The Beast" was ringing, and the beast in my heart gradually fell asleep. All the noise and noise became quiet, and the hourglass of time seemed to disappear. The pace has slowed down, and the tranquility makes the moment evolve into eternity.
It would be great if the world could stay at this second forever.
As the silence spread, the beating of the heart became extremely clear, and then the breathing gradually stabilized. It seemed that the chaos of war was a thing of the past; but the fatigue of the body still lingered, and the heavy soreness seemed to be pulling on the muscles. , I can’t even lift my fingertips.
“Matthew, I need a bath..”
Renly's voice explored the boundless darkness, as if he was groping for the boundaries of the world. His deep weariness filled his voice with deep sleepiness, and then there was a little smile in his voice. For the current situation I feel helpless about the situation, "But now I can't open my eyes. Tell me, what should I choose?"？”
“I will not carry you to the bathroom." Matthew expressed his refusal righteously, directly seeing through Renly's intention, which made Renly laugh out loud, and then Matthew added, "But I can help you. Leading you to the bathroom, Phillip should have put the water on. You need to relax, otherwise you might catch a cold..”
“That's not okay. I need to stay healthy. Otherwise, if Chris calls directly, wouldn't I be able to fight back? "Renly expressed his firm belief seriously..
“Ha. Ha. Very funny..”
“Don't underestimate my fighting ability! You have to know, I'm a rock climber! Compared with you who sit in the office every day, it is much more powerful. When facing difficulties, of course I will go into battle personally. Otherwise, would I still expect Andre to come and help?？”
“Talk like you can actually fight - I don't mean like in the 'Fast and the Furious' movies.”
“I feel that you are looking down on me. I protest.”
“……Please continue to protest.”
Chattering and chattering, Renly entered the bathroom with Matthew's support, and then he could see Philip busy inside. The steaming water made Renly shiver several times..
Philip stepped forward and helped Matthew share the weight of Renly's body. This was not an easy task - because Renly exerted almost no force, the entire weight of his body was completely rolled down, and he did not even have enough strength to support it. Himself, this makes it extremely difficult for both Matthew and Philip.
However, at this time, Renly really couldn't care anymore..
The fatigue deep in his soul almost made him unable to open his eyes, and then his body was immersed in scalding hot water. The sharp pain coming from the surface of his skin was protesting, but he was really too tired. Unable to stand up, I simply immersed myself in it completely. In that kind of pain, the soreness of my muscles slowly disappeared, and my soul seemed to melt into it, so I closed my eyes in a daze..
In a daze, he only felt that he was wandering in a warm body, and he gradually lost consciousness..
Outside the window, the drizzle was still beating on the window lattice, the wind was strong, the treetops began to creak, the rolling clouds blocked the moonlight, and then the whole world fell into boundless darkness, with snowflakes mixed with rain. The streets and alleys of the city are constantly spinning, outlining the city with silver traces. Winter is slowly coming, and the storm seems to be waiting not far away..
This night, it snowed.
……
Drowsily, Renly woke up from his sleep. He did not continue to dream throughout the rest of the night, but he still slept uneasily. He always felt as if a nightmare was entangled around his ankles, and he could not get rid of it no matter how hard he struggled. Then his physical strength And energy disappears bit by bit like this.
When I woke up, my back felt cold, and I realized that the sheets that Philip helped change in the middle of the night were soaked with sweat again..
He rolled around in confusion, trying to find the water glass on the bedside table, but saw that the phone screen brightened up, vibrated for a moment, and then dimmed again - it must have been a text message. He kept turning over and seemed to be hesitating. Whether he should continue to sleep or check his phone, according to his usual habits, Renly would definitely choose the former, but inexplicably, his heart suddenly contracted..
Some palpitations.
By accident, Renly reached out and picked up the phone. When the cold touch of the phone reached his fingertips, he realized what he had done. He was hesitating whether he should give up, but his fingertips had already slid away from the screen, and then Text messages from Roman Abramovich can be seen.
“The person has been found. He is safe and sound. The medical officer accompanying him is also safe. He has just returned to the base and is undergoing a physical examination. If there are no accidents, he will return to London on a military cargo plane an hour later..”
Renly was slightly dazed. It wasn't until the screen dimmed and the light in front of his eyes disappeared that his mind began to work again. Then he turned on his phone again and read the text message carefully, over and over again, and even still doubted himself. Judgment: Is this a dream?？
He sat up directly, grabbed the glass of water on the bedside table, and poured the entire glass of water into his stomach. The cold touch made his throat and stomach clearly feel a slight vibration, and his heavy brain became slightly clearer. Then read the text message over and over again.
it's true.
it's true！
Renly closed his eyes tightly, letting those turbulent and wanton emotions surge and roll in his mind, completely destroying all lines of defense, but... he couldn't vent it, it was just deeply, deeply imprinted in his bones, My whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
She's alive. Edith, she's alive. That Edith Hall guy, she's alive.
The emotions released in an instant paralyzed the heart, and briefly fell into a suffocating rut. The powerful joy and happiness hit the chest, and then made a muffled sound of "bang bang bang", which was echoing in the whole mind. With the sound, the world is obviously so quiet but it creates so much noise.
Then, it calms down instantly.
The ups and downs of my mood were like riding a roller coaster, but I finally calmed down. All the despair and hardship settled down, turning into the joy and joy of the rest of my life. The explosion on my shoulders finally relaxed, and then... You can feel the soreness in the muscles of your body, and the feeling of exhaustion instantly drowns your consciousness, and your whole mind is emptied, and you just sit there quietly..
He thought he might cry with joy, have an emotional breakdown, or be ecstatic, but in fact, his only thought at this moment was relief..
Very simple and pure joy, without too many emotions or impurities, just simply feeling happy and cheerful, and then a faint sweetness spreads on the tip of the tongue - even after experiencing rebirth, even after experiencing death, Even after escaping from death, he still could not be 100% sure of the direction and trajectory of his life. The unknowns were like undercurrents on the reef, waiting in an uncertain and unknown place..
this is life.
This is why everyone should cherish life. Spend every minute and every second down-to-earth, and firmly grasp every present before it evolves into the future, and then the future you are looking forward to will come naturally—— Only by truly blooming like summer flowers can we welcome the quiet and beautiful falling leaves of autumn..
Lie down heavily again, let your body sink deeply into the quilt, let those emotions spread and boil in your mind, and just enjoy this short moment of relaxation - as for George and Elizabeth, as for Elf, as for Chris, As for those trivial matters, they are put aside for the time being, because Renly knows that the battle for Edith is still not over..
Experiencing a war and experiencing a death are two things that are very similar but very different. What's more, Edith has experienced war after war, faced death after death, and even herself has Feeling the sharpness of the death scythe, it was impossible for her not to feel anything.
After filming "Pacific War", Renly understood that the real war actually begins after "surviving", because death is the end of the world, but living requires more visible and invisible wounds, post-traumatic stress reactions The objective existence of (PTSD) cannot be ignored.
Even if it had nothing to do with Renly, Edith had her own problems to face. Only now, a very, very brief moment, could he relax a little: at least, Edith was alive and well, so let them focus on it first. That's what matters most in this matter.
After a long time, Renly sat up straight again and replied to Roman a text message..
Perhaps, from an objective standpoint, Renly has no way of judging what role Roman played in Edith's escape from death - from the perspective of the peacekeepers, it should be difficult for Roman to change their decision and interfere with their decision. Choice, it is very likely that Roman would have no way to intervene at all; but at least Roman kept his promise, he always followed up on Edith's news as soon as possible, ensured that Renly did not stay in the dark, and used his own connections to Helped Renly establish connections with organizations such as the Red Cross, exerting pressure through internal public opinion.
The so-called internal public opinion is, on the one hand, The Times and BBC TV station, which maintain attention by reporting relevant news; on the other hand, it is the pressure from key and important figures. The name "Edith Hall" is obviously not an unknown person; On the other hand, they use the name "Renly Hall" to create threats - they can't guarantee what Renly will say in front of the news media, nor can they guarantee how many connections Renly can use..
Pressure from all aspects was everywhere. Although we encountered some setbacks and faced some obstacles, in the end things developed in a positive direction..
Roman Abramovich is indeed indispensable.
