058 obscurity
Crossing several streets, we soon entered Madison Avenue, and a dark red Victorian-style building appeared in sight, abrupt but wonderfully integrated into the surrounding streets..
As the bridgehead for Europe's arrival in North America, New York has left countless imprints of Europe's iron heel. For example, Harlem, the name comes from the Netherlands. At that time, this area was a Dutch territory. The building in front of you was completed in the 19th century. In the mid-term, much has passed since the colonial era, but designers still followed and referenced the exotic styles of nearby neighborhoods, which resulted in a beautiful landscape in front of them..
Renly quickly entered the door, then put away the skateboard and came to the first floor. "Kelly." Renly greeted the young lady standing behind the counter and handed the skateboard over..
The lady named Kelly took over the skateboard and showed a big smile, "You're here.！”
Renly responded with a smile, "I'm already five minutes late. I'll go up first and talk about it later." Kelly nodded and said it was okay, put the skateboard under the counter, and then Renly ran quickly He headed towards the elevator and rushed in before the elevator door closed..
The elevator stopped on the seventh floor. Renly walked out of the elevator door, and then saw a little girl about six or seven years old sitting on an orange plastic bench, supporting her chin with her hands, pouting angrily, blowing The raised cheeks look like bubble fish, which really makes people laugh..
Renly walked forward, knelt down in front of the little girl, and touched her little head, but she stubbornly turned away, her eyebrows knitted together, and she looked at Renly angrily. "I'm thinking! Don't disturb me!" The little adult's appearance really made people laugh..
Renly also suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Did you not have a bowel movement again today?"？”
The little girl gritted her teeth, waved her chubby right fist, and then smashed it hard on the palm of her left hand. "Renly, I haven't had a bowel movement in three days! Three days!" Then she was filled with hatred. Gang looked up to the sky and sighed, "Jesus Christ, my stomach is full of poop now, I don't think I can even take a shower to clean it.".”
Renly laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears, but he couldn't laugh out loud. He could only clenched his fists and cheered her up, "I believe in you! You can definitely do it today."！”
The little girl also shook her fists, with an expression of failure or success, "Today is today! I decided to go to the bathroom to brew, and I won't be able to accompany you for the time being.！”
“Don’t worry, I can handle it on my own and I won’t get lost! "Renly also said extremely seriously. The two of them said "Come on" to each other again. Then Renly watched the little girl walk towards the bathroom with a tragic face. The appearance of the little adult really made people laugh..
This building is actually a hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, one of the best children's hospitals in New York..
In his last life, Renly spent one-third of his life in the hospital. The long years made him have extremely mixed emotions towards the hospital. He was a little rejected, a little resentful, but also a little nostalgic. He knew it better than anyone else. I know that the pain and suffering of being hospitalized for a long time is something that no onlooker can understand, and perhaps even friends who are also patients cannot understand, because every patient has his or her own demons and stories..
Sometimes, patients will start to get angry out of nowhere, and they will get angry at everyone around them, with no reason and no control. For family and friends, they can only stand by and worry, want to help but have no way to help, constantly Asking, “What exactly do you want?” Once the patient asks, they will go out of their way to help.
But Renly knows that they don't actually want anything, they just... just don't know what to do. Those cares, those worries, those pains, those tortures, those closeness from family and friends, they know it, they all know it, but they still can't change it. The fact that they are seriously ill cannot change the fact that everyone is helpless. Even they themselves cannot control the anger, jealousy, and depression that burst out deep in their hearts. Even if they know that these are not family members. It's their friends' fault, but they can't find anyone to vent to, can they?？
Maybe, they just need someone by their side. They can ignore it as much as they want, but stick to it from a distance and never leave..
They know that this request is too much, because even their own family members have their own lives, and they cannot stop where they are forever because of their illness. But, what else can they ask for?？
In this life, Renly has been volunteering in the hospital every week since high school. When he was eighteen years old, he obtained a professional nursing license, hoping to help more people within his ability. Even if he changes He never interrupts his actions in the city. In the past eight months, in addition to the period of filming "War in the Pacific", he also insisted on continuing to serve as a volunteer in nearby hospitals in Australia..
It's not kindness, it's not charity, it's just empathy..
The little girl just now is named Annie-Seliman. She lived at Mount Sinai Hospital while Renly was filming. Renly once asked the doctor about Annie's condition, and the doctor explained a lot of medical terms. Even though Renly later read about professional medical skills, his understanding was still limited. He only knew that Anne had a problem with her metabolic system. It was difficult for her to complete this basic function through her body functions, not only defecation, but also perspiration..
If she still cannot complete her voluntary excretion for a period of time, she can only resort to medical treatment. After Renly returned to New York, he saw Anne receiving treatment once, and her thin body lay helplessly on the hospital bed. , with tubes inserted all over his body, he lay quietly for three days, unable to do anything, not even speak. The long process was so painful that onlookers could not bear to watch, let alone Anne herself who was undergoing treatment. Woolen cloth？
“Renly, Renly, Renly! "There was a whistling sound like a small train from behind. Before Renly could turn around, a little guy threw himself on Renly's back, "Plane, plane, fly the plane.！”
Renly held the little guy's butt with both hands, stood up, spun around quickly, and then sprinted forward. The little guy on his back cheered happily, "Fly, I'm flying! Anita, A Nita, look, I'm flying！”
Anita-Tunisia, the head nurse at the nursing station, laughed dumbly, sat up slightly, and shouted in a dumbfounded voice, "Renly, don't take too long, don't be too intense, Alex's heart is hurt." No more！”
“Yes, ma'am! "Renly shouted loudly, and then he ran with Alex on his back, asking, "Sir! Please indicate destination！”
Alex-Reich raised his upper body enthusiastically, exhausted all the strength in his body, and shouted, "Normandy"！”
I don't know where this little guy heard Normandy, but Renly didn't have time to snicker, because Alex's voice was so loud that it shocked the entire floor, and many people ran out - this is not Wonderful, disturbing the rest of other patients is definitely an unacceptable move, so Renly grabbed Alex's calf with both hands, pushed it upward, first landed on the shoulders, and then grabbed the waist with both hands and lifted it hard. He reached over his head and instantly held the little guy in his arms, "Sir, all the enemies have been awakened, we must escape quickly."！“
Alex's giggles came from his arms. Renly led him to the family resting area at the end of the corridor, and then curled up in the armchair, like a soldier looking for cover..
Alex covered his mouth with both hands, but still kept laughing, obviously very happy. But there was a commotion in the corridor, the nurses were gnashing their teeth and talking, and some parents also left When they came out, some other new parents didn’t understand the situation and thought something had happened, so the other parents explained the situation with a smile..
“Alex Ricky! "A nurse stood at the end of the bench with her hands on her waist, "You sneaked out before you finished taking your lunch medicine! What do you think Renly will do with you?？”
Renly's eyes widened and he looked at the naughty little guy. Before Renly could say anything, the little guy quickly admitted his mistake, "I'm going to eat. I'm going to eat now! Renly, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." "The big watery eyes looked at Renly pitifully, like a puppy.
Renly wrinkled his nose and rubbed Alex's hair, "Hurry up and take the medicine, and then come to Heather's ward. I will make a kite for you and fly it in the afternoon."！”
“Really? Alex's eyes couldn't help but light up. Renly pointed to the huge backpack on his shoulders, "Of course."！”
Hearing these words, Alex jumped out of Renly's arms and ran out without waiting for the nurse. "Hurry up, hurry up, I want to take medicine! I want to take medicine!" The nurse was helpless. Di followed behind and chased after him, "Alex, slow down, slow down..”
Alex, ten years old, spent two years at Mount Sinai Hospital due to congenital heart disease. In fact, his condition can be recuperated at home. As long as he does not exercise strenuously, his daily life will not have much impact. But his parents were busy people and were away from home for 350 days a year. They hired a private caregiver to stay at home, but Alex was so upset that they simply left the little guy in the hospital - at least here. There are friends.
He stood up again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then strode forward, greeting the parents of the children familiarly along the way, and finally stopped at the door of the "314" ward. The noise just now was obviously Without disturbing the peace here, Renly knocked on the key as a reminder, then directly opened the door to the room and said hello with a smile, "Good afternoon, Heather, the sunshine is really nice today, isn't it?？”
