812 caught off guard
Renly was stunned for a moment, his heartbeat stopped in time, and he quickly lowered his eyelids, defensively concealing the confusion and turmoil under his eyes. He tasted the slightest bit of bitterness on his tongue, but couldn't describe it, "When (When) )? And...what's going on (How)?" The calm voice no longer had the joy, but it also didn't have the panic. It just returned to calmness, without joy or sorrow, making it difficult to distinguish the real thing. Emotions come.
“When" and "How" are just two words, restrained and restrained, and you can even hear the noise of air movement..
Renly was so calm, but Andy felt vaguely uneasy. He didn't know Heather Cross, but he knew Mount Sinai Hospital, and he also knew the significance of the hospital's volunteer work to Renly..
Andy once suggested that this charity event could be announced to the public and become part of Renly's image project and part of the media hype, but Renly refused. He just wanted to do his part, with his meager strength. , there is no hype, and there is no need to publicize. More importantly, he does not want to break the tranquility of these children’s lives..
“I don’t know much about the specific situation.” Andy also came to New York in person today and had not had time to go to Mount Sinai Hospital. “The incident probably happened the day before yesterday. I heard that thick phlegm blocked the respiratory tract and she couldn’t breathe. , after difficulty breathing, it caused instant suffocation, which then triggered cardiac arrest. The doctor must perform surgery immediately..”
Andy said these two simple sentences with great difficulty. He looked at Renly seriously. Renly was very quiet and listened attentively. There was no special ups and downs, he was just focused, but his inner uneasiness was still there. Expanding little by little. Andy is not used to Renly like this..
“Yesterday, Heather's mother called me, Ellie." Andy continued calmly, "They have been trying to contact you, but they didn't have your mobile phone. They went through the Screen Actors Guild and finally found me. Now Heather is still in a coma. The doctor said that the situation is under control, but Heather has not woken up. It just depends on her own will. She, uh, I mean Ellie, she tried various methods , almost despairing, and finally thought of you.”
To be honest, Andy was surprised when he received the call. His first reaction was to hang up the phone. No matter whether the other party was a liar or not, the problem was that if every patient made a request to the artist, and every request , the broker has to deal with it, this is unrealistic.
A more appropriate approach would be to submit an application to the elf organization.
Genies is a charitable organization in the United States, also known as the Make-A-Wish Foundation. As the name says, it is an organization that specializes in "fulfilling wishes". Every minor who is seriously ill or even terminally ill , they can all fill out an application letter and submit it to the elf organization, and the charity will help them realize a dream.
The Elf Organization completes a large number of reviews every week and does its best to help these children realize their long-cherished wishes. If necessary, they will also contact the corresponding artists, hoping that the artists will participate in these charity activities.
However, when he learned that Heather was a patient at Mount Sinai Hospital, Andy still answered the phone.
For Heather, Andy could only feel regret and no resonance, because that name meant nothing to him, it was just a stranger. But at this moment, looking at Renly, who was as calm as water, Andy's words were stuck. In his throat, he could hardly speak. Those dark brown eyes made him feel that he was gradually becoming smaller..
For the first time, Andy lowered his eyes and avoided looking, "She wants to ask if you have time to go to the hospital to visit Heather.".”
The last time he met Heather... he remembered that Heather was in good condition and was preparing to audition for "American Idol"; he remembered that Heather's recovery was becoming more and more positive; He remembered that Heather was bathing in the sun, humming the melody softly, and her dream was setting sail; he thought that everything was getting better and her condition was under control. But why did things suddenly become different?？
Or did he remember it wrong? There was an error in his memory？
Renly nodded slightly, twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, and the shallow arc was an elegant and warm smile, "Of course. Sir, please go directly to Mount Sinai Hospital." This sentence was said to the driver..
The driver turned to look at Andy. After getting confirmation, he made an "OK" gesture and said, "No problem..”
“Renly." Andy called worriedly. Renly turned his head and cast a confused look, seeming to ask, "What's wrong?" This caught Andy off guard, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. I could only ask subconsciously, "Are you okay?"？”
“I'm fine." Renly said with a smile, and even chuckled, his expression relaxed, and then he withdrew his gaze and turned to look out the window, his expression calm and normal..
Andy was speechless and froze in place silently. He turned around and exchanged glances with Roy, and then saw deep worry in each other's eyes. However, both of them were trapped and helpless. The carriage , fell into silence.
Between the bitterness and coldness outside the car window, the warmth and silence inside the car, a thin layer of mist appeared on the window glass, and the whole world became hazy and blurry, and you could vaguely see the The scenery that keeps flying backwards seems to be able to see the traces of the rapid flow of time. The stream of light and flying shadows change into different shapes and colors. The magnificence and majesty of the vicissitudes of the sea are changing rapidly in the depths of the pupils. Just a blink of an eye. centuries have passed.
Gradually, the gray high-rise buildings, crowded crowds, and traffic jams slowed down the pace, and finally got stuck in the traffic jam. Half an hour, an hour later, the passage of time began to lose its meaning; but the world Instead of becoming clearer, it became more and more blurred. Only the outlines were left, bustling and dense, and the ubiquitous feeling of crowding slowly came over..
A mouthful of phlegm.
For ordinary people, it is just a trivial matter of coughing; but for Heather, it has become a fatal killer. The failure and weakness of the respiratory system makes swallowing and speaking difficult, and even breathing becomes a luxury..
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, such a complicated name for a disease, seemed to lose its meaning with each passing sentence, so much so that Renly almost forgot how serious and sharp the disease was, and then, without warning, it struck him. He grabbed Heather's throat, and also grabbed the throat of life. He killed swiftly and decisively, leaving no room for breathing..
Suddenly, Renly opened the car door, and the biting cold air rushed in instantly. Everyone in the car shuddered, and turned around in fear and fright, but only saw Renly's back. run wildly.
“Renly! "Nathan was the first to shout, opened the car door, and tried to catch up, followed closely by Roy and Andy. The three of them got out of the car and shouted in panic, "Renly! "However, these shouts did not make Renly stop. He bypassed the traffic jam, bypassed the highway, rushed onto the sidewalk next to him, and merged into the surging crowd. He ran, just ran..
Nathan only chased him for a short distance, and then he was out of breath. He couldn't keep up with Renly's speed, and could only watch the figure disappear into the sea of people..
Turning around, Nathan's face was filled with worry and he was confused, "What to do, what to do... Heather, Heather is one of Renly's best friends, Renly even brought a gift to Heather in Berlin.”
Andy closed his eyes in annoyance, full of regret. He should know more, he should care more. But it was too late now. He raised his head and saw Roy with his eyes closed..
Roy exhaled heavily, "Renly will take care of himself. Let's rush to Mount Sinai Hospital as soon as possible." He raised his hand and scratched his messy hair like a bird's nest, filled with countless chaotic thoughts. , but couldn't figure out a single thread. "Andy, tell me, shouldn't I leave Renly in Berlin?"？”
Andy and Roy exchanged glances, but there was no answer.
Running wildly, running wildly. Renly felt that his chest was burning. The burning heat was so raging and fierce that he could hardly breathe. He needed some fresh air. So, he did this. He didn't know that he I don’t know what I am doing, I just follow my instinct, let go, and run forward, not even sure whether this direction is correct or where it is pointing..
The brain completely stopped functioning. I have been a human being for two lives, I have seen through life and death, and have gone through many vicissitudes, but at this moment, my brain is still shut down, and I have lost the ability to think. There is only blank space, large blank spaces, which are not scary, and my heartbeat is completely lost. Rhythm, rushing and crashing.
I don’t know how long I ran, but my lungs were finally overwhelmed, and my breathing began to become hot and turbulent. My feet finally stopped, my hands supported my knees, and I breathed heavily, but because it was too fast, I began to cough violently. Coughing, convulsed, almost starting to vomit.
The biting air penetrated into the body along with the breath. After the extreme cold and extreme heat collided, the limbs instantly became cold, and the brain finally regained its calmness..
Heather.
This is not his story, but Heather's. The person lying on the hospital bed in coma now is Heather; the person in urgent need of help now is Heather. Not him.
Standing straight, he looked around in a panic. The oppression of the steel forest and the confusion of the surging crowds made each independent individual so small. If he was not careful, he would be lost in the city. An empty taxi entered. Seeing this, Renly quickly raised his hand to signal the other party to stop, got on the car smoothly, and then said, "Mount Sinai Hospital.”
When the taxi arrived at the hospital, Renly realized that he had rushed out without his wallet or cell phone..
“Renly, right? "The driver recognized Renly's appearance and said to the rearview mirror, "I recognize you. I've watched 'Crazy Love'. If you don't have a wallet with you, you can keep it for now and give it to me next time." Catching the panic in Renly's eyes, the driver smiled and said, "Everyone has accidents. I don't know why you came to the hospital, but I hope everything will get better.".”
“Thank you." Renly patted the back of the driver's seat and said, "Give me your business card and I will contact you later..”
