841 calm
After sending away Andy and Roy, and also sending away Nathan who tried to stay, Renly stayed alone in Mount Sinai Hospital..
Turning around, Renly saw Anita Tunisa standing in the nurse's station, with a look of sadness and loss on her chubby cheeks. Then she took steps awkwardly and staggered away. When he arrived in front of Renly, he jokingly complained, "You actually made me move my ass. This is not an easy task.".”
Because of her weight and body shape, Anita is more inclined to sit still and deal with trivial matters. The nurses in the hospital always joke that it is definitely a big deal for Anita to leave the comfortable chair. She also joked like this.
A small sentence of humor caused the corners of Renly's mouth to slightly rise..
Anita looked at Renly seriously and carefully, her dark eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul hidden behind the mask and skin; however, Anita didn't say anything in the end, she just gave Lanly He gave Renly a big hug, and his thick palm like a cattail leaf landed heavily on Renly's back..
Before Renly could speak, Anita preemptively complained, "You are not allowed to dislike my hugs. Now all the little ones in the hospital refuse to hug me. If you dislike me again, be careful, I will hug you directly." Throw it out." Those rough words were filled with the warmth of concern..
Renly also had a faint smile in his eyes. After letting go of his arms, he asked with a smile, "Is there anything I can do to help? I have work for dinner today, and I am free before five o'clock..”
Anita scratched her forehead, "We were planning to tidy up the game room in the afternoon. Did you hear? Someone donated some books to the hospital. In addition to the library, we are planning to place a library in the game room. corners so the kids can. I know you're not a great carpenter, but you should be fine with organizing the playroom？”
“No problem." Renly laughed dumbly, nodded, accepted the task, patted Anita's arm, turned around and walked towards the game room..
Before he had taken a few steps, Anita's voice came from behind him, "Hey, young man." Renly stopped, turned around and looked at Anita, casting a questioning look, "Is there anything else you need? Supplementary?？”
“You know, it's not your fault." Anita said, but the vulnerability behind her words was inadvertently revealed..
Renly lowered his eyelids to hide the surge in his heart, but changed the subject when he opened his mouth, "I hope I'm not busy in the game room alone. You'd better inform a few other people and come over to help quickly." After saying this, Renly said this Then he raised his eyes, and there was still a full smile in his eyes. He nodded slightly, turned around and took steps forward..
The steady steps stopped suddenly when passing by Heather's ward. Through the window of the ward, you could vaguely see Heather lying on the hospital bed. The golden sunlight fell softly and lightly on that face. His calm and peaceful face seemed to be just a deep sleep, but the ventilator on his mouth, the tubes wrapped around him, and the slow-beating electrocardiogram reminded him that this was not just a sleep..
Under the white sheets, the chest was so quiet, with no fluctuation at all, that one almost suspected that the breath had disappeared. A crisp sound of "drip" sounded like thunder exploding in the ears, and only then did he notice with his peripheral vision, showing There was still a heartbeat curve on the screen, and the random thoughts in my mind were cut off..
For a moment, Renly thought he saw the face on the hospital bed. It was not Heather, but Chu Jiashu, but himself. But after blinking, the illusion disappeared in the halo, and he could still see it. Heather's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and it seemed that she could clearly see that the vitality was dissipating bit by bit..
Renly took another step forward, and with one step, all the images in his sight disappeared, leaving only the large white walls of the hospital. He walked towards the game room in an orderly and unhurried manner..
Devoting himself wholeheartedly to his work, the passage of time gradually became blurry. If Kelly Barton hadn't come to remind him, Renly might have missed his lunch time. Three hours disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Trace. Renly quickly finished the work at hand, rushed to the restaurant, and received his volunteer lunch: a sandwich, an apple, a bottle of orange juice, and a bag of potato chips..
After leaving the hospital building, he came to the backyard lawn, found an empty seat on the bench, sat down, looked at Anne Silliman sitting next to him, and glanced, "What are you eating?"？”
Anne clasped her feet in front of her chest, squatting curled up on the bench, chewing the banana in her hand slowly, and raised her head with the expression of a little adult, "What else could it be?"？”
Anne's three meals a day are all specially prepared. They are tasteless, and there are not many combinations. Renly has seen bananas alone countless times. The fruit Anne hates most is bananas. They are completely different. Vice-student's helpless expression.
Renly couldn't help but smile, and there was a smile in his eyes, and then he heard Anne sigh, "Life is nothing more than a banana, it's really boring." Pfft, Renly couldn't hold it back and laughed directly, but saw Anne The man's impish eyes fell on him, as if to say: What's so surprising about this?？
Renly pursed his lips and suppressed his smile, but his eyes were full of sunshine, "I can trade with you, do you want my apple?"？”
“I would like to, but the doctor said that apples have too much fiber and I can't eat them today." Annie rolled her eyes and spread her hands, "I think the nutritional content of an apple and a banana may be so different. Big? Even if it is true, the impact will not be that big. It must be the doctor making a fuss, right?？”
“Yes, I think so too." Renly nodded seriously and agreed. Then he opened his sandwich and started to enjoy his lunch..
The two people, one large and one small, just sat quietly on the bench without talking, bathing in the sunshine, looking into the distance, and enjoying the tranquility..
“Renly, do you think Heather will wake up tomorrow? Annie raised her head, squinting her eyes because the sun was too dazzling, and her whole face wrinkled, "Derek said, you promised Heather to take us to the party in Los Angeles, right?" So, Heather will definitely wake up, right?？”
Annie's eyes were full of expectation, flashing under the sun, "But, Ellie said that Heather was too tired and had too much fun last night, so she needed a good rest. But, Heather had been asleep for a long time, what? When will she wake up? If she doesn't wake up tomorrow, will she miss the party?？”
Renly did not answer immediately, but after swallowing the food in his mouth, he put down the sandwich, thought about it seriously, and then said, "Do you want to go to that party?"？”
“"Yeah." Anne nodded dullly, "Heather said, you can see a lot of fun things at that party, there are a lot of balloons and chocolates, and there are a lot of people who only appear on TV. Alex also wants to Go. But if Heather is sleeping, wouldn’t she be able to join us?？”
The expectation was full of joy and liveliness, but in the end, it was full of guilt and worry. The contradictory mentality made Annie frown slightly..
“If you want to participate, then you and Alex can go with me. However, in this case, you will bear a heavy responsibility. When you come back, you must tell Heather everything you saw and heard, and let her severely punish you. Only in this way can she cheer up, work hard to recover, and come to the next party with us. What do you think? "Renly said with a smile, raised his right hand and patted Annie's little head gently..
Annie raised her head again, "Can I really go?？”
“If your mother agrees." Renly nodded in affirmation..
A smile appeared on the corner of Annie's mouth, and her frown slowly relaxed. She shook her head slightly and started to eat the remaining bananas one by one. Then she muttered, "Maybe Heather will wake up tomorrow." Come here? Then we can go together! Did you know?……”
Annie's rambling words gradually regained their vitality, her chubby little hands began to make gestures, and her eyes were full of expectation and longing..
Renly nodded slightly, "Yes, maybe Heather will wake up tomorrow..”
Lunch ended and afternoon work began. Renly was still busy. Before leaving at five o'clock, the centerpieces of the game room were distributed and a general cleaning was carried out. Next, he waited for the carpenter to make the bookshelf, and then Then you can put the donated books on the shelves.
After a long day's work, Nathan drove here to pick him up. First, before the rush hour, he took Renly back to the apartment, where he quickly took a shower and changed clothes; then he followed the crowd to Madison Avenue and Seventh Avenue. Carlisle Coffee on the corner of Sixteenth Street.
This cafe is little-known to outsiders, but to New Yorkers, it is well-known. Because Woody Allen plays jazz here every Monday, and even the Oscars cannot disturb him. plan. In fact, Woody never thought of himself as a filmmaker. He firmly believed that he was a musician..
Tonight is not Monday, but Friday. However, Woody will still appear in the cafe to dine, accompanied tonight by Tony Kaye, Carl Lund and Renly Hall..
As one of the leading figures on the East Coast, even though Woody has no interest in Oscars or Academy PR, his influence cannot be underestimated..
After dinner, the clock was already approaching nine-thirty. Renly, Woody and others left Carlisle Coffee. After saying goodbye, Nathan appeared again, taking Renly home to change into another set of clothes, and then headed to the Upper East Side. Attend tonight's highlight.
Through the rearview mirror, Nathan glanced at Renly, who was sitting in the back seat. He was wearing a suit and leather tie, elegant and calm, but Nathan was full of worry. He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back, "Renly." ,are you sure？”
The pair of deep eyes raised, looked at the rearview mirror, and smiled slightly, "We are going to be late..”
