Chapter 699: A little kid but a big kid
Actually, professional players are no strangers to hospitals. They come to the hospital every now and then to receive examinations and go to the radiology department to take various films.
Moreover, Levi has not forgotten Berry.
Berry, who is still rehabbing, has recovered from one injury and suffered another, so that he had to fight against injuries and the laws of nature again and again at the end of his career to try to win a glimmer of hope.
Levi admired Berry.
Although they were teammates for less than three months, Berry's will and spirit along the way were unforgettable——
Fighting against injuries day after day and year after year, what is more terrifying than the pain is the unknown, because these efforts and persistence are not guaranteed. No one can guarantee that you will finally recover from the injury, and even if you recover from the injury, no one can guarantee Able to keep up with the competitive intensity of the league again.
In other words, these long persistence, four months plus ten months of hard work, may all be in vain in the end, with nothing.
This is the most terrifying thing.
If you were someone else, you might have given up. After all, Berry is not a nobody. He already has a place in the highly competitive NFL. Even if you give up now and retire and leave, there will be no regrets.
However, Berry didn't.
He is struggling, he is fighting, not because there is a tangible hope ahead, but because this persistence is the spirit that defines his personality, his existence, and his entire career.
In awe.
No matter what happens in the future, Berry is showing it through action.
Therefore, Levi often came to the hospital to visit Berry.
Slightly unexpectedly, Levi and Berry actually became good friends, true friends who were more than teammates and comrades-in-arms.
Hospitals are even more familiar to Levi.
However.
Even so, every time I enter the hospital, I still feel strange——
Here, whether it is hope or despair, it seems that they are not in their own hands. The power of life, old age, illness and death makes human beings deeply feel their own insignificance and powerlessness.
Involuntarily, the pace slowed down and took off.
tread. tread. tread.
The sound of footsteps climbing up the stairs echoed in the stairwell.
Levi and his group did not take the elevator, but chose the stairs to exercise. They were not in a hurry anyway.
Mahomes, who was trying to divert his attention because of his confusion, took the lead, but he suddenly braked and stopped. Levi and Kelsey behind him also stopped.
"What's wrong?" Levi asked.
Mahomes did not answer, but looked back at Levi and pointed to the front with his eyes.
Levi's footsteps followed closely behind, and when he turned a corner, he could see the scene in Mahomes's eyes:
A little girl.
He looked six or seven years old, wearing a bright red sweater jacket, and his golden brown hair was tied into two cute little buns like sheep's horns.
He sat down on the stairs, supporting his knees with his hands and dragging his cheeks. The fleshy cheek flesh was completely squeezed out, revealing two shallow blushes. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was angry or coquettish, but it was just It makes people want to pinch their cheeks and say "so cute".
Mahomes hesitated, "Could he be lost?"
Levi's eyes indicated, "There are patient clothes inside the coat. They should be the patients here."
Kelsey followed suit and quietly lowered her voice between the two of them, "Could it be haunted?"
Mahomes shuddered, his neck and shoulder muscles became obviously stiff, and he did not dare to turn his head.
Levi suddenly turned his head and exclaimed, "Ghost!"
As a result, Kelsey was so frightened that she took three steps back and pressed directly against the wall, looking like an emergency exit sign. For a short moment, her heart seemed to really stop beating. Levi ignored Kelsey, suppressed the corner of his mouth, hid his smile, continued to climb the stairs, approached the little girl, sat down a few steps in front of her, keeping his eyes at eye level, turned around and looked back, "Hey, twenty-five cents for your ideas.”
The little girl still supported her chin with her right hand, tilted her head slightly, glanced sideways at Levi, and pondered for a moment.
Just when Levi thought his conversation strategy had failed, the little girl said, "I don't understand why everyone is paying attention to my urination problem?"
Levi:......
I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
Kelsey and Mahomes were both stunned and didn't react for a moment. The two exchanged glances. Kelsey almost broke the news, but in the end he quickly lowered his head to control his smile, but his shoulders still shook quickly. stand up.
rare!
It is really rare to see Li Wei at a loss for words.
Li Wei was indeed killed by surprise, so should he think this was childish? Or young and mature?
Moreover, in the face of a little girl, it seems that it is neither an answer nor a non-answer. Is this a hot potato between a rock and a hard place?
Li Wei carefully looked at the little girl's expression and eyes, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, he thought seriously, "What did the doctor say?"
The little girl shrugged, "The doctor said I need to urinate. I don't know why."
After saying that, the little girl glanced at Levi, her eyes seeming to say: If I know the answer, do I still need to think about it here?
That childish voice and mature eyes were respectively complaining about Levi.
Levi actually... couldn't refute, a smile crept up the corner of his mouth, "Sorry, I'm trying to learn how to communicate."
The little girl nodded seriously, "It doesn't matter, everyone makes mistakes. I forgive you."
Levi also nodded, with a smile hidden in his eyes, "Thank you for your understanding."
"According to my understanding, frequent urination may occur after some treatments," such as chemotherapy. "At the same time, because treatments often contain certain toxins, they may cause pollution when excreted from the body, so the doctor needs to confirm that the patient has completed the treatment in the hospital. Excretion, complete processing.”
"This is just a possibility that I understand, and it may not be correct. But I believe that if you ask a doctor, they should be willing to give you the correct answer."
Sincerity and calmness.
The little girl raised her chin slightly, glanced at Levi, and said seriously, "They are unwilling."
Levi, "What?"
Little girl, "The doctors didn't want to tell me. They thought I was a child and I couldn't understand those complicated things, so they didn't want to tell me."
Levi:......
The little girl said, "Of course, I really don't understand."
Levi couldn't hold it back and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. This is an interesting little guy.
But before Levi could speak, the little girl once again supported her chin with her hands, her eyes showing a little sadness, as if she was feeling the sadness at a 45-degree angle.
"But, I just have no idea."
"What else can I do? If I don't want to urinate, there's still no way I can force myself to sit on the toilet, what do you think?"
The slightly frowned eyebrows, between long and short sighs, seemed to be sighing that life is not easy——
Indeed, life at the age of seven is as difficult as being seven years old, and life at the age of 27 is as difficult as being at the age of 27. We always think that life will be different when we grow up; but the reality is that life at the age of forty-seven is not easy. , Seventy-seven-year-old life is not easy for everyone.
Then, the little girl looked at Levi, as if waiting for an answer.
