Chapter 701 Dare to Dream
The atmosphere in the small chemotherapy room was noisy.
In the room, sofas were placed neatly against the wall, all along the wall, so that the space in the center was completely cleared.
On the sofa, a child is sitting, and next to the armrest are IVs and IVs; some sofas are accompanied by adults who look like parents, but most are not, because chemotherapy is a long and boring process, and today is another Monday at work. Today, not everyone does not need to go to work.
At this time, the children were all gathered at the door with eyes full of excitement and excitement; but no one left their seats, because every step was hindering their steps. If they wanted to stand up and rush forward, the scene in front of them might turn into a bumper car scene. So they are restraining themselves.
There is still only Felix standing in the middle, with his bits and pieces on the right.
Levi smiled, "Hey, Felix."
With a rustle, all eyes in the audience swarmed towards Felix, with envy, admiration, and joy.
Instead, Felix was stunned and looked at Levi with wide eyes——
Although he knew that Levi would not break his promise, when he actually saw Levi appear so close, the joy and happiness exploded instantly.
Levi entered the room, took two steps forward, and looked around.
"Hey, good morning. I'm Levi, the running back of the Kansas Chiefs. I came here specially to visit my friend Felix, and I brought two of my friends, the quarterback Patrick who also played for the Kansas Chiefs with me - Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce.”
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz.
No one spoke, but the restlessness of happiness could be clearly felt in the air, and even sitting on the sofa one or two people could not control the boiling of their blood.
His eyes circled around the three of Li Wei enthusiastically and urgently.
"Of course, Felix's friends are my friends, and so are Patrick and Travis' friends, so who's a Chiefs fan here?"
Swish, brush, brush!
One by one, they quickly raised their left hands and moved their buttocks slightly away from the sofa, trying to stretch their arms higher and higher, as if the higher they stretched, the more loyal they would be.
But Levi noticed, not everyone, there were one or two children who hesitated slightly, looked around at the others, and then raised their arms too.
Levi looked at the children, "It doesn't matter if you don't. Not everyone needs to like football, and not everyone needs to like the Chiefs. You can like baseball, you can like ice hockey, and you can even not like it at all. Like any sports, I'm not sad, not at all, I just need some time..."
Levi raised his head and took a deep breath, as if he was trying to digest this matter——
Ha ha. Hahaha.
The cheerful laughter of children filled the air.
Then, Levi lowered his head and showed a big smile, "So, who here has a Chiefs jersey?"
Brush brush brush.
Several children reacted quickly and immediately raised their arms high.
Levi deliberately raised his hands, making a praying gesture with his index and middle fingers overlapping, "Please say no, please say no, absolutely no."
"Because the gift I brought today is the jersey."
Levi looked at the children, "Sorry. You already have it. It seems that today..."
The children were stunned and looked at Levi with sad and bewildered faces.
Levi changed the topic, "Do you mind if the same jersey is signed by three of us? I know this is not a gift worth a thousand dollars, but I really hope you will like it."
One second, two seconds.
Ahhhh. Ahhhh. The joy and happiness in the entire chemotherapy room suddenly erupted and boiled over.
Felix looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, feeling a little at a loss——
Chemotherapy is not only boring, but also painful, nauseating, dizzy, and uncomfortable. It is simply a disaster.
Occasionally, he would feel that his blood vessels were cold and cold, as if his life force was being sucked away bit by bit, but he could only sit there, unable to move. That feeling of powerlessness is annoying.
Therefore, the day of receiving chemotherapy is always hard. Even from the moment you get up in the morning, every cell in your body begins to resist this thing.
Until they started listening to the Kansas City Chiefs games and drawing energy from the sounds of those battles, chemotherapy seemed not so difficult anymore——
At least, there is joy in suffering.
But now, looking at the laughter and laughter in the room, Felix had no sense of reality at all.
The smile crept up to the corner of his mouth bit by bit; but for some reason, his eyes felt warm.
"Hey, Felix."
A face appeared in front of him, it was Levi.
Felix was startled, hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his sleeves, and gave a panicked smile.
"Hey, Levi. I didn't expect that...thank you for being willing...I mean thank you."
The words are incoherent and the words do not convey the meaning.
However, Levi understood.
"Thank you for inviting me here, Felix."
Felix was stunned.
Levi knelt down and looked into Felix's eyes, which were filled with sincerity, "I am serious. This city has always welcomed me in your way and accepted me as a part of your life. I I’m very grateful. Thank you for introducing your friend to me.”
Felix felt a surge of warmth in his chest, and happiness and joy inflated rapidly like a balloon, almost going to fly away in the wind.
Felix shook his head, "No, I should thank you. You made me believe that dreams still exist and can still be realized."
Levi raised his chin slightly, "So, what is your dream?"
"Run," Felix blurted out. "Run on the football field like you do, tear a crack in the airless defense like an edgewalker."
But after saying that, Felix showed a bitter smile, "This is a ridiculous dream, right?"
Bone cancer caused Felix to lose a leg. Although now with a prosthetic limb, Felix can stand and walk. On the surface, he looks like a normal person; but Felix knows that it is still different after all, and he cannot just do it casually. Move rashly, let alone run like before.
This is one of the reasons why Felix likes Levi.
He likes to watch Levi galloping on the court.
"Hahaha, I'm just joking." Felix quickly changed the subject, "Actually, my dream is to form a band and perform at the school graduation dance. Maybe one day in the future, I can also play in Arrow What about playing on stage at home games in the stadium? How about this dream?”
Levi smiled at Felix and said, "Very good, perfect."
"Whether it's running on the field or being on stage at Arrowhead Stadium, it's all good. It's the perfect dream."
"Felix, you still have to have a dream. What if it comes true?"
"I believe in you, and I also believe in the power of dreams. Look, a layman who has never understood football can also serve as a starting running back in a professional league. What's not to do?"
Felix looked at Levi's smile, and he couldn't hold back the curve of his mouth.
Some hesitation, some hesitation, some timidity, but... still bloomed, and then nodded heavily.
"Yeah." Felix said.
