Chapter 738: The Edge of Life and Death
“Felix.”
"Felix!"
"Calm down, tell me first, what happened?"
Levi quickly caught his nerve and used an emergency brake to control the situation.
But on the other end of the phone, Felix fell into deep helplessness.
"I don't know, I just...I'm at the intersection of Hudson Street and Canal Street right now. I, I might need a little help."
Wait, it's only two blocks away from Levi's apartment. Is Felix planning to come find him? Is this why Felix called him?
Making a decision immediately, Levi said directly, "Felix, stay where you are and wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, Levi rushed out and left the apartment through the hall.
The apartment was noisy and immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the game about to start. Only Mahomes noticed Levi's figure, but before he had time to react, Levi had already walked away. He looked around with a look of astonishment on his face. , only to find that no one noticed the abnormality.
Kelsey was the exception, and he noticed it, but he looked at Mahomes in confusion and shrugged to show his ignorance.
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.
Running all the way.
Levi sprinted in the strong wind and arrived near the street intersection. He saw the car at a glance from a distance. It was wedged crookedly on the shoulder of the road and avoided the main road. It did not affect the traffic, but he could immediately see the abnormality.
The situation is not good.
Levi's heart was beating wildly. It was only a short distance, but he felt the energy in his blood burning crazily amidst the tension and uneasiness.
"Felix."
Levi slapped the driver's seat window hard, trying to wake up Felix who was lying on the steering wheel.
"Felix!"
The car door opened.
Levi suddenly grabbed the handle, opened the car door, and scanned it quickly. Felix was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water. His pale cheeks were filled with an abnormal red color, and he was pale and pale. The lips are in sharp contrast, and the whole person is gray.
"Felix, talk, what's going on? What's wrong with you?"
Felix raised his head and looked at Levi with a pair of red eyes in pain and despair. He didn't say a word, but just pulled up his shirt, revealing a wound on his abdomen.
Levi didn't know much about cancer treatment. This looked like a treatment or surgical wound, neatly bandaged, but at this time, the skin outside the bandaged mouth was sallow with a layer of gray and a dark red color. It can be judged without any knowledge of medical knowledge.
"Felix, the wound is infected, we need to call for help..."
Felix waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, don't..."
vomit.
Before he could finish his words, Felix began to vomit, vomiting out a ball of turbid and thick dark green liquid, which dripped on his clothes, as if his internal organs were about to be vomited out.
vomit.
Felix struggled to look at Levi and begged, "No 911, no...don't call my mother, no...Levi, please..."
Levi was stunned for a moment, and when he took out his mobile phone and was about to dial a number, he stopped and said, "Felix, what happened?"
Felix lay limply on the steering wheel and looked at Levi, "I, I just want to give you the jersey that Annie and the others drew."
"They drew it by hand and it took a whole afternoon. Each of us participated, not just you, but also other people's."
"We...we want to cheer for you..."
"But... I can't help it... I don't know what happened... I'm useless, I'm really useless..."
"Please, don't tell mom. I just want to prove that I am not a waste. I can do this by myself. I don't need mom to take care of everything. If mom knows..."
"If I end up in the ICU, I won't be able to go to Arrowhead Stadium and watch the game. Levi, please, please..."
Words, fragmented. Felix's face was red, his ears were red, he was out of breath, and his whole body was sweating profusely. It seemed that he could clearly see that his vitality was losing bit by bit.
tears. Snot. saliva. Vomit.
All mixed together, with red eyes, Felix looked at Levi in despair and pain.
Levi shook his head and took a deep breath, "Felix, let's breathe and call 911."
Felix, "No!"
Levi, "I have to do this."
Felix wailed desperately, "No..."
But Levi had already turned around and took out his cell phone, "911, I need an ambulance, corner of Hudson Street and Canal Street, my name is Levi, my friend is in critical condition, please hurry up, okay? ?”
Felix pounded the steering wheel hard, "I hate myself...ah...ahhh..."
Once, again, and with all his strength, he couldn't even kill a mosquito.
Levi hung up the phone and looked at Felix who was struggling in pain——
This is the first time.
Since meeting Felix, this is the first time Levi has seen another side of him. It is not always smiling, always bright-eyed, or always full of confidence, but a child who has to face his own problems before he becomes an adult. Death steals every day from the fingers of death.
Felix wanted to always maintain humor and courage, face death calmly and positively, and show himself to be calm and smiling until the last moment, but... the reality is not like this.
Although everyone knows the horror of cancer, only the relatives and friends who are truly with the patient can understand the ferocity and horror of the disease.
They will seep into life bit by bit, and then allow themselves to change everyone around them beyond recognition and fall into despair uncontrollably.
All chicken soup for the soul is nonsense.
The ambulance finally arrived. The first responders recognized Levi immediately, but there was no time to get excited. They showed their professionalism, lifted Felix out of the driver's seat, moved him into the ambulance, and took the first step. Time began to treat the wound and give Felix fluids.
Levi also got on the bus.
Looking at Felix lying unconscious on the hospital bed, Levi swallowed all the words in his throat. He didn't know what to say.
come on? fighting? Hold on a little longer?
These words seem so hypocritical and light at this moment, with no power at all.
Standing in front of life, old age, illness and death, human beings seem so powerless and insignificant.
"Eh...ah..."
"It hurts so much. Wuwuwu, I, I really hurt, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Felix, who was always sunny and always brave, had tears falling from his eyes at this moment, whimpering softly, and his will was blurred.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best, but he still couldn't straighten his back.
"Mom, it really hurts..."
This is too cruel.
Levi couldn't imagine what Felix was going through, let alone what Karen had gone through over the years.
Death is as clear as ever. When you look up, you can see the God of Death standing at the end of the bed, overlooking the struggling ants like them.
Taking a deep breath, Levi barely regained his senses.
"It's okay, it's okay, Felix."
"There's no need to apologize, you did a good job, you're doing a great job now. You know, now I finally know why you are a true chief, so brave, so strong, just hold on, just a little more ”
"God, imagine how happy and happy the players are when they see the jerseys you prepared. We always admire your courage..."
