Chapter 739: War and Chaos
For the first time, Levi felt stupid.
Because Levi didn't know what to say, any words he spoke seemed pale and weak, and any encouragement or comfort seemed condescending.
But the problem is that apart from "come on", his mind is blank. Standing in front of the disease and death, he can do nothing to help.
So clumsy, so helpless. How stupid.
In a daze, Felix regained a little bit of himself, looked at the two medical staff in the ambulance, and curled up the corners of his mouth.
"This is Levi, our rookie Levi."
The medical staff on the left glanced at Levi, "Yes, I know." Then he looked at Felix, "He is the pride of our Kansas City."
Felix showed a satisfied smile, "And I am Levi's friend."
That little show off made the two medical staff smile, "Yes, we noticed it and we are very envious."
The conversation that was going on normally one second turned into vague soliloquy the next second, and Felix, who was half asleep and half awake, jumped back and forth between light and darkness.
"I need to fight, just like a rookie, I won't give in easily."
"But it hurts, it really hurts."
"sorry."
Whimpering muffled and low.
Levi sat helpless and looked up at the two medical staff, but they couldn't help. "We have to wait for the medicine to take effect."
"Rookie. Rookie..." Felix called out in a low voice.
"We're going to win, right?"
Levi was stunned for a moment. He couldn't keep up with Felix's thoughts. It took him a moment to realize that Felix was talking about next week's divisional round.
"Can you tell me a little bit about our game against Indianapolis? Did we win? How did the game go?"
Felix was confused.
In the previous sentence, Felix clearly knew that the divisional round had not started yet; in the next sentence, Felix thought that the divisional round had ended.
Levi wanted to tell Felix the truth, but the words couldn't come out.
"...It was a tough game, but you know our Chiefs, we refused to give up, we refused to surrender, we always fought until the end at Arrowhead Stadium, and we always showed our toughness..."
Gradually, gradually, Levi saw peace on Felix's cheeks.
Suddenly, Levi's heart contracted and he looked up at the two medical staff——
Could it be?
"The medicine has taken effect, you continue." The medical staff on the left lowered his voice and explained.
Levi let out a breath and tried to keep his voice calm as he continued.
In Levi's voice, Felix stopped struggling or talking, his eyebrows relaxed, and they rushed all the way to the hospital.
There was a period of chaos and chaos.
It wasn't until everything was done, Felix entered the ward, the doctors were busy, and nothing could be seen anymore. Levi sat down in the lounge, and relaxed a little from his tension and anxiety. Only then did he realize the tightness of his muscles and try to Relax a little, but find that this is not easy.
After waiting for a while, Karen could be seen in the distance leaving the intensive care unit, exhausted, and walking towards her with heavy steps.
At a glance, Karen saw Levi standing up quickly.
Karen knew how difficult this matter was. Only by experiencing it personally could one understand what the process was like. The patient was in pain and the patient's relatives were also suffering. What's more, Levi doesn't need and shouldn't face such a thing.
For a moment, Karen couldn't describe her feelings, gratitude, guilt, fear, anxiety; at the same time, there was a trace of resentment deep in her heart. She knew she shouldn't. This had nothing to do with Levi, it was completely Felix himself. But as long as she thought that Felix might leave forever because of this, she still couldn't control herself.
The complicated emotions left Karen mentally and physically exhausted.
But in the end, she opened her arms and gave Levi a hug——
"Thanks."
It's not Levi's fault. Moreover, without Levi, things might have been even worse.
Karen forced herself to calm down and regain her sense. She had just circled around the God of Death today, so there was no need to let the devil come out to join in the fun.
Levi was still not used to the hug, so he tried to let go, only to find Karen hugging him tightly, his body trembling slightly, and the fear of the aftermath was still running rampant in his body.
Thinking about it, Levi didn't resist and hugged Karen.
In the end, Karen took the lead in letting go of Levi. She had already gained control of herself, but the slightly red corners of her eyes still revealed the turbulent emotions she had just felt.
Levi took a deep breath and asked, "How is he doing now?"
Karen, "He, he is fighting. The situation is very difficult, the blood pressure is very low, his heart..." Before he could finish the words, Karen held her breath.
Levi felt a little uncomfortable, "What did the doctor say?"
Karen hurriedly cleaned herself up, "We still need to observe and see how his body responds to the medicine, and then perform chemotherapy. We need to see the effect of the treatment step by step. Now..." Almost collapsed, Karen quickly took a deep breath In one breath, "Now we have to take it one step at a time."
"Oh, God."
Karen couldn't control herself after all, and there were tears in her eyes.
"I know, I know I sound like a greedy bastard. When he relapsed, the doctor said he might only have ten months at most. We can only take it one step at a time. Now it's over eleven months. I It’s been a month since I was stolen from death, and he’s still by my side.”
"but……"
"But I really hope Felix can stay. I can't bear to part with him. I'm not ready to send him away..."
"He shouldn't. He's only seventeen years old. His life has just begun. He shouldn't face this..."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I really... can't..."
As she spoke, Karen trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Levi couldn't help but hold his breath and gritted his teeth tightly before he managed to calm down, "Karen, he's still fighting, right?"
"Felix is a tough and tenacious guy. He keeps fighting and persists. Even though he knows the outcome, he still doesn't give up."
"We should be with him and finish this battle together. Just like a team."
Karen looked at Levi, tears glistening slightly in her eyes, and she reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth, "Just like the chief?"
As never before, Levi felt that the team was closely connected with the city and the people living on this land. The team was not only a professional team in competitive sports, but also an inseparable part of their lives. His family and life closely revolve around the team.
It is precisely because of this that when the Oakland Raiders announced that they were about to relocate to Las Vegas, that city fell into deep despair.
Also because of this, the team's victory and defeat, rise and fall are not just about winning or losing, but more of a sustenance and belief in life.
Therefore, players can treat the game as a job and a business cooperation, but at the same time, they can also shoulder the weight of a city and fight side by side.
Now, Levi could understand, and then he nodded in affirmation, "Just like the chief."
