Chapter 778: Falling apart
The corridor is long, narrow and empty, with white walls and pale lights that blur the boundaries. You can’t see the end at a glance, and it seems to extend infinitely to the end of the world.
Involuntarily, he stepped lightly, but the rustling sound still echoed in the quiet space. The weird and evil breath quietly climbed up his arms, goosebumps popped out crazily, and the hair on his hair stood up.
From a distance, Levi saw Jenna at a glance.
That woman who is always elegant and quiet, no matter how tired, painful or helpless she is, her hair is always neat and her clothes are always clean. Her thin shoulders are as straight as poplars, and she faces the situation with her head held high. Through all the wind and rain, I will never lose my composure.
At this time, she was sitting hunched on the chair, her shoulders collapsed as if she could no longer bear the weight, her hair on her temples was loose and free from restraints, her eyes were looking ahead blankly, and she no longer had any energy.
His face was pale, his eyes were red, his dry lips were cracked with grooves, and there were layers of dead skin, but it didn't seem to matter anymore.
It's just a figure, but it's unbearable to look at.
Kelsey stopped in an emergency and turned around, unable to bear to continue watching; Mahomes looked at Jenna at a loss, but could not help.
Levi took a deep breath, regained his senses, came to Jenna, squatted down carefully, found those eyes in the void, and called out softly.
"Jenna?"
However, Jenna did not respond. Even if Levi was right in front of her, her eyes had no focus, as if they could penetrate Levi and fall on a black hole of nothingness——
No soul can be seen.
Those eyes were just sore, but not a single tear could be seen.
Levi couldn't help but feel sad. He couldn't even bear to disturb Jenna, he just felt cruel. However, he was equally unsure whether it was a better choice to just let Jenna lose herself in sadness.
Finally, Levi patted Jenna's knee gently.
Jenna was startled and took in a breath of cold air. Like a startled butterfly, the focus of her eyes scanned and searched randomly, and finally landed on Levi's face in panic. She randomly grabbed a ray of dawn in the darkness, and the corner of her mouth He raised his head dryly and showed a difficult smile.
A ray of hope lit up in those red eyes.
"Ah, Levi..."
"Levi! You are here, Anne...Anne is waiting for you."
"Annie? Anne? Levi is here, Anne!"
Jenna looked around in a panic, unable to focus her vision. She was like a drowning person, shouting randomly and slapping the water randomly.
Levi was just sad.
Levi quickly patted Jenna's arm again to calm her down.
"Don't worry, I'll find Annie."
"Remember? Anne likes to hide and seek the most. She always hopes that we can find her. I am the best at this, leave it to me."
Jenna was a little confused and didn't know why, but she still tried to convince herself, "Annie likes it. Anne likes it. I know, Anne likes it the most."
Repeated it again and again, and then he sat quietly on the same spot, rocking his body back and forth, mumbling to himself.
Levi couldn't bear it, stood up, and turned around to see Jeff standing at the door of the ward.
Jeff was wiping his eyes, wiping the backs of his hands and forearms randomly, wiping away all the tears and snot in one go, but his whole body was still horribly haggard.
"Sorry, Jenna...she..."
Jeff tried to explain and apologize, but the words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to continue, hanging in the air without going up or down.
Levi nodded slightly and signaled with his eyes to stop Jeff from continuing to explain. Instead, he glanced into the ward and asked, "What happened?"
Jeff followed Levi's line of sight and turned around, took a deep breath but never spit it out, raised his hand and scratched his hair vigorously.
"Cancer cells occur."
"The condition worsened and began to attack her internal organs, and then her heart, until her body could no longer bear it." "Annie... was in pain, unimaginable pain, but she didn't cry or shout, she was just worried about me. And Jenna…”
"Oh, God..."
Jeff's words also became fragmented. He tried his best to control himself. He took deep breaths and kept taking deep breaths. His whole body was tense, but the pain firmly controlled his heart and words could not describe it at all.
"Three hours? Or four hours? Or six hours?"
"I...I don't remember...I hope Annie can continue to grow up, but...but...now at least Annie is no longer in pain..."
"Oh, Jesus Christ, I can't, I just... I just... I can't..."
Jeff no longer cared about politeness, turned around to face the wall, and stood there blankly, leaving only a silhouette of his back, shaking uncontrollably.
Levi's heart was firmly grasped.
He couldn't imagine what pain and torture Anne had gone through, and the scene described in a few words grabbed his throat.
Maybe they shouldn't be so surprised.
Remember? The opportunity for Levi and Anne to meet.
Felix said that one of his friends, whose condition had worsened, hoped to meet Levi. Levi agreed, and that friend was Anne.
From that moment on, Anne's condition was already in dire straits.
but.
Since they met, Anne has always been full of energy, always full of vitality, and has no signs of pain or suffering at all, so that they have completely forgotten about it. Anne has been fighting cancer. During her short life, Vitality is something I have long been accustomed to.
Until one day, she couldn't hold on anymore.
This fact concentrated on Levi in an instant, and he froze in place. He tried to close his fingertips and clenched his fist, but found that he could not move his fingers.
With a sudden movement, Jeff turned to look at Levi and tried to say something, but he still had no choice. He turned to face the wall again and muttered to himself.
"I should let her go to the game, I should fulfill her wish, I'm just...I'm too selfish, I just want her to be well, I just want to watch her lively, and then imprison her in the warmth 's house, but that doesn't help..."
"It won't help any damn thing, I...I shouldn't have stopped her..."
Over and over again.
Again and again.
Those mixed emotions surged through the internal organs, torturing the nerves.
despair. remorse. pain. Confused. struggle.
Jeff was falling apart, bit by bit, and Levi couldn't help.
Levi took a deep breath and said, "Jeff, can I go in and see Annie?"
Jeff turned back hurriedly, "Of course. Of course! Annie should be waiting for you." His eyes didn't stop at all, and he turned his head again and continued to face the wall.
Levi tried to comfort Jeff.
But suddenly, he found that at this moment, any comfort or persuasion was feeble, and might even be cruel and ruthless. They were still immersed in sadness, they were still immersed in pain, and they had not had time to accept and digest it. How can it be forgotten?
Even just saying "come on" may become a heavy burden.
Because no one knows what pain the Gallas couple has experienced, and no one knows how much the Gallas couple is suffering at this moment. They have no strength to continue to cheer, they just need some time and space to let them float in their sorrow. Shen Chen, that’s fine.
Those light words have no power at all in the face of real sorrow and pain.
