Chapter 780: Not Goodbye
Quietly, staring at that pale face, Levi finally found his inner peace, and he was able to face everything before him calmly.
"...But, Annie, you are wrong."
"You were a wonderful being and you should not and will not be forgotten so easily."
"It's an honor to meet you, and I hope you don't mind me calling myself a friend. In the future, I hope to show off to others, 'Hey, do you know Anne Galas? That's an amazing person. Awesome girl.'"
"Please allow me to be proud of myself for a moment."
"However, I will not stand still, I will not stay in sadness and refuse to move forward. Life will continue after all, and dreams are still waiting to be realized, right?"
"Hey, don't forget, we are still going all out to defend our title."
He will continue to fight, he will continue to fight, he will continue to step onto the field, face setbacks and challenges, and fight back with all his strength again and again——
Refusing to surrender, refusing to give up.
Also, refuse to stop.
Only this time, it's a little different. Not only will he fight for himself, but he will also shoulder Annie's dream and fight side by side with Annie.
Taking a deep breath, Levi stood up, looked at Annie again, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a call came from the window——
"Levi."
"Levi!"
Levi quickly stepped towards the window sill and pushed open the window. A gust of biting cold wind hit his face. He could hardly open his eyes and goosebumps spread out all over his body.
Taking a deep breath and barely opening his eyes, Levi could see in the small garden behind him, Annie, wearing a red jersey number 23, holding a football in her hand, showing a bright and bright smile, constantly waving her arms to Levi.
"Levi, come down quickly. I'm going to watch you run the ball and score a touchdown with my own eyes."
Levi was stunned.
His voice was stuck in his throat, he was in a daze, and he didn't know how to respond.
"Ha ha."
Anne's hearty and bright laughter echoed in the air, and she waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.
"Then I will appear first, hurry up."
Without stopping, Annie turned around and started running full of energy.
Sprint, sprint again, run all the way vigorously, faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared.
Levi's eyes only had time to catch a tail, and subconsciously, his upper body leaned out of the window.
"Annie!"
Unexpectedly, a strong wind rushed towards his face and pushed him back forcefully. All his thoughts and soul were stuffed back into his body, and he was panting.
At this time, when I looked out the window, there was no one, only a hazy night, and the boundless night seemed empty and lonely.
However, his heart was beating wildly and there was a roar above his eardrums.
The knees were shaking slightly and felt slightly weak.
Levi turned around and leaned against the window sill, looking at Anne who remained silent. His heart slowly returned to his chest, and mixed emotions rippled on his tongue.
Finally, he realized, it was over, really.
Then.
Levi returned to the bedside and looked at Anne's appearance carefully with his eyes, trying to remember this face firmly with his own eyes.
The blue blood vessels under the pale cheek seemed to be pulling the life force away from the depths of the soul bit by bit, and dissipated in the air bit by bit; but there was still a stubbornness and tenacity between the eyebrows, which seemed to be louder. Laugh, laugh at the god of death standing in front of you.
"Don't worry, no one can stop me." "Remember? 'You will never walk alone', there is always someone fighting beside me, and you will also witness this journey with me, right? So, I don't Will stop, never."
Then.
Bending down, Levi gently kissed Annie's forehead.
"Good night, Anne-Gallas."
Not goodbye.
Because Levi knew that Anne would continue to fight side by side with them.
Looking up, Levi could see Mahomes and Kelsey standing at the door.
Mahomes turned his head and stared awkwardly at the wall beside him. He only dared to use the corner of his sight to secretly glance at the scene in the ward.
Kelsey stood at the door with a complicated expression, her body obviously stiffened, and she did not dare to cross the thunder pool easily. After all, she still lacked some courage.
Sensing that Levi was coming towards him, Kelsey raised her gaze and glanced at Levi, took a deep breath, stepped forward, passed Mahomes in front, strode straight into the room, and walked towards Annie. .
Mahomes glanced quickly at Kelsey and then looked away.
Levi walked over, patted Mahomes on the shoulder, lowered his voice and said softly, "That's Annie. Just like before."
Mahomes glanced at Levi hesitantly.
Levi gave Mahomes an encouraging look and took off.
At the door, Jeff was still facing the wall, sinking into pain and unable to extricate himself.
Although he still hesitated, although his words were still light and powerless, now that Levi had found the strength, he looked over calmly.
"Jeff, it's not your fault."
Jeff trembled slightly, and his whole body froze. The muscles from his neck to his arms were completely tense. He couldn't see his face, but he seemed to be able to see his expression.
Levi took a deep look at Jenna who was stunned and out of body. After all, he didn't say anything more and just said in a low voice.
"Thanks."
Thank you Jenna for still being willing to inform him despite her grief, and thank you Jenna for letting him, an outsider, say goodbye to Anne, because he knows how difficult and torturous this moment is for the Gallas.
Then, Levi took a step forward and could no longer stay here. There was no oxygen and it was suffocating.
Jenna raised her head in confusion, looked at the back of Levi walking away with his head held high, and held her breath:
She seemed to see Annie, wearing the red jersey No. 23, with her hair neatly tied into a A man with a high ponytail ran wildly in the hospital corridor, his silver bell-like laughter continued to surge, turned around and shouted to Levi, "He is here, he is there, he is everywhere, he is the edge walker, Levi Levi Levi."
Again and again.
The overflowing vitality surged in the singing, and there was no more restraint or pain. Anne could finally run freely and freely in the sunshine.
Jenna was stunned for a moment, staring blankly into the depths of the corridor, and couldn't help but murmured, "Annie..."
Her vision was blurred, Jenna looked at Levi's back, time seemed to have paused, and she quietly watched the figure fading away.
Jeff noticed the movement and turned around, "Jenna?"
Jenna looked at Jeff subconsciously, "Annie, Anne is there."
Jeff looked along Jenna's line of sight, but saw nothing. His heart was pounding. He took a deep breath, sat down next to Jenna, and hugged her tightly into his arms. He pressed harder and harder, as if Use all your strength and energy.
Levi's footsteps did not stop, and he left the ward in a hurry, almost running away, and walked towards the parking lot, preparing to wait for Kelsey and Mahomes in the car.
The night is fading.
The whole city seemed quiet and peaceful, with cars passing by and people still singing. The dim street lights supported the night, showing off the city's skyline.
Although some people's lives have pressed the pause button and are forever frozen tonight, forever frozen at the age of eleven, and they don't even have the chance to experience the turbulent waves of adolescence and come to an end early; but thousands of lives are still going on, providing services for their families. Run for your dreams and live hard.
"...Who, who is there?"
