Chapter 781 Bloody
A gust of wind blew in my face, and the biting cold penetrated my body along the pores. The blood without temperature froze into ice, and goose bumps popped out.
However, Levi was completely unaware of it. He had no intention of paying attention to this at this moment. He just hurried forward and stumbled into the night.
Until he caught a shadow in the corner of his vision, like the god of death, waiting quietly at the door of the hospital, grabbing Levi's heart.
"...Who, who is there?"
In the hazy night, the figure was huddled beside the steps at the entrance of the hospital. His thin body seemed unable to bear the weight of the night, and was almost completely crushed and then swallowed up. His body was trembling slightly, and even his vitality was slowly disappearing in the night. The spots dimmed and dissipated, like candles in the wind.
That, obviously, is not the Grim Reaper.
He braked and stopped. Levi turned around and took a closer look. The figure was vaguely outlined in the hazy halo of hospital lights and moonlight.
Can't help but doubt my own eyes.
"...Felix?"
As soon as he called out, the image in his mind became clear.
"Felix!"
Levi stepped forward quickly and looked around, but did not see Karen. Felix didn't even bring his wheelchair, but just fell on the cold steps.
How did Felix get here?
But now it was too late for Levi to think about this matter. The trembling Felix in front of him was even more worrying, and his heart suddenly contracted.
An uneasiness quickly took over his entire chest.
"God, Felix, are you okay?"
As he stepped forward, he took off his coat, wrapped Felix tightly, then raised his head, preparing to enter the hospital to find a wheelchair.
Felix couldn't stay outside all the time.
"Why are you sitting here alone? Let's go in first..."
Unexpectedly, Felix grabbed Levi's arm and stopped him.
Levi sat back without knowing why and looked at Felix.
Felix raised his head, twitched the corners of his mouth, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "I...I don't dare."
Don't dare?
What are you afraid of?
Levi didn’t understand.
Felix took a deep breath, "It should be mine. It shouldn't be Annie, it should be me."
"She...how could she...no, this is wrong, it should be me."
Before he could finish his words, Felix's right hand, which was like a dead branch, grabbed Levi's arm tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and looked at Levi blankly.
Then, it collapsed.
There was no expression, no words, tears burst directly into his eyes and fell on the back of Levi's hand, almost being burned.
That kind of despair, that kind of pain, roared past in a devastating way, all the strength and courage were shattered, and the resistance was completely lost.
Levi couldn't breathe, "No, Felix, it's not like that."
However, there was no light in Felix's eyes, and he just shook his head slightly.
"That's not fair."
One sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting his chest hard.
"This, I'm not fair. It should be me. Annie has gotten better, hasn't she? Annie always cooperates with all the hospital's treatments, doesn't she? The doctor said that this round of chemotherapy has already seen results, isn't it? ”
"But...why?" They asked each other one by one, asking questions one after another, but Li Wei had no answer for them all, and was as speechless as a fool.
"Things shouldn't be like this. She is only eleven years old. It will be her twelfth birthday in two weeks. We are still discussing how to celebrate. I am thinking about what birthday gift I should give her, but now Can’t send it out.”
"Levi, you say, how about I give Annie a signed jersey as a birthday gift? Not only you, but also all fifty-three players on the team, Coach Reed, and Vicky, everyone , no one should be missing, how about all of us being with her.”
"She'll love it, she'll love it."
"It shouldn't develop like this, it shouldn't end like this. No!"
One sentence, another sentence.
Felix fell into deep anger and despair, staring blankly at his stiff and straightened hands. The muscles in his whole body were tense to the extreme, as if his hands were covered in blood.
That kind of pain is heartbreaking.
Survivor guilt is really cruel.
But what's even more cruel is that even Felix himself is struggling on the line of life and death, with the invisible shadow of death still holding his throat.
It was obvious that Felix had done nothing wrong. Not only had he not done anything wrong, but he was also suffering tremendous pain. He had just narrowly escaped from hell; now he was suffering because of his own survival, as if he had taken away Annie's life, so that Breathing became a painful torture.
Words cannot describe that kind of struggle.
Levi took a deep breath, but his mouth was full of bitterness and he couldn't say a word.
Seeing Felix falling apart before his eyes, Levi also sat down on the steps, sitting next to Felix and providing him with a small harbor.
Felix carefully hid himself behind Levi's shoulder, hiding in the shadows, unable to control himself anymore, and cried muffledly.
He bit his mouth tightly and closed his lips tightly, using all his strength to control himself, crying silently, because it was too painful and too hard, his whole body curled up, but there was no sound at all.
"I can't...I dare not..."
"Sorry, I don't dare."
"I can't see her. In front of her, I feel like a coward. I don't even dare to fight decently..."
As he spoke, tears drowned his voice. Felix buried his cheeks in the palms of his hands, hiding all the pain and struggle.
Mahomes was rubbing his eyes when Kelsey, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He also stopped and followed Kelsey's line of sight.
At a glance, he saw two figures sitting on the steps, "Levi..."
The next second, Mahomes noticed Felix next to him. His suppressed and muffled cry tore through the air and hit his chest instantly.
Mahomes opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, his moist eyes were once again occupied by tears, and he turned around in embarrassment.
The memory of that funeral came to mind, and those scenes were still vivid. Felix thought that he might be the next target of death.
But I never thought that the girl with the sunny smile, the girl who said "I hope people forget me" strongly and confidently, the girl who was worried that her parents might never be able to go out, the girl who kept talking about wanting to go to Arrow Girls watching the game at the stadium...
Caught off guard, he left first.
Kelsey kept telling herself, move forward, step forward, there is nothing to be nervous or afraid about, and stepped forward to give the boy some comfort.
But he still stood there, motionless, as if there was a chasm in front of him. He finally stopped timidly.
He didn't like such cowardice. To be precise, he hated such cowardice.
Today, they have experienced too many such moments, the sadness, pain and anger reminding them again and again:
In fact, they are not that powerful. Even superheroes can't change their fate. What's more, they are not superheroes.
