Maybe because of the skyscrapers, the sky in New York always seems to be very close to the ground. It seems that as long as you reach out, stand on tiptoe, work harder, and work harder, you can touch the layers of clouds, which are so oppressive that you can't breathe. The Sinai Mountain hospital in front of us is just like this, shrouded in a swirling fog, as if the sky may collapse at any time, crushing it to pieces.

The white corridor looks deep and far away. It seems that it will never come to an end. As you walk, you can't help but feel timid. From a distance, you can see the figure of Ellie sitting on the bench, leaning powerlessly on the wall, holding her shoulders tightly. Her thin shoulders can hardly resist the cold in the hospital, trembling gently, revealing a sense of loss and helplessness.

In a trance, Lan Li seemed to see Ding Yanan. The illusion of that moment made his steps pause slightly.

The next second, Ellie's eyes caught the movement in the corridor. She looked up and was surprised. She blurted out, "blue Li."

Illusion broken, blue Li's steps continue to move forward, said hello, "Ellie."

Ellie stood up, opened her arms and gave lenley a big hug. "Sorry, thank you. I mean, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I really don't know what to do. You're here. Jesus Christ, thank you, thank you. I know, I shouldn't have called you, I know, but... But... "In the panic, Ellie was incoherent and didn't even know whether she should express her gratitude or apology.

"Ellie, Ellie." Lanli's warm and gentle voice gently calmed Ellie's mood. "Heather is my friend, and I'm glad to be able to help." Langley patted Ellie on the arm to comfort her. "Where's Derek? How are you? How's Heather? "

Ellie rubbed her sore temples. "Derek's out smoking. Jesus Christ, he has quit smoking for more than ten years He grumbled, but then closed his eyes, cut off his confused thoughts, and returned to the theme, "we're fine, Heather..."

Here, Ellie's voice choked for a moment. "Heather has passed the critical period. The doctor said that she should have woken up 48 hours ago, but she didn't. We don't know what happened. The doctor just said she didn't want to wake up. God, why doesn't she want to wake up? " Ellie's right hand, covering her mouth, began to shake violently, uncontrollably. "I want her to wake up, I want my baby to wake up."

Lanli took out the handkerchief from his coat pocket, handed it to him, and whispered, "Ali, Heather will wake up. Did you forget? She's the strongest and bravest one in the cross family This is Ellie's own words. As a bystander, she always praises her daughter with pride and pride when she sees Heather go through rehabilitation and pain again and again.

Ally nodded, but choked and speechless.

After watching Ellie wipe off her tears, lanli then asked, "what's the matter, doesn't it mean Heather's recovery is very good? The results of rehabilitation are also positive? "

Ellie shrugged her shoulders, her face revealed helplessness, "the doctor said that the disease suddenly worsened, not the function of limbs, but the ability of swallowing and speaking. The whole throat system was attacked, and breathing began to become difficult. They also have no way to prevent, even rehabilitation, the role is very limited. Then, then... "

The following words can no longer be said, and are stiffly cut off again. A mouthful of phlegm, and then things came to what they are now.

"It's getting worse so fast, just in three weeks, even worse than the cumulative situation in the past three years." Ellie's eyes were so dazed that she couldn't seem to find the focus. "A few days ago, she was still preparing for the audition of" American Idol ". Even if her illness worsened, she was not willing to give up. She said that she wanted to stand on that stage. She really wanted to stand on that stage, but..."

But I missed it.

"And next time. In September of this year, there is still a chance. " Lan Li said with a smile. Ali raised her head fiercely. There was a ray of hope in her eyes. "Really?"

The bitterness of the tip of the tongue surged up again, and lanli bit the tip of the tongue. "Ellie, we have to believe in Heather. It's the only way. " If even they lose their confidence, how can Heather stick to it?

Ellie nodded hard, clenched her fist, straightened her back, and said firmly, "I believe in Heather. She always refuses to give up the one. She still has a dream that hasn't come true. She'll get better. She will. "

Blue Li could not bear to avoid sight. Light up Ellie's hope again, is it cruel or kind? He couldn't tell, but he knew that he believed in Heather, and that the stubborn girl would certainly stand up again, refuse to bow to fate, refuse to surrender to death.

"Ali, may I go in and see Heather?" Lan Li pointed to the ward behind him and asked politely.

"Of course." Ellie wiped the tears off her cheeks in a panic. "Two little guys are in there with her. The doctor said that Heather can hear us and we need to communicate with her to make her strong and willing to wake up. So the two little guys are telling a story to heather

Langley walked forward, through the glass window of the ward, and then saw two small figures, Anne silyman and Alex Ricky, sitting side by side, dancing and telling stories; Push open the door, the clear and transparent voice came over, "... Little rabbit, wake up."

"No, no, the little rabbit is still sleeping. The tortoise is walking faster and faster. The bunny didn't wake up that fast

"But, if Bunny doesn't wake up, she'll lose."

"Yes, so the rabbit lost. You little fool, the story is about the rabbit lost

"Why, I don't like it. I still like bunny. I hope Bunny can win the race Annie's Pink mouth cocked up, and she could almost hang an oil lamp and recite it. Then she suddenly became happy, and her whole face bloomed like a sunflower! You're back! "

Annie jumped off the stool and trotted all the way into lanli's arms. Lanli immediately squatted down. Annie held lanli's neck tightly and whispered, "lanli, Heather is sleeping. She's really lazy. She doesn't want to wake up. Anita said that Heather is just like sleeping beauty, waiting for us to wake her up. So Alex and I are telling her a story

"Hee hee, hee hee." Alex is still sitting in the chair, seems to be a little shy, and then to see blue Li waved, he just jumped down, stumbling into blue Li's left arm.

Langley patted Alex on the head. "How about you? Are you all right? Do you need to come back to the hospital? "

"No! I'm strong now! I'm stronger than everyone else in my class, except... Edward and Henry. " Alex was also showing off, looking at Lan Li with his eyes full of expectation. He seemed a little nervous.

Then, lenley nodded, "I knew Alex was the strongest, even stronger than Captain America." Alex's young face suddenly brightened up, raised his chin, pursed his mouth, and did not speak, but his eyes revealed his inner joy.

"You two are tired of telling stories. Next, I'll tell Heather a story. Why don't you take a break? " Lan Li looked around at the two little guys and respectfully asked for their opinions. After they were confirmed, he watched them leave the ward.

In the room, it was quiet again, leaving only Langley and heather.

He came to the bedside and sat down. Looking at the quiet and peaceful Heather, she seems to be a sleeping beauty. Her skin is crystal clear and her eyelashes are thick and slender. She is waiting to wake up her prince. Lanli's mouth was slightly tilted. "Heather, for sleeping beauty, hasn't your hair been cleaned and combed for a long time? I think if the prince comes, he should be scared away. "

Boring stupid joke, but Heather did not make complaints about it, nor did he directly Tucao, still quietly sleeping.

Lan Li couldn't help but keep silent. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.

"The audition for" American Idol "will start tomorrow. Don't you plan to participate? Are you sorry? Still feel, do not have confidence to sing my song well? I think it must be the latter. If you ask me for my opinion, I suggest you give up your guitar. Your guitar is terrible. Let's just sing, or singing is more important. "

……

"I won the prize in Berlin. I told you a long time ago that I am an actor, not a singer. See, I'm still more suitable for acting, even Berlin has approved. However, I don't think you will like that work. At least, it's not as good-looking as crazy love. My personal suggestion is that if you meet a boy you like in the future, you'd better not take him to watch "crazy love". I don't think it's a good idea. Even if you like it very much. "

……

"Grammy is going to be presented this weekend. I was going to attend and join in the fun. But now it seems that you're not very interested. Maybe I shouldn't attend. I'd better make a cup of coffee at home and read a book. "

……

He talked to himself and never got a response. This kind of heather is really unaccustomed to. She lies so quietly, there is no response, no movement, and even can hardly hear her breath.

"This is not the heather I know." Lan Li gently pulled the corner of his mouth and said jokingly, "the heather I know is a soldier who keeps fighting and fighting and will never give up; I know that Heather, she is a warrior, she is braver than any of us, so that I feel small. But what about you? You're just... Lying there, accepting all this and giving up resistance? "

"No, you're not Heather cross. You are a coward
