At midnight the streets seemed wide and empty, and the dim lights and moonlight scribbled a vague outline of the city in the thick of the night, as if the buildings and lights had all become taller, and the cars were running as fast as beetles that had accidentally broken into the kingdom of giants, and the whole world became different.

With no traffic jams, it took less than 15 minutes to get from one hospital to another. It's a lot faster than you think.

"Sugar Candy, I want to go in by myself." Candace had just finished parking the car at the entrance of the hospital and was about to get out of the car to help, when she heard Lu Ke's voice, which made her movements pause slightly.

Candace turned her head to look at Lu Ke, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure." Lu Ke said firmly.

During this journey, Lu Ke hopes that he will go to Ryan's side.

Candace thought about it seriously, and finally chose to trust Lu Ke's judgment, "I'll take the wheelchair out of the back compartment first." ”

This was the first time Candace had taken care of an injured patient, her movements seemed a little clumsy and hasty, and the weight of the wheelchair was beyond imagination, but she did not waver at all, her expression was busy with concentration, the sweat on her forehead was slightly oozing wet with some broken hair, and her pretty face was a little embarrassed at this time, but it bloomed with incomparable beauty.

"What's wrong?" Candace placed the wheelchair next to the passenger seat, and then saw Lu Ke's bright eyes focusing on her motionlessly, and she asked inexplicably.

Lu Ke didn't speak, just motioned for Candace to come closer, and then closer, seeing Candace bend over and approach, Lu Ke grabbed Candace's neck, and left a deep imprint on the ruddy lip flap, and the hot breath was entangled and blended with each other, until the breathing almost began to be rapid, and then they separated.

Lu Ke whispered in Candace's ear, "Thank you." ”

Candace's earlobes were slightly red, nodded invisibly, and then helped Lu Ke out of the passenger seat and sat in the wheelchair, she gave way to the position, stood next to the car door, and pointed to the temporary parking space next to it, "I'll wait for you there, if there is a situation, call me at any time." ”

Lu Ke nodded in understanding, and awkwardly pushed the wheelchair into the hospital hall.

At midnight, the hospital hall seemed a little empty, and the swaying echo made a little trivial movement obvious, revealing a sense of loneliness and loneliness, Lu Ke wandered in the empty hall for a while, and then found the direction where the elevator was, but after entering the elevator, his thoughts reacted:

He had no idea where Ryan was now.

When Ryan used to come to visit, Ryan was in the rehabilitation department; But tonight was different, and he couldn't have found Ryan in the rehab department.

At the thought of this, the feeling of sadness became real again, and it pressed heavily against his chest, like a lump of ice in his stomach, and continued to sway, and the chill made all his organs curl up.

Lu Ke had to reopen the elevator, return to the hall, identify the direction, and find the front desk on duty, "Good evening, I'm here to visit...... Friend's. Excuse me, Ryan Baldwin is in the inpatient unit now? Or is it somewhere else? Baldwin. ”

The nurse on duty was stunned, and her thoughts were a little unturnable - after leading the San Francisco 49ers back to the top of the Super Bowl, it is really difficult to know Lu Ke in this city, and when they were on duty tonight, they were secretly watching the season opener in the duty room.

"Uh...... Excuse me, I mean, are you his ......" The nurse on duty had her brain turning a half-beat slowly, she knew who the man in front of her was, and she knew who Ryan Baldwin was, she knew everything that had happened today, but now, she didn't know what to do with the situation in front of her.

"Friends." Lu Ke still replied seriously, "We are friends. Hope to come and see him...... For the last time. ”

"I'm sorry." The nurse on duty was still a little flustered, "I mean, I'm sorry for your loss. "Then I quickly looked it up on the computer," Ryan Baldwin, he ...... Well, he's still in the ward, and hasn't been transferred yet, ward 1114 in Building B. ”

"Thank you." Lu Ke politely thanked him, and then pushed the wheelchair to the elevator.

The nurse on duty raised her head to look at Lu Ke's departing back, her head still couldn't keep up with the rhythm, she didn't even know that she should notify her other colleagues on duty, "Bambi has appeared"; I should still sigh at Lu Ke's sincerity in personally coming over to escort Ryan on his last journey at midnight, so he stood in place in a daze, watching Lu Ke's back disappear behind the elevator door.

The white lights, the white walls, the white corridors, the whole space did not detect any figures and sounds, the whole world fell into a dead silence, the sight was blue and white, like ripples, it seemed that time and space had lost their meaning, just walking in the endless black hole corridor, the sound of wheelchair wheels rubbing against the ground rolled dullly, but the air was still dull and suffocating, and it was hard to move at all.

Little by little, the temperature of the blood decreased, so much so that the heart began to freeze into ice.

No. 1114.

Lu Ke found the target ward, but the action of pushing the wheelchair stopped, and he was suddenly stunned, "No. 1114", split into No. 11 and No. 14, these are the two jersey back codes of Lu Ke's career, one in college, one in the professional team, and now it has become the last stop for Ryan's farewell.

Faintly, Lu Ke only felt that his nose was slightly sour.

Gently push open the door of the ward, and at a glance you can see Jonathan Baldwin sitting next to the window.

Jonathan sat quietly in his chair like this, without any special expression or demeanor, bathed in the bright and cold moonlight, and the silhouette of his body projected a shallow silver shadow, like a silent lake, sparkling, without catching any trace of ripples, and thus fell into the trap of time.

Sensing the movement coming from the door of the ward, Jonathan raised his head, and then saw Lu Ke who appeared in front of him, but he still didn't make any special movements, just gently pulled a smile at Lu Ke - however, he failed, and the corners of his mouth just weakly outlined a slight invisible arc, and disappeared before he could rise up.

There was no sadness, no anger, and no pain, but in that peaceful calm, there was a faint revelation of lingering loneliness and loneliness, and that sadness and despair gently tore a hole in the heart, and it hurt terribly.

"Hey, Jonathan. Can I come in? Lu Ke parked the wheelchair at the door and asked from afar.

Jonathan opened his mouth, still unable to make a sound, only nodded his head in agreement.

Lu Ke pushed the wheelchair into the ward, looked around, and then landed on the bed by the window in front of the left, Ryan lay peacefully and calmly, the white sheet had not been pulled up, as if he was just asleep, everything had not changed, just asleep.

Lu Ke stopped in front of Jonathan, a thousand words but couldn't find a beginning, countless scenes and countless ways were preset in his mind, but now there was only a blank left, he suddenly realized that words were so pale and powerless, and there was no way to convey even a little warmth.

"Bambi, Ryan is gone." Jonathan finally found his voice, just like a traveler who has wandered in the desert for a long time, almost in despair, the hoarse voice came out from the depths of the dantian, he looked at Lu Ke in a daze, and then turned his head to look at Ryan, and repeated again, "Ryan is gone." ”

A simple sentence, but it is so heavy that people can't breathe.

"Ryan is gone."

Jonathan unconsciously repeated the same sentence, as he spoke, tears broke through the shackles of his eyes and slid down hotly, but he still didn't seem to realize his embarrassment, his voice was still repeating calmly, and the focus and focus could no longer be found in those tear-filled eyes, as if the soul had extinguished its brilliance.

"Jonathan......" Lu Ke found himself powerless for the first time, no words could change the current situation, and there was not even the slightest comfort.

But Lu Ke's voice pulled the trigger, breaking Jonathan's calm, and then the whole person collapsed like this, sitting helplessly and sadly, crying bitterly. Jonathan, a strong and sharp middle-aged man, a tough man who stands up to the sky, is completely disintegrated and crying bitterly at this time.

There was no sound, only tears, it seemed that he had lost his voice, and he just complained silently, but the hot tears couldn't be stopped, and the heart-rending pain made Lu Ke a little unbearable.

"Jonathan, Ryan is a fighter, remember? He fought until the last moment! He's going to keep fighting, in another arena; And now, we need to keep fighting, on this battlefield. Lu Ke's voice also became hoarse unconsciously, and he endured great grief and said unswervingly, "Jonathan, I will continue to fight, believe me, I will continue to fight!" ”

Jonathan gritted his teeth, kept nodding, continued to nod, raised his hand to wipe the tears on his cheeks, but the tears couldn't be wiped away, and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, "I know." I know I know I know I know ......" took a deep breath, "Bambi, go and say goodbye to Ryan, he'll be happy that you'll be able to come over and see him off for the last time." ”

A simple sentence, but it consumes all Jonathan's energy.

Lu Ke nodded in understanding, pushed the wheelchair and turned around, and then saw Ryan who was calmly falling asleep.
