Don and Shania spent New Year's Day in the intensive care unit, which happened to be the most dangerous time for Donn, and neither of them was in the mood for the New Year. After a month in the hospital, at the end of January, Don finally got Stanley. With Dr. Meyer's approval, he was able to go home.

When the news of his imminent discharge from the hospital was announced, the entrance of the Royal College of Medicine, which had gradually deserted, was crowded again, and the media from all over the country rushed to photograph Tony. Donn's picture, because it was his first public appearance since he was admitted to the hospital. The reporters held back for a month and wanted to ask him, but they can imagine what the scene will be at the entrance of the hospital at that time.

In order not to cause trouble to the hospital, not to affect their normal work, in order not to be harassed by media reporters when they were discharged from the hospital, and in line with the bad taste of fighting the media to the end even if he has a heart attack, Don chose a very unexpected discharge time - half past one in the morning. Of course, the outermost court announced the time at half past nine in the morning.

The formalities had already been completed, and it was not until the time was up that he went downstairs and got into the car, accompanied by Shania. At half past one in the morning, outside the hospital, whether it was the main entrance or the side, or on the street, there was no one in sight. Sub-zero temperatures are enough to freeze the water, and no reporter would be stuck outside the hospital at such a time just to shoot Tony. Footage of Don appearing in public.

They picked this time and managed to dodge the reporters at the door and Stanley. Meyer and the other medical staff who had taken care of him during the month shook hands and thanked him, and quietly left.

Instead of going back to the house at 13 Bled Garden Street, the two went straight to the upscale residential area of the lace market and moved into the house that Shania had bought here.

Compared to where Donn used to live, not many people know about it. At least for a long time, Don didn't have to worry about being blocked at the door by reporters.

Everything was arranged. Stanley. Meyer wants this time to get Tony. Don recuperates. Don't do anything but recuperate. Leave it alone. It's best not to get in touch with reporters, and if the media really wants to know the latest news from him, they can just give it to Pierce. Bruce just called and said a few words, and Bruce would be more than happy to play "Tony. Don Plenipotentiary".

There are no newspapers about sports, I never switch to sports stations on TV, I insist on exercising for half an hour every day, quit smoking and drinking, go to bed early and wake up early. Develop a regular routine......

Don must start a new life here.

The specially hired medical staff also started to work, and Shania was able to rest completely.

And just like that, a month passed in a blink of an eye.

By the end of February, Shania thanked her fans who still cared about her through her official website, and revealed the time of her comeback at Milan Fashion Week in the spring.

Suddenly and willfully turned off part of her job, no matter what the big reason, it also made her lose most of the brand endorsements, as well as lose some popularity. The competition in this industry of modeling is very cutthroat. Even if she was famous, she had to start from scratch. Work the catwalk and use your strength to regain those endorsement contracts and popularity that have been lost.

Don was a little apprehensive, but Shania seemed confident and scrappy. After the relationship with Don was completely confirmed. She is in a good mood every day, even if she encounters difficulties at work, she doesn't take it seriously. If it weren't for Donn's health not being very good, she might have given her body to Uncle Tony a long time ago......

It's March onwards. Shania began to train actively to participate in the catwalk, and she was very busy with work. The task of taking care of Don was basically placed on the male nurse Albert. Douglas.

Speaking of this Mr. Douglas, it was Shania who was carefully selected and tested before deciding on the final candidate. The work was meticulous, and it was enough to toss Don at first. Later, Don found that he could only choose to give up when facing this more stubborn man than him, so he obediently obeyed. Forcing himself to quit smoking and drinking was a very painful thing, both physically and psychologically, and after a month, he finally found that he could sleep soundly without thinking about smoking and drinking.

In fact, for Donn, the best thing about Mr. Douglas is not his dedication and professional quality in the medical profession. It's that he, as an English man, can actually make authentic Spanish food! Don finally had a good mouth, and even Shania gave up the romantic idea of cooking and feeding Uncle Tony after tasting his meal......

Life is very dull. Every ten days, Donn went to the hospital for a follow-up with Douglas. Travel as low-key as possible, even if you are caught by reporters, don't talk much, wear sunglasses and keep a straight face to make yourself look more like a movie star than a football manager.

The feedback from the hospital was getting better and better, and the time interval between his visits for follow-ups was getting longer and longer. Two surgeries were carried out very successfully – one for heart disease. Install the pacemaker one at a time.

The last day of March. Don went to the hospital again for a follow-up.

After the examination, Meyer asked, "Mr. Donne." Why didn't you hear your disgruntled nagging about your life situation this time? Didn't you say that the nurse was too strict and didn't let you smoke and drink in the past, so you would kill you? Why not this time? ”

Tang En smiled, very proud: "I have stopped smoking and drinking for a long time, and I have completely quit." ”

"Congratulations, Mr. Donn. By the way, is there anything else you feel uncomfortable with in life? ”

Don hesitated for a moment before touching his nose and said, "I've been forcing myself to stay away from football for three months now, and I'm not used to it every day. ”

Stanley. Meyer smiled and nodded, "I don't think you will get used to it." Actually, I think you can start to gradually return to your old life. ”

Don didn't understand at first, but he reacted after a while, and was a little surprised: "You mean I can go back to work?" ”

Dr. Meyer shook his head, "No, that's not what I meant, Mr. Donne. I mean...... There is nothing wrong with your heart anymore, so start slowly adapting your body to that atmosphere from now on, but you still can't work...... It's actually about getting your heart warmed up from now on. ”

Don was a little frustrated. However, he quickly regained his optimism: "That's not bad, I can know what the Forest team is now......

Mayer was a little surprised: "You don't know yet? ”

"I never look at anything with the word football on it, how could I possibly know?"

Hearing Don say this, Meyer sighed: "I thought you would know more or less, but I didn't expect you to really block 'football' completely." ”

"Since you said yes, you have to do it. Don took it for granted.

"But that's fine. Mayer laughed again, "It's better for you to know for yourself than to hear it from someone else." Also, Mr. Donn. From today onwards. You don't need to come so often. It is also possible to re-check once every six months. It's really a 40-year-old body, and it's recovering faster than I thought. ”

Don was glad he could say that. It is only when you are sick that you can appreciate how important it is to be healthy. During this time, the greeting he most wanted to hear was definitely not "career success" and "Wishing you prosperity", but "I wish you good health".

Saying goodbye to Meyer and coming out of the hospital, Douglas went to the parking lot to pick up his car, while Don stood on the side of the street looking at the newsstand opposite.

The black pavilion was covered with colorful newspapers and magazines, but Don didn't cross the street to buy newspapers until Douglas drove the two white Mercedes jeeps.

Don't look at how excited he was with Meyer. When it came to him, he flinched. He was a little worried, having never heard of Nottingham Forest's recent situation, but he guessed it wouldn't be too good - it was bad enough when he was there, and he didn't think Don could do better than he did. Otherwise, when he had been banned for three games, Don would not have won a single game when he took over the team.

It's not hard to imagine that there is no money to bring in reinforcements. What kind of predicament will Nottingham Forest face if they suddenly lose their manager's land. This team was built by Donn, and he knows every part, every part, every person. If you close your eyes, you know that the team has not been doing well lately.

But he still felt that his heart was not fully prepared...... He was afraid that if he bought a newspaper, all the news that would come to him would be bad and could not be worse. Then he might have to be sent back to the hospital, but this time it was much easier. If you want to faint, you will pass out directly at the entrance of the hospital. Maybe he will also have the opportunity to see the power of a nuclear-powered pacemaker, and the power can directly make him **?

Douglas parked the car next to him and got down to open the door for him. He noticed that Donn's eyes had been on the newsstand across the street. So he asked, "Do you need me to go over and buy you some newspapers, Mr. Donne?" ”

Don shook his head and got into the car: "No, no need. Now is not the time. ”

When Shania returned from work in Milan, she had already re-signed three contracts with the world's most famous brands. Her own strength, popularity, and Mr. Faisal's methods made this trip to Milan very fruitful.

And this time when he came back, he learned that Don's heart was fine. She happily announced that she was going to take Uncle Tony back to Brazil for a vacation!

Don was taken aback. Of course, he knew that going back to Brazil for a vacation was actually just a reason, and since he was in Brazil, how could he not meet Shania's parents?

When the time comes, how should you face it? Even if Shania insists that her love doesn't need her parents to intervene, she will feel embarrassed as a man......

He still remembers the last time they met. It is clear that Shania's parents see themselves as friends who can take care of their daughter in the UK. When we meet again this time, our identity will change from "guardian" to "your daughter's future husband......

This gap is not something that everyone can readily accept.

But looking at Shania's excited little face, he couldn't refuse to say that he wouldn't go. I can only take a few summer clothes casually, and then bring the dutiful male nurse Douglas who can cook and cook and drive on the street to pick up things, work hard and never talk nonsense, and is very obedient. The next day, the three of them flew from England to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Same as the last time I came to Brazil. When I came out of the airport, I saw Shania's parents waiting outside. Seeing their parents. Shania threw down Don and pounced. Behaving like a child. Don stood a little awkwardly behind their daughter, accompanied by a serious-looking Douglas.

Wait a minute, what should I call the first sentence?

Shout "Bruce. Mr. Tenorio"? Doesn't it seem a little raw? How can I say that I am also his daughter's boyfriend......

Shouting "Dad"? No kidding! We're about the same age...... And the most important thing is that I and Shania are not married yet, what are you shouting about?

Directly shouting "Bruce"? The last time they met in Brazil, they called each other that, but ...... Now that I'm so affectionate with Shania's father, what's the matter?

Just when Donn was stunned, Bruce. Tenorio had already extended his hand to him: "It's a pleasure to see you safe and sound, Mr. Donn. ”

It's called "Sir...... Don thought to himself that the courtesy would be reciprocated. Then I'll call you sir.

So he also handed it over and shook it lightly with the other party: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Tenorio." It's been a long time......" His expression and tone of voice were still a little unnatural.

But Tenorio didn't seem to take it to heart. He handed his hand to Douglas behind Donne, "Hello, first meeting, Mr. Douglas. I'm Shania's father, Bruce. Tenorio. ”

Douglas shook hands lightly in return.

He's not the main character here, so naturally he doesn't have to worry too much.

Don looked at Shania, who was still in her mother's arms, and couldn't stop talking. Only then did he feel that the three of them were a family, and Shania was indeed their daughter. They really are Shania's parents too. Usually they are busy with their own things, and they don't see each other a few times a year, which always makes Don ignore Shania's parents. Now it seems that the person who has been neglected is a big problem...... From Mr. Tenorio's limited enthusiasm, he could predict that the trip to Brazil would not be easy for him.

Sunny waves, palm trees. Beach beauty bikini ...... On such a holiday, I would rather watch a football match at home in a cold, damp England......

Tenorio also laughed when he saw this: "Okay, let's go home and talk about it more." Joe. ”

Shania let go of her mother and returned to Donne. Then, naturally, he reached out and grabbed Donn's arm. In front of her parents. Don's body was still a little stiff, and he cautiously followed into the car. He hadn't forgotten to pay attention to it, and found that in front of everyone, neither Shania's father nor mother showed any displeasure. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sitting in the back row, snuggled up to by Shania. Don suddenly felt that his performance just now was too bad. Why can I still talk and laugh the last time we met, but this time I feel like a junior meeting an elder is so restrained?

However, Shania was very active all the way, clinging to Don closely. Like an octopus. Regardless of the slightest, there was a light bulb Douglas sitting next to him. It seems that she has made it clear that she wants to show her parents how far her relationship with Uncle Tony has developed.

On the way back, Tenorio and his wife were very concerned about Donn's health, and asked him about his heart. The atmosphere is harmonious.

When I got home, I settled down. Naturally, Shania lived in her own bedroom, and Don and Douglas slept in the guest room, so that Douglas could take care of Done.

After settling in, Douglas was smart enough to go outside to the terrace overlooking Copacabana Beach. There were four people left in the living room.

Don was alert, he knew the key was coming.

Shania's mother, Giselle. Tenorio looked at her daughter, "Little Joe." Do you have nothing to say to your parents? ”

Shania pouted. Then put his hand around Donne's arm again: "I thought I had done it obvious enough. ”

Don felt that he couldn't interject at all in such a family conversation. Like a stage prop, all he needs to do is show the bond between him and Shania, and then ...... It's best not to open your mouth.

Sania's father, Bruno. Tenorio spoke: "Actually, I'm not surprised. He put his hand lightly on his wife's hand, turned his head and said to her. "Our little Joe was very special when she was very young, she never played with boys her age. I remember asking her specifically why. Guess how she answered? She pouted and said 'they're too naïve'! Ha ha! ”

At this point, Mr. Tenorio finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

I can't forget the way nine-year-old Joe said this with a serious and somewhat disdainful look. "Bruno. Tenorio turned his gaze to Shania. "We also read that interview you did in Hollywood, Little Joe. I don't have much to say, it's your own business. Growing up, your mother and I rarely cared about you and gave you maximum freedom. It's the same today. You have the right to choose who you love and who you don't love, and your mother and I won't interfere. ”

Hearing him say this, Tang En let out a sigh of relief, and his tense body just now immediately relaxed.

Feel this change in him. Shania looked up at him and smirked at him.

"But your mother didn't call us back to tell us after she fell in love with someone, and she was still very upset, little Joe. Tenorio continued.

Shania grinned, "Didn't I just bring it back to show you?" Actually, I have another idea. I'm planning to marry Uncle Tony this year! ”

As soon as she said this, the two people on the other side were stunned. Don knew at first sight that this matter was estimated to have exceeded the expectations of the two parents. Looks like you can't relax yet......

"No way!" Barely on thought, Giselle blurted out this objection. And the smile that had been hidden from time to time on his face completely disappeared this time.

"Little Joe, I want you to reconsider this matter. Her father, Mr. Tenorio, also had a serious face.

"I knew ......" Shania shrugged and sighed. "The so-called right to liberty is nothing more than something inconsequential. Once you are in the most critical places you will do so. ”

"Jordana. Dad's tone quickly cooled. "We agree that you and Mr. Donn are in love. It doesn't mean that you have to accept your decision to get married right away. Marriage is a very serious matter, how can it be possible to make a decision so easily? ”

"Shania, you got married so early. What about your modeling career? And your career in Hollywood? Do you know what a woman has to pay once she gets married? It was her mother who said this.

Don remembered that Shania's mother used to be a supermodel, but since marrying her father, she has quit the modeling industry and rarely comes out again. Shania once said that her mother's line is of Chinese descent. It seems to be true. There are some traditional things that are not so easy to change......

Shania stiffens her neck and just doesn't compromise. Her stubbornness has also come up, and she has to do what she recognizes. "It's my freedom to fall in love with whom, and when is it not my freedom to get married? I just want to get married to Uncle Tony within this year, and I know what to do with work. I'm not a kid who doesn't know anything! ”

Seeing that the originally happy atmosphere was about to stiffen. Don had to cough: "I'm sorry...... Can you allow me to say a few words? After all, I have my share in this matter......"

All three turned their eyes to him.

Don scratched his head, then said, "Where is it better to start?" To be honest, it wasn't until more than three months ago that I really understood who I loved – and I was a bit of a dull person in that regard...... But Shania has been in love with me for five years, since the first time we met. The love between me and Shania was very special, at first I saw her as a junior, and sometimes I called myself her 'surrogate guardian' in England. After all, I'm twenty-two years older than her...... I won't be able to escape this age problem, I'm only ...... than you," he said, looking at Bruno. Tenorio, "A few years younger. Mr. Tenorio. It's a miracle that we were able to finally come together, especially after I experienced such a big thing as a heart attack, and Shania was always there for me, even at the cost of losing my endorsement contract. I am not religious, and I can only thank fate for it. ”

"I think I understand your worries and worries, but I also understand Shania's feelings. On September 9 this year, I just celebrated my 40th birthday. Half of my life is over. And I'm still a sick person. There is a pacemaker with a nuclear battery in it, and I don't know when it will suddenly ...... Sleep again. For Shania. I'm a man who is always in danger. She doesn't know when she's going to lose me. I don't know when I'm going to lose her all of a sudden. For two people like us, the time we can spend together now is extraordinarily precious, and we don't want to waste a single second. Shania was desperate to marry me, and she must have cherished the present. ”

"Shania loves me, and I love Shania. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing is more reassuring for me than to wake up and find my loved one by my side, and I cherish what I have now more than you can imagine - maybe you still have some doubts about my feelings for your daughter? In fact, I don't know how many years I have to live. But there's one thing I'm sure of...... Until I die, my feelings for Shania will not change. ”

Shania looked at Don's true confession in surprise, even when the two of them were alone, Uncle Tony always had to put on the prestige of an elder, and rarely said such straightforward words. She also thought that the Uncle Tony she fell in love with was a lump of wood, incomprehensible, and couldn't talk sweetly.

"So, out of consideration for cherishing the present. I beg you to agree to marry your daughter. Don straightened his back, sat on the sofa, and said solemnly to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Uncle Tony...... "Shania never imagined that Don would take the initiative to get married, and she thought that Deep down in her heart, Don didn't want to get married as soon as possible.

Shania's mother tried to say something, but her husband stopped her. Bruno. Mr. Tenorio smiled: "It is true that the head coach is known for his eloquence. I don't doubt your affection for my daughter, Mr. Donn. Just like I don't doubt my daughter's feelings for you. It's just that you haven't thought about it, and I didn't mean to curse you, but your body really can't be completely reassuring. In case one day you suddenly ...... What about our daughters? ”

"Daddy!" Shania jerked to her feet. She was very unhappy that her father would say such a thing.

Don took her hand and sat her down. Then he turned to Tenorio and said, "I can't promise anything about the future, so I'll just say that my feelings for Shania won't change until I die." But Mr. Tenorio, haven't you thought about it? No matter how healthy he looks now, he will die someday. Maybe I had a heart attack or some other incurable illness like me, maybe I had a car accident or some other accident...... I'm no different from them, and no one knows when they're going to die. No one knows in what form they will die. Instead of worrying about what happens after you die, it's better to live every day of your life. If it's just because you're worried about what will happen after you die, then everyone should not get married. He shrugged, "But rest assured, in order to enjoy my time with Shania more, I won't die so easily." My heart ......" he pointed to his left chest, and suddenly became arrogant. "My heart is nuclear-powered! As long as the elemental half-life is, so long is my love for Shania. ”

Shania suddenly hugged Donn. Bury her face behind his shoulder. She suddenly thought of what Mr. Faisal had said to himself that afternoon in the United States.

- Once you get inside him. You will be rewarded most enthusiastically. When this swaggering pirate realizes that you've been in his heart for a long time, I'll have a headache as to what kind of wedding gift to give you.

Hear him say that. Bruno. Tenorio spread his hands and smiled at his wife, "Is there anything else to say?" Even when I was younger, I never said such a thing to you, Giselle. As long as the elemental half-life is, my love for you lasts...... It seems that our daughter has found the best place to be. ”

Then he turned to Don and smiled, "But Mr. Donn, are you really ready to call me 'Daddy'?" ”

Don, who had returned the man just now, was suddenly stunned, and called a man who was only a few years older than him "Dad......

Shania was still leaning on his shoulder, basking in Donn's bold declaration of love, unoblivious to the predicament her Uncle Tony had found herself in.

At this time, Don couldn't count on Shania to come out to help him, and he made the right choice after a battle between heaven and man in his heart.

That's it, anyway, we don't see each other every day! If only I was twenty-six years old!

"Daddy!" Don said loudly, his voice hard.

Not only that, but he turned his face and rushed at Giselle next to him. Tenorio shouted in the same tone: "Mom! ”

Bruno. Tenorio laughed and patted Donne's stiff body hard, "You're a good man, Mr. Donne. Little Joe couldn't be more reassuring to hand it over to you. Cherish your time together! ”

Don grinned.

"Hungry? Let's go to dinner together and it's time for your engagement dinner! ”

After saying that, he pulled his wife to stand up and walked out.

Don then gets up, only to find Shania still hanging on him. He turned around just in time to see Shania raise her head with a flushed face, a small face that was infinitely shy. Despite this, there was still a sly glint in the bright eyes.

"Fortunately, I haven't forgotten this knowledge of chemistry...... The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years. Uncle Tony, you're going to love me for 4.5 billion years! ”
