"After Sally was diagnosed with chronic leukemia at the age of ten, our whole family has been in a tight state. In the past few years, it was still in the chronic phase. Everything changed very slowly, but Sally had already known her condition a long time ago. I always think I can't live...sixteen years old..."

At this point, Jessica's voice choked slightly, although she quickly covered up the past, but the uncontrollable tremor still revealed her inner fragility. Sally will be sixteen this year.

I always thought that that day would never come, but suddenly, without any warning, the possibility was like a leech that suddenly stuck to the skin, making people shudder. "Prior to this, Sally had always been very sensible. She never complained, didn't cry, and didn't lose her temper. She just accepted all this calmly. We know that she just doesn't want to burden us... "

Jessica's voice paused slightly. Although she didn't say anything, Hugo knew that her daughter's sensibility actually made her parents more sad. They were supposed to take care of and comfort their daughter, but now it is their daughter who is sympathetic to them. In the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, the insignificance of human power has been magnified countless times.

"Later she heard about your performance in Memphis on the radio, and life began to change drastically, especially after Amoeba Music met you, I don’t know what she talked to you, that’s my number one. I heard your name this time." Jessica pointed to Hugo, Amoeba music, the name awakened the distant memory of glory to death, "But after that, she had what she wanted to do for the first time. , She wanted to try something different for the first time, she had a new goal for the first time..."

Jessica's face couldn't help but showed a gratifying smile. Compared with her "mature and sensible" daughter, she hoped that her only thirteen-year-old daughter would become cheerful and lively. She even hoped that her daughter could lose her temper. , To vent the inner dissatisfaction. Because Sally is just a child who hasn't grown up, she shouldn't be burdened with so many heavy things.

After that, things became familiar. "Until the end of last year, Sally's condition suddenly worsened. The doctor said that it was a disease that has entered an accelerated period... After participating in the premiere of'Death Prisoners' Walk,' Sally has been in the hospital." Jessica is putting together the missing pieces of jigsaw pieces, linking the cause and effect of everything. "Just after the War of the Century in September, Sally's condition was again It got worse and entered a period of rapid change. For a week, she couldn't get up from the hospital bed..."

Jessica's voice fell silent. After all, she was unable to elaborate on that memory. "Before this tour started, Sally told her father and me that she must participate in this tour. This is her life. The first dream I want to truly pursue, and maybe the last one."

Jessica’s first reaction was to strongly object. She couldn’t accept the fact that her daughter’s life was running out. But Sally’s biggest wish was to follow a rock band to complete the tour, and she still rushed all the way. Bumps, wind and dust all the way. She couldn't accept it, she found it ridiculous. She even started to be hysterical, quarreling with Robin, quarreling with Sally, quarreling with the doctor, quarreling with the nurse, and refusing the help of other people in the family, just wanting to resist everything in the world.

But in the end, Jessica was convinced by Sally. Maybe, this is the last journey of Sally’s life, maybe not; but as Sally’s mother, she can at least be sure that Sally can really do whatever she wants, even if only once, she hopes Sally’s heart There is no regret, and no regrets—even if she knows it is impossible, she can at least look hard.

The story of Jessica is over, but the simple words can't describe the thrilling in life at all. Many times, the death that I thought was extremely remote was actually very close to myself. Hugo once witnessed Zhang Xiaoye's death, experienced Pedro's fear of dying, and now feels the death sickle hanging high above Sally's head.

Pedro felt all the eyes of the band projected onto him, but at this time he had no intention to respond, because the turbulence in his heart almost swallowed him.

He used to be so close to the **** of death, that face-to-face nose was so clear, and he could even feel the cold blade slowly tracing his throat. Fortunately, he finally escaped from the **** of the **** of death. It's just that, during the tour recently, poison. The lure of the product. Confusion struck again, even more fierce than ever before. This time everyone, including Hugo, did not persuade him anymore, just let him make his own choices, and his reason was already overwhelming.

But now, he finds that Sally is so stubborn that she wants to live on, because she still has many dreams that have not been realized, her life has just begun, and she is even a child... But he is so stupid and actively chooses to embrace Grim Reaper-the embrace that once made him extremely terrified, he was almost throwing his arms into his embrace again.

Like never before, Pedro felt so small.

"Jessica, we... uh, can we go in and see Sally?" Neil spoke for the first time, but his voice was tired and heavy.

Jessica showed an apologetic expression, "Sorry, the hospital has regulations, only immediate family members can enter. Because Sally is just out of danger now..."

Before she could finish her words, Neil waved his hand. "It's okay, everything must be Sally. We just came to see her, and I can't help. Believe me, I know Sally. Although it is not as long as you, I know that she is a little girl who never gives up."

Jessica smiled slightly, her eyes could not help but some warmth, she turned her head in embarrassment and wiped the corners of her eyes. When I turned around, I saw the intensive care unit not far away. At this time, there was still silence, and the large swaths of white made the surrounding quiet and somewhat infiltrating.

Jessica bit her lip slightly, seemingly determined, turned her head and looked over, "However, I think Sally will want to see you. If you can talk to her, maybe she will be happy. Get up. Of course, I know this request is a bit excessive, please forgive my impoliteness..."

Neil and others all looked at Hugo. They all knew that Sally’s favorite is always Hugo. Hugo has an extraordinary weight in her heart, not only an idol, but also an idol. Kind of faith. Hugo felt his shoulders press down hard, making him breathless.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Hugo clearly knows this, and he also intends to shoulder this responsibility, otherwise he would not choose to cooperate with the Grayson Gift Foundation and contribute to charity. "If you don't interrupt Sally's rest, I hope I can get such an opportunity. You know, tomorrow is the concert in Denver, I don't see Sally, I always feel that something is missing."

Hugo's empathy resolved Jessica's worries, which made her chuckle, "As long as you don't dislike trouble."

Looking back at his teammates, Hugo stepped forward and followed Jessica forward. When passing by Pedro, he patted Hugo on the shoulder and said hoarsely, "Remember to ask. Sally, does she like you or me more." A joking made everyone laugh, but the bitterness in the smile can hardly be concealed.

Entering the intensive care unit is not an easy task. Hugo was disinfected first, then put on protective clothing, and disinfected again before he was able to enter. Although she did not wear a face mask like on TV, Hugo's heart sinks slowly because of such careful procedures, because he knew that this meant that Sally's condition was already very serious and she was very susceptible to infection, so she must Carry out multiple protections.

Walking into the entire snow-white room, the faint blue light made the temperature seem to drop a little, and the smell of disinfectant under the nose always lingered, like the lingering smoke, firmly grasping Hugo's wrist and Ankle, every step is so difficult.

Then Hugo saw Sally.

At this time Sally was lying peacefully on the hospital bed, wearing a lake-blue medical gown. Except for the drip on her arm, Sally didn't seem to look any different, except that she was asleep. Such calm, on the contrary, slowed down Hugo's pace.

Jessica stepped forward and patted Sally on the shoulder. Sally opened her eyes slowly, and when her gaze adjusted to the light, she saw the person in front of her clearly and chuckled, "Hey, mom, how long have I slept?"

"For a while is only a short while." Jessica smiled softly, the beauty on her face was intoxicating, "Hey, I brought a special visitor, you can see who it is. ."

Sally followed the direction of her mother’s fingers, turned her head and looked over, and then Hugo saw Sally’s pale cheeks, without any blood, even a little pale, as if even the blood vessels hidden under the skin could be seen. It is clear that the colorless lips are like a dry desert--but at this time, the lips are gently outlined, and a bright smile appears, as if the depths of a dense sea of ​​clouds penetrate the shadows. A sunrise bursting with infinite rays of light.

"Oh, God, Hugo, I hope I will not be rude like this. I originally imagined that I could leave the best image in your mind forever." Sally said softly, softly as if she was afraid of being alarmed. The dust.

The disinfectant potion under the nose began to boil, and the whiteness in all directions calmed the world, only the pungent potion smell was like clouds. Hugo lowered his chin slightly, a smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, and he was shocked for an instant, "Hey, sweetheart, you look perfect. The only imperfection is that the air quality here is really terrible."

In a word, Sally was stunned, and she laughed out loud.
