Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

This is the story of Anne Silliman.

She is eleven years old this year. Because of hereditary problems in her metabolic system, she cannot defecate and perspire normally, which leads to a series of complications in the body system. Therefore, she must go in and out of the hospital for a long time, and through corresponding treatment, she will be assisted to complete it. Metabolism, otherwise it may lead to unimaginable consequences.

With the current medical conditions and scientific research results, this is still an untreatable disease.

Although it will not affect daily life, you must go to the hospital to report regularly, and then you must pay attention to your daily diet at all times. Any omission may have immeasurable follow-up effects, and may even lead to potential danger to life if you are not careful. .

From a positive point of view, this is not a terminal illness that directly leads to death. As long as she can pay attention at any time, Annie can grow up smoothly, study, work, start a business, get married, and travel around the world. As long as she wants, she can do it. ; From a negative point of view, this is a disease that will accompany you for life. No negligence is allowed, and every minute and every second must be taken care of.

This has been Anne's life since the first day she was born, like Princess Pea in a glass house.

In Annie's life, everything is arranged, not intended, but it can only be so, in order to survive, this is the only choice.

She can be free. She can go to a "single concert", she can attend the Grammy Awards, and she can leave the hospital regularly to be with her family; however, all these freedoms must be shackled, from recipes, from routine, From injection therapy to death threats.

Sometimes, she couldn't even tell herself whether it was freedom or a cage. Perhaps, she is too young to understand the true meaning of freedom and the true meaning of life, but... who can say that she truly sees through everything?

Everyone thinks that Annie is still young, only eleven years old, she doesn't understand anything, she is like a canary kept in a bird cage, and she doesn't know the world; but those bright eyes are in the Mount Sinai Hospital. This world has witnessed too much complexity and depth, not darkness, but complexity.

In the past year, the world has been turned upside down, and everything has come in an instant.

First the heart transplant of Alex Ritchie, then the death of Heather Cross, then the shattering of the family.

After ten years of hard work and protection, the Silliman family finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to fall apart. Annie's father was overwhelmed and finally chose to divorce; and the alimony part also needs to be judged by the court, which cannot be resolved in the short term——

I heard that Annie's father cheated both mentally and physically. Now he has moved out of Silliman's original apartment and lived with a third party. After that, he never came to the hospital to visit Annie again. He disappeared completely from Anne's life.

The withdrawal of the family pillar leaves Annie's mother, Joss, in a difficult position.

For Joss, she needs to deal with her husband's cheating and abandonment, but she doesn't even have time for heartbreak and collapse, and she must face the mess in front of her immediately. Even if her ex-husband is willing to pay alimony, judging from the past situation of their family , is still a drop in the bucket, not enough to pay for Anne's expensive hospitalization.

All along, Joss has never given up on work. But now, she has to look for another part-time job besides her daily job. Only in this way can she barely get through the difficulties at hand; this is a difficult task, absolutely difficult, but Joss still insisted on gritting her teeth, she found I took a night shift and only slept three hours a day to carry all the burdens.

The problem is that now Josie has to work 20 hours a day, and the commuting time may take one to two hours. She doesn't even have time to wash and take care of herself, let alone go to the hospital to accompany her. Annie has.

Gradually, Annie fell into a situation of no relatives.

Annie is a sensible child. She never cried or complained. She just hid quietly in the activity room, read books, and entered a world of her own.

After being discharged from the hospital, Alex, who gradually started to live on the right track, has not come back to the hospital for a follow-up consultation for a long time; he usually visits his mother and father in the hospital every three or five times, and slowly disappears; now he even comes here regularly. There was absolutely no news of Renly, who helped the hospital—even the media couldn't see any news of Renly.

so……

The words that followed did not require Anita to continue, and Renly could not help whispering, "I...I..." He didn't know, he never knew.

He could blame Jos for not contacting him; he could blame Anita for not sending the email; he could blame Nathan for not caring about what was going on here, but these are excuses, terrible excuses. After all, he was so immersed in his own world that he completely forgot about himself, and then completely forgot about Mount Sinai Hospital. It was his fault, at least in part.

Anita opened her mouth and tried to comfort Renly, but she couldn't make a sound, "On her birthday, she asked me to say..." Anita's voice choked for a moment, "she said, why? Heather didn't come to her birthday party? I..." Anita shrugged, and the words that followed disappeared between her lips and teeth.

Renly looked up and gave Anita a small smile.

Anita took a deep breath

He smiled again, and patted Renly on the back of his hand, "We all have to learn to say goodbye. There are so many volunteers coming and going, but you are the only one left, so don't blame yourself too much, we are all on the way. Trying, but none of us are saviours."

Anita clearly read Renly's mood, and now faces Annie's story after experiencing Heather.

In life, everyone has their own story, every life has its own troubles and ups and downs, no one is the savior, all they can do is to do their best to give each other a warm hug, Then gather up your courage and move on.

Renly nodded with a smile, "I know." He couldn't save everyone, and he didn't intend to save everyone, but at least, through the Heather-Cross Foundation, more people could be helped, which was his reward. a way of society. "Anita, you can contact Joss, ask her to prepare the materials, and then submit an application to the Heather-Cross Foundation to see if she can get help."

"Can she also apply? I thought, only patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis can apply." Anita showed a surprised look.

Renly nodded in affirmation, "Because the donations we received at the time far exceeded our expectations, we set up a special project to help underage patients, and we hope to make a modest contribution. Now, I don't have the right to complete it. The review is left to professionals; but as far as I know, Annie should meet the requirements and can apply for help."

Anita suddenly realized, "Okay, okay." She couldn't say a word, she just nodded in agreement, "Actually, Ellie had proposed before and wanted to help Joss. But Joss didn't want to drag Ellie down, After all, the financial situation of the Cross family is not good either. Derek donates most of their income to the foundation, so if necessary, she would rather take a loan from the bank, but the house they live in now is Involved in divorce..."

Ellie and Derek, Heather's parents.

Although Heather has left, they still did not give up hope, but became volunteers, actively helping the operation and promotion of the Heather-Cross Foundation, hoping to help more people because they themselves I have experienced the pain of life and death separation, so I understand the needs of others better.

Renly let out a long sigh, the Heather-Cross Foundation, for many, may just be a gimmick for the "Ice Bucket Challenge"; but for many, it is saving families, saving A life-saving straw.

Renly is not the savior, he can't help everyone, but at least he can leave a ray of hope through the foundation to support those who are in deep trouble to continue to struggle.

As he spoke, Renly felt a force coming from his left hand, which was supported on the hospital bed. He grabbed his wrist firmly, turned his head to look, and saw Annie who had just woken up, half awake. Suddenly, Annie grabbed Renly's wrist immediately, widened her eyes, and said timidly, "Renly?"

The voice of worrying about gains and losses thumped on his chest dully.

"Hmm." Renly nodded with a smile. "How is it? Did you sleep well? Did you dream?"

"I had a dream..." Annie had just said it, and then she closed her mouth tightly and shook her head repeatedly, "No, I didn't have a dream." Thinking back to the dream, she looked like a koala, Lying on Renly's chest, crying, it was so bad that she couldn't say it.

Renly didn't pursue it either, and lightly tapped Annie's nose with her index finger, "How is it, do you need a glass of water?" After crying, Annie barely sweated, so that her cheeks were a little too red now, making her face red. People are worried.

Renly cast his gaze towards Anita, but Anita was handy, "It's time to take the medicine, I'll go get some water." Then, Anita blinked at Renly, a pair of The expression "I'm not going to be a light bulb" really makes people laugh or cry.

But Annie didn't seem to notice, she just grabbed Renly's left hand firmly, and cast her gaze earnestly, not taking her eyes away, lest if her eyes flicker a little, Renly in front of her would turn into a cloud of smoke and disappear.

Renly laughed dumbly, adjusted his sitting position, and put Annie's small hand in his palm, "This is reality, not a dream, don't worry, I'm back in New York. Unfortunately, it's been raining outside today, otherwise I'll take you with me. Went out to watch a movie."

Annie didn't speak, she just smiled shyly and shook her head, her eyes still falling on Renly.
