Strange ceiling.
Where is this?
Yang Jie vaguely remembered that after rescuing Elena, he seemed to have a nosebleed after returning to the car...
Then what?
Oh, yes, I seemed to have fainted.
Gee, this is a rubbish system, how come the functions it provides have side effects...
"you're awake?"
While Yang Jie was reminiscing, he suddenly heard a gentle and quiet voice from his side.
Turning his head, he saw a clean and beautiful face.
It's Elena.
The girl was wearing hospital clothes and leaning quietly on the bed. Her usually iceberg-like face seemed to have been melted by the warm sunshine at noon, making her look a little softer.
The long brown hair that is usually tied into a ponytail is now hanging on the chest, giving it a bit of an eagle feather-like luster under the sunlight.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Wrench."
Look at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, it's twelve o'clock sharp.
"Mr. Wrench?"
Yang Jie used his arms to prop up his body, sat on the hospital bed leaning against the back of the bed, and then asked inexplicably:
"What kind of title is this?"
Elena tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, then replied:
"joke."
Yang Jie chuckled. He didn't expect Elena to make a joke.
What to say? She is indeed a girl as big as an iceberg, but she is also so cold when making jokes.
Yang Jie felt that this usually cold girl seemed to be more lively.
He thought this, and then smelled a faint smell of Lysol.
He looked down at himself. He was also wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. He raised his head and asked the girl sitting on the other bed:
"So we're in the hospital?"
"Um."
Elena nodded, opened her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment and asked:
"How do you feel now?"
"not bad."
Yang Jie laughed, shook his head, and asked:
"But I should be the one asking you this, right?"
"The operation went well. The doctor said it will be fine after a while of rest."
Yang Jie nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment. The two of them suddenly stopped talking, and the ward became quiet again.
This made Yang Jie somewhat embarrassed.
But Elena didn't seem to feel anything. She just closed her eyes, put her hands in front of her belly, and quietly felt the noon sun.
“It’s great to be back alive.
Yang Jie,
Thank you for saving me. "
"Didn't you already say that once?"
Yang Jie followed Elena's example and closed his eyes and lay half on the bed.
"No, it's different."
Elena's tone suddenly became serious, which made Yang Jie curious for a moment. He opened his eyes and turned his head, seeing the girl's slightly raised corners of her mouth.
What's different?
Just as Yang Jie was about to ask, the door to the ward was pushed open.
"Yo, you're awake."
Ivan pushed the door open and walked in with a bowl in hand, placing lunch on the table for the two of them.
"Where are Ryan and Rock?"
"I'm looking for medicine for you."
"medicine?"
"Yes, two anti-radiation drugs."
The bear nodded and then said:
"I don't quite understand what's going on. I'll call the doctor and let him explain it to you."
As he said that, Xiongxiong opened the door again and went out.
Not long after the bear left, the door was gently pushed open again.
This time, a little head poked into the ward.
Seeing Yang Jie wake up, Kristen's eyes lit up, but she just stood at the door of the room.
Seeing that little Christine was afraid to come in, Yang Jie smiled and waved to her.
Kristine cautiously looked outside the door again, making sure that Ivan was gone before getting into the ward and running to Yang Jie's bed with small steps.
To be honest, Yang Jie really likes this little girl. She is not like those naughty children Yang Jie met before traveling through time. She is a very quiet and well-behaved little girl who does whatever she is told.
Even when they were evacuating from Dax Town, she didn't cause any trouble for the Akainu team.
"What's wrong Christine?"
Seeing Kristine's hesitation, Yang Jie reached out and touched her little head.
"Are you okay, uncle?"
uncle……
Hearing Christine's name, Yang Jie almost gasped, and the smile froze on his face.
Turning his head, Yang Jie saw the curve of the corners of Elena's mouth getting wider.
The thumb and middle finger of his right hand were clasped together, and he flicked Christine's head lightly.
"Ouch!"
Kristen covered her head in pain and looked at Yang Jie aggrievedly, puffing up her cheeks but not daring to say anything.
"What do you call uncle? Call me brother."
"……elder brother……"
Kristine followed Yang Jie's wishes and called out.
"Hey, that's right."
After bullying Christine, Yang Jie finally felt better. He said warmly:
"Brother is fine, very good."
"oh."
Kristen made a muffled noise, obviously a little unhappy.
However, the child's mood changed quickly, and after a while, she turned her attention to the lunch on the table.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
The little girl rubbed her belly and looked at Yang Jie pitifully with her eyes blinking.
Yang Jie was amused by Kristine's appearance and laughed. He moved to the side, and then carried Kristine onto the bed so that she could reach the table by the window.
Open the buckled lid, pick up the spoon next to it and hand it to Christine. Watch the little girl scoop up a spoonful of cream soup and put it into her mouth. Then she raises her head and squints her eyes. Her two little carrot legs are curled up. .
"Brother, you eat."
Yang Jie picked up a napkin, wiped little Christine's mouth, and then shook his head.
"You can eat, I'm not hungry."
"Brother, when can I see my father?"
Hearing what Kristine said, Yang Jie stopped holding the paper.
He really didn't know how to answer this question.
Maybe in little Christine's mind, Akainu Team should be the one who rescued her with her father.
But Yang Jie knew that he was just a little girl he saved by chance. And on his side, there is also Captain Ryan who doesn't like the Roman Legion.
Just as Yang Jie was thinking about how to answer, Ivan returned to the ward with Dr. Fulance.
Ivan frowned when he saw Christine sitting next to Yang Jie.
"Yang Jie, how did you..."
"It's okay Ivan."
Yang Jie stretched out his hand to stop Ivan from speaking any more, and then turned to look at Fulance.
"Hello doctor, please excuse me."
Hearing what Yang Jie said, Fulance's expression froze, and then he forced a smile and said:
"It's okay, this is what I should do."
As he spoke, he handed a test sheet to Yang Jie and changed the topic.
"Tell me about your body. Do you know about leukemia?"
"leukemia?!"
Dr. Fulance's words made Yang Jie suddenly nervous.
He quickly sat up straight, took the test form from Florence's hand, and browsed it carefully.
Seeing that the white blood cell content on the test sheet was nearly ten times higher than the normal value, Yang Jie was immediately stunned.
Have you got leukemia? impossible!
He was healthy during his physical examination last year, so how could he suddenly suffer from this disease?
"Ha, don't be nervous."
Seeing Yang Jie's reaction, Fulance laughed and said:
"You're not that sick yet, but if you delay it a little longer, you might get better."
Looking at Yang Jie who was relieved, Fulance became more sure of his judgment.
Leukemia, this was what it was called before the war, and only people in the pre-war era would find this once terminal disease terrifying.
