The First General Hospital of the Capital City on the Moon, the waiting room.
This hospital is the best general hospital on the moon, and its neurology and orthopedics are second to none in the entire human activity circle. Ed's genetic test was done here. Originally, he had an appointment with the attending doctor to get the medical report this afternoon, but Klein's matter delayed a little and missed the meeting time. The doctor was receiving other patients, and now he can only wait a little longer.
Ed and CC are sitting in the corner of the waiting room chatting in low voices.
"Is there anything else to explain?" CC waved the photo in his hand, "I'll just say that your behavior in front of me is very unlike a normal adolescent, although you may not be psychologically, but at least physically you are. Right? I understand now, it turns out that the interest is here."
This is one of Klein's gifts to Ed. There are two things in that beautifully packaged small box, one is the first limited edition of Lux's latest single "On the Field of Hope", and the other is the Lux's that CC is holding now. Signature photo.
This photo is not quite like Lux's other photos. She always dresses conservatively in public, and the same goes for all the videos and pictures she shows, which is related to the image of a pure and beautiful girl she has been carefully creating. In this photo, Lux is wearing an obviously sexy swimsuit, with a sweet smile on her face, her hands in the shape of a heart on her chest, and what appears to be a private swimming pool in the background. It is conceivable that this photo should have been taken specially for this gift. Behind the photo is Lux's autograph: "Gift to Adrian Lingus, looking forward to meeting you. Lux Klein".
"I didn't know Klein would put this kind of thing in it, maybe he always thought I was a big fan of his daughter?" Ed took out the photo from CC's hand, "You have always held it, I still have it. I didn't look closely."
"Who knows if you're pretending?" CC looked like he didn't care, "According to my observation, you sometimes lock the door at night, isn't this person your main activity information? Well, then Clay Because this photo is really suitable, so you will agree to his invitation no matter what?"
"Am I the kind of person who knows how to plot against China and the United States?" Ed looked at the photo in his hand, "Klein has done this, and if he refuses him, he will only make a bad deal with the head of a country, and agree to do so. He has nothing to lose to me, not to mention—"
"Okay, you don't need to explain." CC looked at Ed with teasing, "Do you see how convincing you are staring at the photo now?"
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Ed put the photo into his pocket silently, "But this kind of cool private photo that hasn't been leaked out, Klein really paid for it... His daughter also cooperated."
"Blood?" CC sneered, "For him, it's similar to the empty-glove white wolf, right? You're the only one who thinks it's the original. As for his daughter, don't you know who his daughter is?"
Ed unexpectedly did not continue to raise the bar. CC was right, he never regarded Lux as a pure and flawless white lotus. Whether it was her imperceptibly promoting his father when she was engaged in idol activities, or her impeccable performance in dealing with several PR crises, he could not associate her with the innocent and ignorant girl anyway. On the contrary, Lux deserves to be said It would be more appropriate to be the daughter of Speaker Klein.
"But it's good to meet his daughter." CC put away the sneer on the corner of his mouth, "The emotional experience of failure is good for people's growth. In some ways, you are still too tender."
"Nothing started, just a failed emotional experience?"
"If you... don't..."
There were voices of others talking beside him. After all, it is a hospital. Will the chatter be too loud to disturb others? Just be careful.
"… Without you, Mom and Dad would have… nor would… it's your fault… you're the culprit!"
"...Brother, stop!"
Why do you seem to be talking to yourself? Ed turned his head to look at the source of the sound, only to see a black-haired, red-eyed boy looking at him with gritted teeth and hatred. His right hand, which was clenched into a fist, was a little white due to the excessive force, and he wanted to rush up to beat him. A meal. On the wheelchair beside him sat a cute-looking girl, showing an expression of about to cry, and was holding on to the clothes around the boy's waist.
The inexplicable picture caused Ed's brain to shut down for about three seconds, and then suddenly realized something: "… Huh?"
…
Today is the day to bring my sister to the hospital for review.
It has been more than four years since the most tragic day of my life. After the initial pain had passed, the only thing he could think about was how to get his sister to stand up again, and there was no time left to recall the grief of losing his parents. My sister has lost a lot more than me. If I were her, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to live, right? So at least in front of my sister, I must be optimistic and give her hope of living.
It is only after losing parents that I realize how difficult it is to just live, but one cannot just live. He couldn't bear the fact that his favorite sister would lie in a hospital bed all his life, living a life where people even took care of food and excretion. Aub's quack doctor said that we tried our best, but there was nothing we could do. Yes, in a country like Aub, the leaders are all like that, so what kind of outstanding doctors can be trained? But if it is on the moon, if it is the Lunar Capital First General Hospital with the most powerful orthopaedic department, there must be a way, right? Surely I can get my sister to stand up again
With all the savings at home and the pension from Orb, he took his sister to Copernicus, the capital of the moon. Luna's orthopedics is really good, and was diagnosed as a hopeless sister by Orb's quack doctors. After more than four years of treatment, her legs have gradually regained consciousness. The doctor said that if you continue to adhere to the treatment, there is hope to stand up in the next two years. He will never forget that night when he was helping his sister with leg rehabilitation as usual, when her sister suddenly said it was itchy, the brother and sister hugged and cried.
But the moon is not a warm place. The cost of the sister's treatment is staggeringly high, and their siblings are not registered with the moon and cannot enjoy medical insurance. The prices in the capital are not cheap. Although he has saved a lot, his sister must supplement enough nutrition. And housing is a headache for him. Even if the brother and sister are crowded into a small one-bedroom apartment, the monthly rent still makes him tremble. Money, he needs money.
As an immigrant and a teenager without parental guarantees, it is difficult for him to find a stable job. After struggling for a long time, he chose to be admitted to the military academy. Only the military academy does not pay tuition fees but pays wages. Only after graduating from the military academy and joining the Moon Army can the household registration problem be solved. The top few students in each semester can also receive high scholarships. Relying on the income of the military academy, I can successfully get my household registration after graduation, and then I can enjoy medical insurance, and my sister can live a happier life.
"Brother, I think that's all right. I'm already very satisfied when I'm aware, so I don't have to force myself to go to the military academy." My sister said to herself, "Actually, it's not bad, I can stay by my brother's side for the rest of my life~ "But these words are of course comforting.
Fortunately, he is still very promising, not only successfully passed the military academy, but also won the first place every semester. Relying on the salary and scholarship of the military academy, my sister's course of treatment finally persisted. Now that he has graduated, he will join the army next month. If you hold on for another month, you will be able to apply for a moon account and get medical insurance. Although the salary of the army is not high, at least it can be changed to another room and let my sister have her own room, right
She is fourteen this year, and she is considered an adult. Brothers and sisters are beginning to feel embarrassed about some things. After all, we are no longer children.
Although there are some regrets that my sister can't be the same as before when she grows up, but in general everything is developing in the direction of happiness. He almost forgot what hatred was. Until today, this person appeared in front of me.
He remembered again, that terrible afternoon, the stumps of his parents, the screams of his sister, and his own tears. The terrifying robot named "Gundam" runs, destroys, ravages, and smashes his life to smithereens. Is this man the "Father of Gundam"? I can't remember wrong, I will never forget this face that I only saw on the news.
"Without you there would be no such thing... Mom and Dad would not have died without you... Mayu would not have lost her legs..." He couldn't help holding his right hand tightly and walked towards the man Go, "It's all your fault... you culprit!"
"...Brother, stop!"
The sister held herself behind her. Driven by his anger, he didn't see the expression on his sister's face as if she was about to cry.
…
Ed soon realized who this man was. But why are real birds on the moon? Why is his sister Mayu in a wheelchair? Why does he have such a bitter expression on his face? By the way, this hospital is very famous for orthopedics. Sister Fei Niao is in a wheelchair, so brother Fei Niao is here to accompany her to see a doctor
The body in memory that lost everything, was driven by hatred, but could not find the object of revenge, and the boy in front of him subtly overlapped, but they seemed to be different. Looking at the girl in the wheelchair with pear blossoms in the rain, he couldn't help but whispered a reminder: "Your sister is crying."
As if awakened by some magical word, he turned around like an irrational bird just now, seeing Mayu's sobbing expression, she only felt that she had done the most unforgivable thing in the world. He was as nervous as a teenage boy dating a girl for the first time, at a loss as to what to do: "I'm sorry, Mayo, I... I'm sorry! But... he... I...!"
"It's okay, brother, don't apologize." Mayu couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw her brother's expression, although the smile was still a little reluctant, "It's just that brother just looked too scary, please don't be like that..."
"But Mayu, you don't know, this person is—"
"I know, brother. But the other party is a big man on the moon, let's go, shall we?" Mayo looked at Ed with a pleading look in his eyes, "Mr. Lingos, I'm sorry, brother didn't mean to offend you. Yes, please have a large amount, please don't embarrass your brother. Please."
"Although I don't know what's going on," CC whispered in Ed's ear, "but you seem to be regarded as the villain."
Ed suddenly saw how deep in his memory "should" be at the very end, crying with nothing, and then looked at the brothers and sisters who seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships to finally feel the outline of happiness, He was irrepressible, inexplicable, arrogant and hypocritical, and felt healed.
"Little sister, your name is Mayu, right?" Ed ignored CC and walked straight to his brother and sister, and reflexively stopped in front of his sister, "Don't be afraid, I don't hate you, it's better to say that I don't even know what happened. I don't understand. This boy, can you tell me your name?"
"… True Asuka. This is my sister, Mayu Asuka."
"Really and Mayo, right?" Ed tried his best to make a smile that he thought was kind, "Really, I don't know what kind of hatred you have against me, but I hope to have a good chat with you. After all, this is a hospital, not talking. Let's move to a quiet place. Are your inspections over?"
"… ended."
"Can you wait for me for a while? I'll be fine soon, I'm just here to get the medical report."
"That..." Zhen was a little overwhelmed by the sudden kindness of the other party, and he looked at his sister subconsciously, "Mayu?"
"Trust him, brother." Mayo was much calmer than her brother. "I don't think Mr. Lingus looks like a bad guy."
"Then it's settled, go to my house in a while." Ed left a complicated face and turned back to his seat.
"You look very abnormal today." CC looked at him thoughtfully, "This doesn't seem like something you would do. You even directly invited to the house? I remember right. This is the first time you bring a guest back. Home. Did you see someone's sister?"
"I just..." Ed found that his poor vocabulary couldn't find the right words to describe the feeling at the moment, "I just suddenly felt like I wanted to do something..."
