After crossing several streets, it soon entered the scope of Madison Avenue, and a dark red Victorian-style building appeared in sight, blending into the surrounding streets abruptly and wonderfully.
As the bridgehead for Europe to land in North America, New York has left countless imprints of European iron shoes. For example, Harlem, the name comes from the Netherlands, which was the territory of the Netherlands at that time. The building in front of me was completed in the middle of the 19th century, a lot has passed since the colonial era, but the designer still followed the exotic style of the nearby neighborhoods, which made it a beautiful landscape.
Renly entered the door quickly, then put the skateboard away, and came to the first floor. "Kelly." Renly greeted the young lady standing behind the counter, and reached over to hand the skateboard over.
The lady named Kelly took over the skateboard with a big smile, "You're here!"
Renly responded with a smile, "I'm five minutes late, I'll go up first, I'll talk about it later." Kelly nodded and said no problem, put the skateboard under the counter, and then Renly ran quickly Towards the elevator, before the elevator door closed, I rushed in.
The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, Renly walked out of the elevator door, and then saw a little girl about six or seven years old sitting on an orange plastic bench, chin on her hands, pouting her mouth angrily, that blowing. The raised cheeks look like bubble fish, which really makes people laugh.
Ren Li stepped forward, squatted down in front of the little girl, and touched her little head, but she twisted it stubbornly, her eyebrows tangled together, and looked at Ren Li angrily. "I'm thinking! Don't disturb me!" The appearance of the little adult really made people laugh.
Ren Li also restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Did you not have a bowel movement again today?"
The little girl gritted her teeth, waved her chubby right fist, and slammed her left palm hard, "Renly, I haven't had a bowel movement for three days! Three days!" Gang's appearance looked up to the sky and sighed, "Jesus Christ, is my stomach full of feces now? I don't think I can take a shower."
Renly laughed so hard that she was about to burst into tears, but she couldn't laugh out loud, she could only clench her fists and cheer her up, "I believe in you! I can definitely do it today!"
The little girl also shook her fist, with a face full of benevolent expressions, "Today, it's today! I decided to go to the bathroom now to brew, so I can't accompany you for the time being!"
"Don't worry, I can stand it alone, and I will never get lost!" Renly also said very seriously, and the two exchanged "Come on" again, and then Renly watched the little girl mournfully move towards Walking in the direction of the bathroom, the appearance of the little adult is really unbearable.
This building is actually a hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, one of the best local children's hospitals in New York.
In the last life, Renly spent a third of his life in the hospital. The long years made him feel extremely mixed with the hospital, some rejected, some hated, but some nostalgic, he knew better than anyone. I know that the pain and suffering of a long-term hospitalization is a feeling that bystanders cannot understand, and maybe even a friend who is also a patient cannot understand it, because every patient has his own demons and his own story.
Sometimes a patient will start to get angry out of nowhere, at everyone around him, for no reason and no control. For family and friends, they can only stand beside them in a hurry. They want to help but have no way to start. They keep asking, "What do you want?" As long as the patient speaks, they will do their best to help.
But Renly knew that they didn't really want anything, they just… just didn't know what to do. Those caring, those worries, those pains, those tortures, those closeness from family and friends, they know, they all know, but they still can't change the fact that they are sick, nor can they change the fact that everyone is helpless. The kind of anger that comes out, that jealousy, that repression, that even they themselves can't control. Even though they know it's not the family and friends' fault, they can't find anyone to vent, can they
Maybe, they just need someone beside them, they can ignore it as much as they want, but stay there from a distance and won't leave.
They know that this requirement is excessive, because even their own family members have their own lives, and they cannot stop in place forever because of their illness. But what more could they ask for
In this life, since high school, Renly has been volunteering in the hospital every week. When he was 18 years old, he obtained a professional nursing license, hoping to help more people within the scope of his ability. Even if he changed cities, he never interrupted his actions. In the past eight months, in addition to the period of filming in "Pacific War", he also insisted on continuing to work as a volunteer in a nearby hospital in Australia.
Not kindness, not charity, just because of empathy.
The little girl just now, Annie-Seliman, lived at Mount Sinai Hospital while Renly was filming. Renly once asked the doctor about Annie's condition, and the other party explained a lot of medical terms. Even if Renly later read professional medical skills, she still had limited understanding. She only knew that Annie had a problem with her metabolic system. To accomplish this basic function, not only defecation, but also perspiration.
If she still can't complete her own excretion for a period of time, it can only be through medical means. After Renly came back to New York, I once saw Annie receive a treatment. Her thin body lay helplessly on the hospital bed/with tubes all over her body. She lay quietly for three days, unable to do anything, even Can't speak. The long process was so tormented that bystanders couldn't bear to watch it, let alone Annie herself who was receiving treatment
"Renly, Renly, Renly!" There was a whistling sound like a small train from behind, and before Renly could turn around, a little guy threw himself on Renly's back, "Plane, plane, fly!"
Renly put his hands on the little guy's butt, stood up and quickly circled, then sprinted forward, the little guy on his back cheered happily, "Fly, I'm flying! Anita, ah Nita, look, I'm flying!"

Anita-Tunisia, the head nurse at the nurse's station, laughed dumbly, sat up slightly, and cried out in tears, "Renly, don't be too long, don't be too intense, Alex's heart is suffering. No!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Renly shouted, then ran in small steps with Alex on his back, asking, "Sir! Please indicate the destination!"
Alex-Reich raised his upper body vigorously, used all the strength in his body, and shouted, "Normandy!"
I don't know where this little guy heard Normandy, but Renly didn't have time to snicker, because Alex's voice was so loud that the whole floor was startled, and a lot of people ran out - this is not good , disturbing the rest of the other patients is definitely a move that thousands of people have pointed out, so Renly grabbed Alex's calf with both hands, pushed it up, first landed on the shoulders, and then grabbed the waist with both hands and tried hard, crossing the On the top of his head, he immediately hugged the little guy in his arms, "Sir, all the enemies have been awakened, we must flee!"
Alex giggled in his arms, and Renly led him to the family rest area at the end of the corridor, then curled up in the back chair like a soldier looking for cover.
Alex covered his mouth with his hands, but still kept laughing, obviously very happy. However, there was a commotion in the corridor. The nurses were gnashing their teeth one by one, and some parents also came out. Other new parents didn't understand the situation and thought something happened, so the other parents He explained the situation with a smile.
"Alix Ricky!" A nurse stood at the end of the bench with her hands on her hips. "You sneaked out before you finished your noon medicine! What do you think Renly will do with you? "
Renly's eyes widened and he looked at the naughty little guy. Before Renly could say anything, the little guy quickly admitted his mistake, "I'm going to eat, I'm going to eat now! Renly, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ' Those big watery eyes looked at Renly pitifully, like a puppy.
Renly wrinkled his nose and rubbed Alex's hair, "Hurry up and take your medicine, then come to Heather's ward, I'll make a kite for you and fly it in the afternoon!"
"Really?" Alex's eyes lit up involuntarily, and Renly pointed to the huge backpack on his shoulders, "Of course!"
Hearing this sentence, Alex jumped out of Renly's arms and ran out without waiting for the nurse, "Hurry up, hurry up, I want medicine! I want medicine!" The nurse was helpless. The ground followed behind and chased after him, "Alix, slow down, slow down."
Alex, ten years old, spent two years at Mount Sinai Hospital with a congenital heart condition. In fact, his illness can be recuperated at home. As long as there is no strenuous exercise, his daily life will not have much impact, but his parents are very busy people who are away from home for 350 days a year, so they hire private caregivers at home. , but was turned upside down by Alex, and they simply left the little guy in the hospital - at least there are little friends here.
He stood up again, wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and then strode forward, greeting the parents of the children familiarly along the way, and finally stopped at the door of the "314" ward. Without disturbing the tranquility here, Renly knocked on the tip to indicate a reminder, then pushed open the door of the room and greeted with a smile, "Good afternoon, Heather, today's sunshine is really good, isn't it?"
