Manhattan at midnight is brightly lit and sleepless all night. Even in the middle of the night when the cold wave strikes, the creamy yellow halo revealed in the rich night is still connected with branches and branches, carefully drawn under the navy blue sky. In a quiet and peaceful harbor, noisy laughter can be vaguely heard, but the snowy night is even more quiet.
Mount Sinai Hospital, which has not stopped for 24 hours, the light of incandescent lamps is like a pencil sketch, sketching the shape of a castle in the snow with a few strokes, revealing a touch of loneliness; but inside the hospital, in the quiet corridors, light and light The sound of footsteps and the reel of the cart still echoed gently, as if there was no essential difference between day and night.
In the distance, there was a sound of laughter and discussions from the ward, with a few "shush" sounds indicating silence, but then the cheerful and excited restlessness still flowed out uncontrollably, in the darkness of the night. It echoes gently, adding a touch of vitality.
After the "One Man's Concert", the members of the Mount Sinai Hospital team escorted Heather back to the hospital collectively. The bustling and bustling was not lively. Even if they tried their best to control it and avoid disturbing the rest of other patients, the blood was still in the air. The rush of joy and frenzy still couldn't help but roll over.
Involuntarily, Renly slowed down, politely not disturbing the joyful atmosphere in the ward, but just before he could stand firm, the ward door was pushed open, and a young woman came out with a child in her arms. .
The young woman didn't seem to be under thirty years old, and her long blond hair was a little loose at this time. It seemed that she had just experienced a crazy night and had not had time to arrange her hair. "Hey, Renly, why are you here?" The woman revealed With a bright smile, "Tonight's performance is very exciting! It's really hard work."
Joss-Seliman, mother of Anne-Seliman.
"Come and see Heather." Renly replied with a smile. After Heather was awake, he hadn't seen her face to face, Joss raised her chin and nodded her understanding, "Is Annie asleep? Take her back quickly."
Annie, who was lying on her mother's shoulder, seemed to hear her name, so she crawled up in a daze, rubbed her eyes, looked around, and vaguely saw Renly's appearance, muttering, "Mom, I Going to a concert..." With flushed cheeks, blurred eyes, pouty lips, and curly hair like instant noodles, it looks like a Barbie doll.
As she spoke, Annie got into Joss's shoulder again and muttered indistinctly, "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow..." The voice behind disappeared completely in the murmur, groggy and unexpectedly fell asleep.
Joss patted Annie's back gently, and put Annie to sleep peacefully, with a smile in her eyes, "Tonight she went crazy and spent the craziest night of her childhood. She didn't want to She went to bed, kept talking, and wanted to go to the concert again. She kept trying to keep her eyes open, but she didn't dare to sleep, worried that when she woke up, the day would be over."
The childish actions fell into Joss's words, but there was a hint of pampering.
"You should tell her to go to sleep quickly, so that you can keep all the good memories in your dreams." Renly's eyes also fell on the pink face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth naturally rose. . "Hurry up and take her to rest, you have to work hard tonight."
Annie's condition is directly linked to metabolism, so a regular schedule is crucial. Today, Annie rests later than usual, and needs more attention from her parents and nurses at night and tomorrow morning.
Joss didn't expect that Renly still remembered, she was stunned for a while, nodded in a panic, and walked towards the ward with Annie in her arms. After a few steps, Joss stopped again, turned around and called, "Renly."
The Renly in front of him seemed to be no different from the one on the stage. He just changed a set of clothes, a simple white shirt and blue jeans, with a long smoky gray trench coat. There was no extra dressing or cumbersome cover-ups. Clean and fresh.
However, it is completely different from the stage. He has a warm and gentle gentleman's temperament, and outlines a faint fragility in the middle of the night. It seems that he is not the radiant performer on the stage, but is just familiar with Mount Sinai Hospital. the volunteer.
"Thank you." Joss said, thousands of words, but after all, these simple words could not be matched.
The smile at the corner of Renly's mouth rose, without modesty, he just nodded slightly to show his understanding. That calm attitude made Joss also chuckle, "Come in and see Heather, she must rest as soon as possible. I think she will want to see you before falling asleep."
This time, Joss didn't stay any longer and left with Annie in his arms.
Looking back, Renly took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the ward, and walked in.
Almost immediately, Heather spotted Renly, showed a big smile, raised her hands high, "I surrender." As Heather said, she blinked playfully, "I surrender. , an agreement, reminded me so many times, can't I admit defeat? Really, a big man, so humming."
In fact, Heather's words were a little vague, and some of the words were not clear, but the overall meaning was still clearly expressed.
Renly glanced at Ellie and Derek's faces, both of them showed relief and excitement, which means that Heather's condition has improved tonight? "At least, the effect is achieved." Renly looked back and said with a smile.
"Humph." Heather rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, then deliberately raised her chin high, tapped the bed board, and made a muffled sound to express her protest, "Also, and... Use my essay as a Inspiration, complete songwriting, without the consent of the client, is this a violation of the law? Do I need to invite a lawyer to deal with it?"
That arrogant gesture made Ren Li laugh.
"Say You Won't Give Up", this profound song hides Heather's secret love confession. However, Heather was not shy and reserved, but took the initiative to mention it in a mocking way, without any flinch or timidity in his eyes, and looked at Renly calmly, confident and calm, bold and straightforward, "Heather- Cross" was the familiar Heather again.
Renly retracted his chin lightly and pursed his smile, "The articulation is so clear, there is no problem at all. I fulfilled my promise, and now it seems that you have kept your promise as well."
Without evasion, without detour, without caution, Renly faced the fact that Heather had been in a coma for several days, almost despairing. Not only was it brought up, but it was also in a relaxed tone.
The others standing beside them were stunned, especially Ellie and Derek, their faces turned pale and at a loss. This is what they have been avoiding, for fear of hurting Heather, for fear of scaring Heather, and for fear that once the truth is revealed, they will not be able to bear it.
After the concert, they were always immersed in a happy atmosphere, trying to avoid those potential possibilities and dangers. It seemed that as long as they laughed like this, the coma time would disappear. But now, Renly said it so easily.
In an instant, all eyes were on Heather.
Heather didn't have the slightest sadness and tension, but laughed softly and softly, the laughter gradually getting louder and louder, and finally her shoulders shrugged uncontrollably and laughed out loud. With that look, that gesture, Allie and Derek looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and looking at Renly, they couldn't help but add a touch of anger and blame.
Afterwards, Heather waved his hand to stop his parents, "I'm fine. In fact, I'm fine. I know what I've been through, and I know what I'm going to experience, and without the courage, I won't wake up. ." The words were still a little vague, and some syllables were swallowed by the throat, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.
Heather raised his head and looked at Renly again, his eyes were communicating silently, and then he spoke, word by word, very clearly, "I, no, give up." The words were so relaxed, yet so firm.
There was a smile in Renly's eyes. Only those who have truly experienced life and death, and only those who have truly been in it, can feel the pain and torment, and can understand each other's determination and choice. He couldn't understand the feelings of his parents because he never became a father; but he could understand the feelings of the patients because he felt the same way.
"Then, can I understand that I can still use that song?" Renly changed the subject and said half-jokingly, "Of course, the copyright fee will be charged to your account on a regular basis."
"Wait, wait." Derek couldn't keep up with the speed and interrupted the conversation between the two. "What are you talking about? Which song? What copyright? What lawyer?"
Renly and Heather exchanged glances, and then they both showed embarrassed expressions, how to explain this:
The inspiration for "Say You Won't Give Up" was Heather's diary, and Renly wrote the song based on those essays; Heather's crush is Renly, but the problem is, Renly only regards Heather as a friend; This song was created, which outlines Heather's vision and beauty for the future, and also tells the bitterness and happiness of secret love. Of course, most importantly, refuse to give up.
It's a bit complicated and a bit confusing. Not only that, but they have to explain it in front of Heather's father at this time? This doesn't sound like a good idea.

What's more, this is Heather's secret. It's one thing to hide in the song, and it's another thing to reveal the story behind the song now. Renly chose to shut up and remain a gentleman, leaving the decision to Heather.
Renly and Heather both laughed lightly, but Heather took the initiative to say, "I told you, you will definitely perform very well on the concert stage. Unfortunately, you are not performing at the Grammys, otherwise The whole world can see it. By the way, you will be at the Grammys, right?"
Actually changed the subject! Derek, who was standing beside him, was anxious and scratching his head.
