Forced to focus on daily life [Comprehensive English and American]

At 06:30 the next morning, Rosie, who should have nimbly turned off the beeping alarm clock, and then jumped out of bed in a carp posture, struggled under the covers for more than ten minutes, but still failed to get up. Half of his face sank into the soft pillow, and he fell asleep again drowsily.

In the end, Kailani, who had prepared breakfast early but didn't wait for her to go downstairs, found her lying on the bed with a flushed face, hurriedly put a thick coat on her, and drove her to a nearby hospital.

From the fever clinic to the infusion hall, Rosie was in a hurry all the way. Although Rosie had a severe fever, she still had some consciousness. She clearly knew that she had not cooperated with Kailani's action of stuffing herself into the car, and she also remembered the fever clinic. The nurse said 'Why is Miss Mathers here again', remembering Kailani anxiously describing her symptoms to the attending physician, and even more remembering that at this point in time, the boss probably had packed up and walked slowly from his high-end apartment Came out of the elevator, waiting for her to pick him up in the red McLaren to work.

...However, all of this is no match for the heat wave rolling in the brain and the sleepiness pressing on the eyelids.

Rosie woke up in a daze, before her vision was clear, she first saw Kailani who was dozing off on the edge of the hospital bed with her hands on her forehead. She slowly moved her neck, the layout of the ward, and The thin infusion tube above gradually became clear in her field of vision. At first, she felt that the decoration of this ward was quite familiar, even the bunch of dahlias placed in a vase on the TV cabinet seemed familiar. Waiting for a 60s song She didn't realize it until country songs came through the window from the radio outside, the hospital on the Upper East Side that had been bought by her own owners.

That is, the one she just visited yesterday.

Rosie let out a sigh of relief, with despair in her eyes: "It's time to come, I can't escape."

Her little movement of tilting her neck woke up Kailani who was sitting by the bed. Kailani opened her eyes and saw that she had woken up. She was surprised at first, then breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said : "Thank God, Rosie, you're awake, I'll get you a cup of hot water."

Rosie nodded, and when Kailani turned her back to pour water, she looked up at the infusion stand above her head and the infusion bag with ordinary liquid left. She could feel the liquid medicine passing through the pipe and needle. It entered the blood vessel on the back of her hand. For her who was running a fever at this time, the temperature of the liquid was very low, which made the hand where she got the needle feel like it was buried in an iceberg and frozen stiff.

On the other side, Kailani picked up the hot water, walked towards her, and muttered, "You often caught colds when you were young, and the number of colds is less when you grow up, but every time it is very serious, so I let you Be careful, be careful, but you just can't listen..."

Rosie blinked at her, tilted her head, and smiled again: "I'm fine."

"It's okay if you say it's okay." Kailani put the water glass on the bedside table, "You don't know how worried I am about you, I'm afraid..." Her words got stuck in the middle, and she didn't continue, but Rosie just lowered her eyes and smiled, as if she didn't hear anything.

The former Brooklyn death knight Rosie Mathers' parents died early, and she lived with her aunt. She lived in a poor area of ​​Brooklyn and fought with boys who bullied her since she was a child. She defined it as "a necessary process for physical fitness." , My aunt died of illness when I was in college, and I dropped out of school myself, and started earning money to support myself early.

And now Rosie Mathers, a rich lady who lives on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, has both parents, doting to the point that she feels ashamed, has not dropped out of school, and is studying at Empire State University safely until she is about to graduate, male Not only will they not bully her, but they are also vying to be her knights, wishing they would even do the job of twisting the mineral water for her. Moreover, it is very easy for her to make friends, no need to worry about it, just smile at others.

Except that shortly after she was born, she was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect by a doctor.This is a relatively common congenital heart disease. Although she underwent surgery to repair the defect in the early stage, her health has not been good all the time. When she was a child, she had repeated colds and often stayed in the hospital. Even her growth and development were affected. , is obviously a head shorter than his peers, and his physique is much thinner, and his activity tolerance is extremely low. He was banned from high-energy sports and various stimulating entertainment activities by the attending physician.

Mrs. Mathers would occasionally mention things about her childhood to Rosie, but every time she did, she sighed and her eyes turned red, always afraid that Rosie would burn out when she was a child. : "My dear Mrs. Mathers, take a good look at me. Not only have I not burned, but I am not stupid."

Mrs. Mathers would give her a look and scratch her nose.

Although her body is not as good as before, Rosie has always been open-minded. It is always like this in the sky. If you have one thing, you will lose another thing.

She reached out to pick up the water glass on the bedside table, because her body temperature was too high, and her palm was separated from the glass water glass, and she didn't feel the water problem, so she was a little cautious when drinking, and at this time, Kailani Said: "Oh, by the way, when you were unconscious, your boss called several times. I thought he was in a hurry, so I answered the call and told him that you passed out and were hospitalized. By the way, I asked you for leave."

Rosie: "..."

She struggled to swallow the water into the esophagus, and then coughed a few times. Her eyes were filled with physiological tears caused by the cough. She turned her head and looked at Kailani: "You told the boss that I passed out and was hospitalized?"

Kailani nodded.

"It's just that she fell asleep with a high fever." Rosie said with a look of despair, "Why is it said that she passed out and was hospitalized?"

"If you talk about it seriously, you can ask for a few more days off." Kailani said rather proudly, "I learned it while watching TV at home."

Rosie said weakly: "...Kelani, you should know, my boss, he's a man who... can force me to sleep in the hospital for an extra night without any injuries."

Kailani: "...we just need to get out of the hospital ourselves."

Rosie: "No, we can't do it."

"why?"

"Because he opened the hospital."

"..."

After a brief silence, Kailani looked at the clock on the wall of the ward, and was ready to go home to prepare lunch for Rosie. She always felt that the meals outside were not as delicious as her own, let alone Rosie was sick now. No, I wanted to eat something nutritious, so I refused the lunch provided by the hospital, took the car keys, patted my chest and said that I would go home and prepare a caring meal for Rosie.

After Kailani left, the ward was temporarily quiet. Rosie sat there for a few minutes, and with her right hand that had not been pricked, she struggled to touch the TV remote control on the bedside table. She had just turned on the TV. , I heard a familiar old woman's voice from outside the window: "Come here, let me see this ginkgo tree."

Rosie replayed the voice in her mind, and then remembered Peggy Carter whom she had just met the day before.

She quickly flipped the remote control to the other side, lifted the quilt with her right hand, got off the bed with some awkward support, pushed the infusion stand, and walked slowly to the window.

Her ward is on the first floor, covered by the yellow clouds of ginkgo trees under the autumn sun, leaving only swaying and mottled light and shadow in the garden, and in this ginkgo forest, there is a woman in a cloak An old woman in a wheelchair with a camel shawl, leaning on the back of the wheelchair, talking to a tall and strong blond young man standing behind her, with a wrinkled face as warm as the autumn sun smile.

Rosie knew the story of Peggy and Steve 70 years ago.

A powerful and reliable superhero, a beautiful and capable female agent, met in the war-torn European continent. At the end of that unrivaled battle, the superhero who promised to dance with the female agent also fell into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. place.When he wakes up again, the time has moved forward 70 years, all his friends have passed away, and the girl he likes has also become an old woman.

Rosie always felt that this story was full of regret and resignation, but seeing the picture of the old woman and the young man outside the window, she miraculously felt a kind of peace.

It's just that this peace didn't last long. Steve suddenly took out his old Nokia mobile phone from his pocket. After looking at the content on the mobile phone, his face changed suddenly, and Peggy just turned around. , looked at his frowning brows, smiled, and said, "Go."

...

Steve nodded, holding the armrest of the wheelchair, and when he was about to push her back, she said, "It's okay, you go, I'll stay here for a while, and I can ask Martha later Miss Si pushed me back." She said, turning her head and looking towards Rosie with a smile on her face, while Rosie froze, then looked at Steve, and touched Steve Behind those blue eyes, an inexplicable sense of responsibility emerged spontaneously. She stood upright and raised her chest, and said loudly: "Captain, please rest assured that Ms. Carter will be handed over to me. I promise to complete the task!"

Steve: "..."

Peggy smiled: "What an interesting kid."

Steve exhaled, looked at Peggy, and said, "I'll come over as soon as the matter over there is resolved."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back," she looked up at Steve, with a gentler smile on her face, and said softly, "Now, go and save the world, my hero."
