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

——Do you think it is cruel for a person to know when he will die?

"Rosie's heart is very stable, there's no problem, but you still have to be careful not to do too much exercise. I heard Kailani say that you want to play motorcycles recently, so don't even think about it. The load on the heart is too great ..."

Charlie Smith is an authority on heart surgery on the east coast, and he has been Rosie's attending doctor since she was eight years old. It can be said that he watched Rosie grow up, and developed a good relationship with the Mathers couple and Kailani. So personal that every time Rosie comes to the hospital for an examination, she can't help nagging like her elders.

Facing the trivial and concerned words of the doctor who was about the same age as her parents, Rosie just smiled and nodded and said yes, she let the nurse pull out the electrode pads attached to her chest, then buttoned up her coat, and started from the examination slowly. Sitting up on the bed in the room.

The nurse was packing up the electrocardiograph, and Dr. Smith was writing the medical records with his back facing her. There were only a few people in this small consulting room, but it was quiet and orderly.Yang Guan quietly crawled out from the gap in the blinds, and landed mischievously on the edge of Dr. Smith's white coat.Rosie's eyes were attracted by this ray of sunlight, and then her eyes went up, and she saw Dr. Smith's gray hair at the temples, and his slightly trembling shoulders while writing.

Now that hospitals are generally computerized, Dr. Smith still maintains the habit of writing medical records by hand. He has a very beautiful cursive hand, and he also taught Rosie when she started to learn to write. His writing habits are so familiar that he can tell which letter he is writing just by listening to the rubbing sound of the nib of the pen against the paper.

While writing, Dr. Smith said, "Today should be the first day of school. Your scheduled review should be on the weekend. Why did you skip class and come here today?"

Rosie was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it, and said, "I'm going to watch the school's motorcycle club competition, and I'll come to the hospital for a check-up by the way."

Dr. Smith stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at her, the sunlight crawled to his side face, hugging his almost light gray eyes, he frowned slightly, and said, "Rosie, What did I just say?"

Rosie narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I lied to you, Charlie."

This is the first day of school. As early as half a month ago, she had already made an appointment for this weekend's re-examination. Originally, her parents planned to accompany her. Mrs. Mathers also booked a room near the hospital. Italian restaurant, the family of three intends to come here after the inspection to accompany her to enjoy her first weekend after school starts.

But the day before school started, the two of them had new work tasks, so they had to book tickets to fly to Europe, and the return date was still far away.Rosie has long been accustomed to the busyness of her parents' work, and she might have pouted her lips when she was a child, but now she can smile and let her parents take turns to print a farewell kiss on her forehead, and then lean on the gate with her arms crossed , Watching the parents with suitcases get on the car to the airport.

After getting in the car, Mrs. Mathers lowered the car window and blew her a kiss, and said with apologetic expression: "Baby Rosie, mom is sorry for you, let you go to the hospital for an examination by yourself, and wait for me to come back from here." I'll take you to Long Island for vacation."

"Okay, Mom." Rosie said with a smile, "The sunshine in Cannes is very beautiful, you have to try to enjoy it, and don't keep immersing yourself in the guilt for me."

When the car completely disappeared among the tree-lined roads in the residential area, she put down her waving right hand, turned around and returned to the house, and took the glass of still warm milk on the dining table.

Kelanie was in the kitchen preparing dinner, turning on the oven and asking, "Rosie, what time do you leave for school tomorrow? Do you want me to drive you?"

Rosie took a sip of milk and wiped the milk stains on her lips with the back of her hand. She took out her phone and started the countdown.

There are still 24 hours.

"No need for Kailani, I'll just take the subway there tomorrow morning."

She got up early on this day, warmed up the milk by herself, drank the sandwich that Kailani had made the night before, took advantage of the rising sun, and walked out of her courtyard quickly, and smiled when she met every neighbor Say hello, including the boy next door named Osborne who just moved in.

Someone would ask her where she was going to go when she got up so early, and after getting the answer of going to school, she asked with concern: "So how is Rosie's health recently?"

She replied with a smile: "The state is good recently, nothing serious."

"That's good, don't go too fast, have you brought nitroglycerin with you? Be careful on the road."

……

From the door of the house to the door of the residential area, she responded with a smile to everyone's concern, without any impatience. Even the big golden retriever raised by the security guard jumped towards her, and she squatted down/body up, hugging Intimacy with its neck.

Everyone knew that Rosie Mathers was a gentle and patient person.

It's just that no one knew, she buried her face in the golden retriever's ear, and said softly: "Goodbye."

This morning, she used it to say goodbye.

"I didn't know Rosie that you actually learned how to lie." Dr. Smith's frowning brows slowly eased, and a helpless smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"People will always change, Charlie, I not only learned to skip class, but also learned to lie to you." Rosie also followed him and curled her lips. She stared at Dr. Smith's eyes, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Dr. Smith's office. The alarm clock on the table, after seeing the scale of the hour and minute hands, paused and said, "Can you have lunch with me?"

Dr. Smith was stunned, and subconsciously raised his wrist to look at the time: "It's already a quarter past eleven. I just made an appointment for lunch with my wife at noon. I..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Rosie interrupted him with a smile, "Next time... next time, maybe there is still a chance."

She lowered her head and looked at the countdown on the phone in her hand.

There are still five hours.

It was already noon when she walked out of the hospital clutching the medical record.

The power of the sun in September is still strong, and it can still be described as a scorching sun. Even standing under the shade of a tree, she couldn't get a sliver of coolness, but the dense camphor tree leaves on the roadside blocked the glare of the sun, allowing her to see clearly. The paragraphs of beautiful and complicated cursive English in this booklet.

She lightly touched the strokes with her right hand, until the signature of "Charlie Smith" at the end, she suddenly felt that her vision was a little blurred, and she also felt a dull pain in her chest.

She immediately wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, took out a bottle of nitroglycerin from her schoolbag, and put it under her tongue. After a while, she finally recovered.

[Countdown, four hours and three minutes. 】

She took the bus to Brooklyn and missed the rush hour for school and work. There were only a few old people and Latin Americans dressed as tourists on the bus. Dry tears, but when she passed by, the young Latino boy saw the motorcycle charm on her schoolbag and said in not-so-standard English: "Britten V1000!"

She turned her head, smiled at the boy, took off the pendant, and handed it to him: "Take it as a gift from New York. Welcome to New York."

[Countdown, two hours and 53 minutes. 】

Rosie went to the fried chicken restaurant she had heard from her classmates. When the liberal arts classmate described this fried chicken restaurant, she exhausted all the modifiers representing praise, and finally came to a conclusion: every living Everyone in Brooklyn has been amazed by this fried chicken.

She thought that the entrance of this amazing fried chicken shop in Brooklyn should be full of people, but when she arrived, there was no customer in front of the shop, only an old Asian man in a white vest, waving a cattail fan, following the obscure words on the radio. The music he understood shook his head.

After seeing Rosie, he stopped shaking his head and said, "How many?"

"Fill my bag," said Rosie.

"Okay." The old man responded, humming a song and started frying chicken, "Is the little girl going on an outing?"

Rosie replied: "Let's go for a picnic...to a place far, far away."

"Then be careful. I heard that a group of terrorists have been wandering around New York recently, and the Avengers have been dispatched."

"Thank you..." Rosy looked at the chicken chops rolling in the frying pan, and suddenly asked, "Old man, do you... think it's cruel for a person to know the date of his death?"

"No." The old man said with a smile, "At least I have given enough time to do what I want to do."

Rosie smiled and said, "I want to ride a motorcycle, run wildly on the plastic track, and... tell the person I like about myself, but I can't do it."

"Why?" said the old man, "These should be very simple things."

"It may be easy for others, but it is difficult for me."

Shortly after she was born, she was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. She passed out on the spot while running wildly with the neighbor's children, and was banned from all strenuous exercise since then.She is very sensible, even if she can only watch her friends play football and chase each other from the window every day, she has never expressed any dissatisfaction.

At the age of eight, she was taken by her parents to the best children's cardiac surgery hospital in New York City, where she met Dr. Charlie Smith, who had just received a doctorate in cardiac surgery.

The young and handsome doctor squatted down and handed a pink Hello Kitty in front of her. His eyes were at the same level as hers, and his silver-gray eyes were filled with a gentle smile: "Hello, Rosie, can you Call me Charlie, and I will be your attending physician from now on."

At that time, she didn't understand what her sudden palpitations meant, but she understood the mechanical voice that suddenly sounded in her mind.

[Countdown, 13 years. 】

"So, what do you wish for?"

"I hope...all those who love me and those I love will live their lives happily."

[Countdown, 2 minutes. 】

Rosie walked out of the fried chicken shop with a schoolbag full of fried chicken. Before she could walk down the last step, the dull pain spread from her chest to her brain again. She staggered forward and fell on the steps. Next, the schoolbag was also thrown not far in front.

She gritted her teeth, and stretched out her hand to her schoolbag. Besides the fried chicken, there was also the bottle of her life-saving medicine in the schoolbag.

The owner of the fried chicken shop saw her fall down the stairs and rushed out of the shop to help her up, when screams came from around.

"Hulk!"

"iron Man!"

"My God they're fighting! Run!"

Before the owner of the fried chicken shop had time to help the young girl who fell on the ground, he was pulled away by the owner of the convenience store next door and fled the scene.

At this moment, Rosie, who was lying on the ground, could no longer hear the voice beside her ears clearly. She only felt that the surrounding area was full of noises, like screams and grinning.

[Countdown, ten seconds. 】

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and her vision became clear. She seemed to see Mrs. Mathers' apologetic eyes looking at her from the car window, and she seemed to see the back of the person who was writing something. His shoulders trembled slightly with the movement of his hands.

"Next time... next time, maybe there is still a chance."

[Countdown, five seconds. 】
