Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 739 - : Confusion and disorder caused by war

Chapter 739: Confusion and disorder caused by war

This was the first time, Li Wei felt himself stupid.

Because Li Wei didn’t know what to say, any words that came out seemed weak and powerless, any encouragement or comfort seemed condescending.

But the problem was, besides “Come on,” his mind was blank, standing in front of illness and the Grim Reaper, he could help in no way.

So clumsy, so helpless. Truly stupid to the core.

In a daze, Felix found back a bit of himself, looking at the two paramedics in the ambulance, his lips curling into a slight smile.

“This is Li Wei, our rookie Li Wei.”

The paramedic on the left glanced at Li Wei, “Yes, I know.” Then he looked at Felix, “He is our pride of Kansas City.”

Felix showed a contented smile, “And I am Li Wei’s friend.”

That little boast made both paramedics smile, “Yes, we’ve noticed, and we’re quite envious.”

One second, the conversation was proceeding normally, the next, it devolved into incoherent mumbling, as Felix, half-awake, half-asleep, bounced between light and darkness.

“I need to fight, just like a rookie, I will not give up easily.”

“But it hurts, it really hurts.”

“I’m sorry.”

Muffled, low sobs.

Li Wei sat helplessly to one side, looking up at the two paramedics, but they could not help either, “We have to wait for the medicine to take effect.”

“Rookie. Rookie…” Felix called out softly.

“We’re going to win the game, right?”

Li Wei was startled, and for a half-moment, he could not keep up with Felix’s thoughts, it took him a moment to realize that Felix was talking about next week’s divisional game.

“Can you tell me about it, our game against Indianapolis? Did we win? How did the game go?”

Felix was confused.

One moment, Felix clearly knew the divisional game had not yet started; the next, he thought it was over.

Li Wei wanted to tell Felix the truth, but the words just wouldn’t come out.

“…It was a tough game, but you know our Chieftains, we refuse to give up, to surrender, we always fight at Arrowhead Stadium until the last moment, we always show our resilience…”

Gradually, Li Wei saw a calmness appear on Felix’s cheeks.

All of a sudden, Li Wei’s heart clenched, he looked up at the two paramedics—

Could it be?

“The medicine is taking effect, you continue,” the paramedic on the left explained in a low voice.

Li Wei let out a gentle breath, trying to maintain a calm voice as he continued speaking.

In Li Wei’s voice, Felix no longer struggled or spoke, his brow smoothed out, and in this way, they raced all the way to the hospital.

A flurry of chaos ensued.

It was only after everything had settled down, Felix was in the ward, doctors busied themselves, and Li Wei could see no more, he sat down in the rest area, his tension and anxiety slightly relaxed, he then realized how taut his muscles were, he tried to relax a bit, but found it not so easy.

After waiting for a little longer, he could see Karen’s tired figure leaving the ICU in the distance, walking toward him with heavy steps.

At first glance, Karen saw Li Wei quickly stand up.

Karen knew how difficult this thing was, only those who had truly experienced it could understand, the patient suffered, the patient’s relatives also endured torment, what exactly the process entailed.

Moreover, Li Wei didn’t need and shouldn’t have to face such a thing.

For a moment, Karen also found it hard to describe her own feelings, gratitude, guilt, fear, anxiety; at the same time, deep down there was also a hint of resentment, she knew she shouldn’t, this had nothing to do with Li Wei, it was entirely Felix’s own actions, but just thinking about Felix possibly leaving forever, she couldn’t control herself.

The complex emotions left Karen exhausted.

But in the end, she opened her arms and gave Li Wei a hug—

“Thank you.”

It wasn’t Li Wei’s fault. And without Li Wei, things might have been even worse.

Karen forced herself to calm down, to regain her composure, she had just skirted death earlier that day, and there was no need to let the Devil join the fray as well.

Li Wei was still not quite comfortable with the embrace, trying to let go, but found that Karen clung to him tightly, her body trembling slightly, fear from the aftermath of a near disaster still rampaging inside her body.

Thinking it over, Li Wei didn’t resist and hugged Karen back.

Finally, Karen was the first to let go of Li Wei, she had regained control of herself, but the faint redness at the corners of her eyes still betrayed the tumult she had just been through.

Li Wei took a deep breath, “How is he doing now?”

Karen, “He, he’s fighting. It’s tough, the blood pressure is very low, his heart…” Her words couldn’t make it to the end before Karen held her breath.

Li Wei felt uncomfortable, “What did the doctor say?”

Hastily composing herself, Karen said, “It’s still observation, to see how his body reacts to the medication, and then proceed with chemotherapy, we have to step by step see the treatment’s effectiveness. Right now…” Almost on the verge of collapsing, Karen quickly took a deep breath, “Right now we need to take things one step at a time.”

“Oh, God.”

In the end, Karen couldn’t contain herself, her eyes welling up with tears.

“I know, I know I sound like a greedy, annoying wretch. When it relapsed, the doctors said he may only have ten months at most, we could only take it step by step, and now it’s been over eleven months, I’ve stolen an extra month from the Grim Reaper, he’s still with me.”

“But…”

“I really hope Felix can stay, I can’t bear it, I’m not ready to let him go…”

“He shouldn’t, he’s only seventeen, his life has just begun, he shouldn’t be facing these…”

“Oh, sorry. I really… can’t…”

Saying this, Karen began to tremble uncontrollably.

Li Wei too held his breath, clenching his teeth to keep himself calm, “Karen, he’s still fighting, right?”

“Felix is a tough guy, he’s been fighting, he’s been holding on, even though he knows what the end might be, he’s never given up.”

“We should stand with him, finish this battle together. Just like a sports team.”

Karen looked at Li Wei, tears glistening in her eyes, she managed a slight smile, “Just like the Chieftain?”

For the first time, Li Wei felt how closely connected the team was with this city, with the people living on this land. The team was not just a professional sports team competing in athletics but also an inseparable part of their lives, his own family and life tightly woven around the team,

And that was why, when the Oakland Raiders announced they would soon relocate to Las Vegas, the city was plunged into profound despair.

Likewise, the team’s victories and defeats, its rises and falls, were not just about winning or losing but more about an embodiment of life’s aspirations and beliefs.

Therefore, the players could treat the game as a job, a business partnership, but at the same time, they could also bear the weight of a city and fight shoulder to shoulder.

Now, Li Wei understood as well, then he nodded affirmatively, “Just like the Chieftain.”
