"After Sally was diagnosed with chronic leukemia at the age of ten, our whole family has been in a tense state. In the past few years, all changes were very slow, but Sally had already known her condition early on, and she always thought she could not survive...at the age of sixteen..."

Speaking of this, Jessica's voice choked slightly. Although she quickly concealed the past, the irrepressible tremor still revealed her inner fragility. Sally is sixteen this year.

I always thought that day would never come, but suddenly, without any warning, the possibility suddenly hit the skin like a leech, which made people shudder. "Before this, Sally had always been very sensible. She never complained, cried, and wouldn't lose her temper. She just accepted all this calmly. We know that she just didn't want to add burden to us..."

Jessica's voice paused slightly. Although she said nothing, Hugo knew that her daughter's sensibility actually made her parents even more sad. They should have taken care of her daughter and comforted her, but now it was her daughter who understands them. In the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, the insignificance of human power has been magnified countless times.

"Later she heard you performing in Memphis on the radio, and life began to change drastically, especially after seeing you, I don't know what she talked to you, that was the first time I heard your name." Jessica pointed to Hugo, Amoeba Music, the name awakened the distant memory of glory to death, "But after that, she had what she wanted to do for the first time, she wanted to try something different for the first time, and she had a new goal for the first time..."

A gratified smile appeared on Jessica's face. Compared to her "mature and sensible" daughter, she hoped that her daughter, who was only thirteen years old, would become cheerful and lively. She even hoped that her daughter could lose her temper and vent her inner dissatisfaction. Because Sally was just a child who had not grown up, she should not bear so many heavy things.

After that, things became familiar. "Until the end of last year, Sally's condition suddenly worsened. The doctor said that it had a lesion and entered the acceleration period... After attending the premiere of "Death-infernal Walk", Sally was hospitalized." Jessica was pieced together the lost puzzles bit by bit, connecting the causes and consequences of all things. "Just after the Battle of the Century in September, Sally's condition worsened again and entered the period of rapid change. For a week, she could not get out of the hospital bed..."

Jessica's voice fell silent, and she still couldn't elaborate on the memories one by one. "Before the tour started, Sally told me and her father that she had to participate in this tour, which was the first dream she wanted to really pursue in her life, and perhaps the last one."

Jessica's first reaction was that she was strongly opposed. She could not accept the fact that her daughter's life was almost gone, but Sally's biggest wish was to complete the tour with a rock band, and she was still running around, bumpy and dusty. She couldn't accept it, and she felt it was extremely ridiculous. She even began to hysteria, quarrel with Robin, quarrel with Sally, quarrel with doctors, quarrel with nurses, and refused the help of others in the family, just wanted to resist everything in the world.

But in the end, Jessica was convinced by Sally. Maybe this was the last journey of Sally's life, maybe not; but as Sally's mother, she could at least be sure that Sally could really go back at her own wishes, even if it was just once, she hoped that Sally had no regrets in her heart, let alone regrets. Even though she knew that this was impossible, she could at least try her best to see.

Jessica's story is over, but those simple words cannot describe the thrillingness in life. Many times, deaths that once thought were extremely far away were actually very close to her. Hugo once witnessed Zhang Xiaoye's death with his own eyes, experienced the fear of Pedro's verge of death, and now he felt the sickle of the god of death hanging high above Sally's head.

Pedro felt that all the band's eyes were projecting towards him, but at this time he had no intention of responding, because the surging inside almost swallowed him.

He was once so close to Death, and his face-to-face breath was so clear that he could even feel the cold blade slowly passing through his throat. Fortunately, he finally escaped from the constraints of Death. However, on the tour recently, the temptation of poisons and drugs came again, even more fierce than ever before. This time, everyone, including Hugo, did not persuade him anymore, but just let him make his own choices. His reason was already unstoppable.

But now, he found that Sally wanted to continue living so tenaciously because she still had many dreams that had not come true. Her life had just begun. She was even a child... But he was so stupid that he chose to embrace the embrace of the God of Death, which once made him extremely scared, and he was almost about to throw himself into his arms again.

Pedro felt so small as never before.

"Jessica, we...uh, can we go in and see Sally?" Neil spoke for the first time, but his voice was filled with unconcealed fatigue and heavyness.

Jessica showed an apology expression, "Sorry, the hospital has regulations that only immediate relatives can enter. Because Sally has just escaped from the danger period..."

Before she could finish her words, Neil waved his hand, "It's okay, everything must be based on Sally. We just come and see her, and we can't help. Believe me, although I have known Sally as long as you have been, I know that she is a little girl who never gives up."

Jessica smiled slightly, and her eyes couldn't help but feel a little warmer. She turned her head in a mess and wiped the corners of her eyes. She turned around and saw the intensive care unit not far away. At this time, it was still silent, and the large areas of white made the surroundings quiet and a little cunning.

Jessica bit her lips slightly, as if she had made up her mind, turned her head and looked over, "But I think Sally would want to see you. If you can talk to her, maybe she would be happy. Of course, I know this request is a bit too much, please forgive my rudeness..."

Neil and others looked at Hugo. They all knew that Sally's favorite was Hugo. Hugo had an extraordinary weight in her heart, not just an idol, but also a kind of faith. Hugo felt his shoulders pressing down heavily, making him breathless.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Hugo knew this clearly, and he planned to shoulder this responsibility, otherwise he would not choose to cooperate with the Grayson Gift Foundation to contribute to charity. "If Sally didn't disturb her rest, I hope to get such an opportunity. You know, tomorrow is the concert in Denver. I always feel that there is nothing missing without seeing Sally."

Hugo's understanding resolved Jessica's concerns, which made her chuckled, "As long as you don't dislike the trouble."

Looking back at his teammates, Hugo then walked forward with Jessica. When he passed by Pedro, he patted Hugo on the shoulder and said hoarsely, "Remember to ask Sally, whether she likes you more or me." A joke made everyone chuckle, but the bitterness in his smile could hardly be concealed.

Entering the intensive ward is not an easy task. Hugo first disinfected it, then put on protective clothing, and disinfected it again, so he was able to enter. Although he did not wear a mask like on the TV, such a cautious procedure still made Hugo's heart slowly sink, because he knew that this meant that Sally's condition was very serious and very prone to infection, so multiple protections were required.

Walking into the whole snow-white room, the dark blue light seemed to drop the temperature a little, and the smell of disinfectant under the nose was always lingering, just like lingering smoke, firmly grasping Hugo's wrists and ankles, and every step was so difficult.

Then Hugo saw Sally.

At this time, Sally was lying peacefully on the hospital bed, wearing a lake blue hospital gown. Apart from the little bits on her arms, Sally seemed to look no different, just fell asleep. Such calmness made Hugo's pace slow down.

Jessica walked forward and patted Sally on the shoulder. Sally slowly opened her eyes. After her eyes adapted to the light, she saw clearly the person in front of her and chuckled, "Hey, mom, how long have I slept?"

"A moment, just a little while." Jessica smiled gently, the beauty on her face was intoxicating, "Hey, I brought a special visitor, you can see who it is."

Sally turned her head to look at the direction of her mother's fingers, and then Hugo saw Sally's pale cheeks, without any blood or even pale, as if even the blood vessels hidden under her skin could be seen clearly. The lips without any color were like a dry desert, but at this time the lips were gently outlined, and a bright smile appeared, like a sunrise that penetrated the shadows in the depths of the dense sea of ​​clouds and burst out with infinite light.

"Oh, God, Hugo, I hope I will not be rude in this way. I originally imagined that the best image could be left in your mind forever." Sally said softly, as if she was terrified of fear that the dust would be alarmed.

The disinfectant under the nose began to boil, and the whiteness in all directions calmed the world, only the pungent smell of the potion was like a cloud. Hugo lowered his chin slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which stunned the time in an instant, "Hey, sweetheart, you look perfect, the only imperfection is that the air quality here is really bad."

A word made Sally stunned and laughed out loud.
