Chapter 1205: Chapter 1204: Nonstop

The private jet landed smoothly at Kansas City Airport, and the short two-hour flight time passed by too quickly to notice.

Li Wei gazed out of the porthole at the runway receding into the distance, his eyes unfocused—

This season, everything has been too smooth, contract renewal, league status, season journey, tactical integration, team atmosphere, everything is on track.

Facing difficulties, facing setbacks, they all united together in one mind, overcoming challenges with unprecedented energy and belief.

Aiming for a three-peat.

But Li Wei kept reminding himself not to be overwhelmed by victory, too smooth, too confident can instead be blindsided by one’s own blindness.

He knew that darkness was always lurking, waiting to strike a heavy blow when they relax their vigilance or become complacent, ultimately losing everything.

Yet he didn’t expect it to lurk there, effortlessly destroying defenses with an unexpected and overwhelming posture, leaving them powerless to resist.

This is unfair.

Last season, Annie wasn’t able to see them defend their title.

This season, Felix might not even be able to accompany them through the season?

More importantly, Felix is not yet eighteen, a young and vibrant life struggling on the brink of life and death, hoping for a tomorrow that may never come, his future could end abruptly at any time.

Just imagining the possibility in his mind, Li Wei couldn’t breathe.

A ball of anger burned in his chest.

More than sadness and pain, it’s anger, the helpless frustration and powerless smallness that made the anger uncontrollably explode in his chest.

This did not alleviate even slightly due to experiencing Annie’s situation; on the contrary, after going through Annie’s departure, facing such a situation again, the anger burned tenfold, hundredfold.

So, what have they been fighting and struggling for all this time?

“…Mr. Li Wei.”

The plane landed, a black sedan and a man in a black suit awaited respectfully on the tarmac, it was clear this was arranged by Net-Jet.

Upon learning of Li Wei’s situation, Net-Jet fully cooperated.

They not only arranged a private jet immediately but also quickly planned the route, ensuring that Li Wei’s flight could take off as soon as possible, returning to Kansas City.

After landing, a follow-up car was arranged to take Li Wei to the hospital.

In less than three hours, Li Wei was already back.

However, Li Wei couldn’t calm down, he couldn’t just head to the hospital directly, three hours was still not enough to soothing his boiling mood, quieting the noisy voices, the anger grew stronger.

Without warning, Li Wei started sprinting wildly across the empty tarmac.

Ah, ahhhh.

Li Wei unleashed his speed completely, sprinting with all his might, running without restraint, seemingly chasing the footsteps of the Death God, also like chasing the trace of light, transforming all anger, all agitation, all oppression into power to stomp the ground fiercely, propelling his body to sprint at full force.

Until his lungs started burning.

Pant, pant.

Li Wei stood on the empty tarmac, looking at the clouds quietly floating in the sky, the golden sunlight outlining a beautiful edge, his turbulent emotions finally slightly calmed down, reining in the reins of reason at the edge of the cliff.

He cannot collapse, he cannot surrender.

He refuses fear.

This should not be the end.

Then, he turned back, ran back to the plane, smiled at the man in the black suit, “Sorry, took a little extra time, we can go now.”

…

Net-Jet’s efficiency was commendable, when Li Wei arrived at the hospital, it was quiet, empty, not a trace of anyone else.

It seemed the Kansas City Chiefs players, Old Oak Tavern fans were probably still busy, Li Wei even managed to arrive ahead of them.

The hospital corridor, straight, illuminated with bright lights casting on the stark white walls, the whole world was thrown into a daze, dizzying.

Li Wei never liked hospitals.

The light. The smell. The atmosphere.

Those faces, either numb or in pain, all of it was terrifying, every cell in the body was screaming:

Run away.

When the doctors and nurses saw Li Wei, they immediately recognized this city hero, but their excited ecstatic expressions soon calmed down, they subsequently realized the true reason for Li Wei’s presence here, between their brows inevitably exuding sadness and loss.

Following directions, Li Wei easily found the location of the ward.

Outside the ward, Karen supported her knees with her hands, her head buried deep in her arms, her slightly trembling shoulders seemed to be feeling the invisible darkness layer upon layer crushing down, almost engulfing her.

This scene made Li Wei hesitate slightly, but he still took a deep breath to regain calmness and called out.

“Karen…”

Karen reflexively raised her head, seeing Li Wei in front of her, instinctively raised her hand, hurriedly wiping her tears and snot, giving a big smile, returning to her usual demeanor, quickly standing up, proudly greeting Li Wei.

“Hey, rookie.”

Karen took the initiative to greet.

“Felix… he…”

The words couldn’t continue, Karen helplessly stood in place, tears continuously fell like broken pearls, the smile remained on her lips but she was crying silently, heart-wrenching.

Unexpectedly, it hit Li Wei hard, warmth flooded his eyes.

Li Wei took the initiative to step forward, opened his arms to give this mother a hug, he couldn’t imagine what Karen had gone through alone.

Karen kept holding back, burying her head in Li Wei’s embrace while still muttering vaguely, “Sorry… sorry…” Saying so, she completely broke down, just crying deeply without any sound.

That kind of despair was truly cruel.

Li Wei tried to comfort, but found that comfort was also a kind of cruelty.

What should he say, everything will be alright? Keep going, keep holding on? Or eventually the storm will pass?

These indifferent clichés only gave Karen a false hope, like a dagger stabbing deeply into Karen’s wound.

Because they both knew, not everything would be alright, and not just keep going, keep holding on and sunshine of hope would come.

Life, after all, is not competitive sports.

Sometimes, comfort can be a form of harm; sometimes, support can also become a kind of pressure; sometimes, hope might be the poison leading to pain.

Words, at this moment, appeared so pale and powerless, Li Wei’s only option was to accompany her through the most difficult, darkest time.

When Karen was ready, she could just lift her head and see his figure. Always there.

Silently, silently, Karen let out all her breakdown and vulnerability, her entire heart curled up together, until there was no voice left to cry.

Then, Karen finally realized her loss of composure, quickly stood straight, wiped the embarrassment off her cheeks.

Deep breath, but still chaotic.

Another deep breath, Karen whispered, “Sorry, I… really sorry…”
