Chapter 32 Section 30

Seeing that he was so ill, Helen refused to let her take him to the hospital, so anxious that she could only cry.After crying for a while, I cursed myself in my heart: I'm useless, what's the use of crying?Find a way! Couldn't she go to the doctor under a false name, she thought?It's nothing more than the fact that there is no medical insurance, just pay for it yourself, you can't just watch him die like this? She has never been to a hospital since she arrived in the United States, so she doesn't know what the procedures are for seeing a doctor in the United States. Will she ask for an SSN as soon as she goes up?She felt that the SSN in the United States was too powerful, controlling a person to death.Without an SSN, you can't do anything; with an SSN, it's like the US government has attached a tracker to you, and they can find out what you do.

She guessed that the first thing she did when she arrived at the hospital was to ask the patient for her SSN, and after typing it into the computer, all your information would be retrieved.Probably the SSN can't be edited casually, because there must be certain rules in the arrangement of SSN in the United States. I remember that every time the exam is over in school, the professor will print everyone's grades, but they will not give their names, but only the last four numbers of SSN.Strangely, no matter how many people are in the class, no two people ever have the same last four digits.It can be seen that the number of SSN is a bit learned, maybe the people or computers in the hospital can distinguish the true and false SSN.

Even if the hospital does not require SSN, she is a little afraid to send BENNY to the hospital, because his illness does not seem to be a common cold.Could it be from a previous gunshot wound?She seems to have seen in novels that some gunshot wounds will attack from time to time, especially the kind of gunshot wounds that have not been removed from the bullet, and the attack is like this, with high heat and cold, like a pendulum.If BENNY had a gunshot wound, he would have been discovered by a doctor as soon as he went to the hospital. She lifted the quilt and carefully inspected his body to see if there was a gunshot wound.She hadn't seen a gunshot wound, but it was probably a circular scar. She searched for such scars everywhere, but there were no such scars. There were only some small scars on the place where the tiger badge was hung on his chest.Reminiscent of what he said that the tiger brand blocked the bullet for him, she guessed that it might be caused by the ammunition that the bullet hit the tiger card and splashed around.

She saw a scar on his back, but it was obviously not a gunshot wound, it was more like a knife or something sharp. It might be a wound he had suffered in a weapon fight.He also had some scars on his legs, but they were not from gunshot wounds, more like kicks or falls. Now she checked everything but the area covered by his white panties.She tried to pull his panties down a few times to check, but finally gave up. She thought, no matter what crime he committed, it might be a serious one, otherwise why wouldn't he go to the hospital?Maybe the United States is looking for him everywhere? Then, even if he does not report his name and has no gunshot wounds, he can be recognized. For example, his appearance, fingerprints, blood type, DNA and other things have been recorded in the file. Sending him to the hospital is tantamount to Send him to jail.

She weighed death and prison for him for a while, and decided to wait until he was sent to the hospital, because he would not necessarily die, maybe he really just had a cold this time.But his condition was very bad, his lips were dry and cracked, the breath from his nostrils was very hot, and his face was no longer pale, but flushed.She couldn't think of any other way, so she had to give him Tylenol again, then fed him water, soaked it in cold water with a towel, wrung it dry, and applied it to his forehead. Sometimes he is awake, sometimes he is asleep.The waking time is short and the sleepy time is long.When he was awake, he smiled apologetically at her; when he was asleep, he remained motionless as if he had passed away.

She decided to go home and get those antibiotics. As long as she is not allergic to penicillin, she should be fine.Even if it's useless to eat, it's just useless, maybe it'll be better if you eat it.While he was awake, she whispered in his ear and asked, "BENNY, can you take penicillin? Are you allergic to penicillin?" He shook his head.She added: "I'll go back and get you medicine now, you have to hold on, those medicines will definitely cure you when I come back. HOLDON, BENNY, HOLDON. WAITFORME." His lips were moving, and she put her ear close to him, listening to him say: "Slow-slow-drive, don't-do nonsense. I'LL-WAITFORYOU."

She called her boss and said she was going home to get her medicine and asked him to listen to BENNY.Then she put the phone in BENNY's hand, ran downstairs, got into the car, and drove to her residence. When she got home, she found all the medicines, put them in a bag, took a change of clothes, and drove back to Benny.He was still asleep and his lips were all chapped and bleeding in several places.She quickly poured a glass of water, took some penicillin, and fed it to him. After a while, she didn't know if it was her psychological effect, she felt that his condition was better, and then she felt very hungry, remembering that she hadn't eaten anything since morning until now.She opened the refrigerator and saw several boxes of meals and a box of porridge, probably brought back by the boss just now.She took the porridge box and wanted to see if BENNY could eat some, but he was still lethargic, so she had to put it back in the refrigerator and open a box of meals by herself, ignoring weight loss, and quickly ate half of the box .

In the evening, he woke up and asked her for water.She was so happy that she immediately helped him up, let him lean on her body, fed him medicine once, and gave him water to drink.He drank and kept drinking like a very dry cow.When he had had enough, she wanted to put him back on the bed, but he refused, and said hoarsely: "Soak me——". She thought that the "soak" he said must mean "hug", so she sat on the bed and "soaked" his upper body, letting him sleep in her arms.He lay motionless in her arms, as if slipping into his stupor-like sleep again. At around nine o'clock, she was "soaking" him, dozing against the head of the bed, and he woke up again, stretched out his hand to touch her face, as if to see if there were tears on her face, she was delighted Ask: "Are you awake?"

He nodded and said, "I'm so hungry—" She jumped up excitedly and said, "Just know you're hungry!" She took out porridge from the refrigerator, warmed it up in the microwave, brought it to him, helped him into a half-sitting position, and began to feed him bit by bit. , he obediently let her feed him like a child.After eating half of the box, he refused to eat. She asked him to rinse his mouth and let him lie down again. When she put the lunch box back in the refrigerator and came back to his bedside, he was struggling to get up.She hurriedly pushed him down and said, "Hey, you are sick, don't move around!"

As soon as she let go, he started struggling to get out of bed again, and she pushed him down again.Lying there, he smiled weakly and said, "Stupid——, I need to go to the bathroom—" She was very embarrassed, how could she forget about it.He hasn't gone to the toilet for so long, she has almost forgotten the fact that he will need to go to the toilet, maybe the moisture just now has turned into sweat and flowed away, but now he is not sweating so much, and the urine is coming. She helped him up, helped him all the way to the bathroom, let him stand firmly in front of the TOILET, and wanted to exit.But he seemed so weak that he would fall if she let go, so she had to hold him from behind.His muscular back was right in front of her eyes, so close she couldn't breathe.

Just now she hugged him many times and wiped his sweat many times, but she didn't realize that she was teasing a man who was almost naked, she was only worried about his life or death.Now that the shadow of death seemed to be far away, his sexuality suddenly took over, and she felt suddenly embarrassed because she was hugging a man who was nine times out of ten naked and waiting for him to pee. She subconsciously relaxed her arms, and he suddenly fell backwards, so she had no choice but to hug him tightly again.She felt uncomfortable with her chest pressing against his back while he stood there, unable to pull it out.The two of them stood there awkwardly for a long time before she heard the noise and thought, thank God, it was finally pulled out, and there was no sound in the world that comforted her more than this. After he finished pulling, she helped him back to the bed and lay down again. She sat on the carpet beside the bed and watched him.He lay down for a while and said, "I'm so dirty, I want to wash 'rough'—" She also thought he was sweating too much and a hot bath might not do any harm.But she was a little worried. She asked, "Are you standing still? Will you fall?" "You hold me—" She looked at her watch, it was almost ten o'clock, and she suggested, "Wait for the boss to come back to help you, okay?" He shook his head: "I'm not a HOMO." She said, "Then I—wring out a towel to help you wipe it off?" He shook his head again: "It can't be wiped clean." She said, "Then I'll clean the bathtub and let you lie in it and wash—" He said coquettishly, "I will drown." She smiled helplessly, helped him to the bathroom, and let him stand in the bathtub.She supported him with one hand and boiled water for him with the other.He didn't take off his underwear, but the white underwear was soaked by water, as if he didn't wear it.She quickly got out, held his hand through the curtain, and asked him to wash it by himself.After a while, he agreed, and she handed him a dry bath towel. When he opened the curtain, she saw that he had already wrapped the towel around his waist, she helped him tighten it, helped him back to the bedroom, put him on the bed with the towel, and covered him with the quilt Stopped him and said, "I'm going to wash it too, I sweated a lot, and I was soaked in water just now—" She took a hasty shower, and when she was done, she put on a pajamas she had brought from China, with a collar and sleeves, like a straight, loose dress.Her pajamas are very conservative. She has seen people wearing pajamas like hers to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, so when she is at home, she no longer wears a bra after taking a shower, and just wears pajamas.But today she still wears a bra with respect. The bathroom was steamy and very hot. She came out and wiped her hair with a dry bath towel. She saw that the bath towel that BENNY was wearing just now had been thrown beside the bed. On it was the soaked underwear. She couldn't guess where he was. Did she change into a pair of underwear, or lay naked under the quilt.His eyes were a bit mischievous, she guessed he wasn't wearing underwear. While watching her wipe her hair with a bath towel, he asked her, "Are you going back today?" "I'll go back if you're okay—" He quickly said, "I have something to do—" "I won't go back if you have something to do." He seemed very happy and said, "Are you hungry? I'll cook noodles for you." She laughed: "Forget it, you can't even stand still, and you still cook noodles for me? The boss brought the food back. I'll eat some. You can eat some too. Do you want porridge?" He shook his head: "I want to eat your food." She didn't know if there was a pun in his words, she glanced at him, and saw that although his smile was weak, there was something bad in it.She laughed at him: "You are so sick and so dishonest?" "I'm so sick and you don't feel sorry for me?" "What on earth do you want to eat?" He smiled: "You don't give me what I want, and I don't want to eat what you give me. You should go and eat." She was really hungry, so she got up and took out food from the refrigerator in the kitchen, warmed it up, ate some in a hurry, then heated up the leftover porridge, brought it to his bedside, and asked him to eat, but he closed his eyes and did not answer, She pushed him and said, "Stop joking, get up and eat something." But he didn't move, she touched his forehead, it was cool.She was terrified. Could it be that the shower was broken just now?Or is the improvement just now just a flashback?She was so frightened that she began to cry, shaking him, and shouting, "BENNY, BENNY, what's the matter with you? Don't scare me, what's the matter with you?" After screaming for a while, he opened his eyes and said, "I'm cold, 'soaking' me—" She didn't care whether he was naked or not, so she quickly climbed onto the bed, hugged him, and let his whole body stick to her body as much as possible. When the boss came back from get off work, they all came to see how BENNY was "pretending to be a dog". Ah SAM moved his mattress next to BENNY's bed and said to Helen, "Auntie, you can take care of him here tonight. Sleep in the living room outside." The boss came over, looked at BENNY's eyelids for a while, and said, "There should be nothing wrong. Auntie, if he sleeps for too long and doesn't wake up, wake him up." She asked nervously, "What's going on with BENNY?" The boss said: "He has a cold. Auntie, don't make a fuss. We just lie down and lie down when we have a cold. I am the most pitiful. I can't even lie down when I am sick. Who told me to be so capable? The earth will not be far away from me." Turn around." She wasn't in the mood for joking, she just stared at BENNY in her arms, afraid that he would die if he didn't pay attention.The boys all left the room and moved to the boss' room to take a shower and go to the toilet, leaving this room to her and BENNY. She didn't dare to fall asleep, for she was afraid that the sleep would be too deep, and she forgot to check whether Benny needed to wake up.She just leaned against the head of the bed, turned on the light, and checked from time to time if he was still breathing.She insisted on not falling asleep, but in the middle of the night, she couldn't hold on anymore, so she hugged him and fell asleep.
