With the arrival of morning, Oahu gradually became lively. The breeze blowing from the sea used her gentle fingers to gently caress the skin in the special care unit that was dyed slightly red by the morning glow.

The white gauze curtains also brought into this ward a fresh air with a slightly salty smell unique to the ocean and the cheerful chirping of birds in the woods outside the window.

Ron opened his eyes. Yesterday on the plane, his illness broke out again. The high fever didn't subside until late at night. As soon as the fever subsided, Ron fell into a drowsy sleep on a hospital bed in Hawaii.

He had slept until now. The first thing that caught his eyes was the snow-white ceiling in the special care unit. Turning around, on the right side of the room, there was a tall floor-to-ceiling window. The cool sea breeze was blowing in from there through the window screen.

The curtains swayed...

The light in the morning was not too strong, and the large window through which the light came was so conspicuous that the other little nurse sitting next to the window was inadvertently ignored.

The little nurse sat down on the chair by the window. She put her hands on the back of the chair, and then rested her head on her hands. Her whole body was hidden in the shadow of the curtains. She was probably asleep, and she

The snow-white nurse uniform made her almost blend into the same white wall. If it weren't for the morning breeze gently lifting the curtains, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine right under her snow-white nurse cap and nurse cap.

With her little blonde hair, it might take a while for Ron to notice her.

Ron didn't disturb her. He knew that during the war, the nurses in the hospital worked very hard, so he just let her sleep. But now Ron was really thirsty, and the cup was right next to him, but

The kettle was a bit far away, and he had to get out of bed to reach it. Ron felt that he was in good spirits, as if he had completely recovered from his illness. Getting out of bed and walking a few steps shouldn't be a problem.

Gently lifting the thin blanket covering himself, Ron tiptoed out of bed. Fortunately, although his legs were slightly weak and he felt like he was floating on the clouds when he walked, these few steps

It was really no problem. He picked up the kettle and poured himself a pot of water. Maybe the sound of pouring water was a little louder, which alerted the little nurse.

"Why did you get up on your own!" A slightly panicked voice sounded from behind Ron. The voice was very pleasant, like a string of small wind chimes swaying in the morning breeze.

Ron held the water glass and slowly turned around.

"It's okay, I can't even carry a glass of water." Ron smiled at the little nurse. Only then did he see the little nurse who was sleeping with her head hanging down just now.

The little nurse had a round little face and two big blue eyes that were extremely beautiful, just like, well, just like those clear lakes Ron saw when he traveled to Jiuzhaigou. But obviously, she

I haven't had much rest these days, so my eyes are a little bloodshot.

"Oh, why don't you go back to the hospital bed!" The little nurse hurriedly came over, supported Ron, and pushed him onto the hospital bed.

Ron returned to the hospital bed obediently.

"You want to drink water, won't you let me help you? How can you get up on your own? What if you fall!..." The little nurse wrinkled her nose and began to educate Ron seriously, as if

Said: "Kid, you are not good."

"I just saw that you seemed to be asleep, and I didn't want to disturb you." Ron looked at her with a smile.

"Who said I fell asleep... I didn't... I just..." The little nurse's face turned red, and she didn't know whether it was from anxiety or embarrassment.

Ron continued to stare at her with a smile. Well, there seemed to be something wet reflecting on the corner of her cute mouth. In addition, there was a strand of hair stuck there. Look at her right arm, there was also something on it.

One area was also wet. Apparently he drooled after falling asleep.

"Why are you always staring at me and laughing?" The little nurse was so scared that Ron was staring at her.

"What delicious food did you dream about just now?"

"What nonsense are you talking about..." The little nurse was about to continue, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, and her face turned red again, "I'll be back in a minute. Don't move around!"

Thump thump thump, the little nurse ran out at a trot. Of course, she still carefully closed the door when she went out.

After a while, about the time of a cigarette, the little nurse came back again. This time, of course, the drool on the corners of her mouth and arms was gone, and even her hair had obviously been taken care of. She looked just as cute and cute as before.

Compared to this, it has a bit more quiet and delicate flavor, and there is also a small white box in the hand.

"Doctor Clyde has ordered you to take your temperature every hour." The nurse took out a thermometer and continued, "Open your mouth and hold it. Are you hungry? But I have arranged a blood test for you this morning.

, start immediately, and you can only eat after taking blood..."

"Uh, uh." Ron, who had a thermometer in his mouth, nodded to express his understanding.

"...Well, the doctor and the head nurse will come to see you later..." The little nurse hesitated, and finally whispered, "Don't tell Sister Lucia that I fell asleep during my shift in the morning...

…”

Ron couldn't help laughing when he looked at the red-faced little guy, but he still nodded seriously.

At 7:30, accompanied by the head nurse, chief physician Clyde and deputy chief physician Hanks came to Ron's ward.

"You look pretty good. If you don't have an attack today, then our compound drug treatment plan seems to be effective." After asking a few questions and doing some simple examinations, Dr. Clyde said to Ron

explain.

"Doctor, thank you."

"No, I should thank you." Dr. Clyde replied seriously, "Cases like yours are rare, and there are not many recorded cases in the United States. But I can meet someone like you. It's really amazing.

So lucky."

Ron looked into Dr. Clyde's eyes, and he suddenly felt that the way Dr. Clyde looked at him was like looking at a rare white mouse.

"Now, Ron, we need to take some of your blood samples for an examination." A gentle voice sounded in Ron's ear.

The person who spoke was the head nurse. When she first came in, Ron noticed her.

"Even the voice is almost exactly the same. She should be the nurse Lucia I know? She has the same green eyes and flaxen hair, but... her face is a bit fatter than the one in memory, and her hair is shorter.

And...and there is a big difference in temperament."

The female nurse named Lucia that Ron was familiar with before was more like a little girl who had not yet fully grown up. Her temperament was very close to that of the little nurse just now. But now the head nurse Lucia in front of her was

She appears gentle and calm, and this gentleness reveals a kind of competence that was not seen before. Of course, this kind of competence is completely different from Hailan's competence. Hailan sometimes likes to pretend to be cute, but Ron knows that she is by no means what she appears to be.

This guy is harmless to humans and animals. This guy is like a kind of orchid mantis that is a specialty of Taiwan. His cute appearance is just a means of hunting. Hailan's ability has the aura of killing and the chill of a dagger. And the person in front of him is

The competence of head nurse Lucia is a combination of accumulated experience and motherly love.

"Maybe, that Lucia has a sister." Ron thought.

Nurse Lucia skillfully tied a rubber tube around Ron's arm. It was neither loose nor tight. It was not as uncomfortable as when Ron was drawing blood. Then she used a piece of rubber tube to put some on it.

Gently wipe the cotton swab with antiseptic solution on the area where blood is to be drawn.

"Ron, we haven't seen each other for almost a year? I didn't expect you to wear the lieutenant colonel's epaulettes so quickly." Nurse Lucia inserted the needle into Ron's veins gently and accurately while talking.

to distract Ron.

It seemed that this was really the Lucia from before. Ron opened his eyes wide and looked at her in surprise.

"Is it really you? I almost didn't recognize you! I thought you were her sister."

"Ah, you said so. It seems that I have really aged a lot. Karaus said the same thing last time." Lucia gently untied the rubber tube tied to Ron's arm and slowly

Pull out the syringe, inject the blood sample into the test tube, label it, and answer with a smile.

"No, that's not what I meant," Ron quickly defended, "I meant that you have changed a lot, not that you have grown older. There is a huge difference."

"I don't think there is any difference." Lucia answered while packing her things.

"No, getting old is when the petals leave the branches and the big tree shakes off her jade-like leaves. But your changes are not like this. You know, when I look at you now, I think of the tree in front of my house.

My father planted a lot of roses on the side of that path. Sometimes, when the spring breeze blows overnight, early the next morning, when you open the window, you will see those buds that were still in bud.

In a short time, it turned into a delicate and touching rose."

"Oh, Ron, your change is amazing. In just one year, not only did you become a hero, you were promoted to lieutenant colonel, and you even became much better at making people happy." Lucia remained calm.

As for An Xian, the joy of meeting again after a long separation still flashed in her eyes.

"Ah, I'm not lying. You know, in April, three days are enough for some trees to bloom with branches, and in April of life, one year is enough for many similar things to happen.

Changes... By the way, didn't you go to Australia? How did you get here? How have you, um, I mean you and others, such as the old lieutenant colonel, and Tony, been doing over the past year?

"

"It's not a short story to talk about, but now is not the time to talk about these things in detail. I still have several patients who need to be seen, and you..." Lucia turned around and faced the doctor with a face full of gossip.

The little nurse said, "Annie, Lieutenant Colonel Ron can have breakfast now. You can go get his breakfast later."

"Okay, Sister Lucia." Anne replied sweetly, "I will take good care of him." She winked at Lucia mischievously, and added with a special emphasis, "I

I will definitely take good care of him." She said the word "him" with great emphasis.

By the time Anne entered the ward with breakfast, Lucia and Dr. Clyde had already left. Anne put breakfast - a cup of milk with honey and some bread with cheese and jam on Ron

on the bedside table, and then while shaking the hospital bed where Ron was lying, turning him from a lying position to a sitting position, he asked impatiently:

"Do you recognize Sister Lucia? You did so a year ago? Can you tell me what Sister Lucia looked like at that time?"

"Uh, uh," Ron, who had already stuffed several slices of bread into his mouth, replied vaguely, "then Hu'er or you can check the amount first."

"What are you talking about?" Annie adjusted the angle of the bed, turned her head, and saw that Ron's mouth was already stuffed with food.

"Hey, what's the rush? Don't choke!" She waved her little fist at Ron in protest, "I've never seen such delicious food like yours! It's like I've been starved for months."

"'It's like being starved for months'?" Ron thought, "Guys who have been starved for months will definitely not be as gentlemanly as I am when they see bread. Just like those little Japanese people in Guadalcanal. They are now

I'm just afraid that I'm so hungry that I can even eat people."
