Chapter 11 Tang En and Sophia

Evan Doggety really doesn't know what he should be in. Is it that Wood's mother will continue to fall into a coma or wake up smoothly? He told Wood to talk about retirement when his mother wakes up. If Sophia wakes up, this matter will be put on the agenda. What should he do then? Do you agree with Wood's retirement request? Don't joke! He is only 32 years old, and he is the well-deserved core of Nottingham Forest. What should we do if he retires!

There was another thing that made him angry - the Arabs suddenly filled with negotiation progress.

What made him even more angry was that this matter was actually related to Wood!

George Wood suddenly asked for leave, and the team's prospects were cast in shadow. Moreover, these Arab pagans didn't know where to get the news that Wood might retire. In this case, they needed to reconsider their bid for Nottingham Forest.

Alan Adams was also very helpless about this. He believed that this was simply the trick of the Arabs. They were trying to find all excuses to lower their bids and strive to acquire Nottingham Forest at the lowest price. Otherwise, how could a player be comparable to a club?

If the Arabs used this excuse to lower the price, Evan Doggetti would not accept it.  I came to this Arab consortium to value their wealth and afford a large price.  I didn’t expect that the more I talked about the money, the less money I still had…

Now Evan Doggetty hopes that God can come and save himself.

There are fewer journalists outside Wilford than usual, and everyone knows why this is - compared with this, the Royal Medical College of Nottingham University is obviously more worthy of attention. Even among the players who are training here, some of them are absent-minded. They are on the training ground, but their hearts fly to the hospital. George hasn't appeared in front of everyone for two days, and no one knows how he is. Gareth Bale, Alonmitchel and others have a good relationship with him on weekdays, and they are not focused during training.

McCaulist saw it in his eyes. He was anxious. He had reminded the players not to focus on the outside of football. Preparing for the game with peace of mind is what they should do. But his words were useless, and the players were still distracted. You should know that they would go to Anfield to challenge the powerful Liverpool in the next game. That would not be an opponent that could be defeated casually, and Anfield was not a stadium that could be conquered by distracting. If the team's mind was not on the game, what would be the one who would welcome him as the head coach?

McCallister didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"After training, I'm going to the hospital to visit George and his mom." Bell said to Mitcher during the training interval, looking at each other.

Of course Mitcher knew what that meant. He also continued: "I'll go with you."

Bale laughed when he heard his answer. But the smile flashed across his face and changed his expression. Bale looked around and motioned Mitcher to play with his waist. He lay on the other party's ear and said, "I heard about it. George may retire..."

"What!!" Mitcher screamed, almost unable to believe his ears. He saw Bell gesture to him and asked him to whisper. He quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hear it?"

"The rumors came out of the hospital. It is said that someone overheard the conversation between George and his agent... It's just a rumor, I don't know whether it is true or not." Seeing that Mitcher seemed to have no intention of continuing training, Bell was about to leave the training ground now. He quickly spoke to comfort him.

Hearing the rumors, Mitcher calmed down again: "I don't believe... the captain is not that kind of person. Besides, he is only 32 years old, what kind of service will he retire?"

In fact, Bell just comforted Mitcher, but failed to comfort himself.  In his heart, he was always worried that George would retire.

Seeing Freddy Eastwood calling the players back to the training ground to continue training, Bell patted Mitcher on the shoulder, comforted him and said, "Don't think so much, we'll know after the training is over."

In the ward, only the sound of the instruments working was heard. George Wood was waiting in front of his mother's bed, holding his mother's hand gently and unwilling to let go. Vivian recorded various data on the instruments aside and sorted them into reports for doctors to make important references when diagnosing and treating them. The agent Billy Wood was trying to deal with the media that was becoming increasingly impatient. Some media guessed that Wood was about to retire. For a while, he was "excited" and twice as many reporters came to interview than yesterday. If all these reporters were allowed to come in, the daily work of the hospital would not need to be carried out.

While recording the data on the instrument, Vivian sneaked into Wood sitting in front of the bed. She had learned the latest rumors from the newspaper that Wood was going to retire. Although she was not a hard-core fan, she still knew about football. When the Forest team was the most glorious, she could see grand parades in the city at the end of the season every year to celebrate the Forest team winning another championship trophy. Besides, the hospital where she works always had a cooperative relationship with the English football team. How can it be reasonable to know nothing about football?

Is he really going to retire?

Vivian looked at Wood and thought.

Wood noticed someone was peeping at him, and he raised his head and happened to collide with Vivian's gaze. The frightened Vivian quickly turned his gaze away, turned it back to the instrument screen, and took a pen to make a flick on the notebook, pretending to record data. In fact, how could she have the heart to work?

Wood could feel someone peeking at her, and she could also feel that Wood did not look away immediately.

It seemed that an hour had passed, but in fact, the minute hand of the clock on the wall had only passed one square. Vivian felt Wood withdraw his eyes and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt strange when she relaxed. When she looked at Wood outside the ward, she didn't feel nervous or panic at all. Why is she feeling a lot of pressure when she was watching him now? It was as if he was a lion. And she was just a helpless prey in front of the lion...

After recording the data, Vivian should have gone out directly because her work was completed. But she said to Wood: "Mr. Wood, you should go and have a rest first..."

Wood raised his head again and looked at Vivian. This time Vivian did not hide, and she also looked directly at the other party.

Wood did not agree to the other party's proposal, but he said "Thank you."

Vivian knew that she could not persuade this stubborn man, and based on her experiences working here in the past two days, there might be someone in this world who could make Wood obedient, but she was in a coma on the hospital bed. Others probably couldn't persuade Wood to change his decided intentions, even if it was just a small matter of rest.

Vivian sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the ward door. She and Wood had never known each other. The first time she met was only two days ago, and she really had no position to think too much about Wood.

When she opened the door of the outside of the ward, she saw two people walking towards her from the end of the corridor. She knew one of them, Mr. Billywoods. The other person he accompanied was a little jealous, and for a moment she couldn't remember who it was.

"Mr. Woods." Vivian let out the door and greeted Wood's agent whom he had been familiar with these days.

"Miss Miller. How is George's mother going today?" Woods stopped and said to Vivienne.

"I haven't woken up yet, but my vital signs have stabilized." After answering the question from Woods, Vivian glanced at the person next to him. Because she felt that this person looked familiar. Suddenly, she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

How could Woox not see what she was thinking? So he simply pointed to the silent man beside him and introduced: "Mr. Tony Donne. I think you must have heard of this name, so I won't introduce it more." He smiled.

This name is so well-known, how could Vivian have never heard of it? Just four months ago. She just led England to win the world championship, and then announced her retirement and disappeared from people's sight. Unexpectedly...

Vivian quickly greeted the legend of English football: "Hello, Mr. Tang. I am Vivian Miller, a nurse who specializes in taking care of Ms. Sophia."

She stretched out her hand to Tang En, who also held her hand and stared at her eyes tightly.    It is not polite to look at this way, but Tang En has always been like this.  He is taking this opportunity to observe the other person.  The eyes are the windows of the soul, and you can see a lot of things when you look at the eyes.

While Tang En let go of his hand, he also moved his eyes away.

Vivian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The feeling of being stared at by him was similar to the feeling of being stared at by Wood just now, both of which made her feel very stressed.

Of course, Woods didn't know what happened when the two of them had their eyes intertwined. He introduced to Don: "Miss Miller is a very responsible nurse. With her taking care of Sophia, Wood and I were relieved."

Donn nodded: "Thank you for taking care of Wood's mother, Miss Miller."

Vivian smiled and replied: "This is my job. Mr. Tang En. No need to thank you."

The three of them had no more communication. After thanking Vivian, Donn and Woox walked into the ward, while Vivian closed the door and left here.

However, when she left the ground, she suddenly remembered that it was a recognized fact that Done and Wood had a good relationship. Maybe he could persuade Wood to change his mind? Mr. Wood appeared here with him, obviously he called Mr. Tang.

When Tang En entered the ward in the inner room, Wood clearly heard someone coming in, but did not look back. It was obvious that his mind was on his mother.

When Wood saw Wood's appearance that he didn't care about anything except his mother, he planned to remind him of the guests. But he was interrupted by Tang En's hand. On the way, Wood had already introduced Wood's recent state to him, but hearing it was false, seeing it was true. At the first glance when he saw Wood's back, Tang En felt that this time was very difficult.

Done stood behind Wood without saying a word, and the same was true for Wood. Until Wood felt something was wrong. He remembered that it seemed that someone had gone out and someone had come in just now, so he turned around...

When he saw Tang En standing in front of him, he could hardly believe his eyes, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Don't see Wood's face, but he felt heartbroken by what he saw. Sophia is the entire pillar of Wood, Don't doubt it at all. What he saw in front of him was just confirming this fact again. But it made him feel uncomfortable. His feelings for Wood were very complicated. It was not simply the relationship between the coach and the player, nor was it just the master-apprentice relationship that picked him up from the street and cultivated him into a talented man-apprentice relationship. That kind of complex emotions is difficult to explain in words.

"How many hours have you been sleeping together in the past two days?" Tang En asked.

"I... took less than five hours...." Facing Donn, who suddenly appeared in front of him, Wood's brain still didn't react, and he was a little stuttering when he spoke.

"Go and rest." Tang En's tone was unquestionable.

Wood's brain finally got normal. He shook his head and refused: "No, I want to accompany my mother."

"Stop teasing, George. When your mother wakes up, are you going to let her see your face, which is not human or ghost? Her beard is unshaven. Her eyes are deep, her hair is messy, and her whole body is filled with a smell of air conditioning that cannot be removed. Did you get off the training ground? Have you not taken a shower yet? Are you going to make your mother faint again?"

While watching the show, Wux had to admit that Tang En was better than him in his mouth, and the special relationship between him and Wood also allowed him to speak so unscrupulously. There is no need to worry about being strongly rebounded by Wood. He can't do it...

Tang En's words hit the nail on the head, pointing to Wood's most vulnerable part - Mom. He dared not ignore him when he spoke in the name of Mom.

Wood was still a little hesitant, but his attitude had loosened a lot. Don En added another fire.

"What are you still doing? Take a shower and go to have a good sleep, and then when your mother wakes up, let her see a healthy you. Do you want your mother to worry about you in the hospital bed? George. Do you know how many years your mother has been worried about you?"

This last sentence touched Wood's heart. He was not a ungrateful person. Of course, he knew that his mother had always been worried about him. When he was a child, he was worried that he would be as weak and sick as he was, so he couldn't bear to eat all the nutritious foods and delicious foods. He grew up and was worried that he would learn bad things like those bastards in the slums, and did all kinds of evil. He was eventually sent to prison, so she would rather be a prostitute than to earn money to send him to school, to get education, and find a decent job in the future. Later, when he finally became a professional player and was able to make a lot of money, Wood thought that his mother would not have to worry about him because he was an adult, but he didn't expect that his mother began to worry about his lifelong affairs again. He was worried that he could not find a girlfriend...

Wood stood up from his chair. “I’ll go take a shower.”

This is the VIP ward, which is the room for patients to rest. There is a reception room outside, a bed for accompanying staff to sleep, and a shower room, a bathroom, satellite TV, telephone, Internet and other facilities are all available. Wood rushed into the bathroom outside, and soon the sound of water rushing inside.

"It seems that I'm right to call you." Wux smiled.

Tang En didn't answer him. Wood had already given up his seat in front of the hospital bed, Tang En walked over and sat down.

He looked at the face on the hospital bed.

He still remembers the first time he saw this face.

At that time in Snington, everything he saw was gray, gray walls, gray roofs, gray sky, and everyone's face was gray, just like a black and white TV. The first color that caught his eyes and heart was Sophia, who was the only source of light in that small and dim room, the only color in this dark world.

He was distracted at that time.

Now he is still distracted.

The colors of the past are gradually fading away, and the light that once illuminated the entire room is slowly dimming. She closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed, her face gray, and her face is much more haggard than the last time Tang En saw her. Countless tubes and wires connected her body and those cold instruments, and she didn't feel angry at all.

Tang En stared blankly at Sophia lying on the hospital bed, recalling some things in a daze. Many years have passed, and he thought he had been forgotten all of them, but he didn't expect that it would rise from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

He gave her a violet dress, which made her breath in surprise.

In order to protect her from Corymore's frivolity, he confronted Corymore, who was then the first team coach in heavy rain.

On that ambiguous night, he and her were absent-mindedly waiting in the center of the room for George Wood who had not returned home...

In that past time, deep in my heart, did you ever fall in love with her for a moment?

When Donn was distracted, he heard the Woox behind him suddenly scream: "Madam!"

The divine thoughts returned to their positions in an instant. After he refocused his eyes, he saw Sophia staring at him with her eyes open.

"I'm so happy to see you, Mr. Tang En..."
