Chapter 235: Commitment in the Ward

"Doctor, Christian, what exactly is going on and when will you recover?" I asked the doctor who came out of the emergency room anxiously.

"The anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament of the left knee are torn, bone marrow edema of the lateral femur condyle of the left knee and the platform of the tibia, fluid accumulation in the left knee joint, mild lateral displacement of the patella, mild swelling of the soft tissue around the left knee, and minor damage to the meniscus,..." A series of terms emerged from the white doctor's mouth.

"Is it serious?" I couldn't understand these terms, so I could only ask if it was serious or not.

"It's very serious!" said to me solemnly with white clothes.

"How serious?" I asked the doctor hopefully, hoping to hear some slightly cute words from his mouth.

"It's more serious than you think!" He looked white and seemed unable to communicate with me, a person who didn't understand medicine, so he answered my questions in this semi-humorous way.

"How long does it take to reply?" I already know the seriousness of the problem, but I hope Christian Leitner can still stand on the court.

"If you have conservative treatment, you will not stand on the court again. If you undergo minimally invasive arthroscopy surgery, it will take about 7 months." He finally said some words that I could understand in white.

"Can I still return to the same state as before?" My heart had sunk, but I still hoped to hear a positive answer.

"Only God knows this!" There is no negative word in the white answer, but he gave a negative answer. What God knows is that it is impossible to return to the past!

It goes without saying how important the knee is. As for how many stars' careers the knee has ruined, there are countless. Not to mention the far-reaching penny in the world - Anthony Hardaway, almost destroyed due to knee injury, Michael Jordan's successor - Grant Hill has become a popular player. The non-selling Jamal Marshburn in the hands of the magician Pat Riley had to retire early due to knee injury, and the genius power forward Antonio McDace is now due to knee injury.

After not playing a few games every year, Chris Webber, the Kings' ace of this season's playoffs, will also become a second-rate star due to a knee injury. General Gilbert Arenas in 2007 also retreated all his halo overnight due to a knee injury. As for Yao Ming and Brandon Roy, the future retired directly due to knee injury. There are countless stars such as Greg Oden, Jonathan Bend, Sean Livingston who should have become superstars due to knee injury.

I sat outside the emergency room, covering my eyes tightly with my hands, and tears couldn't help but flow down my fingers.

I just told Christian Letterner today that I would bring him a championship ring, and that happened, and it really made me unable to believe that I felt like God was joking with me, joking with Christian Letterner.

"Stop crying! Kwame! The Ji people have their own appearance, Christian will be fine!" Chauncey Billups took out a tissue and handed it to me, and kept comforting me and said, "Wipe, let's go in and take a look at Christian. Be happier, smile, we want to give Christian a little confidence, we want to make him confident to recover, we want to let him know that we are looking forward to his return..."

I nodded, picked up a tissue to wipe the tears from my face, cracked my mouth, and tried hard to make a very ugly smile, followed Chauncey Billups into the emergency room.

Michael Jordan and others were already talking to Christian Letterner. When they saw me coming in, Christian Letterner quickly greeted me and asked me to go to the edge of the hospital bed.

"The circles of my eyes are red, why? I'm crying?" Christian Letterner clearly saw the traces of my crying. He was so seriously injured that he comforted me.

My tears rolled in my eyes again.

"Why are you crying? Am I fine? I will be able to stand on the court again in a few months!" Christian Letterner tried to comfort me with the optimistic smile on his face.

I didn't know what to say, but I felt uncomfortable, and tears finally couldn't help it. It flowed down from the corner of my eyes. I knew that the possibility of Christian Letterner standing on the court again was slim. He is 33 years old this year, even though he is in good health, he no longer has the power of that year. Moreover, after such a serious injury, which team dares to ask him? After 8 months, his contract will face team options. I can't think of the reason why Michael Jordan will continue to stay with the Wizards, and he will be ruthlessly abandoned.

"Don't cry! Don't cry! Kwamei, you are all adults. If you cry, others will laugh at me. Let's not cry! Let's not cry..." Christian kept comforting me, but gradually his voice choked up and tears flowed down his cheeks.

Everyone wants to live strong, everyone hopes to be a great man, grit their teeth and survive all the hardships, but facing the proposition that career may end, no one can truly be free and easy.

Waving your sleeves and not taking away a cloud, that's because you can't take away that cloud at all, but Christian Letterner should have taken away the last colorful cloud, but now everything has become a bubble.

The room was quiet, and no one spoke except for the occasional sob.

No one can comfort, nor can they comfort them. Everyone understands that Christian Letterner may really be unable to escape the misfortune this time, and it is very likely that his career will end. Everyone does not know how to comfort this veteran. Even Michael Jordan, who is used to the storm and waves, was just staring at the white wall silently in a daze.

"Okay! Everyone is happy, all of them are so big, and they are crying one by one. The media saw it and they really thought that our team was full of children who had not grown up yet! Besides, I didn't really leave the stadium like this. The doctor said that I might not be able to recover to my previous state, but it was just possible. Maybe I could really recover as well as before!" Christian Letterner was the first to walk out of his sadness, and he began to comfort everyone in the room.

"Kaome! Take the lead in laughing, don't cry, you're almost 21 years old. By next spring, you can go to Las Vegas to gamble and still cry. Be careful that Sands Group will see you crying and will not pay you a bet!" Christian Letterner half-joking, trying to make me stop sobbing.

I nodded hard, trying to stop the useless crying, but when I looked up, I saw Christian Letterner's forced face, and my heart felt a sense of sorrow, and tears couldn't help but flow down again.

"Promise me! Christian, you must obey the doctor's words and do good treatment. We are waiting for you, waiting for you to stand on the court again, waiting for you to win the championship with us!" I finally held back my tears and said the first sentence I said after entering the ward!

Christian Letterner looked at me solemnly, the false smile on his face had disappeared, and he replied in a low voice: "I promise you that I will recover one day earlier and win that championship with you!"

Whether it is a lie or not is no longer important. What is important is that the promise in the ward is remembered in my heart!
