Chapter 1009 Tang En and Sophia
Evan Daugherty really doesn't know what mood he should be in now.Do you want Wood's mother to remain in a coma, or to wake up smoothly.He told Wood to wait for his mother to wake up before talking about retirement. If Sophia wakes up, this matter will be put on the agenda. What should he do then?Do you agree with Wood's request to retire?Do not make jokes!He is only 32 years old, and he is a well-deserved core of Nottingham Forest. If he retires, what will we do!
There is another thing that makes him angry-the Arabs are suddenly full of negotiation progress.

What made him even angrier than this was that this matter was actually related to Wood!
George Wood suddenly asked for leave and left the team, and the prospects of the team were cast in a shadow, and these Arab pagans did not know where to get the news, saying that Wood might retire. If so, they need to reconsider Here's the bid for Nottingham Forest.

Allen • Adams is also very helpless about this, he thinks this is simply a trick of the Arabs.They are trying to find all excuses to lower the bid, and strive to buy Nottingham Forest at the cheapest price.Otherwise, how can a player be compared to a club?
If the Arabs use this excuse to lower the price, Evan Dalgety will not accept it.When I approached this Arab consortium at the beginning, I valued that they were rich and could afford a large price.I didn't expect that the more we talked about it, the less money we had...

How much Evan Daugherty now hopes that God, his old man, can come to save him.

There were far fewer reporters outside Wilford than usual, and everyone knew why—compared with here, the Royal College of Medicine of the University of Nottingham was obviously more worthy of attention.Even among the players training here, there are some absent-minded. They are on the training ground, but their minds fly to the hospital.George has not appeared in front of everyone for two days. No one knows what he is like. Gareth Bell, Aaron Mitchell and others who have a good relationship with him on weekdays also have some attention in training. Not focused anymore.

McAllister saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.He has reminded the players not to put their attention on things other than football, and preparing for the game with peace of mind is what they should do.But his words are useless, the players are still distracted.You must know that their next game is going to Anfield to challenge the mighty Liverpool. It is not an opponent that can be defeated casually, and Anfield is not a stadium that can be conquered by distraction.If the team's mind is not on the game, what will greet him as a head coach?
McAllister didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"After practice, I'm going to the hospital to see George and his mom," Bell said to Mitchell during a break between practices, and he looked at him.

Of course Mitchell knew what that meant, and he also said, "I'll go with you."

Bell laughed at his answer.But the smile only flashed across his face, and then changed his expression again.Bell looked around and signaled Mitchell to play with his waist. He leaned on the other's ear and said, "I heard a news that George may retire..."

"What!!" Mitchell exclaimed, he could hardly believe his ears.Seeing Bell gesturing to him, telling him to keep his voice down, he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Where did you hear that?"

"There are rumors coming out of the hospital. It is said that someone overheard the conversation between George and his agent... It's just a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not." Bell saw that Mitchell seemed to have no intention of continuing training. Leaving the training ground, he quickly offered comfort.

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

In fact, Bell only comforted Mitchell, but failed to comfort himself.In his heart, he has always been worried that George will retire.

Seeing Freddie Eastwood calling the players back to the training ground to continue training, Bell patted Mitchell on the shoulder, comforting him and comforting himself at the same time: "Don't think so much, finish the training We'll find out when we go to the hospital."

It was quiet in the ward, only the sound of the instruments working could be heard.George Wood waited in front of his mother's hospital bed, holding his mother's hand lightly and unwilling to let go.Vivienne was on the side recording various data that appeared on the instrument and compiled them into reports for the important reference of doctors in diagnosis and treatment.Agent Billy Wooks was outside trying to deal with the increasingly impatient media. Some media had guessed that Wood was about to retire. The crowd came to interview him. There are twice as many reporters as yesterday.If these reporters were allowed to pour in, the daily work of this hospital would not need to be carried out.

While recording the data on the instrument, Vivian peeked at Wood who was sitting in front of the hospital bed.She already knew the latest rumors from the newspaper that Wood was going to retire.Although she is not a hardcore fan, but as a Nottingham native, she still knows football.In the past when the Forest team was the most glorious, a grand parade could be seen in the city at the end of each season to celebrate the Forest team winning another championship trophy.Besides, the hospital where she works has a cooperative relationship with the English Football Association. How can it be passable if you don't know anything about football?
Is he really going to retire?

Vivian looked at Wood and thought.

Wood felt that someone was peeping at him, he raised his head, and happened to meet Vivienne's eyes.The frightened Vivienne quickly looked away, turned to the screen of the instrument again, and scribbled on the notebook with her pen hand, pretending to be recording data.How could she actually be in the mood for work?

Wood could feel that someone was peeping at her, and she could also feel that Wood didn't look away immediately.

It seemed like an hour had passed, but the minute hand of the clock on the wall had only moved one tick.Vivienne felt that Wood took his eyes back, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.When she relaxed, she felt strange.When she was looking at Wood outside the ward, she didn't feel nervous or panic at all. Why does she feel so stressed now being watched by him?It was as if he was a lion and he was just a helpless prey in front of the lion...

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

Wood raised his head again and looked at Vivienne. This time Vivienne did not hide, and she also looked directly at him.

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

Vivienne knew that she couldn't persuade this stubborn person. Judging from her experience of working here for 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.No one else would be able to persuade Wood to change his mind, even if it was just a small matter of rest.

Vivienne sighed softly, turned and walked towards the door of the ward.She and Wood had never met before, and the first meeting was only two days old, so she really had no position to think too much about Wood.

When she opened the door outside the ward, she saw two people walking towards her from the end of the corridor.One of them she knew was Mr. Billy Wooks, while the other person accompanied by him was a little unfamiliar, and she couldn't remember who it was at the moment.

"Mr. Fox." Vivienne stepped aside to open the door and greeted Wood's agent, whom she had become familiar with these days.

"Miss Miller, how is George's mother doing today?" Wu Kesi stopped and said to Vivian.

"I haven't woken up yet, but my vital signs are stabilizing." After Vivienne finished answering Wu Kesi's question, she glanced at the person next to him.Because she felt that this person looked familiar, but suddenly she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

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

This name is so thunderous, how could Vivian have never heard of it?Just four months ago, he had just led the England team to the world championship, and then announced his retirement and disappeared from people's sight.did not expect……

Vivienne hurriedly greeted the English football legend: "Hi, Mr. Tang En. I am Vivienne Miller, the nurse who is in charge of taking care of Ms. Sophia."

She extended her hand generously to Tang En, and Tang En also held her hand while staring closely at her eyes.It's not polite to stare like this, but Twain has always been like this. He is taking this opportunity to observe the other party.The eyes are the windows of the soul, and many things can be seen through the eyes.

When Tang En let go of his hand, he also looked away.

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

Of course, Wu Kesi didn't know what happened when the two of them looked at each other. He was introducing to Tang En: "Miss Miller is a very responsible nurse. With her taking care of Sophia, Wood and I are very relieved."

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

Vivian smiled back and said, "This is my job, Mr. Tang En, no thanks."

The three of them did not communicate any more. After thanking Vivienne, Tang En and Wu Kesi walked into the ward, while Vivienne closed the door and left.

But when she was leaving, she suddenly remembered that it was a recognized fact that Tang En and Wood had a good relationship. Maybe he could persuade Wood to change his mind?Mr. Wooks was here with him, apparently he had called Mr. Down.

※ ※ ※

When Tang En entered the inner ward, Wood could clearly hear someone coming in, but he didn't look back. Obviously, his thoughts were all on his mother.

Wu Kesi saw that Wood looked like he didn't care about anything except his mother, and planned to remind him that there was a guest.But it was interrupted by Tang En reaching out his hand.On the way here, Wu Kesi had already introduced Wood's recent state to him, but what he heard was deception, seeing is believing.From the first moment he saw Wood's back, Tang En felt that this time things were very difficult.

Tang En just stood behind Wood without saying a word, and so did Wu Kesi.Until Wood felt something was wrong, he remembered 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 couldn't believe his eyes, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Tang En, who also saw Wood's face, felt heartbroken for what he saw was such a haggard Wood.Sophia was all of Wood's pillars. Tang En didn't doubt it at all. What he saw just confirmed this fact once again.But it made him feel uncomfortable. His feelings for Wood are very complicated. It is not simply the relationship between the coach and the players, nor is it just the master-student relationship in which he was picked up from the street and cultivated into a talent.That complex emotion is hard to put into words.

"How many hours did you sleep in total these two days?" Tang En asked with his mouth open.

"I... less than five hours." Facing Tang En who suddenly appeared in front of him, Wood's brain still hadn't reacted, and he stuttered a little.

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

Wood's brain was finally normal, he shook his head and refused: "No, I want to stay with my mother."

"Don't be funny, George. When your mother wakes up, are you going to show her that face of yours? Unshaven, sunken eyes, disheveled hair, smelling like an air conditioner. The smell of walking, did you come straight from the training ground? You haven't showered yet? Are you going to pass out your mother again?"

Wu Kesi, who was watching the play from the sidelines, had to admit that Tang En was better than himself when it came to words alone, and the special relationship between him and Wood also allowed him to speak so unscrupulously without worrying about getting a strong reaction from Wood.I can't do it myself...

Tang En's words hit the nail on the head, only referring to Wood's most vulnerable place - his mother.He didn't dare not listen to everything that was said in the name of his mother.

Wood was still a little hesitant, but his attitude had relaxed a lot, and Tang En added another fire.

"What are you still doing? Take a shower, 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 still worry about you in the hospital bed? George. Do you know how many years your mother has been worrying about you?"

That last sentence touched Wood's heart.He is not ignorant of good and evil, of course he knows that his mother has always been worried about him. When he was a child, he was worried that he would be as weak and sick as himself, so he was reluctant to eat all the nutritious and delicious things to feed him.After growing up, she was worried that he would learn bad things like those bastards in the slums, take drugs, prostitutes, fight and do all kinds of crimes, and eventually be sent to prison, so she would rather become a prostitute to earn money to send him to school and let him receive education , 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 finally didn't have to worry about him because he was an adult, but he didn't expect his mother to start worrying about his life-long events again, worrying about himself. Can't find a girlfriend...

Wood stood up from the chair, "I'm going to take a shower."

This is a VIP ward. Inside is a room for patients to rest, outside there is a reception room, and there are beds for accompanying staff to sleep in. There are all facilities such as bathrooms for showers, satellite TV, telephones, and the Internet.Wood rushed into the bathroom outside, and soon there was the sound of rushing water inside.

"It seems that I was right to call you." Wu Kesi laughed.

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

He looked at the face on the hospital bed.

He still remembered the first time he saw this face.

At that time in Snington, everything he saw was gray, gray walls, gray roofs, gray sky, and gray expressions on everyone's faces, just like a black and white TV set.The first color that catches his eyes and heart is Sophia, she is the only light source in that small and dark room, and the only color in this dark and lightless world.

At that time, he lost his mind.

Now he is just as distracted.

The old colors are gradually fading, and the light that once illuminated the entire room is slowly dimming.She closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed. Her face was pale, and her face was 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 who was lying on the hospital bed, and recalled some things in a trance.Those things have passed for many years, and he thought they had been completely forgotten long ago, but he didn't expect them to rise from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

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

To protect her from Coreymore's frivolity, he confronted Coreymore, then first-team manager, in heavy rain.

And that ambiguous night, he and she waited absently in the center of the room for George Wood, who had not returned home, to come home...

In that past time, deep in my heart, was there ever a moment when I felt love for her?

When Tang En was distracted, he heard Wu Kesi behind him suddenly called out: "Ma'am!"

His mind returned to his original position in an instant, and after refocusing in front of his eyes, he saw Sophia staring at him with her eyes open.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tang En..."
Her voice was painfully weak.
