Milan Central Hospital

"
is here."

Arriving at the door of a hospital room, Zanetti tidied up the collar of his suit and pushed the door in.

Ye Chen dragged a football with the Inter logo in his hand, while Julia carried a flower basket.

These are prepared in advance for the wind and placed in the car.

"Hello, I'm Zanetti and I'm visiting you on behalf of Inter Milan."

Zanetti smiled and greeted the people in the ward.

In the bright ward, a thin bald boy lay on the bed.

Dressed in a blue and white gown, with sunken eye sockets and a tilted head to one side, he was listening intently to his mother, reading aloud a drawing book.

The child's mother looked to be in her thirties, with long millet hair tied behind her head, a few messy strands of hair hanging down, and although her face was dignified, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible, and she looked extremely tired.

Seeing Zanetti's group, she stood up, her eyes shining with joy, and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with them one by one, trying to greet them in a loud voice:

"Hello, I am Jamie's mother, my name is Karin, thank you, thank you so much!" My son woke up early in the morning, hoping you would come. "

Little Jamie, look who's coming," Karin looked at her son, her tone suddenly becoming gentle, "Inter Milan's big stars, they are all coming to play with you!"

Jamie's eyes widened, and after blinking, he grunted from the covers and jumped to the ground.

He didn't wear shoes, ran to Ye Chen's side, pulled the corner of his clothes, and said in a milky voice:

"Brother Ye Chen, I see you again!"

Ye Chen squatted down and touched the child's little bald head with a smile.

"Jamie, have we met before, why am I not impressed?"

"I've seen it, you've even given me a jersey!" The little boy nodded with a serious face.

Ye Chen was stunned, when did he send Jamie's jersey?

Karin smiled, also squatted down, lovingly touched the back of her son's head, and then said to

Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, Inter played Manchester City's Champions League quarter-knockout round away, and after the game, you gave my son a shirt at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester."

"Isn't that right, little Jamie?" Karin rubbed her son's small earlobe.

"That's right, that day, we went to Manchester, and I ate the tomato hot dog sold at the stadium!" Jamie grinned, revealing a row of teeth that were missing a front tooth.

Ye Chen gradually reacted.

In the opening match of the Champions League quarter-finals, Inter lost 1-0 away to Manchester City.

Because of Conte's stupid conservative tactics, Inter swallowed their first defeat of the season!

After the game, although everyone was very depressed, Ye Chen still insisted on leading the whole team to the away fan area to thank the fans of the expedition.

In British stadiums, the spectators are very close to the stadium, often the first row of stands, only three or four meters from the sideline.

Ye Chen gave his jersey to a little boy sitting in the front row, and the little boy was crying with excitement!

"So it's you, Jamie! But I remember that back then, you had hair, how come now..."

Jamie's appearance changed drastically, from a black and lush golden curly hair to a small bald head, causing Ye Chen not to recognize him for a while.

Julia pinched Ye Chen's back and signaled him not to say anything.

Jamie raised his head, pouted, and said with serious eyes:

"Mom said, I'm growing tall now, if I shave my hair, I can grow taller and stronger, so the doctors and sisters shaved my hair, but it doesn't matter, Mom said that my hair will grow again, and when I am taller than my mother, my hair can grow as much as before!"

Karin's body trembled violently.

This haggard woman slowly raised her head, wiped a handful of tears with the back of her hand, forced out a smile, and said a medical word to Ye Chen that Jamie couldn't understand.

"Because of chemotherapy."

Julia's eyes turned red too.

Holding back tears, she put the basket of flowers down Jamie's nightstand, picked up Jamie's two small shoes, and crouched down next to Jamie.

"Little Jamie, sister put your shoes on."

"My sister also brought you a flower basket, oh, put it at the end of your bed, you see, do you like it?"

Jamie glanced at the flower basket and clapped his hands happily:

"It's good-looking, grandpa used to like to plant flowers on the balcony, we have a lot of flower pots at home, he picked me up and asked me to water the flower pots with a cup!"

Karin saw her son smile, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, we used to live in Genoa, the south of Italy, the weather is good, people like to plant flowers on the balcony, we always say, life is as bright as vision, children grow up like flowers."

Ye Chen handed the football in his hand to little Jamie, "Jamie, since it is the second time to meet, it is an old friend, and now my brother gives you a football, take it!"

Jamie saw the football reflecting the Inter team logo, and just wanted to reach out to pick it up, but turned to look at his mother, "Mom, can I ask for this football?"

Zanetti shoved the football directly into Jamie's hand

, "Take Jamie, when you are discharged from the hospital, you will take this football and come to the Meazza Stadium to play, and the three of us will play with you!"

Jamie happily hugged the football and ran around the ward, cheering!

"I can go to the stadium, someone will play with me!"

Sanetti looked at the happy little Jamie and sighed secretly.

He remembered his son, who was also a little fan when Jamie was his age, carefree and happy all day.

Unfortunately, Jamie is already terminally ill and he will never have the opportunity to run and play on the pitch.

As soon as Jamie ran for a while, he began to gasp, and the football in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Mom, I'm so tired..."

Karin took Jamie's shoes off, carried her to the bed, and put the football on the end of his bed, "Lie down for a while, the doctor's sister said that you need to pay attention to rest, and when you are well, go play football, okay?"

Jamie nodded, leaned against the pillow, gave a sweet smile, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

An old professor in a white coat pushed the door in.

"Karin, regarding Jamie's condition, I organized a hospital-wide general consultation in the morning, please come to my office, I will talk to you in detail."

"Okay, but I still have guests here..." Karin looked at the doctor with some embarrassment.

Julia hurriedly said to her, "Go quickly, Karin, Jamie has me here to take care of."

Karin smiled sheepishly at her, "Then trouble you Julia."

Sanetti said softly to Ye Chen: "Go, let's go and hear about Jamie's situation together." "
