Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1209 Refusing to Stop
It didn't take long before Mahomes, Kelce, Fowler, Hill and others showed up at the hospital as team representatives, bringing special gifts from the team.

A co-signed jersey.

It was filled with signatures, even the front side was signed and the back side was not left out. Every player and main staff member of the team had signed.

The only one missing is Levi's.

And, most importantly, the jersey has a back code:
Number one hundred, Felix.

In the NFL, there is no number 100 on jerseys, the largest number is 99. Despite this, the Kansas City Chiefs still temporarily customized a jersey for Felix to send their blessings and support in this way.

Everything is just as they said, and millions of fans in Kansas City are also part of the team, standing on the field and fighting side by side with them.

Starting today, Felix officially becomes a member of the Kansas City Chiefs' sparring team.

Felix was very happy. He put the jersey over his hospital gown immediately, stroked the jersey over and over again, and smiled widely.

However, they did not stay for long.

Felix needed a break.

Felix was too weak now. After just twenty minutes or so, he could no longer open his eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't control his body.

Laughter was still surging in the ward, but they could all clearly feel that something was different after all.

After leaving the hospital, no one said a word. The corners of their mouths that had just turned up drooped heavily, and they felt as if a huge rock was pressing heavily on their chests.

At the door, Levi saw the Old Oak Tavern fans led by Anderson, Provos, and West. They were putting cards and flowers into a book, ready to give to Felix so that he could slowly read it in the ward.

Mahomes and the others came forward, but Levi noticed a young man hiding in the corner, who looked like he had just graduated from college.

If Levi remembered correctly, it seemed to be the fan who often appeared with Felix recently, but Levi couldn't remember his name.

After thinking about it, Levi walked towards him.

"Why, you are here alone, are you being excluded?"

Levi started by making a teasing remark.

Carter raised his head reflexively when he heard the voice and saw Levi at once.

If it were any other time, he would probably be so excited that he would jump three feet high and fly; but now, Carter couldn't get excited at all.

Carter rubbed his face in embarrassment and mumbled something incoherent.

"No."

"I just... don't dare to see him."

Ashamed, embarrassed, frustrated, he then lowered his head in annoyance.

There are so many emotions hidden behind this short sentence that are difficult to express clearly, but the complexity and helplessness in it firmly grasp the heart.

"I knew he had health problems, after all he was in a wheelchair, but he never showed any pain and seemed to be in the same boat with us."

"I thought that he was a winning fan like me. He cheered for the Kansas City Chiefs just because they kept winning and gave us hope and strength. But if the team started to lose one day, he would turn around and leave without any nostalgia."

"But apparently, I was wrong."

"He has been fighting all the time, just like the team, fighting with all his life. The focus has never been on winning, but on fighting, because there is no retreat and no victory or defeat in his life. Once he stops fighting..."

The words stopped, and the young face showed a trace of uneasiness and fear, even some shame, and his expression began to struggle. Carter had always been careless and had no dreams or goals. After graduation, he moved to Kansas City on impulse. He did not find a proper job, but only worked part-time.

Car repair. Waiter. Food delivery. Assembly line worker.

Anyway, he has tried almost all short-term and temporary jobs available in Kansas City. As long as he can earn enough to pay rent and basic living expenses, he will continue to have fun, squander his time and enjoy life to the fullest while he is young.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with that—

YOLO, you-only-live-once, life is only once, so you should enjoy it.

He doesn't care, he party hard and lives his life in a casual and uninhibited manner. Nothing can make him settle down or make him really care.

Even though he came to live in Kansas City and considered himself a victory fan, Carter never really took it seriously. He still believed that if the Kansas City Chiefs started losing one day, he would turn around and leave without hesitation or saying a word, and then support this year's Super Bowl champion team and become a fan of another team.

Anyway, he is still young and can move at any time. Leaving Kansas City for another city has never been a problem for him.

However, overnight, things suddenly changed.

The issues of birth, aging, sickness and death were laid out before Carter's eyes, making him realize that football and life were not that simple.

When he enjoyed life to the fullest and refused to add shackles to himself with dreams, goals and beliefs, he also missed the opportunity to explore the infinite possibilities of life. Those shadows hidden behind the splendor of life, just because you can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. They are always lurking in the darkness and giving you a fatal blow when you are caught off guard.

Carter was completely caught off guard and completely lost for a moment.

He didn't dare to imagine and couldn't imagine what the Kansas Chief meant to Felix, and what Felix was going through.

Beyond his cognition, a strange world slowly unfolded, but he didn't even have the courage to face it. Fear and panic gripped his heart, and a hint of pain appeared in his expression.

The words were confused and weak, and Carter was unable to organize his language effectively.

Carter rubbed his cheeks hard with his hands, he thought he was going to cry.

However, no.

My cheeks were clean, my eye sockets were terribly dry, fear and panic gripped my heart and it continued to fall, I didn't even have time to shed tears.

He hated himself for being this way. Stupid and selfish.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Levi could feel the powerlessness, anger and bitterness in him, rushing around like a headless fly.

One thing that all these years of football career have really taught Levi is that he is not alone.

Whether it was cross-country running in his previous life or mixed martial arts in this life, Levi was always used to facing difficulties alone, because it was his battle alone; but football was different. From NCAA to NFL, in less than four years, Levi began to learn to trust his teammates and began to learn to fight side by side.

This is their battle.

More important than anything else, they are still here, and they still... refuse to surrender.

Levi thought about it and smiled faintly.

"But you're still here, aren't you?"

Carter raised his head suddenly. A ray of golden sunlight shone down from behind the dark clouds. Levi's facial features were not clear. Only the upward arc of his mouth could be seen. He blurted out, "What?"

Levi, "You didn't run away, did you? When frustration arose."
