Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 780 Not Goodbye
Quietly, quietly staring at that pale face, Levi finally regained his inner peace, and he was able to face everything in front of him calmly.

"…But, Annie, you are wrong."

"You are a wonderful being. You should not and will not be forgotten easily."

"It's been a pleasure meeting you, and I hope you don't mind me calling myself a friend, and I hope to show off to others in the future, 'Hey, do you know Anne Gallas? That's an amazing girl.'"

"Please allow me to be proud for a moment."

"But I won't stand still. I won't stay in sadness and refuse to move forward. Life will go on after all, and dreams are still waiting to be realized, right?"

"Hey, don't forget, we are still doing our best to defend the title."

He will continue to fight, he will continue to battle, he will continue to step onto the court to face setbacks and challenges and fight back with all his might time and time again.

Refuse to surrender, refuse to give up.

And, refuse to stop.

But this time, it's a little different. He will not only fight for himself, but also carry Anne's dream and fight side by side with Anne.

Levi took a deep breath, stood up, looked at Annie again, and was about to leave.

In a trance, a call came from outside the window——

"Levi."

"Levi!"

Levi hurriedly walked to the windowsill and pushed the window open. A biting cold wind blew in his face. He could hardly open his eyes and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

Taking a deep breath and opening his eyes with difficulty, Levi could see Anne in the small garden behind, wearing a red jersey with the number 23 on it, holding a football in her hand, with a bright smile on her face, and waving her arms at Levi.

"Levi, come down quickly, I want to see you run for a touchdown with my own eyes."

Levi was stunned.

The voice was stuck in my throat and I was in a trance. I didn't know how to respond.

"Haha."

Anne's cheerful laughter echoed in the air, and she waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.

"Then I'll go on stage first, you hurry up."

Without stopping, Anne turned around and ran with full energy.

Sprint, sprint again, running vigorously all the way, running faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Levi only had time to catch a trace of the tail, and subconsciously, he leaned his upper body out of the window.

"Annie!"

Unexpectedly, a strong wind blew in his face and pushed him back. All his thoughts and soul were stuffed back into his body, leaving him breathless.

Looking out the window at this time, there was no one there, only a hazy night. The boundless night seemed empty and lonely.

However, my heart was beating wildly and there was a roar above my eardrums.

My knees were trembling slightly and seemed a little weak.

Levi turned around and leaned against the windowsill, looking at Anne who was still silent. His heart slowly returned to his chest and mixed emotions spread on the tip of his tongue.

Finally, he realized, it was over, really.

then.

Levi returned to the bedside and looked at Anne carefully, trying to remember this face firmly with his eyes.

The blue blood vessels beneath that pale cheek seemed to be slowly draining away vitality from the depths of the soul, dissipating into the air bit by bit; but there was still a hint of stubbornness and tenacity between the brows, as if the face was laughing out loud, mocking the god of death standing before it.

"Don't worry, no one can stop me." "Remember? 'You'll never walk alone', there will always be someone fighting alongside me, and you will also witness this journey with me, right? So, I won't stop, ever."

then.

Bending down, Levi gently kissed Annie on the forehead.

"Good night, Anne-Gallas."

Not goodbye.

Because Levi knew that Anne would continue to fight alongside them.

Looking up, Levi could see Mahomes and Kelce standing at the door.

Mahomes turned his head and stared at the wall beside him awkwardly, only daring to secretly glance at the scene in the ward with the corner of his eyes.

Kelsey stood at the door with a complicated expression, her body visibly stiffened. She didn't dare to cross the line easily. After all, she still lacked a little courage.

Realizing that Levi was coming towards her, Kelsey raised her eyes and looked at Levi, took a deep breath, took a step forward, walked past Mahomes in front of her, strode straight into the room, and walked towards Annie.

Mahomes glanced at Kelce quickly, then looked away.

Levi walked over, patted Mahomes on the shoulder, lowered his voice, and whispered, "That's Annie. Same as before."

Mahomes looked at Levi hesitantly.

Levi gave Mahomes an encouraging look and then took a step forward.

At the door, Jeff was still facing the wall, lost in agony.

Although he was still hesitant and his words were still light and powerless, Levi had now found the strength and he looked over calmly.

"Jeff, this isn't your fault."

Jeff shuddered slightly, and his whole body froze. The muscles from his neck to his arms were completely tense. His face could not be seen, but it seemed as if one could still see his expression.

Levi took a deep look at Jenna, who looked stunned and out of her mind. In the end, he didn't say anything more, but just spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you."

Thank you Jenna for being willing to inform him despite her grief, and thank you Jenna for allowing an outsider like him to say goodbye to Anne, because he knew how difficult and painful this moment was for the Gallas couple.

Then, Levi took a step forward. He could no longer stay here. There was no oxygen and it was suffocating.

Jenna looked up confusedly, watching Levi walk away with his head held high, and held her breath:
She seemed to see Anne, wearing a red jersey with the number 23, her hair neatly tied into a high ponytail, running wildly in the hospital corridor, her silver bell-like laughter continuing to resound, turning to Levi and shouting, "He is here, he is there, he is everywhere, he is the Edgewalker, Levi Levi Levi."

Again and again.

The overflowing vitality surged in the singing. There was no more restraint, no more pain. Anne could finally run freely and happily in the sunshine.

Jenna was stunned for a moment, staring blankly into the corridor, and couldn't help but whispering, "Annie..."

With her vision blurred, Jenna looked at Levi's back. Time seemed to have stopped. She just watched the figure walking away quietly.

Jeff noticed the movement and turned around, "Jenna?"

Jenna subconsciously looked at Jeff, "Annie, Annie is there."

Jeff followed Jenna's gaze but saw nothing. His heart ached. He took a deep breath, sat down next to Jenna, and hugged her tightly in his arms, harder and harder, as if he had used up all his strength and energy.

Levi didn't stop. He hurriedly left the ward, almost fleeing, and walked towards the parking lot, ready to wait for Kelce and Mahomes in the car.

The night is fading.

The whole city seems quiet and peaceful, with cars coming and going, people talking, and the dim street lights supporting the night sky, showing the city's skyline.

Although some people's lives have been paused, forever frozen at tonight, forever frozen at the age of eleven, without even the chance to feel the ups and downs of adolescence, and ending early; but the lives of thousands and millions of people are still going on, working hard for their families and dreams, and living hard.

"…Who, who's there?"
