[British and American Entertainment] Sonnets to Olivia

~~~~~ It's like an actor performing on stage for the first time, forgetting his role in a panic.And like an offended beast full of rage, its overpowering power makes it cowardly. ~~~~~ "I hope I won't vomit at the airport again when I go back this time." Tom's palms were slightly sweaty, and he lost the stimulating effect of alcohol. He felt that sentence was not so easy to ask.

"Maybe next time you come, you will have your own private jet." Olivia smiled. She had always believed that Tom would be popular.

"When do you think we'll meet next?" Tom asked insincerely, licking his lips as he worked his way through words and grammar.

"I will go back to school next month. I should have time to come to England during the summer vacation." Olivia didn't think as much as Tom at the moment, and she thought it would be easy for the two to meet.

"Okay, Ollie..." Tom suddenly felt his mind go blank, and everything he had just conceived disappeared, "You... have always regarded me as a friend, right?"

"Huh?" Olivia frowned slightly. She didn't particularly understand why Tom asked this question at this moment, but she nodded, "Of course, Tom, we are friends."

Although Olivia wanted to say that the relationship between them was not just friends, but now that there were people coming and going around, she felt a little embarrassed.If Tom had asked that night, she might have answered with a kiss.But now, in this extremely noisy group surrounded by chickens and ducks, and African aunts with horrible voices, she really couldn't speak out.

"Then good luck to you, Olivia." Tom stretched out his hand and hugged Olivia.But he hugged it very shallowly, and didn't stop at all.

Olivia wanted to kiss him on the cheek, but it didn't occur to Tom that he wasn't even thinking of leaning his face.She was a little disappointed, but thinking maybe Tom was frightened by the poor aviation conditions in Africa, so she could only let go, "Good luck to you too, Tom. When you have a work, remember to send it to I'll look first."

"I will." Tom nodded, he picked up his luggage, turned and walked into the waiting room.

Although it's called the waiting room, it's actually just another room in the airport hall, and it's not even completely closed, and the checked animals can walk around freely.

Olivia stood at the door and looked at it reluctantly, and she found that Tom seemed a little out of his mind.Without thinking too much, she slowly left the airport hall, drove the jeep, and returned to the place where she might be waiting for her in the future.

After Tom left, the rainy season in East Africa came soon, but it was not as annoying as the rainy days in Britain. This pristine continent showed more vitality and beauty.Countless animals began to migrate to this fertile prairie.

Olivia and the others got busy because of this. She didn't even have time to care about why Tom hadn't written to herself during this period of time, and almost never sent emails.

"Olly, a large number of wildebeests have passed through the west, we need to go there tonight to see the situation." Professor Pike has a very good relationship with all the students, and the relationship between the professor and the students is like a family member, and Humboldt Distinguished State University.At the beginning, Pandora also took a fancy to this point, so that Olivia was allowed to study a master's program at this university.If humans can't even be friendly to their own kind, why should they care for animals?

"Okay, I'll sit down and get ready." Olivia immediately returned to her tent. When she was packing her backpack, she suddenly saw some letters that Tom had given her before.

Only then did she realize that she and Tom hadn't been in touch for more than two months.

Maybe it's because RADA's courses are too tight, just like I don't have the time to make time to contact him now.

Olivia thought for a while, and sent Tom an email.The content is still very ordinary. I talked about the situation of the reserve, and said that I would try to go to England before the next school year, and it would be best to watch a play played by Tom.

The network condition here is very bad, and Olivia failed to send it several times.She decided to try again when she came back, and if it didn't work, she had to start writing letters again.

Putting back their backpacks, Olivia got into the jeep with Professor Parker and Grant, and prepared to record the situation of the wildebeest population this time.

The rain was pouring, and the rain in Africa was just as wild.Olivia could barely open her eyes, she turned her head and looked towards the grassland on the other side.

Under the dark clouds, there seemed to be another black cloud surging. Countless wildebeests, zebras, and various antelopes were running fast.They were stimulated by thunderstorms and completely interrupted their progress.

"Brandon, stop the car." Professor Pike found that the current situation was really not suitable for moving on, so he could only temporarily stay on the edge of the fauna to observe.

The thunderstorm came and went quickly, and it took only ten minutes for the sun to shine on the earth again.

When they moved on again, the road became muddy.Before reaching the ideal location, Grant had to stop again.It was not Professor Parker's order, but the car broke down.

Grant kicked the tires angrily, and his initial checks revealed that they could only walk.

Now the surroundings are full of migrating animals, and the three of them might be trampled into meat immediately if they walk among them.So they could only wait for rescue in the car. Fortunately, the communication was not broken, and people from the camp could come over.

Maybe it was because the thunderstorm just now frightened the animals, so now after the weather cleared, many animals stayed and started to eat.

Professor Parker noticed this, and he decided to observe around the car and record how much he could record.

The two young adults, Grant and Olivia, must bear the brunt. Olivia jumped out of the car with her backpack on her back, without falling behind Grant at all.

But just after the heavy rain, the condition of the ground was very bad.Olivia accidentally fell into a mud pit, which was half a person deep, and she sank all at once, making her body covered in mud.

"Hahaha, Ollie, why did you suddenly get into the dirt." Grant smiled while holding up the camera.

Olivia was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She crawled out of the pit and kicked Grant hard. "Why are you still single now? Now you know the reason!"

Only then did Grant realize that he had gone too far. He quickly apologized to her and promised to destroy this photo and this negative after the film was developed.The other negatives were taken by Professor Parker, so naturally he couldn't dispose of the whole volume.

Only then did Olivia give him a little good looks, and Grant also took the risk to go to the river to get some clean water, and helped her wash away the mud from her hair.

I thought it was just a small episode, but after returning to the camp at night, Olivia started to have a fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.

"Is it malaria?" Grant still hoped it was malaria, because he knew that Song Ye and the others always stocked artemisinin, which is a good medicine for treating malaria.

"No, it's not." Professor Pike shook his head. He has been in Africa for many years and has a good understanding of these infectious diseases. "It may be meningitis, but what causes it, I can't be sure."

Professor Pike is not a doctor after all, so they could only send Olivia to the hospital of the local aid team.The conditions of the Chinese hospitals are the best in the local area. If they can't help it, they can only send Olivia back to China.But whether she can survive until that moment, no one knows.

The doctor's diagnosis was meningitis plus dysentery, but Olivia's more symptoms made the doctors shake their heads.The conditions here are still very limited, and Olivia can only return home at the risk of danger.

Grant stood up and offered to be the flower protector, even he might be infected.

Professor Parker had no choice but to let Grant accompany Olivia back to the United States.

Olivia was almost in a coma along the way. She would utter incomprehensible ravings from time to time, and occasionally woke up and couldn't control her body, completely ataxia.

Once in Los Angeles, Olivia was quarantined.Grant notifies Anderson that he cannot find Pandora and Christine.

Anderson couldn't find it either, but he wasn't pessimistic. He thought his sister was strong and nothing could defeat her.But when he was called into the office by several doctors to sign the waiver required for first aid, he knew the critical situation.

"Your sister is infected with a parasite called amoeba. They live in natural water bodies and enter the human brain through the nasal cavity. Because it is the third day since she returned to the United States, her infection is now The central nervous system has been invaded. Fortunately, we can still remove the infected part through surgery. It’s just that this operation is very dangerous, and the number of cases is very small. There are only more than 100 cases in the United States. I can’t be sure what will happen after the operation.” The doctor explained the details of the operation to Anderson, and at the same time told him about the sequelae that would occur in the future or the consequences of the failure of the operation.

Anderson is also a biology student, and he can fully understand the medical terms.But he didn't listen to a word, because the doctor's words just repeated a meaning over and over again, the chance of Olivia's survival is very small.

But there was only one way in front of him at the moment, and he had to pick up the pen and sign those documents.
