[British and American Entertainment] Sonnets to Olivia

~~~~~ Don't dig too deep into a hurt, lest it create a new one. ~~~~~ Waking up among the calls of a group of animals, Tom opened the window and breathed the hot and fresh air of Africa.

"A-Ka made us breakfast." Olivia yawned and stretched herself, feeling that she slept extremely comfortably.There is no need to worry about rainy days here, and there are no piles of materials and papers, and there is no pressure at all.

"It seems that A-Ka's culinary talent is also good." Tom knew that A-Ka made the roasted whole lamb last night, and the taste was simply irresistible.

Olivia thought he was praising herself, and she left the room with Tom after washing up.

The breakfast table was placed next to a tree, the shade of which just blocked the scorching sun.

"Salad." Seeing the two people coming out, Aka quickly brought up the prepared dishes, "South African specialty."

"Wow, is this a rainbow?" Tom looked down at the salad on the plate in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

I don't know what kind of plant this salad is made of. It looks crystal clear, light green, rose red, and the color is very beautiful.Served with cucumbers and some fruit, it looked appetizing.

"Ice leaf sunflower, I don't know why it is suddenly popular to eat this." Olivia recognized it at a glance, "Pandora planted some in the backyard, but my family didn't eat it."

"Well, it tastes good." Tom picked up the fork and started eating directly. He has always been interested in new things.

Olivia also took a sip. It was salty and refreshing after being chilled.

The two had eaten breakfast, but Aka had been surrounding them all the time, as if hesitating to speak.

"Akka, if you want a camera, I'll ask for a cheap second-hand camera for you." Tom laughed, thinking he wanted to change the camera again.

"No, Mr. Hiddleston." Aka sighed, then turned around and handed Olivia a piece of paper, "Ms. Strong, can you help me get this medicine?"

Olivia took it, and she looked down, it was a medicine for HIV.Although already a very common drug in other developed countries, it is relatively rare in Africa.And the price is expensive, which is not affordable by ordinary people.The most important thing is that the drug import control in this country is very strict, and local hospitals cannot see it.However, there are stocks in the United Nations' Hospitals Without Borders.

The incidence of hiv in developed countries has also been increasing in recent years, but because of the development of medical care, it is no longer fatal.But in Africa, the situation is very serious.The population of this land accounts for only 10% of the world, but there are 70% of the infected people.And with poverty and backwardness, the number of deaths is also very terrible.

Olivia didn't ask who A-Ka bought it for, she just nodded in agreement.

Because she won't be staying in Africa for long, Olivia went to the United Nations hospital that afternoon.Tom insisted on going with her, but she didn't stop him too much.

This hospital is not the children's hospital that Olivia took Tom to before, but a comprehensive hospital.The patients admitted here are mainly adults, and most of them suffer from infectious diseases, among which HIV accounts for the majority.There are also various forms of malaria, encephalitis, dengue fever, and even recently there have been cases of Ebola infection.

"Stay at the door, don't go in." Olivia got out of the car, but left Tom in the car.

"So I upgraded from not being able to touch anything to not being able to even touch the ground?" Tom shrugged, and opened the car door willfully, "You can't leave your child alone in the car in summer, you understand, O Li?"

"You're not a child." Olivia knew she couldn't persuade this guy, "I'm not scaring you, but you god is really useless here. If you get sick, it's not a trouble Just for fun. The medical condition is like this, your health is not as good as mine. "

"I promise not to touch anything." Tom raised his hand, lowered his eyebrows, and said obediently.

At this time, A-Ka consciously handed a set of sterilized clothes and masks to Tom and Olivia.

Olivia glanced at Tom, then asked Aka to stare at him, and went to find a familiar doctor first.When she first came to Africa, she would come to help when she was free, so she is quite familiar with this place.

Tom followed behind Olivia. When he passed by the ward, he took a look inside, but it was just this look that made him unable to move.

There are relatives in his family who have died of illness, and he has also been to the intensive care unit of the hospital, and he has also seen people who are about to die.But the scene here made him feel fear and helplessness. If the hospital is a place where the god of death is entrenched, then this may be a place where the god of death is unwilling to set foot.

Those suffering from various diseases were lying on hospital beds, and because of the lack of manpower, their blood and excrement were everywhere, and there was no time to clean them up.There are also some patients who are not assigned to beds, and just lie on the ground, sighing weakly.

Those painful sounds are gathered together, which is more frightening than any horror sound effects.

"Mr. Hiddleston, I think we should go out." A-Ka was used to such scenes, but he also understood Tom.Almost every newcomer will be intimidated, and Olivia is the most courageous among them.

Tom was led out by A-Ka, and he got into the car without saying a word.

After Olivia helped A-Ka get the medicine, she returned to the car, but seeing Tom's pale face, she knew he must be in a bad mood, "Let's go back, A-Ka."

A-Ka started the car, and he opened the window so that fresh air could circulate.

Tom took Olivia's hand, which was trembling slightly.Although it was not as shocking as the time when he learned of Olivia's real illness, his heart was also greatly shocked, "I think I should do something..."

"Oh, Tom, everyone wants to do something, but we can't change the reality. The political chaos here, low productivity, economic backwardness, can't be solved by throwing a charity dinner." Olivia was educated since she was a child" Survival of the fittest", so she is naturally receptive to different living situations around the globe.Either good or bad.

"But at least I can do something!" Tom bit his lip, he saw all this, and he had to do something.Even if it can only change a little bit, even if it can only save one person's life, he still wants to work hard.

"Of course you can, dear." Olivia pinched his face. She and Tom had very different ideas, but this did not prevent her from supporting Tom's actions, "Let Luke organize a charity How long will it take for the dinner to donate some money to the hospital?"

"This..." Tom's mind went blank, he didn't understand these things at all.Luke is also responsible for his usual affairs, he only needs to perform and smile.So he picked up the phone directly and called Luke.

"Tom, how about Africa, I'm dying of cold." The wind from Luke's side was louder than his voice, obviously he was outdoors now.

"Oh, Luke, you should be on vacation in Africa." Tom touched his forehead, which was covered with sweat.

"I can't come, Emma has a lot of activities recently." Luke finally arrived at the destination, he opened the door and walked in, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me, do you have any strange requests?"

"I always ask rationally!" Tom objected.

"Last time you asked me to find a master gardener to teach you the maintenance of succulents, the last time you asked me to find an expert on Kenyan lions, and the last time you asked me to contact some parasite expert..." Luke immediately counted.

"Okay, okay, I'm doing business this time." Tom stopped Luke quickly, and then told him what he was thinking.

Luke immediately agreed to Tom's request. Stars always do charity, which is very helpful to popularity.And this time Tom also took the initiative to find a charity organization of the United Nations, so he didn't need to make connections.In addition, he is now in Africa, so all the work can be done first.

Immediately began to contact people from all walks of life, and Luke directly planned.

Tom was also busy in Africa, and Luke asked him to meet with the people from the United Nations first, preferably with the photographer.He also asked him to start writing, and then posted the log on Twitter.

The photographer was readily available, and Aka went straight to it.Don't worry about the journal, Tom's writing is absolutely top-notch.

Olivia watched the two get busy, and she was happy to be free.

"Olly, come with me." Tom didn't let Olivia rest, he grabbed her hand and asked her to accompany him to another United Nations hospital without borders, "As my fiancee, I want to You appear in front of the camera together."

"Wait, then I have to do makeup and hair first!" After all, Olivia was still a woman, and she had to get serious when she thought about being on camera.

Monofilament This is Africa, only aunts will paint red mud on your hair, and no hairdresser will make hair masks and dye colors for you.

So Olivia could only tie up her hair and put on the simplest ponytail.

It's a good thing she wears cosmetics, otherwise she would really look good on camera.

But this is publicity for charity, and she only put on light makeup.But she has a good foundation and doesn't need too much dressing up.

"Very beautiful, Ms. Strong, let me take a group photo for you." Aka thinks that the two match so well, and they are both wearing white shirts and jeans now, so just take a couple photo .

Tom put Olivia in his arms straight away, and he hugged her from behind like she was an overactive lion cub.

Olivia wanted to move his hand, because it just happened to be a little uncomfortable to hold his chest.But this guy hugged him too tightly, and she was too embarrassed to let Aka hold the camera alone, so she had no choice but to compromise.
