693 desperately waiting

Karen didn't know how to accurately describe her mood—

Joy, hope, annoyance, irritation, worry, helplessness, a tangle of contradictory and complex emotions intertwined, words failed to clearly express them.

The Kansas City Chiefs had won, and they had secured a playoff spot ahead of time, which was a cause for celebration; the resilient spirit of the Kansas City Chiefs brought hope and belief to Felix, enabling him to continue fighting his disease, which was indeed a good thing.

However, Karen was worried about Felix's health.

Round after round of chemotherapy, while trying to kill cancer cells, was also destroying his body's structure, and Felix's immunity had greatly decreased.

In such weather, being at Arrowhead Stadium to support the team for over four hours was already exhausting; and after the game, to still be outside in the cold wind for two hours, the bone-chilling cold was more than Karen could withstand, let alone Felix, whose body had already collapsed.
