Hi it’s me, the old time traveler Ekko. After my first time jumping, I get back a fraction of my lost memory that a girl with long hair looks very young, but I can’t remember who she is and seems like she is talking to me. I have to know what did she tell me, so this time will be my second time to travel.
I’m not so nervous this time, I got some experiences last time. I choose one of the broken memory which rushed into my head in the car accident randomly and then, I start to have the same felling like the last time. Everything are in darkness but a tiny spark light come to me again then, the light is going bigger and bigger. When I open my eyes, what I see are the crowded people with the mask on their face, cough, cry, grumble all around me. “Lin!! Why you always standing there like a dumb, go to help the other nurse, we will have a big problem to solve tonight.” The head nurse shout to me. “I’m sorry, I’m going to help right now.” I answered. Looks like I travel into a girl’s body this time and I’m in the hospital. I reach into my pocket and find a train ticket. It’s a one way train ticket and my name is on it. “This ticket must from this body” I whispered. I never has a experience like this and I’m kind of helpless.
I go through the people and try to find other nurse to ask what I can help and what’s going on. During my hesitation, a nurse take my hand and talk to me “Lin!! Oh my god where are you going? We are short of hands.” The nurse seems like work with me, so I ask her “What’s the situation like now?” “Thing is going to be bad, more and more patients come to our hospital and we are almost full now, but they don’t stop. Our new PCR testing kit is limited, but we have hundreds people here, most of them are still in the lines to wait for the test. God damn this 2019-nCoV, It’s still the Spring Festival looks like I can’t go home this year…” After she finished we all lost in thought. It’s quite clear that I’m in a harsh times now, The 2019-nCoV which is a new coronavirus first detect in Wuhan, China. The virus crush with the Spring Festival, which is hard to control because everyone want to come back home and enjoy the festival with their family. With the big passenger flow volume, the virus spread faster and easier. ” We should help, as a nurse we have to help every patient and help them recover themselves, they need us.” My body start to talking again without my control, it must be the thought from this body. “OK Lin let’s go to help the doctor to test and handle the crowds.” She said.
After a long time, I don’t know how many hours we work but people just keep coming. I feel so tired but I can’t stop working, the intention of this body keep me going. “Lin, take some rest, head nurse find some one to change shifts with us. Finally I can drink some water…My waist is hurt.” “OK, I’m tired too.” I answer that. We go back to our rest room and I turn on my phone. There are 10 missed calls from MOM, I call her. “Hi mom what’s going on?” I asked, “Are you still working? How is everything going? I saw the news that the situation in Wuhan is not good honey, don’t forget your tomorrow train.” She can’t stop asking me those questions. “Mom I’m fine I’m OK, I know the situation is not good but I still have to finish my job. I don’t know if I can take the tomorrow train but I will call you later mom.” I answered. “Why Lin? Me and your dad we all worry about you. Let other guy working, they have so many doctors and nurses. Just come back we only have one daughter and we don’t want something bad happen on you.” I can hear that my mom is angary and worry about me. At that moment, my body start to talk but not my thoughts. “I’m sorry mom but this is my job, I can’t let those patient without help and suffering from the virus. I really want to go back to home but I can’t. As a nurse, I have to adhere my duty and never give up I don’t want to leave here like a “hiatus”. By the way, I contact with so many patients maybe I was already infected, I don’t want to put your life on the risk and infect you and my dad.” After I finish my call, I can hear that she is crying. “Mom, are you ok?” I asked, “Yes, Yes….Honey just be safe ok? Promise me that you will take care of yourself.” I can hear how she worry about me ” I promise mom, I have to go, happy Spring Festival and help me to persuade dad to smoke less.” I finish my talk and hang up the call. I take out my ticket and take a deep breath, then I put it back into my pocket. I walk out the lounge with a smile on my face at that time, my second time travel finished. We should follow our professional ethic just like Lin, stick to her post and never running away no matter what happens.
