Godfather Of Champions

Although the media used the word "critically ill" many times when reporting on Wood's mother's condition, it was just that the tabloids were not rigorous. The hospital never gave Wood a critical illness notice from his mother, except this time.

When Wood rushed to the hospital, his mother had been pushed into the emergency room. He only saw Dunn, Wooks and nurse Miss Vivienne Miller waiting outside.

"How is my mother?" When Wood saw two people, the first thing Wood said was to ask his mother.

Wookes just shook his head and said nothing. Vivienne stood beside her head down, silent. It was as if Sophia's critical illness was the responsibility of her nurse.

Neither of them spoke, only Dun En was the one to answer his questions. Dunn's voice is low: "The situation is not so good, George. You have to be mentally prepared..."

The performance of the three of them all conveyed an accurate message to Wood that his mother might really leave him this time.

He suddenly had no idea for a while, not knowing what he should do or say. Just standing still, breathing heavily.

This kind of performance made Dunn, who had been watching Wood's violent, a little surprised. He originally thought Wood would yell angrily after hearing what he said, saying something nonsense like "I don't believe" "You must be lying to me".

In his opinion, this is the performance of a normal person. But Wood's performance was more aggressive and had to be guarded against.

But now Wood didn't say a word, standing still in a daze, making him even more worried. He was worried that Wood could not stand the stimulus, and he was in a daze. As a head coach who is good at psychological adjustment, he knows that psychological problems are the most troublesome.

Wookes was going to deal with the reporters who heard the news. Vivian still had a job. Soon there was only Dunn who had nothing to do outside the emergency room. He looked at him and stood still. Wood, who turned a blind eye to his personal departure, sighed.

He wanted to go up to comfort Wood, but he didn't know what to say. He knew in his heart that even if Sophia survived this time, it would not last long. From the first time he saw her, this and that weak woman gave him a feeling that he could leave Wood aside at any time. She has been able to persist so far that it has greatly exceeded the expectations of the doctors at the time. It is hard to imagine what kind of belief is in her heart that supports her.

At the beginning, he personally experienced Gavin's departure, but now it seems that he will experience the departure of those around him again. Although he knows that "the moon is cloudy and clear, and people have sorrows and joys, this matter is hard to come by", but it is not so easy to accept when it falls on him. He is still very worried about what will happen to Wood. For Sophia, Wood is all her pillars, and for Wood, so is his mother's position in his mind. Sophia can't lose Wood, and Wood can't lose Sophia. Wood has been dependent on her mother since she was born, and they have long been part of each other's lives. Now they are about to face the greatest pain in the world-life and death, and Wood can bear. Can you withstand this blow?

If the loss of his mother is placed on others, Dun En might not worry at all, but Wood is in a special situation. Oedipus, he will never grow up like a child. For him, losing his mother is more than just losing a loved one.

Perhaps it was because of standing too long, Wood finally felt tired. He found a chair and sat down, but kept his eyes on the closed door of the emergency room.

Not long afterward, Evan Daugherty also came to the hospital to visit Wood and his mother. But Dunn could tell from the side that Daggerty was on his mind, and that was definitely not on Wood. Wood was absent-minded, and Evan was absent-minded.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they talked absently, and ended the conversation. Wood was still sitting in his chair staring at the door of the emergency room, but Evan Daggerty didn't mean to be in a hurry to leave. He stood in the corridor and looked around, passing his gaze over Dunn many times. , I stopped talking when I passed by several times.

When he cast his gaze on Wood, he found that the other party was still staring at the door of the emergency room and didn't care about him. He walked towards Dunn on the other side.

"Can we say a few words alone, Tony?" Evan stood in front of Dunn and invited him to talk.

Dunn sat on the chair and looked up at Evan Daggerty who was standing in front of him. This time he was still coming alone, and Alan Adams was not by his side.

Dunn couldn't find the reason for rejection, so he nodded.

The two left Wood one after the other, went downstairs, entered the backyard of the hospital, and strolled along the lake.

"To be honest, I was surprised to see you on the big screen during the opener, Tony." Evan Daugherty started talking.

"I am a fan of the Forest team." This sentence is the truth. After coaching the Forest for eleven years, Dunn can no longer like other teams, especially the Premier League teams. Those are the enemies he has criticized in the process of coaching...

"Have you watched the recent forest team game?" The topic naturally shifted to the recent forest team game.

"Of course." Dunn was wary.

"What do you think, Tony? From the perspective of a professional coach..."

"I am no longer a coach, Evan." Dunn declined.

Evan didn't expect Dunn to interrupt him. It seemed that he didn't need to look at his face after he didn't work under him... But then again, when did Tony look at other people's faces and do things? He was silent for a while, unable to find a way to continue the topic.

The two walked silently for a distance, and Dunn cast his gaze to the outside of the lake. There was a small island in the center of the lake, which was hidden by green trees, but there was no bridge to go through. He looked around and did not find a boat. He is trying to get his attention distracted, otherwise he will feel very embarrassed...

Evan Daugherty was silent but focused. He stared at the road ahead, as if making up his mind.

"Uh, let's be honest, Tony. I came to you this time, hoping that you can... come out to coach Nottingham Forest again."

The bad premonition was hit!

No matter how much Dunn distracted himself, he couldn't turn a deaf ear to such a proposal.

He stopped, took his gaze back from the small island in the middle of the lake, and turned to Evan Daggerty beside him.

"I'm no longer a coach, Evan." Dunn repeated what he said before, hoping that Evan Daugherty could get out of the way. But he obviously underestimated Evan's determination to come this time.

"I know you are retired, but you are only fifty years old, Tony...you are still young as a coach. Now the Forest team needs you, the Woods need you... I need you too!"

Dunn grinned. For many years, this person was able to say such things to him, which is a real improvement. He mustn't feel that he needs himself before.

Evan seemed to be able to see the sarcasm in Dunn's smile, but he didn't take it seriously, or he was not qualified to care about it with Dunn. Now he came to beg Dun En to come back, not Dun En begging him to give himself a job.

"I know you are dissatisfied with me, Tony. I have to admit that I was... well, I didn't do well..."

Dunn did not speak, but quietly watched Evan confess his mistakes here. What he thought of was that night more than four years ago, in a hotel room in Madrid, he had just led the team to win the club's first triple crown, but broke with the club's top management. All honors have become the past.

How ironic is this love and this scene, the other love and the other scene...

If Evan Daugherty had the insight and attitude that it is today, I am afraid that this scene will never happen again, right?

After all, Dunn was still reluctant to build the red forest with his own hands.

"...Look, I have learned enough now." Evan spread his hands.

"Really, Evan?" Dunn asked back. He squinted at each other and didn't believe what Evan Daugherty said. "For you, the team's poor performance makes you unable to stand up in front of the Arab consortium, which is the real reason, right?"

Evan opened his mouth, speechless, because Dunn was right.

Until now, he still hopes that the Arab consortium can offer a price that satisfies him and purchase the Forest Team, so that he will be completely relieved. As for the future of the Forest team, whether the performance is good or bad, whether Wood is going to retire, what does it have to do with him?

"Evan, I repeat, I don't care how you treated me before, but now I am retired."

After saying this, Dunn turned and walked towards the inpatient building, unilaterally ending the conversation with Evan Daugherty.

Evan Daugherty didn't say anything to stay, but looked at Dun En's back and frowned.

When Dunn walked back, Sophia had been pushed back from the emergency room to the ward. He saw Wood just coming out of the ward, while Vivian was serving by the bed.

Dunn carefully observed Wood's expression and found that it did not change for the better, but it did not change either. This made him unable to guess Sophia's current situation.

Without him guessing, Wood said to him after seeing Dunn: "Mom wants to see you."

After speaking, he went to rest on the sofa to one side.

Dunn glanced at Wood and walked into the ward. First greeted Miss Vivienne who had become more and more familiar, and then sat down by Sophia's bed.

In the past ten days, Sophia has changed again. It is different from the way Dunn saw her after returning to Nottingham. She is thinner and thinner. It is not bad to describe it as "skinny". The original beautiful face was afflicted by illness, with sunken cheeks, bulging cheekbones, and deep sunken eye sockets. The original black hair has become less and less due to long-term treatment. As for the body under the quilt, it has long looked like a skeleton.

This scene really made Dunn feel sore. A beautiful woman turned into this appearance, and he couldn't bear to look any more, so he had to look elsewhere.

Sophia seemed to have the same thoughts, and didn't want Dun En to see her now. She didn't take Dunn's hand and said a lot.

After seeing Dunn sitting down, she just said, "Mr. Dunn, I know you have always cared about George. The thirty-two-year-old is still like a child who doesn’t understand anything, so you rushed back from Los Angeles. ..."

A bad premonition appeared in Dun En's heart again...

"...Please continue to take care of him in the future."

Dunn's heart jumped, and he quickly pressed Sophia's skinny hand: "George has you as a mother."

Sophia stopped talking, just closed her eyes. Upon seeing this, Dunn knew that she was going to rest, so he had to get up and leave.

Walking out of the ward, Dunn saw Wood still sitting on the sofa and raised his head when he heard him come out. The two looked at each other. Dunn had a ghost in his heart and turned his attention away.

He thought to himself, he didn't know what Sophia had said to her son. If it were the same as herself, what would George think?

Can he accept the future that is increasingly likely to become real?

When Dunn walked out of the hospital, he received a call from Pierce Bruce. During the phone call, the reporter who hadn't been in contact for a long time asked eagerly: "Tony, I heard that you might go back to coach the Forest Team?"

"Who did you hear?" Dunn asked back.

"The news is circulating everywhere. I have met several forest fans these days, and they all told me mysteriously that you are coming back to save the team! Is this true, Tony..."

Dunn was not in the mood to discuss the authenticity of the rumors with him at this time. He interrupted Bruce's endless chatter: "I'm sorry, Bruce. I'm not in the mood to accept your interview now."

"This is not an interview, Tony. I just came to you as an ordinary fan to verify this matter..."

"That's just a rumor, Mr. Reporter." When Dunn called Bruce that way, it showed that he was not in a good mood.

Sure enough, Dun En hung up the phone after saying this, he didn't want to say more. He doesn't even have the mood to speak now.

Today he did not leave by the side door, but walked through the front door. Before coming to the front, he heard the noisy voice, and countless reporters were trying to verify whether the news that Wood's mother was critically ill was true. Wooks was gone. The security guards and the police at the door saw Dun En's figure appearing in their field of vision, and they knew it was not good.

Sure enough, after seeing Dun En, the reporters around them felt like they had been beaten up. They squeezed forward. Long and short guns were aimed at him. Numerous problems were hit on him, hoping to dig something out of his mouth. Value news.

Of course there are people who don’t care how Wood and his mother are doing. They shouted: "Tony! Hey, Tony! Are you really going to come back?!"

"Mr. Dunn, it is rumored that you will coach Nottingham Forest again. Is this true!?"

Dunn didn't seem to see such a large group of people in front of him, nor did he hear them asking himself questions. He stopped at the gate, took his sunglasses out of his jacket pocket and put on them, then bought and stepped down the steps, lowering his head and squeezing out under the guards of the police and security guards.

All those noisy voices were left behind by him. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
