This is the first time that Edward, the usually arrogant rich man, shows his weak side.

In fact, he is not as fearless as he appears.

Next, there is another shot like before, Edward pushing his IV pole into the bathroom, Carter pushing his IV pole into the bathroom...

The nurse gave them medicine separately, but there seemed to be no difference.

The two of them would occasionally play cards together, but on this day, something was a little different.

Edward and Carter were each walking in the corridor pushing their own IV poles.

Edward suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought of committing suicide?"

Carter was a little surprised: "Suicide? God, I never thought about it."

Edward nodded and said, "I guess so, it's the first stage."

Carter was a little confused: "What?"

"There are five stages to this," Edward explained.

Carter suddenly said: "Oh, denial, anger, concession, depression, recognition."

Edward nodded: "Of course you won't think of suicide, because you are now in the first stage - denial."

Carter asked curiously: "What stage are you in?"

Edward said: "I deny it too."

Carter looked at him and said, "But I've thought about suicide."

The two still received the same treatment, and sometimes had to draw blood. Finally, the nurse took off Carter's infusion pole, leaving Carter a little confused.

But the nurse told him: "You don't need these anymore, this is the fourth course of treatment, which is the last course of treatment."

After this course of treatment, you will know his results.

Carter continued to watch the prize competition, but this time he put on headphones. Carter listened to the sound, looked at the questions, and then answered them himself. Most of them were correct, which made Edward very curious: "You didn't miss a single question.

?”

"No way, I made a mistake last week!"

"Do you want to go and participate in the quizzes on the spot?"

"Ah, that's other people's business."

Edward looked at him for a while and fell silent.

The scene changes. This time, Edward is watching TV. He is watching a baseball game, while Carter is writing something on a piece of lined paper with an open book on his back.

The camera focused on the words he wrote.

On it is written: Unfulfilled wish

1. Experience something truly magnificent.

2. Help a stranger purely for the sake of doing good.

...

The doctor came and announced Edward's final days. He had six months left, maybe a year if he was lucky.

Carter also wanted to know how he was doing, but Edward's doctor was not Carter's attending physician.

Edward reacted by staring at the television and asked the doctor to get Carter's medical records.

He slowly looked away from the TV screen: the news that his life was about to end made him think deeply.

Carter struggled to find the right words...

Carter: "Edward..."

Edward ignored it and was silent for a while...

Carter's voiceover sounded: "Someone conducted a survey and asked a thousand respondents whether they would be willing to know the exact date of their death if they could know it in advance.

Dr. Hollins walked in and started talking to Carter while reading the medical records and pill bottles...

Carter's voiceover continued: "Ninety-six percent of the people said they didn't want to."

Carter listened impassively...

Carter's voiceover continued: "I have always been probably among the other four percent. I think it would be a relief to know how much time you have left to do what you want to do."

He crumpled the paper he was writing on...

"But that's not what happened when it came to it."

He looked up at Edward, who was also turning his head to look at him...

The two looked at each other for a long time. At the moment when their fate was pronounced, they both showed almost the same calmness and suppressed the sadness that was difficult to express.

In the face of death, no matter whether you are rich or poor, whether you are alone or with a large family, you are all equal.

Carter's bucket list was picked up by Edward.

Edward carefully unfolded the ball of paper, and it turned out to be a list of "unfulfilled wishes" written by Carter. Edward looked at the things to be implemented one by one, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Suddenly Carter's voice came: "What are you doing?"

Edward: "What is this?"

Carter: "Give it back to me."

Edward asked repeatedly: "What is this?"

Carter: "Give it back to me."

Edward joked: "I picked it up from the ground, and I didn't know it was a state secret."

Carter sighed: "My freshman year college philosophy professor prescribed a future-imagining exercise where we listed the things we dreamed of doing in our lives until..."

Edward: "Until you die, right?"

Carter said: "What I was thinking at that time was: "Earn a million dollars" and "Be the first black president." These are some of the wild thoughts of young people. Later, I always thought that I should make a new list, but...

....”

At this time, Edward spread out the paper and started reading: "To help a person who is not a relative or a friend purely for the sake of doing good."

He couldn't help laughing until he shed tears: "I'm not picky, you are so uninteresting."

Carter: "Yeah, it all means nothing now."

Edward rolled his eyes: "I don't think so."

Then he picked up a red pen and started writing his wish next to Carter's.

Carter got up from the bed and asked, "What are you doing?"

Edward raised his head: "I'll make a few small modifications for you, that's all. I said, don't you want to go out and play ball? Play with guns? Have some fun?"

Carter shook his head: "I don't want to play with guns. What I want is-what you missed..."

Edward asked: "What is a 'truly magnificent thing'?"

Carter looked at him: "Have you been to the Himalayas?"

Edward thought to himself: "It wouldn't be a bad idea to get a Ford Cobra. Or how about skydiving? This time we are a little enlightened."

As he spoke, he continued to write.

Carter was curious: "Are you enlightened? Let me see that."

Carter snatched the piece of paper from Edward's hand and looked at the words Edward scribbled next to his neatly written wishes with a grimace on his face.
