Carter also said that he and Edward were not going to climb, but just planned to take a helicopter to enjoy the scenery there.

What Carter didn't expect was that the other party actually went up there.

"I've been up there before, did you know? I had to turn back after reaching an altitude of nearly eight thousand meters."

"How is it there?"

"Cold, mainly cold. The sky during the day is more black than blue. There is not enough air there to reflect the sunlight... But at night, you can see particularly brilliant stars.

It's so close that you can reach it, and it's so bright, it's like there are many small holes in the sky."

Carter suddenly asked: "Did you hear them?"

Angelica looked stunned: "What did you hear?"

"I read an account of a man who climbed to the top of a mountain. Standing alone on top of the world, he described this deep silence. All sounds disappeared. Only then did he hear it."

"What?"

"The sound of the mountains."

She was attracted by his words.

Carter continued: "He said it was like the voice of God."

Their eyes met. He lowered his head sheepishly and looked at his wine glass, shaking the ice cubes in the wine...

"Did you know that among the major cities in the world, Hong Kong Island has the fifth highest population density?"

Carter shook his head: "I don't know."

"It's true...you won't feel like you're in the loneliest place in the world."

He stopped shaking the wine glass in his hand and looked up at her...

Angelica added: "I've never done anything like this before. Oh my gosh, it's like a cliché to cover up, I have a room up there."

Carter was still just looking at her as she put her hand on his, a look of pure anticipation on her face...

Obviously Carter, an old man, was flirted with. Unfortunately, Carter was not Edward, so he refused.

Angelica didn't say anything about Carter's rejection, but said with some emotion: "She is a happy woman."

Carter hesitated: "I think I am a happy man."

Before leaving, Angelica blessed: "I wish you all the best."

She squeezed his hand generously, then got up and walked to the elevator!

In fact, Carter understood that there could be no such coincidence, but the appearance of this woman did make him feel homesick.

In other words, he missed his wife Virginia and his family.

Although he knew that all this should have been arranged by Edward.

But he didn't care.

Edward may have done this out of spite, but he may also have wanted to help Carter in this way.

Although he didn't say it, he actually envied Carter.

So, when they returned to Los Angeles, Carter also decided to help Edward do something, so he convinced Thomas on the plane.

They pretended that there was a car accident ahead and they couldn't pass, so they took a detour and came to Edward's daughter's door.

But Edward was very angry about this.

Edward broke out in front of Carter for the first time: "You don't fucking understand who I am. I created a billion-dollar industry from scratch. Those big shots came to consult me. I work with the fucking royal family and nobles.

After dinner. And you think that a trip like this means so much to me that it can change me. Carter, think about what that scene would be like, ah? I went up to knock on the door, and she came out to open the door. First

I was stunned for a moment, and then got angry, but I wanted to tell her how much I love her and how much I miss her. Oh, and also, I am going to die, so I can only come to you, my baby, because I am afraid of dying alone.

.”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Carter: "Everyone is afraid of dying alone."

Edward said to Carter fiercely: "I'm not just anyone!"

He took out the "Wish List" and tore it in half.

"This is just a joke."

He folded it, tore it again, and then tore it again!

"It was just a joke."

He walked away angrily, leaving Carter alone with his torn list of "unfinished wishes"!

Carter returned home by himself, and Virginia said nothing, just welcomed him back. He accompanied his family and sat at the dining table to prepare for Sunday dinner. Virginia was praying thanksgiving before the meal.

He stared at her for a while, then smiled, lowered his head, and prayed!

Edward also returned home, but unlike Carter, his home was very spacious, but very deserted. Edward felt very uncomfortable, even coffee and cans were against him!

Carter and Virginia were walking on the street with the shadows of the trees. After walking a few steps, Carter grabbed her hand and they walked arm in arm.

In fact, this is also an item on Carter's bucket list, and he is still doing the things on the list.

Edward was afraid of loneliness. Even though he insisted that he was not just anyone, he still called two beautiful girls, but he still couldn't feel any warmth and was still lonely.

He even leaned on the wine cabinet and sobbed lowly.

At night, Carter took his wife's hand and danced together, just like they did when they were young.

Carter looked at his wife and said, "I have to say, I'm sorry. A much wiser man than I once said, "Sometimes it takes a long detour to get back on the right path." I complained about you.

, but I shouldn’t blame you. I blame you because I feel that my life is not what I ideally should be. In fact, I have lived a very extraordinary life, and that is what you gave me.”

Virginia looked at her husband: "Carter, no one in the world is smarter than you."

Their eyes met and they started kissing.

Unfortunately, what was supposed to come came anyway. That night, Carter suffered a stroke.

Edward received a call from the hospital and learned about Carter's condition. He came to the hospital and the doctor told Edward that Carter's condition was very bad.

Carter lay back on the original hospital bed, the IV tube connected to his catheter, and Virginia sat beside the bed.
