Chapter 1,480 We live, we die, the wheels of the car turn round and round.
Edward's last wish was quite surprising. Carter couldn't help but ask: "Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world"? Is there any way you can do this?"
Edward was silent for a moment, and then said with a cool look: "There are many ways!"
Carter continued reading: "Getting a tattoo? Is this your great ambition? Shit, I think much more deeply than you do."
Edward said calmly: "Of course the minds of freshmen are prone to far-reaching thoughts. But what did Dr. Hollins say? You only have a few months left, right?"
Carter was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe a year."
Edward glanced at him: "You said it yourself, forty-five years have passed by in a flash."
Edward jumped out of bed, grabbed the list from Carter's hand, and started pacing...
Edward seemed to have found something interesting. He looked a little excited and said: "This is what we can do, this is what we should do. Don't think about money. I have plenty of money."
The bucket list incident caused by Carter seemed to open another door for Edward Cole, and he suddenly became persistent.
Carter hesitated: "I don't know, I..."
Edward asked: "What don't you know?"
Carter seemed a little embarrassed, but also a little eager to try: "That's just a metaphor, you know, there is a scratch..."
Edward continued to persuade: "Boom, boom, boom. For example. Let me tell you honestly, life is not for others. Don't you regret that you have not been able to accomplish anything big in your life? Now is your chance."
Carter asked back: "Riding yourself?"
Edward didn't care, like a big liar: "While it's still too late, what do you think will happen now? I went back and listened to those people discussing underlying financing, subprime loans, etc., as if I cared about my useless money.
As for you, you go home and wait for your children and grandchildren to bid you farewell with tears, and let everyone gather around you to watch you die, but you have to comfort them in turn. To survive people's sadness and regret until your death, this is you
Do you want it? I don’t want this. And, in your heart, I believe you don’t want this either, Carter.”
Carter looked down at the key chain and turned it a few times with his fingers. There was a silence...
Obviously Edward's words touched him, and he really didn't want to do this, but he still hesitated.
Edward continued to encourage: "Now we are both in the same boat. Isn't that a good analogy? We now have a real opportunity."
Carter was still hesitant: "Opportunity. This is really a roundabout way."
Edward smiled, because he knew Carter was tempted, or in other words, at this time, Carter had no way not to be tempted: "We feel pretty good, don't we? Our energy is gradually recovering. We no longer have pain, just like the doctor said
, asymptomatic period. I think we can either lie here and hope that bullshit experiment will work miracles...or we can start taking action ourselves."
Carter's mind began to move...
Finally, he looked up at Edward and smiled...
Carter asked: "Skydiving, huh?"
At this moment, Virginia just opened the door and walked in!
Virginia complained: "What kind of hospital is this? I searched for a long time and couldn't find a doctor."
Carter looked at his wife and said, "Virginia, we need to talk."
Virginia looked at her husband with some distress: "What did they say?"
Edward gave Carter a look and then said: "Mrs. Chambers, I need to accompany you for a while while you two have a good talk."
Edward walked into the corridor. When he went out, the Carters were left behind.
Carter glanced at his wife and said, "The situation is not good."
Virginia began to panic. She began to blame herself, saying that she should have looked for other hospitals and other doctors if she had known better. She also took out her mobile phone and started dialing.
Carter grabbed the phone and hung up.
After a while of silence...
Carter then said: "I'm going to leave for a while."
Virginia was confused: "What did you say?"
Carter looked at his wife and said resolutely: "Edward and I will go out for a while."
Virginia asked, "Edward with you? Where?"
Carter shook his head: "I don't expect you to understand."
Virginia was a little crazy, angry, and a little desperate: "I don't understand, you are right. I can't understand, how can you give up like this. How can you give up like this?
Fight against disease.”
Carter tried to convince his wife: "Virginia..."
Virginia asked, "Why don't you go talk to the children? Listen to what they will say when they know you are abandoning them."
Carter was a little angry: "I abandoned them? I have been rolling a body of putty under the hood for forty-six years, just so that my children would have enough food and clothing! I did this... I think I
You have the right to take a little time for yourself.”
Virginia still couldn't understand: "What to do? Escape with a stranger..."
Carter shook his head: "He is not a stranger."
Virginia looked completely incomprehensible: "But I am your wife."
Carter looked at his wife with deep eyes: "I am your husband... I am still a father, I am still a grandfather, I am still a car mechanic..."
Virginia said angrily: "You are still such a fool that you think you can cure cancer by yourself."
Carter could only apologize: "I'm sorry."
She stared at him with wide eyes for a while, then slowly turned around and walked out.
He watched her walk out the door without speaking.
Because he knew that this was something she couldn't understand, but he did decide.
Virginia walked past Edward, and the two looked at each other.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Virginia said: "My husband is not just a commodity for sale."
Then she walked away quickly.
After a while, Carter also came to the corridor and stood next to Edward. The two of them watched Virginia go away without looking back.
Edward said leisurely: "She hates me, do you hate me too?"
Carter glanced at him: "Not yet."
Carter's voiceover: "That's how it started."
The two's bucket list, Carter's is: helping strangers out of kindness; witnessing miracles; driving a Mustang sports car; laughing until tears flow...
And Edward's bucket list is: skydiving, driving a sports car, getting a tattoo, seeing the pyramids, the Taj Mahal, going to China, kissing the most beautiful girl...
The first item on their bucket list was to "skydive!"
On the plane, Carter's fingers nervously fiddled with his key chain.
The camera zooms in, and Carter is wearing a skydiving helmet and looking out from the open rear cabin door to the Mojave Desert eight thousand feet below.
Carter began to gasp nervously.
Carter muttered to himself: "I'm usually afraid of flying, but this time I have to jump out of the plane. I'm really obsessed."
At this moment, the key chain accidentally slipped from my finger!
Carter couldn't help but cursed: "Made!"
The key chain slid forward and into the forward cabin, where Edward spoke to the driver with his back to Carter.
Carter reached out, but he was firmly fixed in his seat by the young and strong Kyle sitting behind him. From the camera, Carter looked like he was sitting in Kyle's arms.
Carter was fighting with the key chain, but he still didn't dare.
Carter was still timid: "I can't jump."
Edward encouraged: "No problem, you can do it."
Carter was so frightened that his face turned pale: "No, I really can't jump."
Edward said excitedly: "It's not this jump you're afraid of."
Carter: "Not really."
At this time, the coach opened the cabin door, and a strong wind immediately rushed into the cabin.
Edward faced the wind: "You are just worried that the parachute will not open. When you are buried, what people will see is a piece of Denver meat pie."
Carter seemed to have found a reason: "No, what I'm worried about is that the parachute won't open."
Kyle stood up and pushed Carter closer to the hatch. Carter looked at the abyss outside the hatch, and Edward didn't know what to do for a moment.
As Kyle jumped hard, Carter screamed, and the two disappeared outside the cabin door. Edward saw Carter waving his arms desperately and screaming as the two fell rapidly.
Edward complained: "This guy has a really loud voice. It's a matter of life and death. Just leave it to fate. You can't accomplish anything without taking some risks."
He turned to the coach and said, "Let's dance."
The two jumped out of the plane and fell freely in the air. The skydiving suits were fluttering, making everyone feel that everything seemed safe.
The camera shows Edward, who seems to be fully enjoying the most wonderful moments in his life...
But there was something different on Carter's side. His eyes were wide open in fear...
Edward falls into the frame, his coach and Kyle grab hands, and Carter and Edward are face to face again.
Edward looked at Carter in the air and asked: "How is it, ah? This is called life."
Carter looked up at Edward, his cheeks shaking in the strong wind.
Carter shouted with horror on his face: "I hate you so much."
Edward laughed loudly: "No, don't hate me, we are enjoying it. Come and experience it, man. Just let nature take its course and relax completely."
As he spoke, he looked down at the ground coming towards him at high speed.
Carter was a little flustered: "Which button should I pull?"
He and Kyle separated, putting a little distance between them...
Kyle shouted: "We're not at the landing zone yet. If we pull the umbrella at this time, it will be blown away by the wind."
Before Kyle could finish his words, Carter had already opened the rope buckle in a panic, and the two of them suddenly jumped out of the screen.
The camera switched to the other side, where Edward and his coach continued to fall, watching their partner's umbrella fluttering above them.
Coach: "Okay, open the umbrella."
Edward actually started singing: "I seem to be falling..."
Coach: "We've arrived at the designated landing area. Quickly pull the button."
Edward was still very self-conscious: "I think I have fallen in love."
The coach said nervously: "Hurry up and pull the button!"
Edward continued to emphasize: "I really loved it."
But he just closed his eyes tightly, opened his arms, and completely allowed himself to be at the mercy of fate.
Finally, the coach suddenly pulled the rope buckle, and the two jumped out of the screen.
When they reappeared, they had already come out of the skydiving school. Edward and Carter walked towards a limousine. As they walked, Edward took out the "Unfulfilled Wish" and used a red pen to write down "Skydiving" listed on the list.
"Tick one off.
Edward said to his assistant: "Tommy, people live to die one day."
Thomas shrugged: "Then I'm so lucky."
Edward's eyes were deep: "I'm not joking, Thomas. Remember my will, you are getting closer to this day."
Edward walked to the car, followed by Carter and Thomas.
Carter looked at Thomas: "Let me ask you, are you called Tommy or Thomas?"
Thomas said: "Actually, my name is Matthew. But he thought it was too much like a character in the Bible."
Edward shouted at this time: "We have to eat something?"
Carter couldn't help but said, "Is he sick?"
Thomas was convinced: "Maybe."
Because of her husband Carter's incident, Virginia has been haunted and remained silent when eating at home.
Finally, Carter called and asked her to answer the call, but she refused to answer Carter's call. Obviously, she was still bitter about Carter's "escape" and "giving up".
Carter told his son that he was going to leave for a while, and then he and Edward were going to complete another item on their bucket list: "Tattoo!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They came to the tattoo shop, and Carter was still a little repelled by tattoos. Through the conversation, they also learned that Virginia has been the only woman in Carter’s sixty years, which made her
Edward felt a little unbelievable.
He even encouraged Carter to have a carnival, but Carter refused, thinking it was disloyalty to the marriage. This time Edward failed to convince Carter.
Another item on the bucket list has been crossed off.
The next one is Carter's longing to drive a Mustang sports car. Edward, a wealthy dog who is not short of money, easily fulfills Carter's wish.
Sitting in the driver's seat of the Mustang, Carter was elated.
This time he was more enthusiastic and proactive than Edward, and the two drove a sports car together for a race. Unfortunately, the race was not perfect, because Edward's car broke down halfway through the drive.
But this last wish was also Carter's, so it was completed, although not perfect.
Carter, Edward and Thomas were sitting in this luxuriously furnished private plane. Carter was very curious about everything in the cabin, and the stewardess handed him a drink.
Carter finally couldn't help but ask: "How much money do you have?"
Edward: "Didn't anyone tell you that it's rude to ask someone how much money they have?"
Carter: "I've never known anyone with enough money to ask."
On the plane, Edward even had a high-altitude battle with the flight attendant, which made Carter very angry.
Carter and Edward talked about faith again. Carter had a firm faith, but Edward said: "I admire people with faith. But I can't let my mind accept this. We live, we die, cars
The wheel goes round and round.”
It would have been difficult for these two people to become friends, one following the rules and the other unscrupulous, but at this moment, because they were both about to face death, they became friends instead.
