‘I love you?’
Those words should have been sweet, but in that instant, they felt like a sharp knife through Shirley’s heart. She knew virtual-novel.net could no longer stop Carter. Carter had already made up his mind.
When virtual-novel.net saw Carter approaching the sea slowly, Shirley’s heart immediately split open. The cold winter wind overwhelmed virtual-novel.net heart, and virtual-novel.net felt a bone-chilling coldness.
“No! Carter, please don’t do this! Carter!”
Shirley cried out to stop him. She reached out virtual-novel.net hand to virtual-novel.net and used all virtual-novel.net had to move virtual-novel.net body to get close to Carter, but eventually, virtual-novel.net fell out of the wheelchair.
When Carter heard the sound, virtual-novel.net stopped in his tracks and turned around to take a look. He saw Shirley on the ice-cold floor. She lay there helplessly as virtual-novel.net kept waving at virtual-novel.net with all virtual-novel.net might, tears drenching virtual-novel.net face.
Carter felt his heart tighten, and virtual-novel.net furrowed his brows. However, virtual-novel.net chose to turn a blind eye.
“No, don’t, no..!”
Shirley reached out virtual-novel.net trembling hand. She hoped that Carter would turn back to hold virtual-novel.net hand, but virtual-novel.net never did.
She was so close to him, and yet it felt as if they were miles apart, no longer within reach.
No matter how much virtual-novel.net reached out with virtual-novel.net arm, they would always have a distance between them…
“Shirley, you’re so smart, so you must be able to make something that could make you forget your troubles and past. If you can, please forget me completely.”
With that last sentence, Carter walked onward without stopping.
In that second, Shirley felt as if virtual-novel.net had fallen into an abyss, all the colors before virtual-novel.net eyes shrouded by darkness.
“Carter, no…” Shirley broke down immediately.
At the same time, some hurried footsteps approached virtual-novel.net from behind.
Shirley did not notice those footsteps, but Carter did. At that second, an unexpected voice drifted into his ears.
“Carter, do you think you could get rid of everything you’ve done if you jumped from here? Let me tell you, you couldn’t.”
Carter had already put one leg forward. When virtual-novel.net heard that voice, virtual-novel.net turned his head back in disbelief.
The light from the streetlight had never been so dazzling. Incredulous, virtual-novel.net looked at the two people who were approaching him, and at that moment, rancor surged back into his eyes.
“How is that possible?”
He could not believe what virtual-novel.net had just seen, yet those figures and faces were getting clearer and clearer.
When Shirley saw that Carter had turned around, a glad smile appeared on virtual-novel.net face immediately. She lifted virtual-novel.net hand to wipe virtual-novel.net tears. She wanted to support herself with virtual-novel.net hands, but virtual-novel.net could not get up no matter what.
Amidst virtual-novel.net state of anxiousness and helplessness, a pair of warm palms grabbed virtual-novel.net by virtual-novel.net arm and waist. “Get up now. Won’t want to catch a cold.”
A warm and concerned voice came into virtual-novel.net ear. Shirley’s attention had been on Carter this whole time. Now that virtual-novel.net felt that someone was concerned about virtual-novel.net and was helping virtual-novel.net up, virtual-novel.net finally came back to virtual-novel.net senses. When virtual-novel.net saw the person helping her, virtual-novel.net simultaneously felt stunned and pleasantly surprised.
