Chapter 474: Chapter 312: Double the Pain, Double the Happiness_4
Harrison Clark: “But…”
Carrie Thomas: “There are no huts. The achievements I didn’t earn are not mine. This time, I will finish ‘Morning Wind’ faster and make the song better. What, do you think I can’t?”
This conversation between the two was not recorded in history and even Harrison Clark does not remember it today; it could be considered a interesting anecdote lost in history.
Present-day Harrison Clark, while reviewing history and combining the final manifestations with his understanding of their personalities, subconsciously filled in and simulated their discussion as if he was one of the participants.
It probably went something like that; there wouldn’t be a big difference.
Carrie Thomas did just as she said.
In 2041, the year she turned 42, she once again completed ‘Morning Wind’, nineteen years ahead of last time; it took a “mere” twenty-one years in total.
This time she did not pursue spiritual liberation, because from the beginning, she had never been trapped.
The course of history not only became jumbled up in time here but also became drastically different in major events.
The two did not have a grand century wedding, they just quietly went to the register and added their names to the same household register, changing their marital status from single to married.
No tear-jerking scenes, no envious crowds—everything was simple and ordinary.
Historical records show that the six members of the Salvation Band gathered at Homey Rose again that day, drinking and singing heartily.
No one knows what these people discussed at Homey Rose that day. The next day, everyone returned to their own positions, carrying on with their different tasks as if nothing had changed.
People at the time did not know what had happened.
It was only many years later, after the death of Master Harrison Clark, that someone in a small county in Boston dug out a yellowed paper record, revealing that these two were wed.
Some archaeologists wanted to find their household register and marriage certificate, but they ultimately found nothing. In the end, they discovered that Master Harrison Clark had taken everything into outer space.
Now, as Harrison Clark looks back at this part of history, an unconscious smile hangs on his face.
He thought quietly to himself, this time I surely didn’t cry, I must have felt much lighter, right?
By shedding lies, one can surely find peace.
But it’s hard to say.
Because he had returned to Carrie Thomas a real life, but he also owed her a dream wedding of every woman’s desire but could not deliver.
Why did he owe her this wedding?
It was related to Avril Green, the owner of Homey Rose, who was still notorious for her one-sided love at the time.
If the two were to have a wedding ceremony, how could Avril handle it?
So it really is difficult to say who owed whom.
All one can say is they became friends in arms, and in the process of moving forward together they often sacrificed a bit for each other, compromising and accommodating so they could pass the baton like in a relay race.
This time, at the still humorously-styled funeral of O’Fatty, Carrie Thomas, Avril Green, Julia Lambert, and Rainer all shed tears.
This did not happen before.
Harrison Clark suffered the worst as he attended the funerals of his friends five times.
This paragraph was written in Carrie Thomas’ biography.
In 2121,122-year-old Carrie Thomas said to Harrison Clark before her death: “I paid so much attention to my health because I wanted to live longer, but I still lost to you. I’m sorry I made you attend my funeral again.”
The ever-vibrant Harrison Clark held her in silence.
“Actually, this should set you free so that you can do what you want earlier. When I think about it, you really are lucky. We’re together in this life, and we will still be together in the next. You’ve attended more funerals than most people, but you’re also happier. When you return next time, you have to tell me our story more clearly. I want to experience that happiness too.”
With these words, Carrie Thomas, the unparalleled musical legend who had created a pivotal epoch in the history of music over the thousand years, quietly passed away.
A thousand years have passed and Carrie Thomas’s last words still baffle people, telling them only what they are meant to understand.
