love letter

After marriage, Will and Helena came to New York to live as promised.They have three children, live in a mansion on Long Island, and live a wealthy and happy life.

As for Alex, Will only heard from a few friends that he joined his mother's Cadbury company after graduating from college.Later, he also traveled around the world and wrote a book "Alexander Lawrence Around the World", but he was suspected of plagiarizing the previous work, and the response was mediocre.

In fact, Will bought that book privately.Alex's circumnavigation route almost completely overlaps with his, and what he saw and heard is naturally very similar, so it's no wonder he was involved in plagiarism.However, he wrote in his postscript: "When I was 14 years old, I met a friend who had sailed around the world. He was an outstanding traveler, adventurer and writer. I admired him very much. Since then , I also had the idea of ​​wanting to travel around the world. Unfortunately, when I was 18 years old, our bumpy and deep friendship was completely broken because of my willfulness and childishness. Now, at the age of 25, I finally completed this Wish. If I have the opportunity to tell him, I will definitely tell him that the world is beautiful and that I am sorry."

Will knew Alex until he was 26 and went to work in Abyssinia.He never knew what happened after that.

"Mr. Collins, my mission is complete." Maria's voice brought Will back to reality from the memory, "I have to go, goodbye. I think Alex will be happy with what I have done of."

"Wait," Will called to her, "where's Alex's tombstone?"

"In Abyssinia... In fact, he has no tombstone. He wrote in his will that we should scatter his cremated ashes into the Red Sea." Maria was a little embarrassed, "his original words were as follows : 'If you want, you can honor me in any corner of the world.'”

"Like a poet," said Helena.

After Maria Lawrence left, Will sat down in his study and unfolded the letter she sent.These letters were written during his travels around the world in 1905-1906.The first one is about what Alex saw and heard in India, the second one is about his feelings in China, and the third one is about his experience of looking for the legendary cannibals in New Guinea... He seems Treat Will as a listener, and write down everything on his mind, just like the stupid conversation they had when they first met.

Until the latest letter—the one written on April 1906, 4, Will finally saw a sentence at the end that was completely different from the previous description.

"I'm going back to the UK in a few days. I love this unforgettable, incredible journey as much as I love you, Will."

Will rubbed his hands on the handwriting of that sentence for a long time, showing a smile, and then put them away in chronological order, and put them in his storage of "Will Collins' Travels Around the World" and "Alexander Lawrence Around the World". World" safe.

"Dad, I'm going on summer vacation soon, and I want to go on a trip!" Lisa ran over and climbed onto her father's neck coquettishly.

"Okay, where do you want to go?" Will asked dotingly, holding his little daughter.

"Go where there is sun and sand!"

Will thought for a while and replied:

"What do you think of Abyssinia?"
