The phone rang a few times before being answered , and Carter asked directly , " Has she still not replied to the message ? " " No ... " Before another word could come out , Carter had already hung up the phone . He opened Emma's chat box , was about to type , but then gave up .

" I am your brother , you are an adult now , I can't control you anymore , I will never like you ! " In the album , Emma's appearance overlapped little by little . Carter , in a daze , selected the photos one by one . He didn't know how long it took him to select them all .
